Which one to get

[ophawk]

I am looking at getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. So I am not sure what to do get the 4g LTH from Verizon and pay a lot more or just get the wifi and run it off my cell? Is it worth the extra money to get the 4g??
Thanks

I would never consider getting a tab with a data plan. It's very expensive in the long term. If you can use your phone to tether that's a better idea. Also there are WiFi hotspots all over these days.

What leeshor said.

Furthermore: By using your phone to tether: You can turn the WiFi hotspot capability on and off as the need arises. Going to be around town, where there will be lots of WiFi hotspots and you won't need to tether? Leave it off and save yourself $20 or $30 a month. Going travelling and thinking you'll be needing it? Have it turned on. Turn it off again when you get back.
