As a UK retailer put paid to the Samsung Galaxy Tab‘s sole hope of competing with the Apple iPad by revealing an astronomical pre-order price tag of £680, a glimmer of light has emanated from O2 Germany’s Twitter account in the form of pay monthly deal for the tablet upon its October launch.
After an upfront cost of €99, customers will be able to snag the 7-inch full touch tablet for just €27.50 per month, falling largely in line with smartphone contract pricing in the country.
With Vodafone also touted to be releasing Samsung’s device on European shores, it’s a lot more likely that the Galaxy Tab will arrive on a contract rather than asking consumers to shell out the full cost up front…especially if pricing for the smaller 16GB model starts around where the costliest iPad ends.
Further UK release details when we get them…
