US Cellular on Wednesday announced the arrival of the Samsung Mesmerize, the last of the Galaxy S line to ship to wireless carriers. The Mesmerize is a standard Galaxy S device without the front-facing camera -- otherwise, it ships with the same 1GHz hummingbird processor and 4-inch Super AMOLED as other versions of the smartphone do.
It's available now for $200 with a two-year service agreement and after an $80 mail-in-rebate, which comes in the form of a Visa Debit card.
In addition, Samsung today announced plans to ship the Galaxy Tab to US Cellular, which will join T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, and Best Buy in carrying the tablet. Unfortunately Samsung was extremely short on details and didn't announce a price point or release date, though did say it would be "available to customers in time for the holiday shopping season."

None of these carrier branded tablets can be used as phones. Is the hardware for that not included or is it simply disabled? If disabled, can it be re-enabled using software only?
If you buy the wifi only version, can you use a bricked Galaxy S's parts to hack together an actual 3G, smartphone enabled tablet?
I'd be interested in seeing an ifixit teardown of various Galaxy S and Tablet products to see how the parts go together but they don't seem to have any right now.

Can't tell if you're being facetious, but if not, that's a 4-inch screen on the Mesmerize smartphone and a 7-inch screen on the Galaxy Tab slate.
