With recent mention coming from T-Mobile and Sprint, it looks like we now have word from AT&T. This news deals with the upcoming availability of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablet and AT&T has offered up an official price and a release date. In short, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 will be available on November 9 and it will arrive priced at $499.99.
Right off the bat, the AT&T pricing is a bit nicer as compared with Sprint. Sprint will have the tablet priced at $550. Perhaps even nicer though, AT&T is giving customers a chance to knock a $100 off the purchase price. Granted, that means buying another Samsung device, however if you were already in the market for a new smartphone and a new tablet, this could be a nice offer.
According to the details provided;
“AT&T is giving customers more reasons to purchase a Samsung device this holiday season as part of a limited time offer that gives customers up to $100 off the purchase of any connected Samsung device of lesser or equal value, including the new Samsung ATIV smart PC and Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, when they purchase any Samsung Galaxy smartphone (w/ two-year agreement incl. qualifying voice and data plans).”
In other words, buy two Samsung devices from AT&T and you will get a $100 discount on the one that is the lower priced.
Otherwise, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 will bring Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and 4G LTE connectivity along with specs to include a 10.1-inch (1280 x 800) display, dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, a microSD card slot, VGA quality front-facing camera, 3 megapixel rear-facing camera and 7,000 mAh battery.
For a Limited Time, Buy any Samsung Galaxy Smartphone1 and Receive up to $100 off a Second Connected Samsung Device including the new Samsung ATIV smart PC and Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
