About Kevin Krueger

Self-proclaimed "know-it-none," I prefer HTC hardware with AOSP ROM's. When not writing about technology or shooting YouTube videos, I like to tinker with motorcycles and R/C cars.

    Ah yes, what many have been waiting for. I imagine there may be a few WiFi models on CTO before we know it. I am still content with tethering. Call me cheap. I call it resourceful and frugal. ;)

      Not having to setup hot spot on the phone first when you want to check on something is such a convenience. Not sure I could go back at this point, Once you go down that road and get a bit spoiled, you really don’t want to go back.

      • Phone_Junkie

        I hear you K! Convenience can be a beautiful thing.

  • Dave12118

    Nice find keV! I will indeed be trading my 32g WiFi version for an LTE version asap.

  • Chris Johnson

    I’m SO glad I waited.

    • Dave12118

      Kinda wished I had. Only because I’m not going to get what I paid for my 32 gig WiFi version.

  • Praneeth Kancherla

    Anyone know if we can make voice calls using this tab? OG Nexus 7 has no voice call support

    • Dave12118

      I don’t think so Praneeth. I could be way off but I really don’t think so. If it can, I’m selling my Note 2 on CTO and using this beast as my phablet.

      • Praneeth Kancherla

        Hmm.. I don’t know what is stopping Google to include that functionality

        • ddevito

          Groove IP + Google Voice. Works great

    • Ian M

      In the system apps folder on the wifi version there is an app for phone but it isn’t installable
