Not sure if this has been asked yet, I had a quick search and couldn't find anything.
In the UK the 3g/4g is being sold exclusively from the O2 website and stores and isn't on the google play website:
http://news.o2.co.uk/?press-release...o-o2&cm_mmc=affiliate-_-47868-_-blank-_-blank
I want the 3/4G version of the tablet, but I don't intend on using an o2 Sim card in it and I am want to know if its going to be sold with a simlock enabled?
Thanks,
Mark.
Hi Mark,
I asked o2 sales via their online chat..
me: "do you know if it is sim locked to the o2 network? or does it come sim unlocked?"
o2 rep: "It will be unlocked"
I get the impression that nexus devices are always unlocked.... the Nexus 7 2012 3g was unlocked from what I understand..
Cheers

I was also under the impression that all nexus devices were meant to be unlocked but I know how phone providers get with their exclusive deals.
Just pre ordered one this morning.
Thanks
Is the LTE version going to be sold at other places after launch?
Also pre-ordered at the weekend. The device is really desirable to me, esp with the premium case thrown in. Let's hope the sales chap knows his stuff! Worst case scenario we can ring them up and say "unlock code or refund, your choice" ;0)
I get the impression it will eventaully be available from other retailers including the google play store. Assume there will be a wait whilst o2 enjoy their exclusive..

I am mainly purchasing to get a tablet with mobile data, I already have a 2012 Nexus which I am more than happy with. I just want more connectivity.
I don't know how long the o2 exclusive is going to last for, hopefully not to long I'm not really a fan of providers getting device exclusives.
as soon as it arrives im gonna stick my 3 sim in it, hopefully it is unlocked, if not I will argue very loudly
Mine got delivered today and I can confirm it is UNLOCKED
Did anyone get the promised Free Nexus 7 Case? Mine came without it. But the order status is still shows In Progress.
Mine Was missing the case to, its mentioned on the dispatch note with "quantity 0" next to it.
My original order had an estimate delivery date of 13th, so I'm hoping it will arrive tomorrow, if not I will call them and see what they say

Picked my nexus 2013 4g/lte up from the mail depot last night, and yes, its UNLOCKED as promised

:laugh:
. I have tried both 3UK and the supplied o2 sim card, all good. I had to call o2 customer services to get the 2GB free data setup as this was not working via the supplied url, I also asked about the case, no estimated delivery date on that one yet...
Initial thoughts on the tablet- really nice!!! Compact, light, super screen, super fast - quadrant score of 5367!

It is a bit unfortunate as it is not very convenient to carry N7 around without a case
After a few conversations with O2 customer service they just suggested that I should buy a case from O2 shop and they will charge back the cost to my account. Unfortunately all O2 shops around my work are so busy during lunch time (which is quite understandable given that they have only 1 or 2 shop assistants there) and theer is no shop around my house. It is so annoying. They can send it by post by I have either call them and ask to waive a fast delivery charge or wait for another few days.
I contacted customer service yesterday, I was told there is a stock shortage of cases which will be resolved on Monday next week and they will be dispatched after that

I have had three 'chats' with O2 about activating the 2GB of data, but they're claiming the tablet I pre-ordered did not come with the free data. I don't even know if it was possible to preorder the Nexus 7 through their website without the 2GB deal.
Inspired by your success, I will continue!
Got my case through the post today, its the Asus Premium Cover
Feels nice but I dont like how the front goes on the screen, if you hold the tablet screen down the front will flap around leaving the screen exposed
The main reason I want a case is to protect the screen whilst in a bag so I'm not sure how useful this case is gonna be
Also , it doesn't seem to have a magnet to put the screen in sleep mode when closed

Mine has come too. I noted that the blue cardboard box had already been opened, one of the seals was broken. I wonder whether these are returns due to the issues some people seem to have experienced with the case not fitting the WiFi version properly? I agree it's not a very brilliant case, I certainly wouldn't pay the RRP for it! If this is the 'premium' cover, I dread to think what the normal one must be like.
I shall stick to my £2.69 S-line protector...
Just pre ordered one this morning.
Chatted with the O2 CS yesterday and they told me that they are low on stock and have no idea when the case could be available for me. I wonder if I should ask them to charge back the cost and buy a case myself.

That has to be your decision! But they are correct to describe this as a 'cover' rather than a case. It's really just an opaque screen protector, though you can use it to stand the device upright when it's open...
Anybody seen them somewhere? been searching but had no luck! bought LTE version from Germany!
No luck here in greece as well. Kinda annoying.

I couldn't find the Book Cover anywhere in the UK and a fellow XDA member said to call up samsung store. So I called up a Samsung Store and they happily delivered it to me. So try calling a Samsung stire in your respective countries or try the UK store and ask if they would deliver in EU - Personally I think the Book Cover is well built and also you are certian it wont damage the devices screen unlike nearly all other 3rd party cases.

I'll get one if I can find one
Thank you.
Thanks! I have been looking for this. All the posts about them link to US only sites!
Got mine a few hours ago, charges with my dbrand and cruzerlite case on! and yep it was 29.99$ (tagged at 69.99, but I told the rep to check the price, and it scanned at 29.99)
Too bad all the stores in my area were sold out last Friday.
Thanks! I was able to pick one in Winnipeg, lots left at St.Vital for those who live here.
I live in italy they don't have an online store?
Deal no more :'(
I just spoke to a really helpful guy at wireless wave and as of last night, they've been officially instructed by Nokia that they aren't allowed to sell them anymore. DAMN. Probably the same situation with t-booth.

They should have sent you an email and instructions on how to verify your purchase. A couple security questions.

I ordered mine from Clove on Sunday, February 16. I then got the email about the document they needed for security. I replied immediately. When I woke up on Monday, I had two emails from them saying that the order was completed and another one with the shipping information. I chose the more expensive shipping option from DHL and am able to track every single step of the transit.

Has anyone shipped one out to Canada from Clove? Debating ordering today!!
I ordered mine on Sunday evening 2.16.14 from Clove.UK, they asked for verification in email, I replied right away and got my Z1C today 2.19.14 at noon in USA with DHL. Great service.
No additional custom fees or anything, just the price I paid on Clove web site.

I preordered two from Clove back in Jan. My items shipped on Feb 4th and received both device in one package on Feb 7th. Clove and Handtec are very high reputable companies. Ive been using Clove for over 10 years and Hantec for about 5. No issues whatsoever.
Do handtec need the same verification as clove?
Im on the ping pong game with the authorization code with citi bank and clove.
the thing is, handtec says they will not charge me until it ships, while clove already charged my account and did not shop it yet .. they still require the check.
Clove is running a special that includes the DK32 dock free with purchase of the Z1 Compact. Got me to bite.

Wouldn't mind knowing myself, took a punt on the LG Watch R at the weekend, which is nice but would prefer the Zen. I have it preordered at Expansys at the moment, got in while they were taking orders rather than just the register interest page they have up now.
I had some interest in LG G Watch R because of the circular display but I think the watch is a bit too chunky. Will have a look at expansys

I'm currently using the LG Watch R and had the same thoughts as you, but it's not as bad as I imagined it would be. However I still have my preorder with Expansys and will decide on which one I want to keep once it arrives. Hopefully soon!
Hi all,
I pre ordered mine here: http://www.expansys.fr/asus-zenwatch-eu-265396/
Please note I'm from France.
Anyone got any news with UK release? Hopefully comes before Christmas so I can get myself a Christmas present
Noticed this morning that Simply Electronics list this on their site for £184.95. Also that they've got 5 in stock and make no mention of it being imported. Considering a UK launch date or price hasn't been announced (that I know of) I'd be very sceptical.
UPDATE: A glance at some Google Shopping reviews suggests they might not be on the level.
they are based in HK and have some very dodgy reviews - actually rang them this morning asking whether it is uk stock and this wasn't clearly answered. I then asked about customs duty and they just said its an all inclusive price - bollox. Expect duty and RM charges on top....
I actually remember I nearly bought a camera off this lot a couple of years back but they aren't exactly truthful about location of item or taxes etc - means you'll pay customs and it'll be regarded as a grey import without warranty.
I think its sad that ASUS are dragging their feet on this. I've looked at big daddy in the US but again with their $40 fee and customs, its getting expensive!
Need an american friend to buy and send as a gift!
Anyone heard anything more on the UK release?
Avoid Simply B'S they are HK based

I decided to try se after I discussed at length where the watch was coming from (uk or abroad) , the warranty, etc. I was told it's coming from the UK. Has a UK se warranty. Ordered last week and the amount of bull I've been fed since is unreal. Been told due to amount of orders they should be able to post it by mid December! Even though they originally said 10 days..... I queried why it should even take 10 days?! They are full of sh.....
If and when it arrives, if it's not a UK warranty, I will charge it back through my credit card as I will have been mis sold the item according to trading standards. Mmm I will then follow up with trading standards and ensure they are put out of business based on their mis-sellibg practices... At least in the uk/as a UK seller.
Anyway, still no UK date grrr

Don't order from Simply Electronics. The product they have is not certified anywhere and is dodgy. They quote low prices to draw people in and you very stung after. I got taken in by the cheap price if a macbook air but it wasn't European certified or certified by America FFC. They're customer services is rubbish and they don't reply and when they do they try to get you to keep the product at a reduced cost. I had to complain through PayPal and eventually got all my money back. Lesson learnt. They are based in HK but have warehouses in UK and Europe. If you ever do order then be wary as they're not that easy in returning and will try to get away with charges to deduct from the amount you paid on receipt of a return. I would suggest you all keep away like you would with the plague!! All the reviews online are rubbish and are made up to make them look good.

Expansys have changed from a "keep me notified" page to a pre-order page. I don't know whether that's due to a site relaunch (can't recall whether I've seen that design before), or whether it's changing.
BTW, for a while now, I haven't seen Simply listed on the Google Shopping page when searching for the Zenwatch.

I pre ordered back in October but nothing since then obviously. Dunno if I should pre order again! Had a price when I first did it. £159.98 is the price that was given.
Just looked on simply be and it's on their site for pre order just under £200 - site has changed a lot since I made that horrible mistake of ordering from them a while ago.

I have a zenwatch in my possession in the UK. It was ordered from the US via Big Apple Buddy. I ordered it on Friday 5th December at around 2100, paid by PayPal and had it - with shipping & tracking information and regular updates - delivered by FedEx by 1030 on Monday 8th December.
The total cost was around $285, including service charges, but felt this was still pretty good value in the realm of early adoption, given the interminable wait for the damn thing to reach the UK.
I can vouch for the fact that Big Apple Buddy are entirely safe and reputable.
And the watch? Well worth it, especially with 5.01 sideloaded.
I looked at them^ but they came back much more expensive than this!
I've just ordered a Gear VR from Samsung US using .comGateway - very reasonable $20 plus postage.
