No data plan available? I guess that's just for suckers anyway since you could just tether your phone to it whenever, but would probably just stick to wifi regardless. Thing looks really nice, I'd definitely get one, love how thin it is. First thing I'd have to do though is root it then throw a custom ROM on it for sure to change that ugly ass bottom status bar, that right corner especially with the clock looks hideous haha. Probably gonna wait til a quad-core tablet comes out later on, too bad it's not this one. Surprising to see, or wasn't there some issue with like the tegra3 quadcore chipset having problems with LTE? If this tab doesn't have mobile radios than it shouldn't be an issue. I guess it's still early for quadcore but I'd rather just get it early, even tho the majority of things don't take advantage of it, instead of getting some hardware that's already been on the market for like a year or two.:icon_ lala:
