Is this a sale price, or the regular price for this new line up?

LOL! Just told them that Google Play Canada has the 16GB for $209 after they tried upselling me to 32GB. They verified and honored the price match.

I should note that they should have included the shipping charges but to each their own.

You're welcome! The nexus is great companion for my textbooks that are ebooks. This tablet is cost effective compared to the Surface and iPad mini while being somewhat future-proof. I imagine you'll be able to purchase the N7 under 190 on black friday.

Successfully pm'd at best buy in Ottawa (Coventry location). Came out to $207 plus tax. I had a $25 gift card too from last time I was there because they told me it was in stock when it wasn't. Got it for just over $200 taxes in with GC.

Was deciding between refurb ipad 3 and this. And I'm sticking with the ipad. The 7 inch screen just isn't for me. Too small. I also find jelly bean a bit buggy. iOS just seems to be way smoother. Was hoping I could save the $200 difference in price between the nexus and ipad but I'm just not all that impressed with the nexus 7.

I rather not profile this individual as it would be hard to distinguish who he/she is without providing racial attributes. Just try your luck, who knows, he/she may be working there tonight

You should have waiting for Nexus 10. Very positive reviews out there. and will be $100 cheaper than the iPad

I always wondered why there are some CSRs who don't factor in shipping costs when they PM... new hires?

Actually, for a $100 price difference, I would be more inclined to buy the iPad as I already have a Touch and AppleTV. The Nexus7 is a different story as it seems to offers way better value for the price than the Mini.

Since the HSPA version takes micro sim and my phone uses regular sim, would Wind sell the micro for data sharing, and is there a monthly fee like with Robelus?

UPDATE: Contacted Wind and they don't have data sharing (need separate plan for tablet). Unless you are signing up for a new plan, then you can get a $5 / mo 1GB special until the end of the year.

Wind sells micro sims, so they might for data sharing if they have a data sharing plan. Check with them, I suggest. I am gonna see if Wind or Mobi only offer data only plans. Just for tablet. Don't want a cell line/plan. I'm with Bell and the data sharing fees are expensive, including flex data.

That has nothing to do with it, That shipping cost is up to the CSR, its there judgment. General rule at BB, if its under $10, don't bother charging it. :)

Same here....No hassle PM'ing at BB Heartland.
Previously I had asked BB online for a PM and was refused.

The 16gb for $209 is the same product as the old one for $239 at BB right? The actual tablet is the same, just that the price has dropped, the tablet itself doesn't have updated specs?

How about the 32gb, it's a new model, are the specs different, or is it purely a storage upgrade?

Thanks.
