Samsung Galaxy Tab Coming to T-Mobile Nov. 10 for $400

T-Mobile will offer the Samsung Galaxy Tab starting Nov. 10 for $399.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and two-year contract, the wireless provider announced Wednesday.

T-Mobile said it will have a monthly rate plan for the Galaxy Tab, but did not reveal what that might be. The announcement means that, for now, T-Mobile will be the first carrier to offer the Galaxy Tab; Verizon will start offering it on Nov. 11 and Sprint will launch on Nov. 14. It will eventually be available on all four wireless carriers, but no word yet on when AT&T will add it to its lineup.

Sprint will offer two data plans for the Galaxy Tab: 2GB with unlimited messaging for $29.99 per month; or 5GB with unlimited messaging for $59.99. It will also be $399.99 with a two-year contract. Verizon will sell the device for $600 without a contract. Customers can opt for a $20 per month 1GB plan.

The Android-based Galaxy Tab includes a 7-inch screen, a 1-GHz Hummingbird processor, and two cameras: a 3-megapixel one with a camcorder and flash; and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video chat. It also offers mobile hotspot capability as an optional add-on for connection on up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices for $29.99 per month.

About Our Expert

Executive Editor, News

My Experience

I started out covering tech policy in DC for The National Journal, where my beat included state-level tech news and all the congressional hearings and FCC meetings I could handle. I later covered Wall Street trading tech before switching gears to consumer tech. I now lead PCMag's news coverage.

My Areas of Expertise

Getting my start in DC means I still have a soft spot for tech policy; Congressional hearings can sometimes be as entertaining as a Bravo reality show, for better or worse. But PCMag is all about the technology we use every day, as well as keeping an eye out for the trends that will shape the industry in the years ahead (or flop on arrival). I've covered the rise of social media, the iOS vs. Android wars, the cord-cutting revolution that's now left us with hefty streaming bills, and the effort to stuff artificial intelligence into every product you could imagine. This job has taken me to CES in Vegas (one too many times), IFA in Berlin, and MWC in Barcelona. I also drove a Tesla 1,000 miles out west as part of our Best Mobile Networks project. Of late, my focus is on our hard-working team of reporters at PCMag, guiding and editing their robust coverage.
