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

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

Rats, really want 3g but already bought

People like myself who are seriously considering using the nexus 7 as a phone. I might not get the next nexus phone if they come out with dated specs like they have done with the past two.

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.

New Play Store looks good.

I posted this in the Nexus 10 section also. The new Play Store looks pretty nice on the Nexus 10, Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus (I'm on Verizon.... The reason for the Galaxy Nexus and not a Nexus 4 )

Agreed! Just installed and I really like the softer colors.

Thanks for the find and post! Like the new layout
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

It's kinda nice, but it's awful at the same time too. The green color reminds me of Google Market from android 2.x era.
I do like the first page of each category better then before, where there were just banners and no text so you had to guess what it was.
Maybe it's preparing for KLP look? Are we getting back the Green? (nooooo, i like blue!)
Anyhow, thanks for sharing!

I installed think on my skyrocket this morning and was gonna wait for Google. But what the hell why not

I'ts awesome on my phone but awful on my tablet...i don't like the way Apps are presented...too much wasted space and too big.

Reminds me of the Web version of Google play

Any ideas?

Looks way better than the previous version. Much more user friendly and less cluttered.

Yeah, I got one: You're in the same boat as everyone outside of the continental United States, the new Play Store is currently only rolling out there.
So, until they roll it out worldwide, countries like Australia or the whole of Europe will just have the categories on the main screen.
Apart from that small "flaw" though it works perfectly, just bought an icon pack a few hours back on my phone, went without a hitch.

It looks even better blacked out

I was afraid of this. The new ble driver is in 4.3 that shows the meta data. Probably have to wait for that.

Agreed. The phone looks nice but I think the S4 is still better. I had a Nexus device once and it was ok. But the rom options are basically all variations of aosp/cm. It's nice having the option of TW as well.

Tri band lte and snap dragon 800. Sounds like a beast! This will be the best lte connectivity device. Its tempting.

The removable battery I could take or leave. I would've agreed with you about the SD card situation until recently, when I realized that I was using less than half of my card. I've also recently uploaded all of my music to Google Music, so my local storage needs are basically limited to photos and videos that I take with the phone. Even THAT isn't really a big deal anymore since it's all uploaded to Dropbox anyway.
Either way though, I'm willing to make the tradeoff at this point.

Good points all around.
I'm not up for an upgrade. It definitely is tempting. And I guess it would only be about $100 after selling the S4.
Just don't know if it's worth it. I can see where you're coming from after the issues you had yesterday.

Same in my store, this is worse than when I got the iPhone 5S and tried to unlock android phones with my fingerprint.

Hahahahaha I literally just did it with my Nexus 4 a few minutes ago. This phone is seriously messing with my head haha.
