Nexus 7 coming this November with 32GB in tow

We got some pretty solid information from the local Asus office that the Google Nexus 7 is coming this November. The shipments will be more than enough for local demand and the good news is that the 32GB model will be the one that will reach our shores.

We could not squeeze the exact date but it’s safe to say that it will be before the end of November.

As for the expected retail price, we were juggling around the idea of Php14,999USD 256INR 21,668EUR 243CNY 1,861 or something close to that figure. Considering that Google has also dropped the price of the 16GB model in the US from $249PHP 14,613INR 21,103EUR 237CNY 1,812 to $199PHP 11,678INR 16,865EUR 190CNY 1,448, we’re pretty confident the 32GB will be under Php15k.

I got my 16GB Nexus7, johnny air delivered it Oct12. Overall damage was 250$, free shipping in the US kapag lampas 100$, then wala na ako binayad sa johnny air kasi pinasabay ko sa balikbayan box ng kakilala ko. I got the dollar back then 1$=41.8. Not bad at all. I still have around 7~8GB free . . .

I wish I could get one. Except I set my heart with an iPad mini. I’m after their damn ecosystem. Just wish Google can compare with the number of tablet optimized apps Apple have.

Gusto ko ng 32GB Nexus 7, kaso hindi ko gusto iwan iPad ko dahil sa app ecosystem. Perfect size para sakin ang 7 inches. And that price!! Pero ayoko muna lumipat to Android, maybe when a lot more apps become optimized lilipat na ako.

Not doubting you sir yuga, but how sure are the sources this time?

This is like the third time I’ve read a blog post about Asus bringing the Nexus 7 to the Philippines.

Coming in July 2012!… NOT

Coming in October 2012… well they still have until tomorrow, but most likely also NOT

Hi Yuga and fellow readers, will the price be cheaper (USD 299 for a 32gb/ 3G nexus 7) if this is bought in the US (including taxes) and is brought back here by a balikbayan relative, compared to the would be price for the same unit to be set by Asus or by the retailers here in the Philippines? Any idea? Appreciate if anyone could give the price comparison (estimates would be fine) Thank you very much.

I will get it March next year. Maybe either with or without 3G. If it’s not available here in the Phil., I could buy Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 another affordable price from Samsung.

Questions on Nexus 7 in the Philippines:

1. Why is 32GB Wi-Fi only and Wifi with 3G to be released in the Phil on November?

2. What are accessories available when Nexus 7 officially releases in the
Philippines?

When 3G-enabled releases here, will it be available as a postpaid plan on Globe, Smart, and Sun Celluar?
