[Q] Can you explain the different models, I'm confused - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I'm a Canadian looking to buy an 8.9 from Negri Electronics, but I'm confused on pricing and models. Here's my confusion:
Samsung P7300 3G 16GB 3G/GSM Galaxy 8.9" Tab (Soft Black) $498.50
https://negrielectronics.com/samsung-p7300-3g-gsm-galaxy-8-9-tab-soft-black.html
Samsung GT-P7310MAYXAR Tablet 8.9 16GB Wifi Only (Metallic Gray) $495.50
https://negrielectronics.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-101-16gb-mg.html
Samsung SGH-i957 Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE (AT&T) (Unlocked) (Black) $579.50
https://negrielectronics.com/samsung-sgh-i957-galaxy-tab-8-9-lte-at-t-unlocked-black.html
What's confuses me the most is that the P7300 3G 16GB has been reduced from $594 down to $498, the same price as the wifi version ($495.50), but it has 3G/GSM. What gives? Why is the P7300 3G so cheap?

This section is for the 7" Tab, not the 8.9
Next time look closer, there is a specific section (and subsections within it) for the 8.9 version:

White Tab 8.9 LTE

Sammy has released white Tab 8.9 LTE in its home market, South Korea.
If ATT(or anyone) gets it in the US, or even wifi version, I'll def get one for my wife.
Do you guys think we have any chance for this ?

[Q] Questions: AT&T Galaxy Tab or Unlocked Galaxy Tab?

Greetings,
I am in the market for a tablet and I am considering the Galaxy Tab 8.9. AT&T in the US is offering a deal where if you buy and activate an AT&T locked 8.9 Galaxy Tab you get a free Samsung Galaxy S2 or S2 Skyrocket.
Here are my questions:
1. What are the benefits or drawbacks from buying the AT&T branded and locked Galaxy Tab 8.9 versus the unlocked Galaxy Tab as shown here on Expansys: http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung...16gb-android-tablet-black-850-1900-3g-223265/
2. Is the AT&T Galaxy Tab easy to unlock and use sim cards from other countries when traveling abroad?
3. Are there any other differences hardware wise between the AT&T Galaxy Tab and the one in the link above? I cannot find any and have checked multiple sites for information.
4. Would it be possible to flash the rom of the unlocked Galaxy tab to the AT&T Tab?
Any help or opinions greatly appreciated!
I will try to answer you the best I can.
1. AT&T version is faster and newer from my knowledge, but with far less developmental support. ATT supports 4g and LTE while the old tabs only do 3g and wifi. The older generation tablets have good developmental support with an ICS port in development. No custom ROMS at the moment for the ATT version.
2. No experience here, sorry.
3. The old tabs have tegra2 chips, while the ATT version uses qualcomm (snapdragon) chipsets. ATT is 1.5ghz while the 3g one is 1ghz. Both dual core. ATT battery capacity is ever so slightly larger as well. ATT version is 2 grams heavier (lol). The ATT one is considered snappier and more responsive from what i hear, but if the 3g one receives ICS then they could be comparable. The ROMS and Kernels from the older tabs are not compatable with the ATT LTE one. The closest thing to the ATT tablet is the Galaxy S II Skyrocket.
4. ATT Tab is only rooted at the moment through a custom kernel. No CWM or ROMS yet.
Hope this helps, and if I am wrong anywhere someone correct me. Thanks.
Thanks for your help that was very informative! I am still curious about the unlock on the AT&T version though because I travel a lot. Anyone else have any ideas about unlocking the AT&T Tab? I did several searches but could not find specific information for the AT&T version. Thanks.

2. It's unlockable online.
SIM unlock
Has the question about unlocking solved? I was looking at the tablet too and wanted to find a way to unlock it? Is there a way to do it after rooting it? I don't want to buy it from one of those unlock website.

I think the question is, Why is the P7310 so expensive? In the US you can pick one up from Best Buy for $400. If you don't need the 3G functionality, it's a shame that you have to pay for it!
FWIW, I got my P7300 in Cambodian for $477, which I think is pretty average.

Buying an S2 in UK advice needed

Hi Everyone
My last tablet has gone tits up, an Asus Nexus 7 so I'm looking for a new one. I feel the galaxy S2 is a good upgrade.
Just after abit of advice, been reading that there is 2 processor variants. Does this apply to the UK version, if so what should I be on the lookout for?
Also I had my nexus 7 rooted, can't the galaxy S2 be rooted?
Thanks for you time and thank you in advance for your advice!
I believe that mostly Samsung chooses where to send their models and that determines what processor.
Most likely UK only has one.
While it isn't a Note, the S2 (8") is very nice.
The SM-T719 / SM-T713 are the 2016 versions with the SnapDragon SOC.
The SM-T715 / SM-T710 are the 2015 versions with the Exynos SOC.
I got my SM-T719 through Amazon Italy for a lot less money than Amazon UK or Amazon Germany.
It's worth checking out.

loading ROM/firmware from another country on my Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 WiFi (SM-T81x)

as title.
the exact model number is either SM-T810 or T813. I haven't bought it yet but thinking buying one of these 2 models.
so what was your question?
