It is a Galaxy Tab 10.1, but with 4G . No, not that 4G. Not even that 4G. This 4G. , the LTE variety, being spread around like Christmas ham by the oldsters at Verizon Wireless. Cosmetically, the slate offered up by Big Red isn’t any different than the WiFi-only model that we peeked earlier within the year , however the LTE radio tucked within obviously makes it the single to get if you are attempting to find top-tier speeds at the go. VZW will actually hawk two separate models LTE Tab 10.1 models (in white or grey), either one of that are priced outrageously with two-year agreements: $529.99 for the 16GB model and $629.99 for the 32GB model. That’s a beautiful penny (to claim the least!) given the albatross that may be a 24-month contract, and people who’d rather provide their very own connectivity can select the WWAN-less Metallic Grey edition for $499.99 (16GB). Access plans start at $30 per 30 days for 2GB, with $50 per period getting you 5GB, or $80 getting you 10GB (no mention of tethering, unfortunately). Your pickup date? Two days from now, or July 28th for the calendar-challenged.
