Is there anywhere other than the Play store to pick up a Nexus 7 3G? Shipping charges are a bit of a killer... I thought Three were getting them?

Hey,

Does anyone know the answer to this please?

Cheers,

Su

The Play Store is the only place for now. Might be an idea to contact Carphone Warehouse and see if they'll be stocking them. It's possible but can't say for sure.

32GB now £179!

Might be a good idea to state where is selling them at this price!

I just started following the nexus 7 when popping into HMV to kill time. Quick question.
Why don't you buy the non 3g version, OTG and a dongle. Would it not work out cheaper. Sure it might look ugly.

Can this be done? Do you have to install an app from the dongle or anything?

I found this online

Further to your recent reply to a query about connecting USB devices to a Nexus 7 Android tablet, does it work with 3G dongles?
Michael Dalton, by email
Yes-ish... Some 3G dongles can be persuaded to work on Android devices using a free app from Google Play called PPP Widget but it’s a bit hit and miss. If you have a smartphone it’s probably easier to connect or ‘tether’ it to your tablet, or use a mobile wireless hotspot app.

I understand that 'Three' do now have them, but personally I would rather purchase a SIM free one.

What are the chances that they will be available from other outlets within the next two or three weeks? ... preferably before Christmas of course!

Hi

Over in the US at the moment, if I buy one of these can I just charge it off my laptop?

No sign of the OTA this morning.

Yes

... but it will take longer than doing it through the 'mains'.

Received 4.2.1 yesterday evening, 1.1mb. No issues (but 4.2 was fine for me anyway).

The missus bought me a dodocase for my birthday...

It's well posh

How is the Nexus held in ?

Gaffa tape mate.

What... you don't actually have to stick something on to the back of your lovely new Nexus 7, surely?

 

[dymetrie]

Residue free tape strips.

Allegedly it won't make a mess of the Nexus and can be reinvigorated with a wipe with a damp cloth...
