Nexus 7 in Canada Google Play Store

[rajdeep.malhi]

First time here, coming over from CrackBerry. If I'm not mistaken, the Nexus 7 is suppose to go on sale in Canada today on the Google Play Store. If so, does anyone know when exactly it will go live and when we can buy? Thanks in advance!

It's already available for order at NCIX, Memory Express, Newegg, Future Shop and Best Buy.

I'm not interested in buying it anywhere else other than the Google Play Store.

It seems today is your lucky day. It just went live on Google Play Canada.

Thanks for updating me. I was actually about to leave for work when you messaged. I quickly turned back and bought it! So thank you.

Enjoy your new Nexus 7!

I just picked up Nexus 7 open box for $219.99. Future shop price matched Google play price and gave me $10 off for open box. Awesome tablet. Well worth it.

I was going to skip this one over since I only got the 2012 N7 a few months ago. But after seeing all the reviews, I couldn't pass it up and bought it on a whim while on Memory Express last week. Glad I did. Great tablet for the money. Actually...great tablet, period.

So far so good, no light leaks, dead pixels, or touch screen problems. I don't really use my tablets as a GPS, so don't know if there's any issues on that end.

Now we play the waiting game. I sold my BlackBerry PlayBook the second they said it won't get the BlackBerry 10 update. I was extremely disappointed. It had to go. Extremely excited for my Nexus 7. It's going to be my first non BlackBerry device. I've been a BlackBerry user since 2007. Never once did I use a iOS, Android, or Windows device (other than my laptop).

As a former PlayBook owner as well, I can't help but look at the 2013 Nexus 7 and feel that it's somewhat like its spiritual hardware successor. 7" display, stereo speakers (on either side of the tablet), LED light, HDMI out, and soft touch back...all things I liked about the PlayBook.

One thing I really liked about playbook were front speakers. It is weird that Google put speaks in the back with all that unused space in front

I canceled my Futureshop order and instead got it from the Play Store since it's cheaper. However, it's been shipped from the States via UPS. Will I get charged customs?

I've got a Z10 as well. I'm just going to turn on mobile hotspot. It's too bad, BlackBerry couldn't develop a proper BlackBerry Bridge App. It had a horrible ecosystem. Looking forward to going through the Google Play Store. It's going to be a first experience. Never had an Android or iOS.

The front speakers was amazing. But hopefully they're loud enough and make up for the lost sound in the wrong direction.

I don't think they can charge us customs now. That's why we ordered from Google Play Store Canada. I was expecting them to ship it from somewhere in Toronto or something since the payment went to a location in Toronto. Where they decide to ship it from is their choice. My shipment started at Louisville, KY to Lexington, KY to Cincinnati, OH to Maumee, OH to Detroit, MI and now its at Windsor, ON. It was shipped 2 days ago and I live in Brampton. I hope I get it today. If not today, Monday for sure!
