this nexus 7 looks tempting... i oledi have a tf300 10inch tablet but i found it it is pretty useless cos too big/heavy for ebook, gaming, online while holding it, so i am looking at a 7-8inch tablet for quite sometime, this nexus 7 is gooding, altho no snapdragon 800 but quite powerful edi.. but now came out thie xperia z ultra, 6.4inch phablet which is like all in one kind of device.. now my phone is s4, very tempted to change.. so dilemma now.. is it better to have a all-in-one phone for my usage or get a separate device? i scare i buy nexus 7 later put there gather dust like my tf300.. i only bring it to offshore but only use to watch movie, cos read book too heavy very hard, gaming also susah..

If you have all the $$ in the world, by all means just get all of them and see your pattern of usage (then maybe sell the one that is underutilized) but unfortunately beggars like me can't choose |

Err... Brothers and sisters, to those who actually wonder if the US LTE actually works here, the answer should be yes. It's just the same as how the iPhones and iPads work here, because they all use band 3 as well.
The US Nexus 7 covers band 3 which is compatible with both Maxis and Celcom but not Digi at the moment. That being said, if you're planning to go for the EU version, you're getting 1 more supported band here in Malaysia. So if you're using Digi, there are 2 options, 1 wait for the EU or local set, 2 get the US set and wait for Digi to introduce band 3 or maybe switch telco. I'm pretty sure Digi will try to cover band 3 as well cause the Apple folks need it. =D |

Everyone is taking advantage of this Nexus 7 craze. Not so cheap anymore.
You can add a bit more for better hardware... Unless you are one of those plain lovers. |

Well, its going to be more expensive because its from newegg, and not neweggbusiness. There's a 6% tax if buying from Newegg.gogo2 must be pissed at Newegg https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2844683/+380 Update: saw the 16GB listed on neweggbusiness, hmmm.... Shark mode on har?
