Google Nexus 7 2nd generation

[TiOnGSquare]

Google: Nexus 7
Networks-Optional 4G LTE
North America:
4G LTE: 700/750/850/1700/1900/2100 MHZ (Bands: 1/2/4/5/13/17)
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/2100/AWS MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8/10)
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Europe:
4G LTE: 800/850/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 MHz (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/20)
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/2100/AWS MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8/10)
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Wikipedia: List of LTE networks
Operator Country Frequency(MHz) Band
M1 Singapore 1800 3
M1 Singapore 2600 7
SingTel Singapore 1800 3
SingTel Singapore 2600 7
StarHub Singapore 1800 3

Singapore LTE networks use bands 3 and 7; buying a 4G Nexus 7 from the US would mean you can't use LTE here (3G HSDPA will work fine however...).

i intend to get about 2 or 3
thru amazon-> expedited international if fail
then no choice use forwarding borderlinx (DHL) thru amazon expedited all the way
i have no trust in third party forwarding already
freaking vpost charges me $26 in a recent purchase and tell me to wait 1-2 week WTF???
DHL cost me flat $15 usd 3-5days
i wont be profitting but will collect at my place, in BT ;x

Most likely VAT is included, which will increase the cost. And there are also forwarders in UK, so procedure is very similar to US

I think most likely is Asus will not allow international shipping for Amazon, cause this will hurt Asus Singapore sales.

On a side note, can viber work for nexus 7 with those earpiece with mic?

Hurt what "sales" ?

Usually by the time it reaches Singapore shores, the interest would have already cooled. The early adopters would have gotten theirs and the people who in the market will be looking at the newly release models.

Not to mention, the distributor "tax" for local warranty units

Yes and no lar. I've shipped a Logitech Harmony universal remote control via Amazon GlobalSaver before. No problem. Case by case basis. I just checked the current-gen N7, it's listed as "Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S.". So likely the new N7 will adopt the same policy.

maybe i need to clarify..from i know...electronics that shipped with a socket cannot be shipped directly...those battery operated electronics (remote, game controllers, etc) of course no problem..

New Nexus 7 listed for pre-order in the UK, release slated for mid-September | Android Central

Prices to start at £199.99 for 16GB, £239.99 for 32GB

The new Nexus 7 tablet might be hitting the U.S. before the end of July, but consumers in the UK could be in for a substantially longer wait if one major retailer is to be believed. Currys and PC World, both parts of the Dixons group, are listing the 16 and 32-gigabyte versions of the tablet for pre-order, priced at £199.99 and £239.99 respectively. But the tablets are listed with an availability date of Sep. 13, some six weeks after the U.S. launch.

While pre-order dates are subject to change, Currys and PC World were retail launch partners for the 2012 Nexus 7, so there's a good chance they aren't just pulling this date out of thin air. There's also no sign of the European 4G Nexus 7, so UK buyers wanting to take advantage of LTE data on the new tablet could be in for an even longer wait.

We've heard nothing specific about international availability from Google, and at yesterday's launch event the company told attendees that other countries would be getting the tablet "in the coming weeks." The UK was named as one of the first wave of countries to get the new tablet following the U.S. launch, along with Germany, South Korea, Japan, Spain, Canada, France and Australia.

Meanwhile the UK Google Play Store continues to list last year's Nexus 7, with prices starting at £159 for 16GB + Wifi.

Dont get from UK, SGD/UK conversion rates are against us.
the best bet for folks now is to wait for amazon pre order, forward to comgateway or any other forwarder if amazon don allow international shipping, its true that its case by case, im ordered a few electronics from amazon, harmankardon soundsticks 3, HP 27" LED etc so fingers crossed, for now.

How is it against us when a few year ago it was 1:3?

 

[kEvinErd]

Any words on the warranty? Is it international warranty again? Haha
