$250 would be the sweet spot, same as the Nexus 7.

Otherwise, it's overpriced.

i don't think the chipsets are the concern here ...most people give no concern ...they wan't a working device ,and as far as everything goes the Nexus 7 is unbeatable because of its simplicity ...note 8.0 will have to deal it with the nexus 7 (2nd gen)

Even 300 Euros should be OK, but I think Samsung is really over their heads when it comes to tablets. Anyway, let's see what the final price will be when it is finally on the market.

I hope that its priced around $300 because it shouldnt be overpriced like the iPad mini is!! Since I dont have the Note II (AT&T) in my possesion, this would be a great compliment

but according to this comparison (features, capabilities):
goo [dot] gl/OW9X8
this should cost 3x more than iOS devices :)

With my birthday coming up, It'll either be the Note 8.0 or the Nexus 7 as a birthday present. I hope that the Note 8.0 isnt overpriced!!

The Note II was already overpriced when it came out and I hope that the Note 8.0 doesnt follow suit

Would love one if it makes it to tmobile.

its great but it has very ugly design...& looks like sgn2 is resize to get sgsn 8.0....

3. darkskoliro posted on 18 Feb 2013, 03:06 3 3

...I think its ugly as hell. Looks wise? iPad mini wins...but thats the only thing it can win in haha

6. jsdechavez posted on 18 Feb 2013, 03:16 2 1

Agree. Galaxy S3 Oversized is ugly. They should have sticked with the original Note 10 design.

7. RaKithAPeiRiZ posted on 18 Feb 2013, 03:18 2 0

agree ...it looks like a Nintendo DS

Bezels are way too big. Otherwise prefer this to iPad mini

9. bparkerson posted on 18 Feb 2013, 03:29 4 0

I simply don't like the fact that all Samsung products look the same including the S3, Ativ, Note 2, all the new 2nd rate budget based devices, and now the Note 8. Hell, even the new S4 is rumored to have the same look. The only distinguishing factor, cosmetically, is shear size! Running this look into the ground wouldn't ya think? It's like listening to the same song over and over no matter the tempo, it still gets old!

Im gonna get this ....the Wacom stylus is great on my Note 2 but I want a bigger screen to exploit its full potential....functionality wise, it thrashes the Mini

12. nikenturd (unregistered) posted on 18 Feb 2013, 03:40 1 1

Wacom.technology dont come cheap...plus its 'almost' a Note 2, performance wise it beats the Nexus 7 by a comfortable margin....the price is justifiable IMO

19. JunBringer posted on 18 Feb 2013, 07:52 0 0

Now I'm tempted to sell my Note 2 and use the 3G (hopefully hspa+) model of this since I don't use it as a phone.

21. rusticguy posted on 18 Feb 2013, 11:16 2 0

Overpriced. If above 300 it's a waste ...

Tab 7.7 looked sexy. This, not so much.
