WiFi not more than enough for you? Verizon’s here to present you a little more range. Customers may be capable of pre-order an LTE-enabled version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 starting on June 8th, however the company’s playing coy about when exactly it would ship. The “coming weeks” is the appropriate week can get, though if that wasn’t vague enough for you the clicking release embedded below also says “this summer.” Those willing to sign up to a brand new two-year agreement are $530 for the 16GB model and $630 for the 32GB. That’s a $130 premium over the WiFi edition — not counting the subsequent two years worth of monthly data charges, obviously.
