Could someone please clarify for me what the situation is regarding 3G Nexus 7 in ZA? Availability & Pricing?

How reliable are they?

 

[Park@82]

a couple of guys here used them, one had some problems with the shipping (late and they forgot the cover), the other collected and had no problems.

Any additional charges for delivery?

Which branch? The local store in Pietermaritzburg said only in several weeks..

Can anyone recommend a decent email app? The one that comes with it isn't particularly good.

Can you install Whatsapp using this setup?

Was on the online store over the weekend. The normal price is R3499

BUT I'm still waiting as they phoned me today to say the SABS are still checking if the Nexus 7 is acceptable to South African standards something to do with the power adapter

Not sure
Would be great tho

 

[Jola]

Don't think that you would be able to install WhatsApp, even on the 3G version, as you need to be able to receive SMS's.

It works on something like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7" (P6800), as that can also be used as a phone.

But I am waiting for my pre-ordered Nexus 7 32GB 3G, will check as soon as I get it.

When is the LTE version coming? Is there one?
