Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab Info Thread

Figure out how to sync your contact list with Google Contacts and then it will automatically sync with your tab.

Looks good, and it supports using Google openid logins, so no need to remember yet another set of account details.

Edit: having tried it out I'm not impressed: it doesn't support the basic Android...

I'm pretty sure the default is actually the other way round: Samsung's own keyboard is the default but you can switch to Swype as you describe or by press & hold on any input field and select 'input...

I would, but it won't accept my IMEI number. There's quite a discussion going on at xda-developers whether the offer applies retrospectively or not.
