Can't Wait! :highfive::highfive:

Staples website said the earliest they will arrive at purchasers house's will be the 13th. So, I'm guessing the 13th may be the day Google has given the all clear to release.

How messed up would it be to walk into a gamestop or staples on Thursday and pick one up? What would that say about google?

I would absolutely buy it from GameStop and return the one from the Google Play store.
Not really... I like Google too much...

Games top removed the nexus 7 from their website. What does that mean?

Was told my my local manager that if it does drop Thursday, then all of us who ordered it from him would be welcome to show up at midnight on Thursday to pick it up. How dope would it be for a midnight launch:good::good::good:.

that's great news for those who ordered from Gamestop - specifically speaking, your local store. Too bad the same isn't reflected here in Australia for our local EBGames stores. Still showing up on the site as an estimated release date of 27/07/2012. Either way I'm sticking with my PlayStore order, as I'd assume would be arriving sooner than the 27th.

I pre-ordered last night at Gamestop and the manager told me they already had a stack in the back room. He also said that I would get one when the release date is finalized.
However, after this, like many have seen, the release date on his screen shows up as 7/31. Said he'd give me a call when/if that date changes and that they'd probably have a midnight pickup.
I can't friggin wait!!

I wonder how many employees that preordered themselves are in the back room after hours playing with their nexus tablets. Back in the day I worked at blockbuster for a while and we always got goods early... sometimes weeks in advance. I never bought a game system or anything but we were allowed to watch movies a week or two in advance.

Yeah I loved having a mom that worked at the movie store! lol...always had stuff a week before it came out.

I am the only one who would be pissed to if anybody gets this from gamestop tomorrow? Surely google can't let people have them before thier very own pre-orders?

I was thinking that myself. The reason I preorderd it through Google was so I could get it first. It'd be a bummer if it didn't work out that way.

I understand you being mad (it makes sense), but you shouldn't be mad at the people who get them. You should be mad at Google.
EDIT: Ok. I was wrong. You shouldn't be mad at Google either. They're busting their balls to try to make it fair for you. If some people do get them (which they will) then you should be mad at the company for releasing them.

If you do end up getting it tonight, will you post some pictures and stuff just to prove that it's possible to get it from GameStop early? I'm going when they open tomorrow and asking if they have mine. I'm pretty sure I was the only pre-order and I live in a smallish town, so I doubt they've received anything telling them not to release the devices.

16gb nexus 7 discontinued?

Well I was stupid and pre-ordered from Wal-Mart.com. My order status stated it would arrive today but that it hadn't shipped yet. I called their customer service and they said they had to cancel my order because my item has been discontinued from the distributor. Called gamestop and they said that not only are they out but they were told today they weren't getting anymore...anyone else heard this?

Definitely NOT discontinued. Supply issues certainly, but not discontinued.

Google were shocked by demand, they though it would be like the iPod touch where the cheapest model sold the most- they got the opposite.

Sounds like they're tired of answering questions at Gamestop.

Discontinued? That kinda made me laugh. I wouldn't believe a word from anyone working at Walmart. Products like these just don't get discontinued in a month.

I heard Asus is refusing to make anymore until those that have suggested it would have been better to have Samsung or Motorola make them instead, apologize..
In other news, it could be a national holiday in China, like it was during the long wait for the Notion Ink Adam, where employees agreed to continue working during New Years celebrations instead of going on their yearly vacation to see their families. Perhaps this time they see no benefit and refuse to skip theirs..
Second wave 8/30 or still waiting on the SD (street date) of 8/05?
NOTE: I called my Gamestop, they didn't have any, she offered to look in the computer to see which stores nearby had them in stock. Went to one and exchanged mine on the spot.

My Gamestop called me today to tell me my replacement came in.

I also ordered from Wallmart and checked on my order yesterday they said that it was ready to ship today. Than today I get a email and was told that they could not ship it yet. This was after they told me that they had them!

Well I don't need to apologise as I said in the other thread stores could have had a faulty early batch but didn't say I agree with changing manufacturers
Anyway, others just have to wait and hope they come out okay

Yeah, I think at the price point more people went straight for the 16GB. I know I did, I didn't even consider the 8GB.
Honestly though with either model and an OTG cable and a little root work, storage isn't really a limiting factor at all. People who really want an N7 and can find a 8GB now should scoop one up.

They make an 8GB one?
LOL :silly:

It's not discontinued as mentioned, probably just temporarily out of stock. In Sweden we seem to only get the 16GB version sometime during September. I would have been fine with the 8GB but it doesn't really matter to me either in price or storage.

They might have stopped to address the screen and creaking issues. That's just a guess though.

I stopped by a GS the other day to see if they had any accessories for the n7, they didn't, but when i Asked them if they had any n7's the employee told me you had to have preordered one to get one and they wouldn't be getting more.
Doesn't mean Google isn't making more' just means GameStop won't be selling them.

Google probly pissed at retail stores for selling them before street date ..
Or maybe they don't want to be in retail and decided to run a Play Store sweat shop with backed up orders that continue to build up
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Even if they halted distribution, there's no way it's being discontinued. I really doubt that any Walmart rep has his or her finger on the pulse, and the Gamestop guy only said that they were expecting shipments but now they're not.
It is possible that Google wants to put a hold on things until they reign in the build quality.

The HP Touchpad was discontinued barely a month after the product was released.

Yeh, but that was a total flop and only started selling in the fire sales after it had been discontinued. This on the other hand was a massive success and sold-out everywhere,

Wal mart or radio shack

So I have two job offers I'm debating on and would like some of our expert knowledge here on them.
First is the wal mart job as the meat department manager, and second is assistant store manager at a radio shack.
Both are hourly positions and pay roughly the same across the board.
I've worked for wal mart before and recently left back in June of this year, and loved it. Radio shack is a new opening for me and my love of technology and the ability to play with phones all day but I'm stuck between the two.
Wal mart has some decent employee discounts on cell phone contracts, and airfare etc. I don't know what radio shack has to offer tho.
So if it was up to you guys who would you rather work for? Give me some facts and opinions on the two companies.
Thanks!!!

Refrigrigated section is not to bad. Frozen, now that sucks.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Maybe look at it from a potential customers you'd have to deal with standpoint?
Radioshack: Not particularly tech-savvy (since they didn't order online instead) and stuck in the 90's or tech savvy people looking for one particular obscure component that they couldn't wait to have shipped from an online order.
Walmart:Since you're in the meat department you wouldn't have to deal with as many customers.
At least that's how I'd see it.

I've worked meat department in a store before and hated the way I smelled after work. It cuts social life after work completely unless of course you go home and shower. I've also worked as Sprint lead tech and loved that position way more since I could still go out after work. In fact I proposed to my fiancee after a 10 hour shift at Sprint; there's no way that would've happened after a 10 hour shift at a meat market lol

Has anyone successfully preordered from RadioShack ?!?!

I'm haveing a hard time finding knowledgeable reps that even know what I'm talking bout one asks there manager and he said they won't be doing preorders on that phone. I hate when I know more than the people at the store but yet they are employed there and I'm not.

With every other company giving you extra for per ordering I was going for the RadioShack deal since it posed to come with $10 coupon and $50 Google play card with preorder. Still gunna hold off a bit longer to see if they release a new ad.
