With word of release dates and pricing for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 this morning, we’ve just had clarification that when the device goes on sale next month around the country, it will be exclusive to Vodafone, but not locked to the network.
That said, it will be pre-loaded with Vodafone software, which will obviously work best if partnered with the Vodafone network. Given Honeycomb is yet to become mainstream, it may also take a little while for custom ROMs to appear that will clear out the Voda software for that vanilla Honeycomb operating system experience.
With the outright price including 6GB of data with three months expiry, at least those of you keen for the new Galaxy Tab will be able to switch carriers when your data runs out (or even beforehand) should you choose.
