Notebooks Questions & Answers

Level 2

I think there are some Chinese tablets that have the feature....you can use Skype or some other apps for calling

Level 1

What about the quality ones, like Motorola, HTC, Samsung? I just heard that ASUS are going to produce a phone/tablet combo, with idea similar to Motorola ATRIX 4G docking, except that Motorola are using notebook base and ASUS are betting on a tablet base. Sounds pretty cool, and I'm also wondering why would the manufacturers intentionally disable such a great option? Of course I'm not suggesting having the tablet directly placed on your ear, but rather using a bluetooth or cable handsfree to achieve the calls.

Level 3

It shouldn't be a problem with any tablet with 3G connectivity and bluetooth for handsfree. I remember the old htc advantage (which is pretty much a tablet) could do it.

Level 2

Can you make a call using Motorola XOOM? Or Samsung Galaxy Tab?

Level 5

It appears that the EU version of the Galaxy Tab was able to make phone calls OTB, while the US version needs some hacking to do so. Besides it allows phone calls only through T-Mobile network, so it is kinda limited.

@I.P.K. what is silly for you is cool for someone else. I'd prefer having a tablet that can replace all my mobile gadgets, so I can keep 1 device for all needs. If it also supports bluetooth communication and can be used with a headset, can't see why not using it as a phone?

Level 2

In other forums I read that Galaxy Tab has some problems detecting bluetooth headsets

Hahaha I guess you can but you`ll be walking the streets talking to a window :D
