Smart to offer 32GB Nexus 7 WiFi-only under postpaid?

The Google Nexus 7 is now on display at the PLDT JUMP Center in MegaMall and Smart has earlier announced that they will be offering the Nexus 7 on a postpaid plan in the coming weeks.

So I checked out the Nexus 7 in the Smart Jump Center to compare with my own unit. I noticed though that the one they had on display was the 16GB WiFi-only variant and not the 32GB 3G variant.

I immediately asked some sources if the one on display will be the one that they will offer. I am told that it will be the 32GB WiFi-only variant and no 3G model will be offered. Nevertheless, the 3G variant will still arrive later on.

This could mean that the Nexus 7 postpaid plan on Smart will most probably come with a pocket WiFi plan.

    This seems to be good news for end users…

    OT. But I’m more interested in Globe and Smart offering the iPad Mini…

    iMessage is one feature I can’t live without kasi,

    There’s no such 1.5gb cap in smart. I’ve been a postpaid user since July.

    I can’t hold myself so I ended up buying the 16GB version. lol.

    What I’m doing is I activate my Galaxy Nexus hotspot for my Nexus7 on the road is not that a hassle for me.

    This doesn’t make any sense at all. Why offer postpaid on a WiFi-only device?

  11. Avatar for pHILIP pHILIP says:

    same here. 3G with 32G memory. plus GLOBE service since it has no 1.5G Cap. pairing it with a pocket wifi is a hassle!

    I’d rather wait for the 3G variant with 32GB storage. I still prefer Globe too.

Please confirm sa matagal na nakaunlidata plan ng smart thank you. Ayaw ko kc magulat ako sa bill ko.
