I use a Verizon cell, so I thought the Galaxy Tab would be the way to go for $30 a month and $199 for the tab. (half off the $399 price if a Verizon customer)

What a mistake that was. First it was slower that dial up. I was pulling my hair out waiting for web pages to download. Second problem was there is a 2 gig limit each month, and then a $10 a gig after that.

The sales people tell you 2 gigs is like 7,000 emails which I thought was alot. After ten days of surfing the net I used over one gig.

Well, I took the Galaxy back to Verizon before the 14 limit to opt out of the plan.
There was no early termination fee, but a $75 restocking fee because it was used.

I was nice to put the tab in the car and surf the net while waiting for the better half to shop, and the GPS was cool, but the speed was killing me.

BTW, I live in Poinciana with good cell coverage. Went to Century Link for internet only for $44.95, no limits, and 3 MPS which is fine. 10 meg is $5 more if you need it.
