I'm sure this will benefit a lot of people but for me tethering is still the way to go. Free and saves battery on my N7.

Yeah saves N7 battery but not my phones lol
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Always thought this was inevitable. Bet they've realized that they're missing out on sales to Samsung, because some want 3G or 4G built it, or can't tether due to their contract.
Happy tethering to my Arc, when I get another one of course.......... (Just have to carry around my spare battery lol)

I'm just wondering what price will jump to??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Ugh. This is good news and bad. Good news because I've always wanted a mobile connection. But bad because I already purchased this one!! Dammit. Guess this will be going on eBay soon.
I wish they would add a rear camera. Nexus 7 + rear camera + 3G would be a decent contender against ipad mini

Like all 3g/4g enable tablets, sales will be abysmal. Who in their right mind would sign up for a data contract on such a low price tablet and pay $30 a month?

I have a spare sim I can use but i see your point wouldn't be worth an expensive contract

Do you think the Nexus 7 would make a decent replacement for a phone?

I don't see it being a big seller. One of the biggest selling points is the price. Add another $150/200 and a data plan......big time deal breaker!!!

How so? It's not like I hold up the tablet to my head when I make calls. I just plug in my headset or Bluetooth. In fact people are amazed when they see me make calls on it. I get friends asking "you can make calls on that thing? " it's especially funny to see their face when I tell them it's free too (google voice + talkatone).

You would look stupid taking pictures on a tablet.

Nah.
I'm happy w/tethering from my phone. Saves battery, plus I never go over 5gb anyway. Besides, didn't Asus or Google sell the Nexus 7 at a lost? If so, then is this a way to recoup their loss?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I'm not so sure a 3g enabled N7 would have a phone function built in anyway.
In any case, even if I had the choice on release I would have still gone Wi-Fi.

So naive. I'm already using it as a softphone and it works fine. CsipSimple works better than any other softphone I've used. This includes ALL of the crappy Windows softphones.

The N7 is portable but its not that portable to use it as a phone lol. Can you really carry the thing around like a cellphone?!! Wow I give you props if you can. A cell is still a lot more convenient when making calls. I understand Google voice etc but I dunno if I could do it full time.

N7 or transformer tf101?

Which one of the two would better off? I still haven't decided which one I should get.

I have and like both. Feature wise, it's like comparing apples and oranges. You have to decide which features are more important to you.

Thanks for the feedback.
How about if in would like to write essays in it? For example.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Depends on screen size really and whether you want the dock. They are two really different tablets. You go to the tf101 forum and they will all say to go with that one.
If i was in that position I'd try to find a way to get the tf301. Best of both worlds then if you like the 10 inch size.
I'd keep away from tegra2
Gaming on that CPU is just a pure pain and its really old tech now ....
I have gtab 10.1 which I'm selling because its just to slow .... CPU on my galaxy nexus can handle more ....
Jellybean doesn't help either ....

I had a TF101 for a year and it was a good device but it was showing the signs of its age. I sold mine yesterday and picked up a Nexus 7 today and it kicks the crap out of the TF101. The Nexus is way easier to hold for extended periods of time and it's so much smaller. Not to mention the process for unlocking/rooting it so so much simpler, especially thanks to wug_fresh!

Getting the tf101. Thanks for your replies tho.
I'm sending a N7 for a tf101.
Hope that guy enjoys his tablet
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Yep, just like others, I sold my TF101 for the N7 and wouldn't ever look back. I love this powerful little seven inch tablet!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I also got rid of my TF101 for the N7. If your interested in the 10" form factor, I would consider the tf300. It can be had for relatively cheap and will be a much better device than the tf101.

Is it normal to not get earphones with Nexus phones? First smart phone I've ever ordered that didn't come with them.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I did not see any headphones listed. It has a standard port though so I am sure you must have some around.
sent via xda premium with nexus 7
a 299 smart phone with no contract has to cut corners somewhere.. I can deal with no headphones
The only phone I ever had (besides iPhone) that came with headphones was the GSIII and I only kept that for about a week.
I too can live without, but yes, it would be a nice addition

Anyone know if a nexus 7 2 will come out? Also do you think it will pack the tegra 4 that is rumoured?

You're aware that most people don't know how to use their phones right? An article that I recently read is a great example:
HTC researched user behavior to learn what it could benefit by changing. It learned that while lots of users have weather, music, or clock widgets configured to run on their phones, fewer than than 10% of other HTC users had anything else.
It also found that we’re just not very aware of widgets in the first place, with many users not thinking of them as any different from full-fledged apps, and we get awfully set in our ways – after the first month with a new phone, only 20% of users ever go back and really change-up their home screens.

I may not use everything my phone can do but I at least know that it's always there for me, most people still don't know that. For example, I was taking a panorama on my phone yesterday and my friend with an iPhone 5 claimed that it was a blatant copy from iOS. I find that people tend not to know features of their smartphones until Apple advertises them and they realist that their phones can do that too.
This has nothing to do with the Nexus 4/XDA.

If you haven't sold it yet, you could get around $50 for it at gamestop or radioshack (not sure if they exist in the UK)
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
I bet you can get better price selling online than going to a god awful place like gamestop and ratshack.
As for replacement, try amazon.co.uk.
If you wait a few months. U can sell all separately part on ebay....
Like motherboard, back cover, speakers, battery, screws,.... You may even cover your cost.

Because in a few months more nexus 7 will have dead battery and parts kaput, and you will get more demand for spare part.
now n7 is not even 12 months old...
and when 1 year warranty is expired.
everybody will look on line to get cheap spare parts....
