Am I the only one who thinks RM999 for the 16GB is reasonable? Take into account that ASUS does not get a discount (as Google is selling the tablet at a loss anyway). So USD250 is RM767.
Yes I think its reasonable, seeling that its Retail, hopefully there's one to one swap for the first 7/14 days.

One thing I was wondering is, starting tomorrow we will be able to purchase N7? How many retailers are there? You think got enough stock for all walk in customers?

Just bought two sets C90 from hotspot from lowyat plaza, the seller won't budge in the price even though I bought 2 units + 2 SGP SP (at rm99 each)!

Still a lot of stock there, I asked, the boxes you see on the shelf are empty. tongue.gif

I feel like supporting this shop, coz got total of 9 N7 units for testing, and a lot of stock too, the only shop i found to sell N7 screen protector as well.

Thanks to the forumers here, i did a quick test on the speaker > 40% and also the mic. Seemed to work well. Never bothered about the screen lift issue.

All the Test Units at the shop is also hooked up to WIFI + VPN, so you can actually see books, magazines, and movies from the test unit!

One question about the USD25.

I have read through:
http://www.shahz.net/android/25-dollars-go...outside-us.html

At what point can I register my google account? At the end of the steps? Coz I thought the apps I buy is tied to my google account, I should register my google account first before buying the apps?

It is clearly mention in his blog. Read it again. Just do it when you are prompted the second time after you have successfully connected through VPN
Of course you must register your present account again to buy apps. No account how to buy?
I have read the blog 3 times, it is not clearly mentioned in his blog, so I assumed it was the step when I was told to run Google Play.

Somehow the popup doesn't happen, maybe because I already have a credit card associated with my account?
what I did was go to a paid app, then there's one option to "Add card to get $25 credit", then I continued as in the blog.

select any app, pretent that you wanna buy, instead of choosing ur stored cc, choose the other option which is automatically states as 'Add another cc to redeem USD25' then follow the steps back from that blog, eg: US address and postcode and phone no.
*
Thanks! That's what I did, and I get the USD25.

I am running out of ideas what to buy, as I already bought most of the apps/games that i need.

If I buy a book/movie/magazine, would I still be able to use it without the VPN?

No need to be hurry in deciding what to buy.
Once you claimed the credit, you can spend it anytime before end of June 2013.
Ah I C, so the 30 september deadline is only for Claiming the credit, thanks!

Do you guys get charged USD/EUR 1 when claiming this? What I did was:
1. registered Visa card 1234 on N7 1
2. citibank send one sms saying I got charged USD1
3. I tried to register the SAME visa card on N7 2
4. N7 told me the card is already registered!
5. citibank send one sms saying that I got charged EUR1
6. registered Visa card 2345 on N7 2
7. citibank send sms saying that I got charged EUR1!!

So in the end, I spent USD1 + EUR2 to claim USD50....

1. About the slow charging, maybe this is the reason? -> https://plus.google.com/u/0/104711040110222...sts/XvJBUaofAdF

2. Do you guys have the launcher icon for Movies, and Books? Just realised they are gone, previously they were there, probably after I disconnect VPN they gets missing. I can get them back from Uninstalling the updates though.

3. Those of you who are using the book case, do you have problem where sometimes when the "flap" is behind the tablet, it will automatically dim the screen? I am thinking that the magnet is too powerful?

Careful when buying case from directd, got two book leather case from them for rm50 each, then realize that its defective because it shuts off the screen when I flip the cover to the back, complained to them but they say its normal and refuse to change for me.

most folio case out there now got this problem. You can fix it easily by placing a small metal plate behind the case at the lower left corner, about 1.5 inch from bottom and 0.5 inch from left (screen facing you)

Yeah I saw the youtube about putting metal plate, but where to get this metal plate? And how to put it so that it won't scratch my N7....

It is an open secret that many non USA based users has bypass Google limitation and manage to get the us$25. I find it strange Google allow this. It is impossible they are not aware of such a stunt
I would think k they have purposely allow such practice N now decided to pull the plug off such faked users
For those users who have successfully got the us$25 and spend all of it, it was indeed a free gift from Google
My experience was seamlessly smooth, thanks to forumer yolk well written guide. Now only left us0.13

Somehow I feel they are well aware, and their purpose seems straightforward, just to get people to get used to spending money to buying things on Google Play, I would think there will be a lot of people, who originally do not spend money on Google Play, will start to spend money on Google Play after finishing this USD25.

yesterday tried to buy something using Google Wallet on my wife's and my N7, after reading about accounts being on hold. Both of our Google Wallet can still be used, is it maybe because I never change the credit card postcode and phone number back to the Malaysia one yet? It is still the US one that is in the instructions list. Scared to change it back now.

dunno whether i'm a slowpoke or not..yesterday i just found out that we actually can upload 20000 songs to Google Music for free..i thought it still available in US only..
But to buy songs from Google Play still cannot smile.gif

Yeah, have been using it for a while now, just need to use the Tor trick to enable it.

If you have VPN, you can connect to VPN, buy songs, then disconnect, the song will still be there.
