I see I can order the nexus 7 with four choices. Could someone explain the difference between the first two options below. I assume the second means I have to have my att sim installed to work, but what does the first one [gsm] mean? I obviously know what wiFi means, bust not sure about the first two. Also, what are the disadvantages and/or advantages to each one. Thanks

LTE Unlocked (GSM networks)
LTE Unlocked with AT&T SIM
LTE Unlocked with T-Mobile SIM
WiFi only

IIRC, the only thing different about the LTE Unlocked (GSM networks) (vs. the LTE Unlocked with AT&T SIM and LTE Unlocked with T-Mobile SIM options) is that it doesn't come with a SIM.
 
So that means if I got the one with the att sim card I can have att add it to my account and share the data with my phone?
Thanks so much

If you're on the right plan for that, yes.

Yup. It's the same hardware capable of running on the same networks regardless of the LTE model you choose. The difference is which SIM card (or no card at all) comes in the box.
