Bell should be launching the Samsung Galaxy Tab on or by November 16th. Pricing is seen as a little under what we were told Rogers is listing prices for, at $649.95, which is good for competition.

Last week we brought you a story that the Verizon version of the Galaxy Tab would not be featuring Skype. Well thankfully it seems that is no longer the case, but rather only partially the case.
Skype will in fact be available on Verizon’s Galaxy Tab, but not over 3G. This does not come as a big surprise, given that all versions of the Galaxy Tab will be using the “direct-to-consumer” version of Skype Mobile, which is strictly Wi-Fi only.
No word yet about whether or not NFL Mobile, and V Cast video will make their way to Big Red’s Galaxy Tab, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see on that one.

Samsung Mobile announced today that it will be releasing the Samsung Galaxy Tab with U.S. Cellular. Although a date and pricing have not been given, and we know T-Mobile is the 1st carrier to offer the Galaxy Tab in the US, we know it’ll be after November 10th at the very least, with similar price points.
The Samsung Galaxy is on an all out, world-wide blitz (I’m in defensive NFL mode, its Sunday) ready to take on the ever demanding and popular iPad.
Israel is the latest, adding another location the Samsung Galaxy Tab is available. The tab will be offered exclusively by Cellcom where it’ll cost 89NIS ($25 US) per month in 36 installments, which adds up to 3,604NIS ($900 US). The only Galaxy Tab available is the 16GB version, not the 32GB . If you decide to grab this Galaxy Tab, the purchase requires an additional 89NIS ($25 US) monthly data plan.

T-Mobile looks like it plans to have the Samsung Galaxy Tab available around November 10th. While this news comes to us from a retailer, the details seem to fall in line with what we’ve heard so far. Verizon has already announced their release date of November 11th and will sell it contract-free for $600. So it makes sense that T-Mobile would sell their version of the Tab for a subsidized price of $400 with a 2 year contract.
It’s still not cheap, but the price wars are beginning! If I were you, I’d be patient and wait for the other retailers to bring their Samsung Galaxy Tab offers to the table and possibly wait for some holiday deals.

Good news if you want a shiny new Samsung Galaxy Tab on T-Mobile UK as they just dropped the November arrival bomb onto our laps. Looks like Samsung is doing their best to make sure this Android tablet is available around the same time globally, just like they did with their Galaxy S phones.
Oh yea, one other detail slipped through – apparently the Tab is rocking a 1.2GHz processor instead of 1GHz. Whether this is a typo or not is unknown, but it wouldn’t hurt to have a little surprise horsepower under the hood to get more units moving. Interested? head on over to T-Mobile’s site to stay posted.

Earlier this month, we reported that Japanese carrier DoCoMo would begin selling the Samsung Galaxy S around the end of October. Well the end of October is upon us, and as expected, DoCoMo has announced that they will be selling their version of the Galaxy S, codename SC-02B, beginning on October 28th.
The phone’s specs are nearly identical to the original Galaxy S model, and includes a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, 5MP camera with support for 720p video recording, HSPA and Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 3.0, and expandable storage via microSD slot.
The device will also feature support for DoCoMo’s forthcoming e-book service, which will also be available on the DoCoMo Galaxy Tab which is expected to land sometime next month.
Prices for the DoCoMo Galaxy S have not been revealed, but many are predicting the phone will be offered for free with a new 2-year contract. Stay tuned.

Get out your calendars and pencil in November 11, because that is the day the Galaxy Tab will be on sale from Verizon for $599.99 without a contract.
That’s right, Samsung’s Android tablet will be available sans contract with the option of purchasing one of Verizon’s new data plans, such as 1GB for $20 a month. It was also announced that the Verizon version of the Galaxy Tab will feature a solid black background as opposed to the traditional white.
We’re not sure if Verizon will also be selling this on contract with a subsidized price, as $599.99 may be a bit steep for some consumers. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
Continue after the break for the announcement:
No Photoshop tricks here, this is a real pic of a Samsung Galaxy Tab over in Romania. The button itself though, is misleading. It’s not really a button that will bring glorious porn to your new big screen tablet. In fact, it’s short for “Pornire” which means “Start” – you know, like the Start button in Windows. I guess the Romanian devs caught word of this silly translation and have already decided to change it to “Acasa” which means “Home”. Good move, although I doubt that is going to stop anyone from creating a whole page dedicated to porn URL shortcuts on their new, flash-based, 7-inch tablet. Oh yea… DROID DOES (porn).

Samsung has announced that the release of the Galaxy Tab in South Korea has been delayed pending software updates. The manufacturer was supposed to be announcing the device on October 14, but is choosing instead to “equip the device with better localized applications for the domestic market.”
It’s a bit of a surprise that Samsung is just now deciding to do this, especially given the fact that their HQ is located in South Korea. However, Samsung is insiting that the press event will only be pushed back another week or two, so stay tuned.
