A swedish blogger uncovered the 10.1 inch galaxy note promotional materials at the hotel the Samsung reps were staying. There are also giant billboards around Barcelona promoting a 10.1 inch Note. It appears the official announcement will be in the next day or so.

 

I wonder if this giant slab will also function as a phone? :lol:

If this will be fully functional as a phone, I am getting it! Can you imagine the size of the dialer on this thing! No more mis-dialed calls!

 

I'd like to see someone walking around with a 10 inch tablet to their ear, LMAO.

 

Can you imagine, unlimited data on a 10 inch tablet because it is also a phone? That would be awesome!

LMAO, its almost worth the try it and return it policy! Just so we can see the looks on people's faces~

 

But you do have a good point on the unlimited data, that would be nice!

They would almost have to create a new plan for it if it does have voice. Even though you can easily use more data tethering a phone to your computer, no cell carrier wants tablets with unlimited data. It would burn through data like crazy.

That's the truth. Since I've gotten my Prime I've been through almost 3.5 gigs, and I've only had it a week.

 

Most of that is initial setup and extra data required for some games though.

Wow! I hope that's all or mostly WiFi usage...

Yeah, so I gotta rely on open networks, if I ever bring it out. I have the 3G Tab through Sprint that I take out with me.

 

I was talking to a coworker about it. Pretty much anywhere I go that I would use a tablet vs my phone, has WiFi. Home, work, coffee shop, all have WiFi. I don't see the need to have a monthly plan for a tablet. Now if I had to work in remote areas, then I would see the need for 3G or 4G plan on a tablet, or a tethering plan.

Yeah, there really is no need for a data plan with a Tablet. I have the 2gig plan with Sprint which at the time was the lowest available. I've never gone over a gig. I've been considering going down to the 1gig plan for 19.99$, but know that the second I do it, I'll be running over the limit in no time :P

Using a 10.1" tablet as a phone, you could be the updated version of this guy...

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
