QUOTE(kazibul @ Jul 1 2012, 12:40 AM) the purpose of tablet exactly for wifi coz other 1st class country wifi is free everywhere..in malaysia 3g is needed coz the access for internet are limited...thats why for 3rd world country 3G for tablet is important...tq you're right on this, however you should know that at that price point, you can't get a 3g tablet, at least not a decent one with a tegra 3 processor and with that kind of resolution + PPI rate. if they increase the price a bit more for a 3g version, that would end up eating into other tablet's territory and google is not trying to eat into other OEM's profit's, so that's why they decided against making a 3g tablet for this and their whole point was to fight with kindle fire AND more importantly - it was not meant to be sold outside of the US/UK - at least not for now

QUOTE(vicgray @ Jul 9 2012, 11:13 PM) Guys, I want to check with you guys something. Please reply to this thread and give me your feedback. There are quite a number of stores that allow pre-orders of Google Nexus 7, but I have limited funds on my side. I want to know if you guys would be willing to pay full amount of the device once the final price is announced and first batch is done? The reason I am asking is that by doing so, I can order the device from multiple stores, instead of waiting for one batch (about 10 units) to finish selling (and thus receive my funds again) then re-order again, I can order from multiple sources. I want to reduce the lead time. The advantage is that I can order much faster than before, and stocks will be imported very quickly. The disadvantage is that you guys would need to pay the full amount even before you guys see the device, but just to fund my orders from US. Lemme know what you guys think in your replies. Thanks. could we pay say 50-60%, would that cover most of your funds? then the rest we do COD like previously promised? also even if we pay 50-60% (or full), you'd still only be able to get about 10 units at a time right? since you only have 1 US credit card, so it'll take 3 rounds to cover 30 pple in the list.

QUOTE(gin&tonic @ Jul 10 2012, 07:50 AM) Any idea what type of adaptor is suitable foe Nexus 7? i bought one of those that look like a multiplug that converts US -> our local pin size (the end point is a 3 pin plug). i think you can find those easily. Similar to this:

QUOTE(vicgray @ Jul 10 2012, 09:04 AM) 1 US credit card, but multiple stores at one go. Will ask my friend if he could call his credit company to up his limit. ah ok..how about the suggestion i mentioned? does 50-60% of the total price sounds good? I don't mind paying > 50% upfront, to be on the safe side and fair for everyone since initially it was decided for RM 50 only as deposit and the rest on COD, i think many chose your method of payment because it is much safer than the other sellers which insists on full payment (though there are some i believe going with 50-50 as well). In the end I think it's still your call, i would respect whichever way you prefer (even if it's 100%) - i'm just throwing out the options there

Absorbing in the memory of the texture and the slight chill of the screen. Then I turn it on. Then I woke up That's a hot dream! Lol. Did saliva dripped from your mouth as you woke up? Hahahahaha

QUOTE(juoin @ Jul 14 2012, 01:42 PM) I don't understand, if its pre-ordered from Play Store, wouldn't they deliver it straight to your house(or agreed upon location?). Unless your friend didn't order from Play Store but instead from Gamestop or some other retailer...? i dun think this will deliver to his house in malaysia...it probably goes to an address in US and then ship it from there to malaysia..so that obviously would take time bro...

QUOTE(vicgray @ Jul 18 2012, 11:53 PM) Well, guys. I have a good news for you guys, bad news for myself. Good news is, all 10 units I pre-ordered is shipped. Bad news for myself is, there is some hiccups throughout the entire order, and I am losing quite a lot of money because of my misjudgement. I have 2 choices: 1) return the device, and order again, and you guys have to wait for about 2-4 weeks again due to how US refund system works; 2) suck up the lost, honor my orders and ship it over asap. I chose option 2. sorry to hear about this bro, is this loss regarding the shipping? hopefully you can sort this out for the next batch and work out the final costs for us to pay. in any case, we're grateful for your help in bringing in the N7 for us.

QUOTE(vicgray @ Jul 19 2012, 07:18 AM) Final price should be out once we receive the stock and determine the shipping cost. I blame no one but some misjudgement from myself. Next batch it should be sorted out. I am unwilling to increase the price for first batch and then decrease the price for next batch to absorb the loss because this will be unfair to the first batch buyers. So rest assured that all batches final price remain same. Don't worry bro, i'm sure with more sales it'll cover the losses. I'll be sure to recommend my friends to buy from you

QUOTE(vicgray @ Jul 21 2012, 02:11 PM) I know I promised to ship the devices back with the package sealed, but I have changed my mine. I will do basic test of the device by turning it on to check for dead pixel, etc., before shipping it. i support this move bro, do check the following because asus products have been well known for these : - dead pixels - ghosting on the nexus 7 (http://tablet-news.com/2012/07/04/nexus-7-tablet-has-display-ghosting-issues-some-units-affected/) - light bleed (turn the brightness up to the max and look at a completely black background).
