I'm loving the 8.9-inch screen. It really feels like they've hit the sweet-spot
Size-wise. It's big enough that watching movies and playing games looks good
But it's small and light enough that it's super portable. I can fit it in my jacket pocket and w

The editors didn't like
Sluggish performance
Kinda expensive
No expandable storage
$50 less than the 10.1
LTE version is bundled with contract
The one thing that seems to have suffered for this size reduction is the audio. The speakers weren't great on the 10.1
But they sound even tinnier on the 8.9
Which is too bad. It employs the same rear camera as the 10.1 which isn't great. That said
You
Expensive
Lackluster cameras
Design
The Tab 8.9 is nearly identical to the larger version
Coming in at the same width (0.34 inches) but with a smaller 9.1 x 6.2-inch footprint. It still only has one connection port
The proprietary one on the bottom
Keyboard can feet cramped
Though it's fast and responsive
Camera is a step down in many ways from the Tab 10.1
App selection still lags the iPad
Not running Android 3.2
A bit too pricey
Tablet app selection in the Android marketplace is still limited
No social ports like USB or an SD card reader
No 3G/ 4G option.
Minimally cheaper than 10.11GHz chip soon to be outclassed
A bit pricey
No SD card slot
Android tablets are still short on tablet-specific apps
No HDMI out
No schedule for Android 3
2 upgrade
Like the Tab 10.1
Fewer ports and slots than most Android tablets
Lik
UI inconsistencies
Lack of apps
Subpar speakers
No useful inputs/ports
Less expensive than an iPad
But still too pricey
Still expensive
The lack of ports on the tablet will be a problem for some and the plastic back leaves the Tab 8.9 feeling less solid than the iPad 2

I really enjoyed my time with the Tab 8.9 4G, and I think its standout features would be two parts. First, its lightweight and secondly, its 4G connectivity. You're really only going to get the 4G version of the Tab 8.9 for the 4G, which is why 4G ha...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 4G is a thing of beauty which will delight those who care about design. Unfortunately in return you sacrifice a few connectivity options, while general performance is good but not great. The LTE speed boost is impressive, but w...
Great lightweight design, 4G network ready, Good LCD display, OGG, DivX and Xvid playback
No TVout, No expandable memory, 4G hampered by slow browser, Slow battery charging
Despite a more portable size and weight, and 4G network radios, the Tab 8.9 does little that surpasses previous Galaxy Tabs or other products in this category as a whole.

4G connectivity, Excellent size and weight, Good build quality
4G coverage currently limited, Sluggish performance, Too expensive
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 4G is Australia's first 4G tablet, offering impressive data speeds and a size and weight that we think is near perfect. However, Telstra's currently limited 4G coverage, a high price tag and some niggling software issues mean yo...
