dsilveira ( 2014-11-19 16:43:51 +0300 )edit@dsilveira: most, if not nearly all, jurisdictions have regulatory agencies that have to certify radio devices sold. That does include things with wifi and bluetooth; can't sell a tablet to US consumers without certification by the FCC, for example. Now, it's much easier when it's wifi and bluetooth and not cellular, which I imagine is part of why this tablet is shipping to the States while the phone doesn't.
