Am with you. I didn't like it.

I did a factory reset on my tab because it was really LAGGY, and got the old market back.

How do I keep the old market?
Last time I think it upgraded itself.

I don't think that you can. It will eventually upgrade automatically on you again, so long as you have the Market Updater running (which you need). More importantly, you'll never get the 24-hours return policy back.. you're stuck with the new 15-minute return policy, no matter what you do.

Wow £399. That is quite an amazing price. Still think I will wait to see what happens on Boxing Day though.

@crazbelize Why is the Tab called SGH-T849? Thought it was GT-P1000

@danramos What is the name of the Samsung headset you were using? Need to check it out.

The tab on different carriers has a different model name or number.

Check this site out: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab?cid=ppc_gxt_goo_Brand_Galaxy_samsung+galaxy+ta b

I'll point you back to my two relevant posts where I talked about my two favorites...

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1465
Where I said...
I have two headsets that work GREAT for me...
Overall, my favorite is still my Motorola S305 bluetooth headset. They sound pretty good and they work GREAT for phone calls too. Callers tell me they hear me better with these than they do when I just use my phone. They appears to work great with both my Motorola Droid and with my Samsung Galaxy Tab alike.

The other pair I really like, out of my collection of bluetooth headsets, is my Samsung SBH600 Noise-Canceling Bluetooth Headset. They suck miserably at phone calls (the microphones are terrible) but the audio quality for listening to music or podcasts is incredibly good! PLUS, this headset can also with with a 3.5mm plug as well, so it's not JUST for Bluetooth and can use them with my Nintendo DS, in addition to the Androids.
...and http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1482
Where I said...
Well, in general, I would handily recommend the Motorola S305 because they're inexpensive but deliver excellent audio quality for the price--and especially because they serve that dual purpose so well, listening to stereo audio and making phone calls with good sound quality. They are, indeed, very light and they're reasonably comfortable--better than most bluetooth stereo headsets I've owned or tried. You certainly couldn't go wrong for the price. You can probably do what I did and get the Samsung later for those other times when you want to just bliss out to some music--but in the meantime, the Motorola are an all-around better purchase for your first pair. That's my opinion, anyway.
Hope that helps.

Had the chance of playing with a Galaxy tab....excellent, fast UI....but I was let down by the lack of physical keyboard and that awful camera....I might as well wait for the next generation dual core phones/tablets.....for now I don`t see a reason to let my trusty N900 go.

I think you worded it wrong: It's not a lack of physical keyboard, it's obtained a light-weight profile and a far better on-screen Swype keyboard.

The camera, I'll admit, is poor but admittedly takes surprisingly good pictures and video for such a low resolution.

Waiting isn't a bad idea, though, despite being stuck with your N900 for now.

Now after having both devices, the n900 and the galaxy tab for a while now and carrying them both around all the time.
n900:
I do love the Phone/skype/voip application(my Phone rings and I don't even know if its voip mobile or skype call without looking) on the n900, same with the messaging: one program does it all.
Galaxy Tab:
Still love swype
and I am starting to get annoyed with the ads in basically every program

I can imagine why that would be annoying. But the upside is you get tons of free apps. e.g angry birds full pack you have to pay for on ios but is free on android but with ads. I think danramos mentioned he rooted his tab and then did something to block ads.

There's an easy way to remove ads when you're playing angry birds: just long-press power and select 'flight mode' before you start the game. It also works for 'Angry Birds Seasons' except that the first time you visit a new xmas level you have to not be in flight mode (I think it checks back with a central server to ensure you've reached the correct date).

Plus as a bonus you can be sure you won't get any annoying phone calls while you're playing. :^)
