"Google Nexus 7 with mobile data review"
Reply to: by Harperhend
The Verge reviewers seem stuck on the fact that there is no LTE on the Nexus devices. But I have yet to see a use case where more this makes a difference in actual usage. I’d prefer to see something like, “Due to the lack of LTE, my HD Youtube videos were constantly stutterting.” or “The lack of LTE means that you’ll be waiting longer for your web pages to load up, we found that the Verge took a full 10s to load on the Nexus 7 over ATT LTE.” Instead, all I see is “It doesn’t have this particular checkbox”. I have yet to see a normal use case for a mobile device that requires greater than 5Mbs down. Maybe downloading a movie from the play store? But that seems like a stupid thing to do if you have any sort of data cap. Please give real examples, Verge!
