I have owed my Samsung Tab 7.7 for about a month now so thought I'd share my opinion with others who might be looking at purchasing one. Firstly I should explain that mine is the 3G model and was bought in the Middle East for around £400. Something that I found unclear when looking at reviews back in February was the TV Universal Remote function. Just to clarify, an email to Samsung UK revealed that it is only available for the American market, which is a great shame. Therefore mine doesn't have the IR transmitter built in on one side. I was aware of this before I purchased it, but decided to get one anyway. I can imagine anyone being disappointed had they expected it because of reviews they had read beforehand. Perhaps Samsung could make that a little clearer in the description on their UK site. The only indication I saw was the omission of the function in the tech specs.Anyway, that aside, full marks to Samsung for producing a superb piece of kit. Screen is as good as you have probably read already. I did a direct comparison with the 7.0 plus model in store, and the screen just pops! Build quality, with the metal back, makes the 7.7 stand out from the crowd. Mind you, as has been written about elsewhere, it does make it feel like it's going to slip from your grasp quite easily. So a gel or leather case is vital. Shame to hide it away, but that's possibly the case with most tablets, apart from possibly the Sony. I have a leather book type case on order. Hope I don't drop it before it arrives!
Now I like both Samsung and Apple products. But I travel a lot so chose the 7.7 over a Samsung 8.9 and Ipad due size and weight mainly. My other concerns with the Ipad was a lack of a micro sd card slot and having to convert all my video files to play on it. And I wasn't prepared to jailbreak it. The 7.7 just plays anything!
So a month on and I can honestly say I am happy with the tablet. Its fast, screen size and clarity for surfing the "interweb" is great, even with my old eyes. Battery life is good, seems to hang in there forever. I particularly like the screen capture function, very quick and easy, ideal when you just want to record some information on the fly for later. And I have found myself using the tablet at home, instead of my laptop, more often than I originally thought I would.
Now the Ipad 3 has been released, I'm sure all media attention will be diverted towards it, and quite rightly too. But anyone in the market for a smaller size tablet could do a lot worse than take a look at this offering from Samsung, Good luck with whatever you choose.

I have the old tab p1000 and a transformer tf101 but felt the 10.1 was too big so decided to get this new 7.7 and I am sure as hell glad I did, its truely superb. The size is perfect and the huge resolution makes normal size websites a pleasure to use. Its so light its hard to believe they could make it so light yet look stunning and feel strong.As for performance its the best i'be experienced, very fast yet the battery lasts ages. The display is stunning and is another reason I went for this model, I have a galaxy s2 so am used to this display and won't settle for anything less from now on.
#### 5 Month Update ####
Still 5 stars and wouldn't part with this tab for the world, cannot fault it. Have the genuine samsung flip front case for it, match made in heaven

************** Updated July 2012 ***********************The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 has had rave reviews in the technical press. I have to agree with them. Its very well made with a beautiful Super AMOLED Plus screen, its light in the hand, and unlike an Ipad you can expand its memory with a Micro SD card (up to 32gb).
The main fault, is its a little pricey especially now that the IPad2 has had its its price reduced. Originally it was around £500 its now down to around £423,(March 2012). After dabbling with clunky Itunes. The flexibility of Android even in the slightly older 3.2 version has won me over. (and as of 23 July 2012 a now very reasonable £379).
If you want a light fast well made tablet this is the one for you. There is an alternative to Itunes and the Ipad, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, I would recommend it.
If Samsung pull their finger out and up date the Android operating system promptly to Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) I'd give it 5 stars.
-Updated to ICS Android 4 today (23 July 2012). The update corrects the slight faults the Gingerbread software had and changes a good tablet into a brilliant device. Hence the update from 4 Stars to 5.
4 months to update from Android 3.2 to 4. Samsung is still a little tardy in getting those updates out to users. But hey they got there in the end!
