I suppose because I have become used to my Sensation that the tab will seem a little slow. My main problem is that if you try to make a few quick presses on icons or the web it doesn't like it and spits you out to the home screen. Perhaps a little more patience is the key?

I also had an update last week, which I think was an old one, but it would be nice to go to gingerbread although that still seems a while off yet!
It's a shame that the default image for the Galaxy Tab makes that RAM manager necessary. You certainly will enjoy V6 SuperCharger, I think!

Are you using the built-in browser? I don't have this problem with Dolphin, which is what I use instead of the built-in browser (which I dislike a lot!). If nothing else, I HIGHLY recommend either Dolphin or Opera. Opera is fast-as-lightning on the Galaxy Tab and works great!

Yeah--I keep checking, but I don't see the promised Gingerbread update (or even any more talk about it from Samsung). I'm very, very disappointed and angry at Samsung over that. I've been running Gingerbread on my ancient little Droid for MONTHS now--why is my tablet waiting??

Well, little lady... welcome to the Android Army! I hope we can help you get the most out of it, coming from Maemo like we did.

What are you complaining about? I'm still happily hacking/using my Motorola Droid--quickly nearly 2 years old in a few months--and it's working more than fast enough for everything except the most demanding video games.

Seems to be a good plan to me. You might throw in V6 Supercharger in there somewhere (maybe after CyanogenMod gets flashed on there).

Beyond that... ENJOY!
