Hi Guys,

I have a few question and also clarification regarding Google Nexus 7 before I go and buy one. For your information I'm only interested in 32GB so all questions are reffering to 32GB if I didn't state the size, here we go:

Clarification:
- The GN7 come with 2 data conectivities right? It's either 3G or Wifi, unlike iPad there's Wifi and Wifi + 3G.
- I kinda confused with GN7 spec, may I know how many spec do they have? Because from their spec page they never mention about Wifi version, and there are 4 mobile data version. ==
- From the GSM arena spec page, we can't make calls with GN7. But is there any patch that enable call function? Coz I saw some of the forummer here say they can send SMS with GN7.
- No external SD card memory? sad.gif

Question:
- Can GN7 read USB drive/external HDD? With it own cable of course, coz AFAIK Galaxy tab can do so.
- Can we connect GN7 with external USB keyboard/mouse? Again if I'm right Samsung tablet can do so.

Sorry if my question sound noob, never use Android before, in the process of migrating from iOS to Android tongue.gif

Hi, welcome here.

-Actually what N7 have is the same as ipad. Its either you buy a Nexus 7 32GB set or a Nexus 7 32GB Cellular (wifi+3G) Getting the 3G version doesn't mean you will not have wifi.
- For 32GB variant. You will see two models, one is 32GB wifi, another one is 32GB cellular (which means wifi+3G)
-Until now we still can't make call. Regarding sms im not sure. But yes few fellow users here claimed the N7 is able to send sms.
-Ya no external SD. But you can connect to external thumbdrive.
-Nexus 7 can read USB drive (but need to install 3rd party apps) If you need to edit files on your thumbdrive, root access is required.
-Yes it should be able to connecet to keyboard and mouse. But never uses one.

1# All tablet and Smartphone have WiFi... 3G is additional connectivity
2# Nexus7 it self cant make call/sms, u need to mod it... SMS is ready, phone call is WIP
3# No SD Card
4# Nexus7 can use USB Storage, u need special software. Samsung hv build-in filemanager and mounting s/w.
5# KB & Mouse confirm working

Hi,

Because u mentioned u are migrating from iOS, I hereby add one more interesting point (with the hope that u will migrate faster  rclxms.gif  laugh.gif )

I have also connected PS3 Wireless controller and it is natively recognized by GN7. So I've been playing many games and having a good time.

Next, maybe i should buy Sixaxis controller app and try to get the controller working wirelessly via Bluetooth..

Cheers bro..

Yeah that's what make me consider to migrate OS, phone still ok if lack of those connectivity, no point u connect external HDD/keyboard/mouse to phone and play around. But tablet different, they have bigger screen and I expect it to serve almost as a PC.

There's only one Nexus 7...

Google Nexus 7, manufactured by Asus. Google don't make hardware.

One piece of tablet consists of Hardware and Software.
Hardware: Asus
Software: Google

That's their relationship wink.gif

Anyone know roughly what's the price for Google Nexus 7 32GB 3G+Wifi in those Asus retail store?

I only know SenQ is selling for RM1099 for that spec, but that's it. How about others?

Thanks!

Recommended retail price. Buy from sellers in garage sales or Senq. They are reliable.

I see, thanks for the info.

My concern is actually warranty, I mean if something happen I can just send it to the shop. But the forummer selling here at a very tempting price, might be a good idea if buy from them tongue.gif

For me rear camera is not that useful, I can use my phone to take photo, scan QR code or whatever a rear camera can do.

But expandable memory really is something useful, I would say the device will be complete if it has expandable memory. But consider the price, I would say this is a trade off.
