O2 Nexus 7 4g exclusive (UK) does it come sim locked? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

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
Andrew

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...

I would try negri or expansys. You will have warranty through them. You will NOT have warranty with newegg or amazon. And I also suggest waiting till February and see if the 32GB comes out. 16gb version price will probably go down. You might find a good deal on a slightly used one from somebody unloading to get a 32GB nexus aaaaand, it gsm version might officially be released in the USA and then it will be safer to buy through newegg or amazon. Anyways, buying through newegg or amazon right will only only allow the exchange/return period as your warranty. Not good if you ask me.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
All GSM phones come unlocked.
Newegg, Negri, Expansys are all good choices. Can't really go wrong with either three.
I personally bought mines from Negri (look for coupons if any exist and you can get a good % off)
Keep in mind that the white GN and GSM 32GB GN is coming out at the end of February (or so) if you're interested in that.
Pretty much what rbiter said.
personally i recommend negri electronics. they're one of the best places to get it. also currently the cheapest. and they honor the years warranty from samsung at no extra cost. they also include a US adapter.
i bought mine from them.
also, keep in mind that the 32GB version is coming in a little over a month, so if you need more than 16, you might want to wait.

oh, and it works great with t-mobile in florida.

Adapter? I ordered mines and didn't come with an adapter. Worked in the wall just fine. I had a yakjuxw build. You might of gotten the UK version so it needed a US adapter, that's probably it.
But regardless, Negri has great customer support + fast shipping. Would buy again, take a look at them. Definitely the cheapest and google around for a coupon (as I mentioned before.. you might save some more!)
I purchased mine from Negri. Had a problem with the first unit, would not recognize my SIM card. Had to pay for a second unit to be shipped while I sent the first one back. Sent the original back in the same box the next day, never even opened the headset or charger. They told me would only take 10 to 12 days for them to issue the credit on the device. They received it on December 19th still no credit and they are not responding to my emails. Now I have to dispute through my c/c company. As far the second part of the question, my GNex works great on TMOUSA! I have not had any issues with the phone working on their system and the speeds are pretty good, not LTE good but still good. I'm getting over 7Mbps down and upper 1's up, I'm outside Philadelphia.

Have you tried contacting them via Twitter? they usually have great customer support. I'm not sure what's up but I'm sure they'll fix you right up.
https://twitter.com/#!/negrielectronic
yeah i got some time... i was thinking prices will go down closer to the end of the month because of the release of the 32 gb version so im hoping to get a 16gb a little cheaper... honestly, its kinda tough to find a good deal on this phone... if n e one has coupon codes let me know! lol thanks for ur help guys
I'm sure you'll have a lot of people recommend Negri here and I can vouch for them. They offer competitive pricing as well great discounts.
I purchased mine during the holidays with free shipping and received mine within a few days.

You could also give them a call,
Toll Free: (888) 358-6358 x 0
(888) 358-6358 x 4 (Accountant Office)
Most likely closed today but tomorrow should be fine. Also seems that their Twitter customer support is still active today, so that might be your best bet, seem to be very friendly and helpful.
im still debating waiting to see if prices will go down a little more....
just bought from expansys... $649.99 with promo code for 20 off

DailySteals.com $530.00 today only unlocked!!!

Today only, daily steals has the silver & white galaxy nexus phone unlocked and brand NEW! I and many other fellow xda members bought the phone last time DailySteals had the phone for sale and I can say that I am very happy with the phone! It came brand new and it works great for my tmobile service! The only problem with DailySteals is that they take awhile to ship the phone, but if you are patient, it will pay off!

I dont remember the exact days but about 2 weeks... Took about a week for them to ship it and about another one after it was shipped. It also matters when you bought it. If you were one of the first to buy it and got into the first batch, you will get it a little bit sooner!
Figures this would happen two days after I finally bite the bullet and just order through Negri after waiting a while for a deal to pop up somewhere.
Oh well, at least I will have it earlier.
Very nice find.
The site offers great deals, but customer service is practically non-existent. Your credit card will be charged immediately when you make a purchase, but the product might not ship for two weeks (which is what happened in my case so it took three weeks in total to get the product to my door). There is no number to call and don’t expect a reply to any emails you send them for two days, if at all. Know that all sales are final, so, if you are in the US and have a problem with a grey market product, which this phone is, you will have to ship it internationally to get it fixed.
Caveat emptor.
On it
I just bought a used one on craigslist last weekend for $500 so when I saw this last night I was a bit pissed off I didn't wait longer. I put a craigslist ad last night for $550 and had someone offer $600 this morning if I delivered it to him (20 mins away). I literally just deposited the money now and ordered this one for $530 brand new....a bit crazy but now I won't be OCD about my phone trying to figure out if any scratches were there before me.
Just pulled the trigger!
geez, I hope nothing goes wrong with my order. Looks like the customer service suck based on the comments.

I've noticed some bad feedback but I've also seen many people have no issues whatsoever. I think it's mostly people who get impatient and don't read the whole taking up to 6 business days to ship thing. Also, a lot of items are specifically stated as refurb where as these are said to be new in retail packaging. I read somewhere using paypal is a good move since you get the buyer protection if the item is broken etc.
My gut feeling says this deal is some cellphone reseller trying to clear it's stock and dailysteals will gather up a bulk orders and order a high volume from them at the end of the 24 hour period. So our money is used first to buy what we ordered and I'm assuming that's why it may take up to 6 business days to ship to us.
I purchased a new open box GN for $529 but returned it once I learned (after contacting Samsung) that the warranty is only valid if the receipt shows it was purchased in the country it will be repaired in. I was surprised as Samsung US never asked for my receipt when I sent my Nexus S in. Bought one from Negri instead so I have a warranty if anything goes wrong in the next 12 months.
i think that most sites like dailysteals and 1saleaday you are paying for the cheap price, not quick shipping and customer service
it sucks to wait and the tracking is usually terrible but the item does arrive eventually
I'd be all over this if I didn't have my extended battery which I need and would kill the white color .

I had not received any updates emails. No wonder the service is bad.
Has anyone received their phone yet or at least see their status updated? Mine still says it's open and I was gonna give them a few more days before I start emailing them. I ordered mine very early in the sale so I hope that I got into the first batch.
All of us that ordered should keep this thread updated so we can hopefully get a rough idea of when we can expect our new phones

They posted it up at 9pm Pacific time and my brother ordered it at 9:15pm. I think he's one of the first to order it, but still hasn't received it yet. I'll keep you guys posted.
Does anyone know anyone who picked one of these up during a previous dailysteal sale?
I'm curious what build this will come with after reading multiple threads on the yakju vs yakjuxx builds.
Just so you know, DailySteals took a LONG time to ship on the first deal and I NEVER got a tracking email. However, I was able to track it by going to UPS's tracking website and using my order number as the reference number. Remember to select "Track by Reference".
The version I got from them was a South Korean model with the Google build on it. However, others reported getting one from China, so it depends what batch you get. I believe everyone I spoke with had the Google build on it.

I would give it 6 business days before you contact them. My status still says open as well (I check it way too much for my own good) but their site said the 6 business day thing with the occasional slight delay depending on the product. I ordered mine at 11am EST so I'm hoping I'll be on the first batch of shipping.
I'm going to try the order number with the UPS site as someone here has mentioned. Let's definitely post on this thread when we see any updates and/or receive our phones to give the rest of us a good idea of when to expect our goodies.

Pre-orders, who has put one in then?

Having been flitting between the One S (for the smaller size) and the One X for the potential hardware benefits I decided to just go with the device I most wanted and plumped for the One X, for me the size is really the only thing that made me think twice as I ride motorcycles for a living, am out on the road a lot reviewing kit and a whopping device is a bit of a PITA in leathers.
How many of you have taken the plunge with a preorder and how many of you went through the same decision making process as me then?
We've already got one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558246
But yes, I've pre-ordered and no, I didn't follow that decision making process (the bigger the better as far as I'm concerned).
I didnt see another thread about the same thing, nonetheless I am interested to hear if peoples buying decisions were anything similar. Having stuck (happily) with my original desire for 2 years the leap to such a massive device is, well, a leap.

I've just cancelled my preorder with amazon UK.
& preordered with carphone warehouse.

Fast delivery, should be launch day (amazon was free super saver delivery which could be 3-5 days)
Basically, the £10 saving has paid for my HTC screen protectors & micro sim card cutter & fast delivery is the bonus.

VERY bad experience with them.
I ordered a Limited Edition Zelda 3DS from thehut dot com and I paid for next day delivery...
Nothing came next day, so the day after that I phoned them up, they'd lost the parcel... Then they'd found it and it was due to be delivered the next day...
Then their tracking system said that at 14:53 the parcel was handed to the courier driver, then at 14:53 it was in transit, then apparently I signed for it at my house at 14:53... ALL THE SAME DAY!!!
Then a week later a woman knocked on my door and hands me the parcel, they'd delivered it to the wrong address, the other side of the city I live in.
They failed to tell me that I'd (apparently) signed for it, then that they'd lost it.
I think yodel are Crap.
Ordered mine from clove this afternoon. £500 including vat and next day delivery. Now for the cases and Sim card cutter!

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

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.

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.

How much was the postage if you don't mind me asking? Also has anyone found anything like this that has Google play store as a retailer?

I'm surprised. How much was the quote for? May be Xmas demand related I suppose.

$50. I got them to pay for it too as wanted a us billing address.
Given up on simply electronics. Never before have i dealt with such an appalling company.
Dropped big Apple buddy another line. Doesn't look like the watch will be released anytime soon here!

HTC IceView case not available

I ordered the IceView case directly from the HTC web site along with my phone. Both items were listed on the order. I received my phone on Friday but the case was not included.
I talked to HTC customer service and they didn't know much. They said they do not have any IceView cases and they don't know when they will be getting them. I tried to speak with a manager but didn't really get anywhere (a "manager" called me back but I think it was just a normal rep pretending). Nobody was able to offer a solution and nobody could offer me any compensation. I tried a message on twitter but that also got no reply. The "manager" is supposed to call me back on Monday but I'm not holding out much hope.
Anyone else in the same boat? Has anyone been able to get more info about when the cases will be shipping?
I ordered my case on May 2, no email or tracking number as of yet. I sent them an email regarding the case with no reply yet.
It seems nobody knows when the case is coming out, including retailers, as places like Amazon UK haven't set even an estimated release date yet.
Amazon were supposed to deliver mine on 4 may but then notified me that they haven't foundb any stock yet.
Not Amazon's fault of course
Strangely it's still listed as "in stock" on the htc store.

Yes so are USB c cables (u like the 3.0.charger). I just gave up and cancelled my order after a week of waiting for an in-stock item to ship.
Just wait until other vendors have the cases etc because at this point I can't even imagine having to rma something.

I'm gonna have to order a cheapo case from Handheld Items until this Ice View arrives, I am freaking out about dropping this damned thing!
No way will I spend $50 on this case (I have been testing a device which was supplied with the case.) It's not quite as nice as the Dotview Ice cases were (although it is also not as prone to tearing at the seam....although my test case *has* torn at the seam). I'll wait until I can grab one <$20....but mostly will continue to keep my 10 in a clear TPU case, like the Fosmon or the Spigen.
Looks like the gave all the IceView inventory to T-Mobile to give away with the purchase of a new phone. That sucks that HTC isn't honoring paying orders placed a month ago but T-Mobile people will be swimming in them in a week (May 18th).

Nope, no cases at TMo in a week: "Redemption req’d by 6/20/16 at htc10offer.htcpromotions.com. Limit 1/customer; 2/household; allow 10 weeks."
Still a chance it is our free item haha

T-Mobile had a deal for a free Ice Case and a free second quick charger if you purchased on launch day or day 2...they didn't say that I wouldn't get these free extras in store and I had to fill out some online form before 5/20 (it launched on 5/18 for T-Mobile) after I finished, they said it could take like 8 weeks but SHOULD be about a month. They waited to tell me that part until after I initialled the last page!
My ice view is coming from the US. Sick of the stock issues and found a seller not charging 100's for the damned thing lolol
I ordered mine direct from Verizon last Thursday, received it Friday. Ended up shipping it back on Monday. NOT worth the money IMHO. Cover doesn't close all the way even without a screen protector, and I found the interactions to be very unresponsive.

That's quite a shame considering their dot view was amazing and worked flawlessly. Perhaps it was defective?

Mine will be here tomorrow apparently (kudos to the eBay vendor if it does! Three days is super last from the US to UK ). I will let people know my initial findings.
I just preordered from HTC for 29.95. They're having a Memorial Day Sale (40% off).

I ordered mine through Verizon in the US and just registered my 10 on the poland htc site. They said after verification of my IMEI, they're going to send my Ice view after the 1st of June. Who knows if it will work since I'm in the US.
