+1 .. agree for the case of Nexus 7

but not for other device which normally will be strictly on local warranty such as HTC and Samsung. For me, warranty coverage is really important to make sure that i will not be pouring money into drain. thus, normally i'll wait for local release

Those apps Play Books, Play Movies, Play Magazines, and Wallet are 'hidden' because they are not available for us, and most probably you are on stock ROM.

Use custom ROM and they will stay.

I use an app called "Link2SD". Those app is shown as "Freeze". So i unfreeze it. But when i play movie or visit those app, i got an error "It is not available in your country even i am using VPN". But magazine & book can view.

after using it for few days and previously owned 10" & 8.9" tablet... I prefer Nexus 7 due to mobility.

so for me its worth it with the price... smile.gif
*
I just use for 3 days already fall in love. A lot of my friend complain the size (7") and wifi only, but if love small size (hold in a hand but bigger than hp), then you will fine with it.

I use to view document, slide, view video recording and music. So internet connection is not major option as everywhere got wifi. If dont have, use hp to tether. If you got laptop, just configure ICS.

I post about configure ICS in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 here:- http://www.ms4u.info/2012/08/enable-intern...sharing-in.html

How about storage? 16GB is small or no micro sd. well, i use USB to go to connect 1TB external HDD.

If you love cloud, u can get skydrive (mine 25GB), dropbox (5GB) and google drive (5GB).

So, as the conclusion "I Love My Nexus 7".... rclxm9.gif

Just a bit of an update: I called them up again after my last posting here. Still "under testing"! What the hell! They actually changed the LCD and the "top panel" (whatever that means, I can only think of the plastic frame).

I checked on Tuesday, the guy said parts gonna be installed and thereafter tested and I should be able to collect within this week. He said should be very fast now.

Called on Wednesday, the guy said parts installed and under testing. Should be ready for collection by Friday.

Called Thursday (yesterday), the guy said "Hmmm... mebbe got problem, shouldn't take so long to test".

Called today, Friday, the guy said still under testing and normally takes 2-3 working days to test (probably bullshitting me as he said this only after I told him of my earlier enquiries and the answers that I got). But I did not shout at them or anything. Yet. The time for that has not come yet. And I also do not want to rush them too much, in case it's true that they are really still testing.

Will give them till middle of next week before I start "shouting". If there is a problem during testing, they should at least call me and tell me what exact problem they are experiencing. At least I know more. And they did promise me to get an exact update from the engineer yesterday and to call me about it. No call is forthcoming.

I think they want to play play first since Nexus 7 is limited in Malaysia. rclxm9.gif
