... and I have to say that I'm very happy with it!

It's kind of funny because it's just a larger version of the Galaxy S i9000 but also better in any respect. Froyo feels way better than Eclair and I can't feel any lags. I think this device is exactly what I ever wanted: something in between a smart phone and a netbook or laptop. There is no need to carry my laptop or my i9000 around in most cases.

Which firmware version do you have (I will edit the post with my version, I don't have my Galaxy here, it is anyway the more recent of the list of the apposite post)? I'm very happy with my TAB, BUT I'm looking forward for some lag fix (browser, scrolling, quadrant 960...). I'm tempted of trying a Galaxy S one...

Got mine today also, One thing that really bugged me was the custom port to the charger instead of a micro USB port.
without that one stupid cable the whole tablet is dead, why make a propriety cable?
Other than that its amazing.

I think a standard-usb-port can't load the 4400mAh battery successfully ... :eek:

It's not a guess, it's a fact. It's not (or needs too much time) possible to charge via USB with a battery-capacity like 4400mAh.
Sounds silly, but that's what SAMSUNG said. Whatever ... :D

I can't remember if it was a video or something I read but I remember a Samsung rep giving the reason for the prorietary(sp) charging port is to facilitate for charging the Tab faster...

ONLY JHA is a full firmware. all the other firmwares on samfirwmare.com do not contain the dbdata.rfs file so they are not full firmwares.
if you bricked, first flash JHA with repartition and then flash newwer firmwares without repartition.

If you were able to flash JHA (with PIT and repartition) then you should be able to flash to JI5 or JID without PIT and repartition.

I am on XXJI5 and was able to flash to JID without PIT or repartition and then flash back to XXJI5.

again, since currently only JHA has the dbdata.rfs file in it, it is the only firmware we have that can be flash with repartition selected.
If you check reparation and try to flash a firmware that does not have the dbdata.rfs file the device won't boot.
