Nexus 7 with 3G now shipping: $299 for an unlocked 32GB Android tablet

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/13/nexus-7-3g-now-shipping/)

We didn't beat around the bush when calling the original [Nexus 7](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/nexus-7-review/) the best tablet your hard-earned $200 could buy, but those who wanted one with built-in mobile data were sadly left out in the cold. Today, Google's remedying that. The Nexus 7 tablet with WiFi + Mobile Data is shipping today in unlocked form, with a sole 32GB model available for $299. It's the same unit that passed through the FCC's database [just weeks ago](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/25/nexus-7-with-north-american-3g-passes-through-the-fcc/), offering [Android 4.2](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/google-bumps-android-to-4-2-keeps-jelly-bean-moniker/) (Jelly Bean), an empty SIM slot (for use with HSPA+ connections on over 200 GSM carriers around the world), and the same overall fit and finish from the original. We'll be spending a bit of time with this guy in the days to come, but those already sold can pass along their billing information in the source link below.
