T-Mobile recently dropped its prices on two popular Android-powered devices from Samsung. The Galaxy Tab, Samsung’s first Android tablet offering, is now available for $349.99 with a two-year agreement; down from $399.99. The popular Samsung Vibrant, T-Mobile’s version of the Galaxy S smartphone, dropped from $199.99 to $149.99 on contract. These new prices appear to be permanent adjustments rather than temporary sale prices, and may help bolster sales as the final weekend of the 2010 holiday shopping season approaches. Sales of the Samsung Galaxy Tab recently passed the 1 million unit mark and inevitable price drops will likely help the device maintain an impressive sales pace. T-Mobile is the first U.S. carrier to drop the regular selling price of the tablet, and it now touts the lowest on-contract price for the Galaxy Tab in the country.

    Nearly 6 months and finally a final price drop for the Vibrant, it must have sold fairly well.

    I’ve heard mixed things about Galaxy Tab sales. According to Samsung, they sold like hotcakes. But my local T-Mobile guy says he’s not moving any of them. He further claims that other T-Mo dealers are saying the same thing. One thing is true: you don’t get a price drop if sales are still hot. Maybe it just cooled off quickly after the initial hype died down.

      Could be a final push for Christmas sales. Personally, I went and messed with 2 different ones. And both were not good user experiences. Not smooth at all. Trying to bring up the Internet seemed pretty laggy. And I mean from the time I hit the button. It sat there for a second before it opened a window. Both did the same thing. Wasn’t great.

        Most stores tell me that they are overpriced gadgets, only for those who can afford them. They don’t integrate with anything else (unlike the PlayBook). Until Android 3.0 comes out, they are only pricey, half-way solutions. I sure wouldn’t want to be roped into a two year contract for something that is already falling behind. Their Flash support is not very good yet. Without hardware acceleration, there is considerable lag.
