The Nexus 7 (2013) with LTE just went live on Google Play for $349. Google is selling it as being unlocked with a T-Mobile SIM, however, it should work on (almost) everyone’s LTE network here in the States. We’re talking Verizon (was announced as being supported), T-Mobile, US Cellular, and AT&T, since it supports LTE frequencies of 700, 850, AWS, 1900MHz. I do not believe that Sprint is supported, at least according to the official tech specs which do not list bands 25 and 26.
Keep in mind that you won’t be able to fall back to Verizon 3G at any time, but you can fall back to AT&T and T-Mobile HSPA should you choose their service.
We’re trying to confirm all of this, but that’s what was announced at the Nexus 7’s unveiling.
If you want to use the device on T-Mobile, though, it looks like Google and T-Mo have partnered up to give you 2GB of free 4G data for the first month with “no obligations.” Ground shipping is also free.
This Nexus 7 model comes with 32GB of storage.
Here are the officially supported bands according to press docs:
