Got mine from pixel deals. His free shijppng is indeed next day.

With rgard to quality, no multi touch issues that I've noticed, but open YouTube or the camera and the tablet locks and up and resets. Woop. Slightly regret not buyinjgit from JL, their return service is second to none. I need to go take my chances with Asus support.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] javielillo:
Incredible, in the Spanish Google Play you only can buy the WIFI versions but in other shops (for example FNAC online) you can buy the LTE :(

I hope that the site is being updated...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] straxusii:
In the UK google play store now from £199, very disappointed in google they have jacked the relative price up from the converted USD rate unlike the first N7
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] browngeek:
Well its pretty damn close. The GBP price is with VAT of 20%. The price quoted in the USA is from US$229 and that is the pre-tax price. US$229 is around GBP 150. The pre VAT price in the UK is GBP 160, so its only roughly GBP 10 more expensive in the UK before tax.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] straxusii:
Sort of, if you convert the usd price and add vat you get £177, do the same to the original N1 and it comes very close to the google play store price for it. It's only £20 so not the end of the world, just a shame Google decided to add a UK shaft tax to this one when they didn't the original N7
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] catlog:
I expected it to be cheaper than that too but at £199, it's still a steal. :p
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] 12ian34:
OK it's 8:15, time to have a shower and get moving! It reminds me of the couple of times I went at midnight to get the latest PES or CoD!

JL have opened their online ordering for both Wi-Fi models, either "click and collect" or 5 day delivery. It is curious that they didn't open this earlier!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] browngeek:
Maybe its a currency fluctuation thing?

Mind you, we are getting grey good 32GB Nexus 7's (2013 model) in Hong Kong for around HK$2,300 (about US$296 or GBP191).

Just picked up my N7 32GB LTE in Germany.

They had only a few available for the people that pre ordered. Will unpack it once I'm back in the Netherlands!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cpam:
Just bought the 32gb from pcworld canary wharf, got £50 of my next purchase plus £10 voucher for their move service :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] 12ian34:
I called up just before I left and they said only Waitrose Canary Wharf or Peter Jones Sloane Square had stock. Not sure why their flagship Oxford Street store didn't have stock

Whoa! Just got mine from Tesco 5 seconds ago..

Ordered mine from PC World in July, got text from DPD couriers to say they are delivering tomorrow, 29/08/13. Cool :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Super Chimp:
I already have a tablet contract with plenty of data so that's why I want the mobile version.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] chistery:
O2 in the UK will launch 4G tomorrow and have an exclusive deal with the Nexus 7 LTE, though I don't know how long they will remain exclusive
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TheWerewolf:
Could any lucky soul in the EU who gets their hands on a Nexus 7 2013 LTE check two things?

1. Does it allow for tethering of the LTE connection to other devices?

(No.. I know there are hacks to make this work - I would like to know if the feature is actually included in the OS as it is with other devices, and can you turn it on and it works?)

2. Can it be used as a cell phone

(No - not VoIP - I know you can do VoIP over LTE if the carrier permits it)?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jak3z:
What store had it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tehSmoogs:
Ordered from O2 this morning :-

Delivery expected 13th Sep
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jak3z:
Mine should arrive 2nd Sept, but I ordered it from a shop not from an mobile operator.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wis38:
Just received mine today in France from FNAC, preordered mid August.

Hardware has been built in July, no dead pixels, dust under the screen, light bleeds.

Tablet got instantly Q firmware update (sorry, I'be not checked original firmware version) and touchscreen works like a charm (I'm writing this post with the nexus).

GPS got a fix on 12 SATs in 3 secs, but had no time to check for stability.

No random reboots so far, only Google play crashed one time.

Personally I am satisfied.

BTW, price paid for 32GB version is 256€, included shipping.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] adamw:
Mine was delivered today by tesco. Unfortunately I'm not in, but it was left with a neighbour. Great service considering free delivery and not expected until the 2nd.

Now just can't wait for my holiday to be over so I can get my hands on it :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] poisike:
I just bought the European 4G version from local shop (still can't believe it is available here, usually we get Nexus products at least half a year later).

It has 08.2013 marked on box and it's running JSS15J build out of the box. I have not noticed any problems with touchscreen (yet).

Just for information, I had touchscreen problems on the WiFi only version I imported from US. On JSS15J I had touch problems but build JSS15Q fixed the problems for me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dasmanul:
Can't tell you whether it works as I don't have a SIM card yet, but the options for tethering (via USB, WiFi, or Bluetooth) are there in the system settings.

No.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] poisike:
1. Yes, I just tried to create a wifi hotspot and it works. There are also options for USB and Bluetooth tethering.

2. No, there is no phone app.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] KidCarter93:
I spoke to a Carphone Warehouse agent here in the UK earlier and was told "I think we'll have them in stock in about 2 weeks" but he couldn't confirm it either way.

Hopefully he's right about that but I have my doubts.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
I think that sounds about right. I don't think Google are stupid enough to put it off for too long in the UK, people would just get fed up and buy other tablets, and Europe is a huge market
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] andAsh:
Yes, it says "ships within 3 to 4 weeks", are they out of stock already?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] FTMDan:
I really want one but wasn't expecting the 32GB version to be £239 :( I was expecting somewhere between £199 and £219 at the most?

Debating whether to get one or not haha.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Bronto9:
In Italy Asus confirmed me that it will arrive in shops during the first half of september. It can also be found on asusstore.it, an authorized reseller
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] KidCarter93:
Hopefully it proves to be right anyway. I didn't end up getting the first N7 until December last year so I don't wanna be so late getting this one :D

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] daleski75:
Really hoping we don't have to wait until the middle of september to buy one just waiting on a concrete announcement date from google as ebuyer state they are expecting stock by the end of august which is 2 weeks before anyone else.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] catlog:
I sure hope we don't run into stock issues in the UK like we did with the first Nexus 7 and Nexus 4. I'll be placing an order on Ebuyer very soon, when my pocket is ready.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] charlesky:
This has put me off upgrading. The original N7 was priced comparably with the US: ($199/1.54)*1.2[VAT] = £155, which is close to the £159 they were charging. But the new Nexus 7 is a rip-off: ($229/1.54)*1.2 = £178, but we're getting charged a full £20 (11%) more.

They need to chop £20 off the price before I consider it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] BoneXDA:
Euro crowd got it even worse, the $200 N7 costs €200, the $400 N10 €400 tax included. Looks like Asus is out to make a profit this time. Still a good deal.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Roscobigfoot:
Shouldn't be that much. Import tax is only valid for more expensive items. Should add up to around £180ish for the 16GB really

From HM Revenue & Customs:

"Other goods including perfume and souvenirs

You can bring in other goods worth up to £390 without having to pay tax and/or duty.

If you arrive by private plane or private boat for pleasure purposes, you can only bring in other goods worth up to £270 tax and duty free.

If you bring in any single item worth more than your allowance, you must pay duty and/or tax on the full item value, not just the value above the allowance. You also cannot group individual allowances together to bring in an item worth more than the limit."

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/customs/arriving/arrivingnoneu.htm
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
There's a calculator on HMRC website (I think) and when doing it, it adds 20% VAT
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Roscobigfoot:
Hmm, it really shouldn't be adding that 20%. They clearly just want extra money for no reason lol
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
I think all electronics being imported, over £20, have 20% VAT added
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] MobileBritain:
Correct it you will need to pay VAT at 20%.

So for a Nexus 7 (2013) 16 GB you would end up paying:

$199 for the Nexus 7

$30 for handling and shipping (estimate based on various shipping handlers costs)

$229 Sub Total

Convert to UK pounds (using Google rate of $15.257)

£150 (yes you will have to pay VAT on the total cost including shipping etc.)

Add 20% VAT

£30

£180 Total

If you assume that Google can manage currency exchange at better rates than an individual can and that shipping will be vastly cheaper due to it being sent by the container load, then £199 or £200 is not a fair price for the UK.

My Nexus 7 just arrived in the UK form TigerDirect in the US (ordered Monday). It cost 221 UK pounds plus a customs charge of 46.75 pounds. Ouch!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] straxusii:
How many dead pixels has it got? :laugh:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] charlesky:
What irks me is that (in the UK at least) the 2012 Nexus7 was priced very close to the US+VAT. Twelve months later and they've decided to slap on an extra 10%.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] straxusii:
I would say at the moment we don't really know what the pricing will be for sure, most vendors tended to be higher priced than google play store on the old nexus so I would wait to see what it ends up being. Having said that I was disappointed in Google when I saw the initial pre-orders at £200 and not the £180 it should be.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] neilka:
Have any importers found any cases available in the UK yet?

Edit: Amazon UK item B00E0L43VM is in stock, going to give it a go
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] croques:
Ne'er a one, Sir.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] MrPhilo:
Disappointed? £199.99 (16gb) and £239.99 (32gb) is a fair price for the Nexus 7 2013, your not gonna find anything cheaper or better for that price. The price is already subsidized as it gets.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] straxusii:
Sure - I'm not disappointed at what you get for £200 in the Nexus 7 v2, I'm disappointed that the v1 was roughly USD price plus VAT and the v2 is somehow USD price plus VAT plus a gouging tax.

At the end of the day it's only £20 so I'm not going to lose any sleep over it and as I said above google play prices haven't been seen yet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Beaverman20:
The thing i never get when people compare prices like this is how little you must have to consider it. "It has to be a 1:1 ratio" No, it does not. People from different countries have a different amount of disposable income. If google tried to market this in africa it should probably cost 20 bucks to actually sell. Should the EU and US version therefore cost 20 bucks for it to be fair? Hardly.

There's so much stuff to consider when adjusting the price for goods, who knows. they stores in EU might take a higher price for selling it. Please stop assuming that it should be the same price everywhere.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] straxusii:
It's very natural to hope the pricing ratio will be the same as the v1 of the same product from the same company in the same country, if that view somehow baffles you then I guess good luck :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] gbroon:
I had thought maybe it was a difference due to Asus pricing it based on the Taiwan dollar but when I worked out US to Taiwan to UK the difference was a couple of pence. I guess its all down that masssive corporation tax Google pay in the UK or shipping cost differences.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TheWerewolf:
That sounds reasonable except we live in a world where everyone has access to information about the marketing of a product in many countries, and in theory, access to a 'global economy'. In reality, corporations have always tried to create artificial markets by boxing in regions (this is why videogames, DVDs and BRs have regions - to prevent people from buying the product at whatever fairmarket price they can get).

In Canada, for example, many large companies like Samsung have a Canadian and an American branch. Each one chooses which products to carry in their respective country - and then enter into a 'non-competition' agreement with each other, prohibiting their resellers from selling into the other's country. This creates an artificial inequity and allows Samsung Canada to charge a lot more for the same product - even though the average Canadian income isn't that different from the average American's - while offering a vastly smaller range of products. I use Samsung as an example - almost all US companies do this. In fact, it's so bad and so insanely run that a company like Tiger Direct has a Canadian rep (Tiget Direct Canada) but no UK version. Canadians can't buy from Tiger Direct US and so get higher prices and a vastly smaller range of choices - but Britons CAN shop the US store.

In the EU, this practice is illegal. Apple got slapped for doing it. A company is completely entitled to charge what they want on a country by country basis - but is prohibited from blocking any EU citizen from buying AT those prices. So if Apple sold an iPad in France for 400 Euros and in Germany for 350 Euros, the French could legally order it from Germany at the lower price.

That's actually how a freemarket is supposed to work. Practices such as the ones I describe in the US try to distort the market by erecting artificial trade barriers.

One last comment - as a consumer - your concern shouldn't be for the producers of a product - but for the rights of a consumer to have the maximum access to products everywhere at the lowest price you consider reasonable. That's how you maximize YOUR profits, which is the amount you can buy for the money you have. If you're worrying about the corporations, you're on the wrong side.

I've had tuesday as well, i've phoned them up to confirm if the order went through, order was on hold due to security( by mistake i created two accounts) and he released it and send me a order confirmation right away with monday delivery... wasn't planning to buy the 4G but for extra few pounds i dont mind lol. Let me know if something change on yours and i'll do the same

Anybody heard of eGlobal Digital Store?

I've never come across them before. They are selling the 32Gb model for £229.99 and the web site states that it is currently in stock which I find hard to believe as the bigger stores are still awaiting delivery later this month.

As a store that I've never heard of before I'm not inclined to risk my money for £10 off without proof that they are genuine and have stock at this time!

They are Hong Kong sellers or grey market sellers.

They can be trusted as it reviews are pretty darn high. I won't be surprised if they had it in stock before. I got a Galaxy S4 i9500 from Revo Digital which is another Grey Market company in Hong Kong with similar reviews.

I'll be contacting them on Monday and if they do have them in stock I'll be ordering one of them and will post an update when I receive it.

Seen the 16gb version for sale on eBay for 199, free postage from a UK seller. Looks legit, but there's always a risk with eBay.

Can't post a link, but eBay username is pixel_deals. Anyone tried this? 199 is supposed to be the price when it's officially available here.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] MrPhilo:
They are legit. I bought my Nexus 10 from them like 4 month ago for £299.99, was a refurb though.

Only if they had a 32gb in stock... Guess 32gb is more wanted than the 16gb thats how they got it in stock im guessing.

Anyways I have purchased a Nexus 7 2013 from eGlobal Digital Store.

I applied a £5 discount (£225 in total). I will post more update soon.
