Nestle and Google bow to popular wishes in India, to send Nexus 7 2013 to all the winners of the Nestle KITKAT contest including those who have already received the Nexus 7 2012

This is a win for the popular voice of India !!!

Two weeks after comboupdates (Cheated.... by Nestle and Google, ditches on the promise of first 1000 to get Nexus 2013 in India...gives Nexus 7 2012 1B032A) broke the story of how Nestle reneged on the promise of delivering Nexus 7 2013 to the Indian winners just like Google and Hershey did in the United States, Canada and other countries, Kitkat today did a about turn and announced that all winners including those who have already received the Nexus 7 2012 will be given the latest version of the tablet. This was the reply posted on Kitkat India Facebook page

We are delighted to announce that winners of ‘Android Kit Kat promotion’ will receive the new 2013 Nexus 7 tablet. If you have received an earlier version of the device, we will contact you separately to get it replaced. The delivery schedule for the new dispatches as well as the procedure to be followed for replacement will be communicated shortly.

Days of protest over here, including forming a group on Facebook of which I am admin, and reporting on various blogs, Indian and international has borne fruit.  At the helm of the protests were winners like me whom I wish to personally thank through this post.

A big thanks to all the above sites for bring the discrimination against the Indian winners to the notice of online community.  

I had received my Nexus 7 2012 Tab just today and I had not unboxed it for the hope of this happening and now my hope has turned into a reality.  Comboupdates and I will works towards bringing the latest news as it happens

Cheated.... by Nestle and Google, ditches on the promise of first 1000 to get Nexus 2013 in India...gives Nexus 7 2012 1B032A

Friends we have been cheated...  There is no other word for what Nestle has done to the hopes of thousands of Indians who took part in the KITKAT contest with a hope of winning Google Nexus 2013 with latest OS Android 4.4 on it and as did the 989 winners who won the contest. This was the announcement the contest page made from day one :

All the contest winners were expecting the new Nexus 7 2013 which was released in India and is shipping for Rs.20999.00.  And from the letter and image received from a fellow blogger, Mihir Wagle, it appears that Nestle is shipping this :

Letter received by Mihir Wagle

Nexus 7 received by Mihir Wagle

The irony is that the winners have already indemnified Nestle and Google by signing a 'No Dues Certificate'  The NDC was signed in good faith by all the winners but it seems that Nestle is not keeping its promise.  It is known the this contest was launched by Google and Nexus to announce the arrival of its new operating system Android 4.4 KITKAT and has been successfully completed in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia where the winners have been given the Google Nexus 2013.  Why this discrimination against us, Indians.  Somebody at the top of the organising committee is answerable for this.

Some naysayers may argue that what difference does it make for we have won Nexus 7 ?  But in this day and age there is something called professional ethics.  By not keeping the promise made of "You guys are among the first 1000 in India to take a break with the all new Nexus 7 tablet" the contest organisers have made a fool out of the winners.  

Surely the contest organiser know that Google Nexus 7 2012 has thousands of users in India

I request all you winners to kindly come and comment on this post. This may wont change the outcome of the contest but I hope this will make the contest organisers aware that we Indians cannot be taken for granted...  

A friend and a blogger Manu has posted this image online which clearly shows the model number of the Nexus 7 which is being given to us as a prize.

Another reader Dev Vaikul has aptly Tweeted this image which I think surmises our despair !!!

I request you to kindly like this post on Facebook, Tweet this on Twitter (you are requested to use the handle #nexus2013forIndia  )and plus this post on your Google Circles and forward to as many friends, Indians and others so that they come to know what kind of raw deal we have got... 

And hope that Nestle and Google realise their folly and send the latest Nexus 7 2013 to the winners!!!

A reader Ajit has sent this images which clearly confirm that we have been taken for a ride 

Update :

Friends it seems that KitKat International was unaware of this entire episode.  It has promised us via Facebook that it has spoken to its Indian counterpart and to get our issue resolved amicably. The message was received last night (6.12.2013) and since today and tomorrow are holidays we have to wait until Monday for KitKat India to respond.  

Keep up the good work fellas

Latest update :
KITKAT India has Tweeted and made a post on Facebook giving a flimsy reason 

We hear you’re unhappy. Winners got the Nexus7 tabs available in India in Sept (contest date). The new version launched only in Nov.
— Kit Kat India (@KitKatIndia) December 7, 2013

After winning the Kitkat Contest, where is my Nexus 7 2013 : A question to the contest organisers ?

Exactly two weeks have passed since I received the messaged from the Nestle guys that my documents were found in order and I should get the delivery within 6 - 8 weeks.  I am waiting and so are the 897 others (there are total 898 winners as per the KIKAT contest winners list).

Now my patience and the patience of the winners including the commentators on this post is wearing out fast.  A probable winner Kruti Patel has filed a complaint on a redressal portal, which I think was premature on the winners part.  The Nestle has promised delivery within 6 to 8 weeks and counting the contest date of 22.11.2013, by all accounts the maximum time Nestle should deliver the Google Nexus 7 2013 (16GB) is  3rd Jan to 17th Jan, 2014.  

It seems that many of the winners (actually most) have not received any confirmation message like I did.  Here also I would opine that as long as the Nestle or the Agency (GroupM) has not called you explicitly informing you the non receipt of the documents, it is safe to assume that your documents have reached and have been accepted.

I would once again like to congratulate and thanks the winners for not only winning the Google Nexus 7 2013 but also making comboupdates a lot of fun and answering queries of winners.

UPDATE :

SMS received from +919555290764 :Congratulations, this is from KITKAT.  I would like to inform you that your audit is cleared...your Tab will be despatched soon.

Nestle KITKAT contest, extension of date and the delivery schedule for Google Nexus 7 2013 to the contest Winners

This is in continuation to my Winning the Google Nexus 7 with KitKat contest a dream come true article which was very much appreciated by the readers and well as participants in the contest.  I am writing this post to clear many a doubts which have come up in the minds of all the participants of the Nestle KitKat Contest.  This post became necessary on two counts.  

One of the reasons was the extension of the contest by Nestle.   The Nestle today extended the contest upto 22nd November 2013.  And in this five days it will be giving out 100 Google Nexus 7 2013.  The reasons for this extension has not been given by Nestle but it can be safely assumed that these 140 Google Nexus 7 2013 tablets (100 + 40 are part of the original 1000 tablets but due to some reason the contestants/participants may not have been confirmed and/or they would not have sent the required documents to Google.  Another reason may be that the Nestle couldnt verify the authenticity of such documents.

But do remember that Nestle/its agency GroupM made a call to each of the contestants whose documents had not reached Ms.Subarna Nandy.  Some of the contestants have sent the documents through SpeedPost, the caller from GroupM had requested these winners to resend the documents alongwith a photocopy of the Nestle KITKAT wrapper, if available.  

It is safe to assume that if you have not received such a call asking you to resend the documents from GroupM means that your documents are in order and Nestle will deliver the Google Nexus 2013.

The Google Nexus 2013 delivery schedule.  The Nestle today began sending SMSes to the winners informing them thus :

This is to inform you that we have received your documents and they are upto mark..your gift will reach your doorstep after 15th november within 6-8 weeks..for queries you may contact 09555290764

regards nestle

I received this message today at 10.00 am in the morning.  Further I also received a email from Nestle stating that the delivery will take place within next 6 to 8 weeks.

In this regard I would assume that the delivery process has been initiated by Nestle and we should our Google Nexus 2013 within the end of November.  Those staying in remote areas may get it by mid December.

Another of the most asked question on the previous post was that which Google Nexus 2013 will Nestle give.  In my opinion Nestle will give out the latest Google Nexus 7 2013 16GB.  My belief comes from this image posted on the contest page.

In this image from Kitkats contest page, it is clear that the winners will be given a ALL NEW NEXUS 7 TABLET and you will be among the first 1000 to get it.

Others may have different opinions but I am going to stick with this one.  I also think that the 6-8 weeks given by Nestle is a generalised maximum period so that anxiety does not set in among winners. Those staying in cities and Metros will get it earlier than those staying in remote places.

I would also like to thank my reader Manu Prasanna Kumar who went out of the way to answer the queries of readers.  I would also like to thank a certain Anonymous visitor who sadly wants to remain anon,  who time and again gave valuable comments on the readers queries.  I hope both of you will continue helping out the readers as well as me.

Hope you get your GOOGLE NEXUS 7 2013 soon and believe me it is the most wonderful tablet I have laid my hands on!!!

For those who have not won, you can still try your luck for next four days.  Remember there is no fixed strategy as such, just plain luck.  

KITKAT contest will close today :)

After winning the Kitkat Contest, where is my Nexus 7 2013 : A question to the contest organisers ?

Cheated.... Please visit this post and bring it to the notice of Nestle, Google and the world

Price comparison between Google Nexux 5, LG G2, Samsung Note 3, Samsung Galaxy S 4, Sony Xperia Z1, Nokia Lumia 1020 and iPhone 5c

Finally after all the brouhaha both the Android 4.4 KIT KAT and the first smart phone running on it is out.  The Google Nexus 5 running on Android 4.4 KIT KAT is available on Google Play India. The prices are as follows 

1. Nexus 5 16GB Black/White > Rs.28999.00

2. Nexus 5 32GB Black/White > Rs.32999.00

Though the Google Play says that both the versions are 'Coming Soon' I would advise buyers to wait for the Google Nexus 5 before buying any other smart phones.  Why?

First and foremost Google and LG have got the pricing absolutely perfect on this one.  A brief look at the specifications of Google Nexus 5 > 

• Processor: Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 with 2.30GHz Quad-Core Krait 400 CPU and Adreno 330 GPU
• Operating System: Android 4.4, KitKat
• Display: 4.95-inch Full HD IPS at a resolutions of 1920 x 1080 pixels(~445 ppi pixel density)
• Network: CDMA/1xRTT/EVDO, GSM/GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA/HSPA+, LTE
• Memory: 32GB / 16GB (your choice)
• RAM: 2GB
• Camera: Rear 8.0MP at 3264 x 2448 pixels resolution and 1080p video output @30fps with OIS / Front 1.3MP HD
• Battery: 2,300mAh Li-Polymer (embedded)
• Size: 137.84 x 69.17 x 8.59mm
• Weight: 130g
• Others: Wireless charging, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, Wi-Fi hotspot, microUSB (SlimPort) v2.0

If you check out the specs they are the best of the lot and let me tell you why you should wait for Google Nexus 5 to arrive before you splurge any thing on buying a new phone.  All the other smart phones having similar specs are available for more than Rs.35000.00 and feature the old Android 4.2 OS with some running on the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. 

The nearest competition to Google Nexus 5 is LG G2 and is priced closest to the Nexus 5 at Rs 41,500.00 for a 16 GB version, while a 32 GB version of the smartphone is Rs 44,500.   You can get both the versions cheaper online with Flipkart giving 16GB at Rs.37999.00 and 32GB one at 40490.00.  

But that still makes the LG G2 around Rs.10000.00 dearer than the Google Nexus 5.  LG G2 has a bigger 5.2-inch screen with a better 13 megapixel camera but remember it still runs on Android 4.2.2 with LG’s Optimus 3.0 user interface on top.  So you are getting a little high speced smart phone with a older OS by paying Rs.10K more.  

The next one is the list is Samsung Galaxy Note 3.  Like LG G2, the Samsung Note 3 also has a bigger screen than Google Nexus 5, 5.7 inches to be precise with a 13MP camera.  It also has 3GB RAM while the Google Nexus 16/32GB will have 2GB RAM.  The Samsung Note 3 is available on Flipkart for Rs.46899.00 which Samsung website lists it at Rs.47900.00.  This makes the Samsung Note 3 (comparing 32GB versions) about Rs.13000.00 dearer than the Google Nexus 5, 32GB version.  

Again the Samsung Note 3 runs on Android 4.3 and the only thing that is exciting about Samsung Note 3 is the 'S Pen' it bundles and the seamless connectivity with Samsung Gear smart watch (for which you have to spend another Rs.20K)

The other flagship offering from Samsung which is close to Google Nexus 5 is the Samsung Galaxy S 4.  The Samsung Galaxy S 4 is priced at Rs 40,690 on Samsung’s website and is retailing for the same price on Flipkart and at RS.39999.00 on another ecommerce portal Infibeam.

The Samsung Galaxy S 4 has a almost similar size 5-inch full HD screen but with a 13 megapixel camera and an Octa-core processor(which is almost double power over Nexus 5 in geekspeak). But then this device won’t support 4G in India and only has 16 GB memory.  So are you interested in paying Rs.13000.00(against Google Nexus 16GB version) extra for the processor speed and 13MP camera for a smart phone which also runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean (Samsung will be updating it)

Sony is another worthy competition to Google Nexus 5.  Its latest flagshop launch, Xperia Z1 comes with a whopper of a camera at 20.7MP.  In addition the Xperia Z1 is all kinds of proof (water/dust).  Sony Xperia Z1 is retailing online for Rs 42,990.00. If you compare the Xperia Z1 and Google Nexus 5, the biggest differential is the camera but you get it for almost Rs.14000.00 extra over Google Nexus 5 16GB version. 

If you are a photography aficionado you might as well learn about the massive 41MP camera smart phone from Nokia.  The Nokia Lumia 1020 running on Windows Phone 8 has a 41MP camera but sadly does not have a full HD screen or a quad core processor like Google Nexus 5.  The smartphone’s official price is a huge Rs 49,999.00 while it is available on Flipkart for Rs 47,222.00.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 is a great offering for those who are real photography buffs but the sore points like it running on Windows Phone 8 without many Apps and the others pointed above, you did wish you go for Google Nexus 5. 

Leaving Android and Windows Phones smart phones available in the market we do have the Apples latest foray into budget space. iPhone 5c running on iOS 7.  But again the budget smart phone from Apple is slightly overbudget for my liking, available at Rs 41,900.00 for a 16GB version while the iPhone 5s will start at a whopping 53,500 for a 16GB version. While RCom has come with a nice contract offer where you get the iPhone 5c for Rs.2600.00 a month locked for 24 months, I dont think any other operators will come up with such kind of scheme.  

So all in all Google has come up with a real beauty both with the price as well as specifications.  You did have to wait only till end of this month to get your hands on Google Nexus 5 instead of spending around 10 to 20K extra for a nice smart phone.  

List of Android smart phones to get Android 4.4 KIT KAT by the end of this Year

Now that Google has released its latest version of Android 4.4 KIT KAT, everybody owning a Android smart phone want a piece of action of the latest OS.  Though the Android 4.4 KIT KAT is said to work on any smart phone Android 2.3 Ginger Bread and above running on 512MB RAM due to its less resource driven structure, it may a little while for all Android smart phones running on 512MB RAM to feature a official version of Android 4.4 KIT KAT.

Image courtesy knowyourmobile.com

However some of the major manufacturers have already announced that they will be releasing the updates of Android 4.4 KIT KAT for their smart phones.  If you see your device in list be assured that the latest version will reach your smart phone much before than anybody else.  If you dont see it, please dont loose heart your manufacturer may come up with a update at a later time or there is always the custom ROM available for installation.

Google Nexus 

Since the Google Nexus 5 is the first phone to be released with Android 4.4 KIT KAT, rest assured all the other Nexus devices will soon have the latest version on board.  It doesnt matter who has manufactured the Nexus but following will be the first ones to receive the VIP treatment.

• Nexus 4
• Nexus 7 2012
• Nexus 7 2013
• Nexus 10

Next in the line for the Android 4.4 KIT KAT update is HTC.  HTC as we all know is rather a lazy company when it comes to updates. But let us hope it keeps its KIT KAT promise to get all the below mentioned devices updated in 90 days

• HTC One (all models including HTC One Mini)
• HTC One Google Play Edition

The next company is Google own Motorola.  This company should be off the blocks right after the Nexus updates.

• Moto X
• Droid Ultra
• Droid Maxx
• Droid Mini
• Razr HD Developer Edition

As always Samsung is the last one to announce any updates.  It has only said that its Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition will get the Android 4.4 KIT KAT update within 2 to 3 weeks.  But rest assured the following smart phones will get KIT KAT by the end of this year :

Galaxy S4, 

Note 3, 

Note 10.1 2014 

Galaxy S3 and the Note 2 might get the update too as they are build with solid specs which can support Android 4.4 KIT KAT quite easily. 

The only company left out is Sony.  It has release a Tweet saying that it is excited about Android 4.3 and Android 4.4 and will be giving out news about the updates only next week.  But rest assured folks knowing Sony, I bet it will be first of the blocks to offer update to all its smart phones having 512MB RAM and higher.  But typically first of the blocks will be its flagship models Sony Xperia Z, Z1, Ultra and Mini

re. #Android @KitKat, we’re excited – next week our news on: 4.3, 4.4; products & more... #SonyXperia
— Sony Xperia News (@SonyMobileNews) November 1, 2013

Indian manufactures have kept mum as of now but Micromax, Xolo, Intex, Karbonn and other manufacturers should also update their flagship models by the start of 2014.

Winning the Google Nexus 7 with KitKat contest, a dream come true

You may remember my post, where Google and Nestle has launched a contest on 27th September, 2013.  Nestle in association with the Google was giving out free Google Nexus 7 on the hour every hour to Indian participants for promoting Googles launch of Android 4.4 KitKat.

Well, I had to buy the Nestle's KitKat for making the blog post regarding the contest with a step by step tutorial and surprise surprise, I won a Google Nexus 7 on 17th October 2013 with the Nestle's KIT KAT I bought.  I will get delivery of my prized Google Nexus 7 after 15th November, 2013 when the contest closes.

My congratulations to those of other 640 lucky contestants who have won the Google Nexus 7 as of today.  For the others I would like to bring to notice some salient requirements of the contest which the Google KitKat Terms and Conditions page doesnt mention.  

First of all once you send a message containing the code to KitKat, you will receive a message stating that 

Thank you for participating in the KIT KAT program. Winners will be contacted shortly.  Kindly regain the wrapper.  Visit www.android.com/kitkat for T&C

This message will be received by all of those who participate in the contest.  The key is the second message which is received within 10 to 15 minutes of the first one.  If you receive the second message which is as below, provided your documents are in order, Congratulations, you have won a Google Nexus 7.

Thanks for your participation in the Kit Kat Program.  You shall be contacted within 24 hours by our representative. Kindly retain the wrapper.  Visit www.android.com/kitkat for T&C.

Once you get this message stay close to your mobile phone, dont make unnecessary calls and wait for the Kit Kat representative to contact you. First and foremost she will ask for the wrapper code. Then she will proceed take down all your details and ask you your email id.  Kindly spell out the email id to her and make her repeat this email id.  Once she says Congratulations you have won the Google Nexus 7, your name will be listed on the KitKat contest page.

Wait for the second call this time from Delhi.  The caller, usually a male will confirm whatever you said to the first representative. Once it is confirmed, they will send a email to your email address containing a Blank No Dues Certificate and a Form 60 (in case you dont have a PAN card).  You are to fill this out, enclose the NDC, Form 60, photocopy of your address proof, PAN (all self attested) and the wrapper (staple it on a blank paper) and send it to the following address :

Ms. Subarna Nandy

1st Floor, Building No. 9A
DLF Cyber City, Phase – III
Gurgaon – 122 002
Haryana

You should send the documents within 7 days from the date of second call by courier or registered post.  I sent it across through Bluedart, as Bluedart is fast and has a good tracking service.  

Reading my post, many of my friends and colleagues participated in the contest and as of today 3 of us have won including me.  If you are still interested, there are around 320 Google Nexus 7 left still to be won and the last date is 15th November 2013.  Head over to the post here for details.  

If you have any query regarding the procedure kindly leave your question in the comments box and I will answer to it.

A special thanks to my reader Manu Prasanna Kumar who not only won a Google Nexus 7 2013 but also helped a lot of contestants with timely answers.  I will make a separate post regarding the despatch of the Google Nexus 7 2013 by Nestle in due course :)

Android 4.4 KitKat contest launched in India, buy a specific KitKat and win a Google 2013 Nexus 7

If you were fuming about the Google and Hershey's Android 4.4 KitKat Contest not being available in India, you are in for great news.  Google has now launched the contest in India too.  

In first week of September, 2013 when the Android 4.4 KitKat was launched, Google had announced a contest in the United States where the winners received a Google 2013 Nexus 7 and Google Play Credits.  The contest at that point of time was available only to US citizens.  Now Google has launched a India specific Android 4.4 KitKat contest and you stand to win a Google 2013 Nexus 7 every hour on the hour.  

All you have to do is purchase a KitKat chocolate candy.  You have to buy KitKat that are specific packs and are easily recognisable. They are dark in colour and have Android mascot printed on them. When you unwrap the chocolate, each pack has a special eight digit code which you have to SMS on 9880298802 as below :

SMS KITKAT <space> <8 digit code>

Once you send the message you will receive a feedback message saying that you will be contacted soon.  You can keep yourself abreast of the contest happenings here.   

Google will be giving away 1000 Google Nexus 7 tablets and the last date of the contest is 15th November, 2013.  Remember the Offer is applicable on KIT KAT 2F, 4F & KIT KAT Dark only. So have a break, go out and have yourself a KitKat and maybe you will win the Google Nexus 7.  

Best of luck !!!
