The tablet itself is nice and easy to use. The problem is that the tablet comes pre-loaded with a ton of apps loaded by Samsung that cannot be removed, and less than half the internal storage is allotted to storing the apps, including all the junk provided by Samsung.
Combine that with the fact that they have limited the hardware functionality so that you can't move apps to the external SD card storage and you have a very limited device that fills up fast.
If you want a real tablet and insist on staying with the Samsung brand, get a GT-P6210 if you can still find it. That is the older version of this, and has at least double the feature set including the ability to control where apps are loaded. That one I gave a 5 star review.
Word from Samsung is that this is the new model of building the hardware - limiting them so that you can't move apps around. So good luck everyone! I'm switching my brand of choice.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, can't control where apps go, fewer features than older models
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Received my Galaxy Tab 2 as a Mothers Day gift... I absolutely love it. I take it everywhere I go bc its so light weight, which works out great due to my back issues. I may need a class on all the features but the fun part is learning. Great job Samsung
This produce surpass my expectations. For the price of similar products the price cannot be beat. Love to read books I can download any reading app and it will work, also love the fact that I can listen to audio book too.
I have only had mine for a week or 2 and would not trade it r give it up. But I will buy another samsung product again. Well ok the accessories could be a little cheaper. But other than that I am very happy with my tab.
I have had my Galaxy Tab for almost a year now and I love it. It has all the features I need and want. Never had any problems with it.Easy to use and user friendly.
I was looking for a 7" tablet that I could carry around easier than a 10". This one is perfect for my needs. Mainly wanted one to check email, read books and use as a planner. Easier to read than my phone screen.
I have waited to purchase a tablet for the last year since my daughter got an iPad. I did not want a 10 inch tablet and thought that the available 7 inch tablets were too expensive for the use that I wanted. I have several computers, notebooks, a netbook, and an Android phone; but wanted the smaller form factor of the 7 inch tablet for portability. This tablet is excellent in design and function. Highly recommended!
