Nexus 7 3g where how when why?

[Nychotxxx]

Is the 3g version available now? I understand tmobile and att are the providers. Which offers the best deal. I plan to use the 3g rarely so want the most cost effective plan. Who in the US is selling the 3g version? How much is it? TIA.

I'm hoping Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Radio Shack, GameStop, and other retailers that already carry the Nexus 7 will have the 3G version too. I really don't want to pay the $14 shipping & handling from the Google Play Store, and I'll be paying sales tax either way.

I'd imagine that the AT&T store would carry it too, since the Nexus 7 with Mobile data ships with an AT&T micro SIM, but I haven't seen it on their website yet. I'll check the AT&T store by my office tomorrow.

I plan to get the prepaid T-Mobile $30/month plan that includes unlimited data (throttled after 5GB) + 100 mins, and stick the SIM card into the Nexus 7 3G. I'm hoping this will work. Unfortunately, T-Mobile is sold out of micro SIM cards on their site (I'm blaming all those Nexus 4 owners LOL).
