      If you want a 7" tablet and can spend the money this is the one to buy, unless you buy the 32GB version.

          you complain about not knowing whether you should buy it even though your not interested either way?

          I don't need a tablet, but how many of us have bought stuff we didn't need, just because other people on this website thought it was a good deal? Also, I used the plural pronoun "us", didn't I? I was asking on behalf of other ozbargainers. I got at least 3 +,and mathew42 got 9 +, meaning that at least 12 other people wanted to know what you guys thought of this deal.

          Edit: I wasn't complaining.who ends a complaint with a ":)" ?

      If you care about external storage more than GPS, you could also consider the Ainol Venus for $139 plus shipping. Also, the 7 inch tablets are good if you want to be able to fit them easily into a smallish handbag or pocket, but the 10 inch tablets are usually nicer to use.

    My only reservation is no SD slot for expansion.

      it would be nice to have an SD card so I can play movies on it while on road trips for the kids but it's not the end of the world I don't really need more than 8GB my iPad is fine with 8GB.

    Brilliant tab….this has pretty much converted me fully from ios to android. Much more fun to use than an iPad. Only downside I can think of is that it can be difficult to read the text on some websites (due to 7" screen) but apart from that, this is an excellent price.

    Wow, time to buy a second one! I sold my ipad and bought this and a samsung 10.1… dont even use the 10.1, the nexus 7 is so awesome! and such a better size.

    I want a Google Nexus 10…The Nexus 7, although very "portable" will have me squinting at webpages with 7 inches..But seems the online stores in Australia are marking up the Nexus 10 $399 price tag by around $100 - a bit of a rip off.

    Oh well, just have to sit tight and wait for the Nexus 10 to drop in price and eventually, the Nexus 4 to become available (to replace my Galacy Ace ancient piece of junk. It also has a $100-$150 mark-up by resellers at the moment).

  • Tiredman on 24/01/2013 - 21:25

    Why are there no local pick up option? I live just ten minutes away from them and i have no time to drop in this week.

        I'm assuming that it doesn't actually function as a phone, just a tablet with VoIP? I read the article and it never really made sense to me. I had a look on Mobicity and it says that it is not Telstra/Optus supported however it is compatible with all bands I'm pretty sure that means it doesn't use mobile network for voice but can for data… What a bummer… I would totally get this if it did I just don't get a strong enough signal not too and unfortunately us Aussies don't get google talk or anything that awesome.

    If you're unsure about this tablet - don't be :-)

    I've had mine about 3 months now (paid $319!), and have been nothing but happy with it. I found the 7" form to be very practical - easy to hold in one hand, drop into a pocket, etc. Decent enough resolution (more than iPad mini), nice gutsy cpu/gpu.

    This was my first tablet, and it rocks. It's taken over about 80% of what I used my iphone and laptop for. My sister bought one to exclusively replace an aging laptop (and loves it).

    Can't recommend them enough (and this price is a steal!).

    • francis.tks on 25/01/2013 - 16:13

      Well, trust me. You wouldn't want a samsung tab 2. The UI is really laggy. I tried both of them before and nexus 7 is really fluid. This is probably because one is running ICS the other jellybeans. Also faster processor.

  • J 1 on 24/01/2013 - 23:14

    HELP!!!
    *do you still get $25 google play credit with this? (saw it mentioned on a Bing Lee video so it must be true?)

    *given that it only has a front facing camera will I be able to use barcode scanning in apps properly? (silly question I think?)

    • vandlin on 24/01/2013 - 23:54

      As far as I'm aware, the $25 credit ended a while ago.

      Not sure about your other question, but I think it should work.

      • J 1 on 24/01/2013 - 23:56

        thanks vandlin
        I couldn't find any other evidence of the $25 credit

        • mrhorseham on 25/01/2013 - 02:04

          ended in september i think

    • ProspectiveDarkness on 25/01/2013 - 19:04

      Question 1: It definitely ended a while ago

      Question 2: I just tried it with the app 'Barcode Scanner' and while the camera worked just fine, the barcode refused to scan (held up a box of tissues to it for 10 minutes). I had much, much more success with Google Goggles, though.

      To say that it was an awkward exercise would be an understatement.

    I bought a Nexus 7 32Gb 3G on valuebasket.com.au with free delivery for 296$. I intended to post the deal on here but because that's the first day I became Ozbargain member I can not start posting. The next days, that price has been going up and now it's 329$.

    Hey OP, the MLN site says "Ends Midnight (EST) Wednesday 30/01/13". You might want to update your post with that.

    That's a great price.

  • Aceboy884 on 25/01/2013 - 00:43

    dare i ask for price matching for ppl outside of VIC?

    $19 delivery fee + $5 credit card fee doesnt seem necessary if it can priced match in stores

    it's a bummer, i wouldn't go through the hassle without those extra fees
