Dan, that's AMAZING! I'm so excited for you! Way to go! I hope you really enjoy it. Let us know how you're usage patters change as a result of having the device relative to your other devices and especially your expectations. Great job on bypassing the Verizon registration! I bet that someone would really appreciate this information and you should submit it to a popular blog (eg. androidcentral) so that others will be able to do the same. One thing that you may consider doing is running the one-click-lag-fix on the device. It's supposed to speed up disk IO significantly and prevent stutters that can happen on the hardware. Other than that, let us know how it's going!
Also did not notice any of the lag that many sites have talked about. Seemed to run buttery smooth to me. I should caveat that by saying: 1. The Tab on display did not have live wallpaper. Not sure how much having that on hinders smoothness. 2. Coming from an N900 anything will seem super smooth and responsive to you. May not feel the same way for those who have been using iphones or android phones for ages.
Got my tab yesterday and it is sExy.......trying to get use to swype! It's still no maemo 5.......the browser is weak! Dual boot would rock!
Very interesting! I'm curious to see how people substitute tablets for smartphones in general. I'm guessing that a 7" tab will replace smartphones 90% of the time. They're portable, and a 7" screen is much more comfortable than a 3.5".
