You love posting articles don't you? If this is true, I would love to get one, I'm getting a little tired of my Asus Transformer Prime. I would love a Nexus 7.

I just try to pass along information!!

Now called the Nexus 7+ (?), the LTE variant appears to have hit the FCC OET late this week.  3GPP only.  LTE bands 2/4/5/13/17.  Nothing for Sprint.

It's interesting that band 13 is included. Verizon is the only carrier using that band anywhere, right? Is Canada planning on auctioning that spectrum soon?

[WiWavelength]

And this appears to be the FCC OET filing for the Wi-Fi only variant, which does now include 5 GHz 802.11n.

Yes. Band 13 being included is likely because Verizon Wireless has a mandate imposed on it to allow any device supporting Band 13 to operate on its network. Google doesn't have to do anything with Verizon Wireless to release such a tablet.

Would Sprint allow any devices that connect via LTE over either bands 25 or 26 in the future?

I'm doubtful. Despite how "generous" it is, it's hardly a bastion for BYOD. It would require some serious changes for Sprint to be comfortable with BYOD.

So this looks awesome and I will be ordering one almost immediately since I gave my girls son my Nexus 7 a while back. I just wish they cancelled the cameras and put the Snapdragon 800 chip in it, but I'm sure it will be awesome either way.

I think I might buy this to replace my Asus Transformer. I've had it for more than two years and I think this may be a good time to upgrade. For the price, the specs sound good and I'd probably sell my TF to help defray some of the cost.

If it were the Nexus 8 with a 8 in screen I would be ecstatic but since its a Nexus 7, I'll pass.  7 in tablet is too small.  The screen size of the ipad mini is just perfect.

My longstanding Nexus 7 does not seem to be cooperating with me in trying to read this thread. Hmm, I wonder why...

Probably because Google cheaped out and got Tegra 3.

I want a nexus 7 with standard cell phone capabilities, worldwide 3g, tri-band LTE, and WIMAX for good measure.

Tegra is horrible. I will probably never buy another Tegra device. My asus transformer prime can hardly load web pages. It lags so much. I never use it anymore oh well

It's a shame too, when I heard that it would have such wide LTE support, I was quite hopeful. Maybe a new Sprint model down the line (he wished).
