Orange has unveiled its price plans for the Samsung Galaxy Tab on top of the Vodafone announcement of its Samsung Galaxy Tab pricing earlier today. It looks like there will be a plethora of options for people shelling out for the Tab to choose from, although everybody is pricing the Tab at £500 or more.

The Orange Samsung Galaxy Tab pricing is based around two frameworks, the Orange Raccoon price plans and the Orange Dolphin price plans, and each are available either in 30 day rolling contracts or as 12 month contracts.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab on a 12 month Raccoon contract will set you back £500, with a 500MB monthly data allowance for £5 per month. You can also sign up to Raccoon under two different 30 day rolling contracts. The basic 30 day contract means you pay £530 for the Tab, and data is 5p/MB. Alternatively, pay £5 per month and get the Tab for £530 and 500MB data limit.

The Orange Dolphin contract set is intended for heavier users. Two 30 day rolling contracts set the price of the Tab at £515, and give 1GB of data. Pay £15 per month though and you get unlimited BT Openzone Wi-fi, where £10 just gets you the 1GB data.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab costs £500 on Dolphin 12 month contracts. Choose between paying £15 per month for 1GB anytime data and 1GB quiet time data (between 12am and 4am), plus unlimited BT Openzone Wi-fi. Pay £10 per month and you’ll get the same, but with no BT Openzone Wi-fi.

What do you think about the Orange price plans in comparison to Vodafone’s? Who would you rather stump for, or are all these prices just through the roof when it comes to the up front price of the Samsung Galaxy Tab?

    These prices are a JOKE! Forget Samsung – look at some other reasonably priced tablets – Archos or Viewsonic. Besides very VERY soon the prices will come down. Gadgets – yes, overpriced gadgets – NO.

      It is alot. But I can assure you it's in another league to anything that Archos has made – and it has Google apps.

        So in your reckoning, it must be worth an extra £250 for Google Apps? I don't think so! You can buy an Advent tablet for half that lunatic price or a Toshiba Folio (both machines have far superior connectivity), As fir Giggle Apps – it is very simple to add it to any machine (I have added it to my Archos 5 in about 90 seconds.
        The best thing we can do is to boycott the morons at Samsung for setting a lunatic price for the Galaxt Tab – I doubt that anyone will buy it and hopefully we can see Samsung filing for bankruptcy in the next 3 months – only a lunatic would pay £500+ for this crap.

        BTW – do the morons at Samsung read the posts on this site?

          Samsung UK do, yes absolutely. I doubt they'll be going under anytime soon though! But yes, between Google's restrictions and Samsung's price, it's a difficult sell against a WiFi only iPad with Apple's incredible economies of scale.
