Have purchased a Nexus 7 32GB 3G through a relative in US. Bought online and delivered to New York. Has been delivered and now sitting there at my relative's place in New York. Happy and sad. Happy cos' managed to get one unit and safely delivered Sad cos' my relative only coming back in another 3 weeks time!  LOL

However, not very cheap because of the tax in New York State. It is a whopping USD27.78. Shipping charges to New York is another USD13.99 (according to UPS tracking, it delivered from Louisville, Kentucky, then to Newark New Jersey then to New York - 2 day shipping). All in cost me USD340.77, about RM1043 (at exchange rate of 3.06) or about RM1056 (if rate is 3.1). The state tax really kills. There are some states where there are no tax or cheaper rate of tax. Too bad mine was New York in this instance. But I can't complain too much, otherwise dunno wait until when only see the 3G model.

So if you are looking at the 32GB Wifi only model, faster grab from Newegg. Cheap. Too bad Newegg not offering the 3G model yet. But if you are aiming for that, faster grab from Newegg once they offer. (USD299 x 3.1) + RM49 = RM975.90 only. This is assuming no SIRIM charges. If kena SIRIM charges, add another RM100 = RM1075.90. Still ok. Not sure at all whether will kena Sirim or not, in any event.

But I seriously wonder how does Newegg make money...? And how come they can't offer the 3G model when it is readily available from Google Play?

Seriously, this is what I don't understand. And for some reason, even in the US, you can only get it from Google Play. No third party retail shops are selling (officially, at least). The only reason I can think of is maybe they may be planning a sort of exclusivity period for AT&T and T-Mobile to sell without contract as well later. So, at first, Google Play only. Then Google Play, AT&T and T-Mob only. Then everyone else.

very very very tempting.... 

RM771.90?  No need to pay for shipping?  Just now K5WHITE was saying RM816, now even lower? 

Edit: Btw, does the N7 support OTG - connecting to USB drive via the microUSB connection like Note II and SIII?

haha... Tab 7.7 still awesome.  The poor speaker cannot be compensated by a good headphone?  Or the audio chip itself is bad?

Seriously hard to get used to the lack of physical home button. Are all Samsung phone users feeling the same? Really need time to get used to those tiny tiny icons which are usually in words like the clear in notification bar.

Surprisingly, newegg just send email saying that they shipped my 32gb nexus 7. They gave me a tracking number but did not mentioned which delivery company they were using. So, anybody who got their item from newegg by delivery, what company that they used?

Airpak, not Poslaju

I never thought I would be saying this but it's tiring to hold it constantly with one palm.

Erm... In fact... Holding Galaxy Nexus (4.65"), 137g (I think) is also tiring. Actually it's not the weight that matter but is the 'pose'. You can do that repetitively with ease (take up put down take up put down) but not keeping same 'pose' for long time. Time to train your finger muscle
