User Review: Google Nexus 7

Got it a few days back. Good device. Smooth interface. Bit disappointed with the lack of tablet specific apps in the play store as opposed to Apple.

it is still large enough to add enough bulge outside the borders.

these are the pen drives i am talking about!

so we are talking about having something that would have to accommodate a nano sim in addition to an antenna in addition to the hardware.

bought a cover for this. cost me ~10-12$ (forgot, it was 1 month ago) from ebay. good replica of the ipad smart cover thingie. the tablet sleeps and wakes automatically on closing and opening the case, and the top folds nicely to create a stand.

GSM - ZTE MF190 unlocked with rcom.
I've tested it with the Huawei E1732 GSM and another ZTE reliance CDMA dongle; all of them worked flawlessly. The widget takes care of the drivers it seems. From what I've read, most zte/huawei dongles work fine, and the ones that don't require you to disable the SD card functionality.

@manu

That via global easy buy ?

Around 10 days after being shipped.

Installed CM10. Since its 4.1.2, the PPP widget works perfectly, tricks the tablet into believing wifi is switched on. Play Store included.

Costed 390 Rs. after discount.

Donno why!
This case should work with that tablet as well, it has hooks/ledges on the top part so it can accept tablets of different sizes as well. I don't think it is specifically made for the nexus 7. As long as it is smaller than the top part.
