https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2965630/+20?hl=Nexus%207

selling 1199. ^^ last time i went there they were quite good.

Is it still US set or now selling Msia set? Sorry for outdated question. Haven't been following the news lately.

I love my nexus 7 2013

there, I said it

For those still undecided, just get it, no regrets
got mine last week at senq ioi (last unit) and touch wood, until now no problem

only got 1 major complaint...



from my wife bcos i'm playing with it for too many hours

As much as I enjoy playing with nexus 7 , I don't have much time to fully utilize the full HD screen. Looking to sell it off at a loss. Any takers ? Xd

I got mine from Boulevard Kuching, Sarawak. Went to few other outlets also out of stock. So I was lucky to get one. I really like the build quality of the tab, especially the back.

Anyone knows if you are on Maxis 3G data plan 3Gb quota, can we use the existing sim on Nexus 7 LTE or have to change to LTE compliant SIM? Any charges for changing LTE sim? I can't seem to find any info on Maxis FAQ.

N7 already land here in sarawak ka? bought mine from superbuy. still not arrived. damn la.

I found the answer here. Looks like you need new 4G/LTE supported sim card..

Good to share this info with everyone:

The more hours I spent with this nexus, the more I fall in love with it. Yes is a great tablet on earth. This LTE version rocks my Sim data plan perfectly as I need data to surf & ability to send SMS. Not want to make call. Perfectly fit my requirement....I'm a more happy & satisfied customer....

Only if you cannot detect LTE, then you will need to change. Else, you are not required to change as Maxis has registered many old SIM cards into LTE HLR.

I have problem with touch screen, if I'm not holding it. It has sensitivity issues. If its standing on a stand.. Some touch does not register ..

You can sms via telco or some 3rd party software?

Thanks for your feed-back. So it depends if your old sim is registered with LTE HLR? You will only know when you plug in your sim into nexus.. BTW, what's HLR?

Yes.
But if you can change, then change, no harm because that guarantees you are having LTE enabled SIM card.
HLR = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Location...ister_.28HLR.29
It is basically a hub that stores all the SIM cards' details and etc.

Well, I think it makes more sense for Maxis to register existing sim into HLR, rather than asking customer to change new sim. Just a thought!

Well, registering old SIMs into new HLR only happens in the recent few months, not sure if they have completed this exercise. Long time I didn't check this with my engineer colleagues.
I changed mine much much earlier when LTE was rolled out and immediately I got LTE while others had to wait for some time.
Being the usual kiasu me.

Changing a SIM is as easy as ABC these days, immediate activation.
Anyway, of course nothing beats the convenience of using back the old SIM. If you are in LTE area and cannot detect LTE (providing using LTE device) from your SIM, you have no choice but to change to a newer batch of SIM.

Good luck!

directd seems to be offering the best price so far. They have 0% interest-free plan as well, but the one-time processing fee is $95 (12 months) for the Nexus 7 32Gb LTE ($1188). Nexus 7 16Gb WIFI ($919)
