Seems, if you want to pay over 3 months, the 4G model is available Very soon. Within 3 days they do say.

Every time I see a picture of the Nexus 7 the bezel just looks huge, like a big forehead and chin.

![]() It's interesting to hear Google defend the heavy forehead-and-chin bezels as allowing you to hold it more comfortably in landscape mode, along with the rotation of the "nexus" badge. Remember when the N7 wasn't even supposed to be used in landscape mode!? (The home screen refused to rotate until a later update). I guess they've conceded that one now! |

No idea why it is so, but if you watch a movie the bezel makes it easy to hold.
We already have sites claiming a thinner bezel is what makes the iPad Mini better ! |

Still can't believe its nearly 2 months until its released over here. But hopefully, that will give them time to sort any bugs or QC issues. |

http://www.very.co.uk/asus-new-nexus...1296067022.prd http://www.very.co.uk/asus-new-nexus...1296067147.prd It's the 32GB model for £239. Am i right in thinking it's actually for sale right now? It says 'available' but beside it it says 'delivery within 4 weeks'. So they don't have any in stock, do they? Very confusing! |

Do Very lie?
http://www.very.co.uk/electricals/as...4294957818.end They claim 'low stock, selling fast'. They tend to be high priced with the occasional decent offer. |

I got a email from eBuyer tonight stating guaranteed delivery for Saturday August 24th if you pre-order the new Nexus 7.
http://www.ebuyer.com/524793-asus-ne...0nk0081-m00130 SCAN suggests 30th August: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/googl...-bt-eta-30th-a |

Wish there was proper confirmation from somebody rather than 'expected' release date. |

I think Very are usually competitive on price...
Saying that, I was just as baffled by those mid September claims on here despite the usual up front tech sellers like ebuyer/PC World giving an end of August date, early September dates. |

I have twice asked in Tesco shops, generally they know nothing about the new model.

This is why I wasn't too bothered about the release delay over here. The Americans get try it out first and can report any bugs before we buy it!

They adding Wifi location services, obviously to sell adverts better! I'm guessing turning that off to leave pure GPS will fix it. |
