i think most user will appreciate the thick side bezel.
try holding a tablet to read or watch something with a thin side bezel..  whistling.gif
if 7" n below might be ok for thin side bezel.

but.. why doesn't have cellular support..  cry.gif

rumor said samsung working on it, don't think google will forgot cellular support.
just like Nexus 7 first come with Wifi only and now HSPA+ support model also available.

convince your wife, nothing to beat nexus tongue.gif
vanilla UI, pure android experience are the best brows.gif
worth to wait.

QUOTE(mtxx @ Oct 30 2012, 12:57 PM)
thick frame is actually a good thing. makes it easier to grip.
imagine a boarderless tablet. no way you can hold it.


Added on October 30, 2012, 12:59 pm

i despise the phone UI on N7 at the begining.
but after awhile fount it to be more user friendly.

the 3 control buttons are easier to hit. compared to tablet UI cramped at the left side.
besides, having 1 UI for tablet and phone is not bad. similar to iOS.
less confusion.

QUOTE(andyjyneo @ Oct 30 2012, 01:06 PM)
Same thinking.
Especially when you put your tablet in a pouch. Very hard to use back button.
*
yeah, same though. no matter how's the stock on screen or softkeys come with, nexus user always in Flash Flash thumbup.gif custom rom rules nod.gif ton of developers or largest community in Nexus devices. I'm sure any kind of customization/combination modify afterward rclxms.gif

yeah.. but will there be a support for multi task (like Note 10.1) n stylus/S-Pen?
i dont mind if there is custom rom that can make multi task n support stylus/S-Pen.  brows.gif
*
not sure about Note 10.1 user, but all my friend who using Note phone never fully utilize the S-Pen, not practical for daily usage at all, according to them. Yes, some XDA folks have mentioned before, any device come with 2GB ram, are possible to make it multi task windows support. but I don't think so is ideally or perfect accuracy for S-Pen support, coz Note 10.1 hardware build is double digitizer screen.

QUOTE(SilverCrimz @ Oct 31 2012, 10:28 AM)
now im at a dilemma. contemplating between this and note 10.1. Spec wise definitely nexus 10 wins hands down but note has the S pen thingy and that multitask thing (which i know the nexus 10 can do with some changes). I guess the last thing to see is the price.
*
refer comment above, beside hardware spec we looking for when purchase, as long as nexus line of device then no worries. any software modify/porting are possible as nexus always have largest community or ton of developers ready. unless consider non-nexus device, the software update/features are only important during purchase, waiting for OTA after sales are pain.

Google PLAY pricing is $399 for 16GB, Malaysia Samsung usually slightly higher than that. let's see how is the official pricing.

is anyone already ask directd, when he will got stock?

QUOTE(EpsilonStar @ Nov 2 2012, 10:15 AM)
i have been waiting for the right tablet... and this one makes me very desperate.... but i still prefer to get SME set though for a peace of mind...
I guess no news when Samsung Malaysia will bring in right?
*
prepare more money for SME set, confirm higher than PLAY Store US399. no choice, if we need better warranty. you may go to Samsung Malaysia Facebook and post there to ask. maybe they answer you there?

share with us afterward tongue.gif

any news from Samsung Malaysia? like N4, LG Malaysia said will available before Christmas, how about SME Nexus 10?

fastest way: ap set (usually price much higher than original before launch) or import (no international warranty doh.gif )
safest way: SME, next year? only wifi version, don't think telco will subsidize until 3G version out.

thanks for sharing. then seem like not gonna happen in this year end. just saw someone bulk from google play in our garage sales, RM1399 for 16GB, then someone replied max should be only 1299 biggrin.gif

I think I opt for ap set if the price not too much.

1399 kind of good prices ..... love note features but way too expensive

that's right. still good price. only concern is, if you worries about warranty support and I dunno who is the person doing the bulk, the best is COD. let's wait for anymore other offer. let's share update if you guys found any.

iPad Mini, (BOM cost: $188) selling Price $329 (~RM1020); now SG selling from S$448 (~RM1,120)
Nexus 7, (BOM cost: $160) selling Price $199(~RM617); UK selling £199.99 (~RM979); when come to Malaysia, ASUS RRP = RM999

Nexus 10, selling Price $399; when come to Malaysia, Samsung RRP = RM?,??? (2k might possible if based on N7)
I don't think Samsung Malaysia can make it with cheaper ratio than Asus. for those too high expectation or aim for below 1.5k, sorry, please go away n buy other tablet and don't assume Nexus 10 is cheap material or simply technically say, but is current highest resolution display with high PPI and latest Exynos SoC (A15). not to surprise if the selling price slightly close to Note 10.1. those benchmarks and comparison is not 100% accurate and the negative reviews are bias. just like comparing same GPU in 2 PC, but 1 is running low resolution and another 1 is running high resolution. you know the result when gaming.

still complaint on pricing? don't waste forum bandwidth post, go and buy others.

is good move for google to start selling direct in PLAY store, as not easy to control retail selling. google need to expand the PLAY store world wide support. else, indirect selling or google marketing still far away to catch his competitor.

contact 1 of dealer here from our garage sales, he replied gonna bring in soon but no pricing yet. I'm thinking, get from newegg malaysia, I believe plus shipping still cheaper but have to sacrificed local warranty support. better than get direct from PLAY store, which is equal like no warranty when bring back. at least newegg malaysia gave 14days warranty, enough time to check DOA. within US warranty, they can handle ship back but we gonna bear all shipment cost.

But shipping cost might cost few hundred. . .
For me to ship a pair shoe to UK for exchange, it cost me rm 160 and that shoe only cost rm 360 shipped to Malaysia.  . .
*
you can do the math, USD$399 + shipping cost, compare when SME set available and pricing. ($499 for 32GB)
newegg malaysia charged RM85 me for 1 motherboard I bought. I assume Nexus 10 is around that size and weight.
