The last update for asia was august. Pretty much acceptable for an 'old' model. If you sell your tab please inform us;-) . Anyway decision is entirely up to you.
Me when they stop overcome for the tab 7 it's time to get rid od it.

you must be crazy, the gtab is pawning all tegra 2 tablets so hard when it comes to playing hd movies its not even funny anymore, it came to a point where I wish I was able to scream and shout (with vulgarities included) at the dicko from Nvidia who came up with that incredibly stupid processor.
for myself , i bought the galaxy tab 10.1 3g , and i still have my gtab use it as a phone xD
I just bought one after lots of research into 7" tabs. I think it's the best 3G tab on the market still. What other 7" tabs can compare to it?

I don't see what difference development makes, if it fills your needs for a tablet, why sell it? If it doesn't fill your needs for a tablet, why wouldn't you? Mine still fills it's role just fine and it still fits in my pocket...a leading reason why I still have it and my iPad was stolen.
I just bought mine (seven days ago) because still it's one of the best tablets..for me at least..
I needed tablet which will suport ALL video formats and this little guy is doing that perfectly..
Only time whan I will consider replacing it, is when 7.7" comes out.. (but I think that price will be ridiculous, so..) because of SAMOLED and as far as I can see i don't have that retarded Tegra crap..
PS.
Only thing I would like to know is - Can we expect Ice Cream for our P1000?
If the galaxy tab had a keyboard dock like the transformer, I'd keep it for a long time

As I recall from somewhere I read, Samsung / Google guarantee that android device would get at least 2 OS updates
since we didnt get honeycomb, i think even Samsung will give ICS for us 7 tab owner
especially if the other smartphone that starts with froyo with roughly same specs can get ICS maybe, why wouldn't we?

So I have the choice of trading my n's and 30$ for an evo 3d and and I wanted some input from you guys. I love my nexus. Coupled with cyanogenmod this is the best android experience I've had thus far. My only gripes with it are the glossy fingerprint magnet battery cover, the crappy speaker, and ok camera. But everything else is magnificent. On the other side, the evo has a dual core CPU, qhd display(albeit its super LCD and with htcs crappy build quality I'm sure there will be backlight bleed), and a 4.3 inch display. The real reason I would do this is because if there's one thing HTC is good at, its wireless radios. I can't obtain a landline web connection so tethering is all I got. My download speeds are fine but my ping fluctautes too much. Makes playing battlefield 3 on my PC a chore 70% of the time . Anywho, convince me to keep my nexus, because for some reason I have this feeling that I'm going to regret doing this lol. But as of right now I think I'm gonna go for it.

i would wait to find someone willing to trade you their epic touch. that's the only phone i'd even consider giving this baby away for.
check craigslist periodically, you'll see something come up.
Yes. Dual core.

I actually just traded my e3d for a nexus s. Not enough development for the e3d, drove me insane.
Wouldn't take the evo either. Google phones have very active developers as well as Google support which translates into faster updates and a longer lifespan with updates.
The dev community is what makes or brakes android phones IMHO, and nexus phones have always gotten one of the best.
Having actually gone from the EVO4G ->EVO3d (sprint bought back phone after 1yr, just payed $40 difference) and currently owning a NS4G afterwards, I would stay with the NS4G.
Although in theory the Dual core and Bigger screen may be viewed as an upgrade, with the correct development/kernel on the NS4G, I have had more impressive experience.
Considering you getting a EVO3d now, it probably has hboot 1.50+ on it which will cause you to run into a myriad of problems when trying to root/flashrom/kernel.
In comparison to the NS4G that is, the newer HTC's are locked and require you to use their own htc utility + other apk's to flash inside the system your rom/kernel (given that you have the lastest hboot like I did)
After have owning the Evo3d for a few months and trading my mother for her "older" NS4G, I would never go back. The development on this phone is impressive; hard to find another thread with updates so frequent.
That being said go with what you enjoy in your hand/feel/look/whatyouwannadowithit haha.
Sorry for the Rant.
Ps after ICS on my NS4G i would never go back to my evo. Not until they figure out some better rooting/flashing methods for their newer devices.
Btw the 3d camera is pretty gimmicky. IMHO. Unless you hold it with alot of precision, 3d never looks just right.
I decided against it lol thanks peeps. You've helped me in not making a horrible decision

I also dumped my e3d for a nexus. The lack of AOSP development is the reason why.
Nope not really a fan of the Evo 3D and personally what I want of NS4G is emulators and those all work 100% fine.

Honestly, I think you should keep your Nexus. ICS and pure Google beat out Sense, and gimmicky 3D all day. In my opinion, of course.
And if you hate the battery door, try sanding the back! I did it to mine, and it looks great!
Tutorial and pictures here!
I was in Staples yesterday about to purchase a 16 gig model...the not having capacitive buttons and the lack of a camera on the back are issues for me...but issues I was going to try to overlook.
Then I start playing with the display model for a couple of minutes and came to learn that there is no haptic feedback while typing...or anywhere for that matter. This is a deal breaker for me. The only tablet I can recall ever using that didn't have keyboard vibration is the iPad. Every other Android tab I've used has it.
Quite a let down.
ya that does really suck, all the other asus pads have it
I'm a little disappointed by this but i'm getting used to it. It's a better typing experience than my ipad.
i'm surprised they took it out too, but you do get used to it after a while...

It seems your expections are not inline with reality. Clearly to meet the price at which the Nexus is sold at, some things had to go. Personally I don't use a tablet to take pictures when I'm out, so I don't give a crap about rear facing camera.
Google and Asus have done a solid job of identifying what can go, what they can skrimp on, and what they shouldn't skrimp on, and a s a result, the Nexus FEELS and PERFORMS like a premium tablet without a premium price...
If you want a tablet with all the premium bells and whistles, you will have to pay a premium price. That is the harsh reality.
I would have been shocked if there was haptic feedback.
200. 200. Seriously people. My phone retailed for 700 and the nexus 7 will probably kick its butt when it arrives.

The OG Asus Transformer didn't have haptic feedback. It's a nice luxury don't get me wrong, but no a nessesity IMO.

The iPad is $400 with no haptic feedback. Maybe Google thought we don't need it.
Didn't have haptic feedback on my OG Transformer, GTab 2 7", or this. Not shocked in the least, nor do I care. One less point of failure.
You won't find anything better near this price point.

That is exactly how I feel. My dad takes pictures with his TF201 and I make fun of him for holding up a tablet to take pictures when he has an excellent Canon camera..
The tablet also does not vibrate when a new message comes in, or a notification gets pushed.
Thats fine, as I normally turn that off to save on power... this isn't a problem with most games as any good vibration feedback can be regained through a Playstation SIXAXIS controller.
Just a few more weeks and these threads will stop.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I never thought about haptic feedback on a tablet, though I think the Iconia A100 had it. I always turned it off, along with the typing noises.
First thing I do when I get a new phone is find out how to turn "haptic feedback" aka annoying vibrating battery wasting rumble pack, OFF!
The fact that it doesnt have haptop feedback at all, is probably the best news for me I have read about this device today :victory:

Your sample size must be quite small then. A lot of tablets(including the high end ones like the ipad you mentioned) do not have haptic feedback. You expectations are pretty high for the type of device you were looking at. And besides, lack of softkeys is a design choice not a missing feature. Google has been pushing the buttonless android device for a long time.
I don't have one yet but was a surprise to me to know that it does not have a vibration motor, anyway I believe that the only use on which I could miss that is while playing games, don't you?
other than that I think is ok?
The back camera, well, I really think that was a mistake due to the size of this tablet, I can imagine 10' tablets without the rear camera but this one?
First thing I do with any device I buy is disable haptic feedback
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
I'm with a few others, first thing I do is disable typing sounds and haptic feedback.
I never understood the point of a rear facing camera on a tablet anyway. Way to cumbersome for practical use. I've only used the one on my A500 once or twice just playing around. A phone ok, but not a tablet. As far as the haptic feedback, I didn't know the Nexus didn't have it. Not that it matters. It's still an awesome device!! No regrets!

I have been going around and around with these devices. I got the TAB 2 7 P3100 3G from the wife for Christmas after researching both. I could not make up my mind and Christmas was coming quickly so I asked her for the more expensive P3100 (LOL) and I already have a samsung device in the Note 2.
But was still very interested in the Nexus since I have been reading nothing but great things about it. Now this may not be a fair comparison because the TAB is a 3G device that is invisible to my carrier ATT. However I will put that aside and share my impressions after playing with the Nexus solely for the last day and a half.
When I initially put the TAB 2 next to my Note, my jaw dropped at the "washed out" colors on the TAB compared to the Note 2. This lit the Nexus fire and I had to get one now especially since I read and heard nothing but great things about the Nexus screen, When I saw a One day only sale at the Adorama Store on Ebay on New Years day for $229 shipped I jumped at it and ordered an accessories package on Ebay (which has yet to arrive). I immediately put the TAB on Ebay for a high "Buy It Now only price (in the "unlikely" event i would not like the Nexus 7) I am glad now no one bought it after playing with the Nexus over the past couple days.
Initially I loved the all black look of the Nexus with the screen off vs the framed TAB. (small meaningless detail) I also appreciated the slightly narrower form factor and feel of the back cover. The glass was perfect. No build issues here. Looked great although I am not the type who "wears" my phones and devices. I use them.
I immediately unlocked it, flashed a custom recovery and flashed ParanoidAndroid on it. Very nice. I played with it for a day or so. This afternoon I finally I put the TAB side by side with the Nexus and found the Nexus was faster but not all that much. Not enough to say "wow" Certainly not as much as I thought it would be.
What stopped me in my tracks and gave me major pause was when I put the same picture up on the Nexus I initially compared with my Note 2 and had all three side by side. The Note was still much better. No suprise there. But this time the TAB and Nexus were very much the same. The Nexus was not as I had expected. The colors were not nearly as saturated as the Note and in fact almost identical to the TAB on all screen brightness settings In fact I could not tell them apart from a color saturation standpoint. I could however appreciate the denser pixel count on the Nexus when zooming in especially. But Needless to say i expected a much much better screen color quality and much much closer to the Note 2 in color quality. The Note 2 screen is amazing I guess.
USB OTG worked great on both but I don't need it on the TAB with 70GB of usable storage. vs <30GB. I initially had issue with the 64GB card in the TAB which pushed me into the nexus as well early on. But that has been solved. That along with the 3G and phone abilities of the TAB leading me to decide the TAB was the better of the two to keep for my needs.
Initially I thought the choices of ROMs the Nexus development community offered would be a plus but I usually find one ROM and stick with it. I can always get the CM 10 and AKOP ROMS for the TAB along with the TW ROMs.
The front camera on the Nexus is not as good as the rear camera on the TAB although the difference was about as much as the front cameras between the TAB and Nexus. All of them are nothing special. (although I am old enough to remember when 3MB camera was a great addition to a phone!!)
The thing I did like about the Nexus is the USB port but I have loaded up with Samsung "proprietary" USB Cables
and OTG accessories.
All that said the TAN IS A 3g devices and a phone. IF The TAB were the US non 3G model the decision would be much harder. But I would likely lean in its direction because I am used to Samsungs recovery and download modes (although Fastboot took all of 30 seconds to figure out) I expected a whole lot more from the color density and the screen on the Nexus, At the end of the day the additional storage along with the camera possibilities won me over. I am not a gamer so the quad core would likely not be a factor although I did run Need for Speed on the TAb to test it initially and it ran fine.
This is not a knock on the Nexus. It is a great device and for the money the best on paper. but for me anyway the difference were not enough to give up the advantages of the extra storage and free phone and 3G capability, which I could have done anyway using the Note as a hot spot with the Nexus,

Yeah I really didn't pay much attention to the screen specs. I assumed the Nexus would be much better than the TAB likely because of the Pixel density if nothing else. I think if Google/Asus would have put ExtSD capability, headset microphone, and maybe even a better front camera, I would keep the Nexus for the form factor alone.
Once all the 360 case and the rest of the Nexus candy gets here I will throw it all up on Ebay. Thankfully there are AKOP ROMS available for the Samsung.

Just be lucky you weren't like me.
Bought the Acer iconia a110, was cheap and had similar specs to n7 with hdmi out and sdcard slot.
Played with it for a bit....turned out it wasn't for me. Screen looked terrible, it weighed quite abit more than my 7, brought it back (was an 8gb model) to find the nexus 7 calling my name. I bought the 32gb model with no regrets, great device for the price in my opinion.
Edit : I always see people are complaining about the n7 not having a back camera, seriously a tablet is no device meant for mad photography. Get a nikkon or some **** lol. Front camera is 'OK' Good enough for my Skype calls with my lady :thumbup:

I wouldn't have minded a back camera on the N7 for Skype. My wife travels a lot and when we Skype I use my phone so I can flip back and forth on the cameras so she can see our baby playing and generally being cute. I could also imagine in the business world it would be useful to show clients whatever in a video conference call. Even if it was a cheap 2.0 megapixel camera, that would have been fine.

I think the N7 is a great tablet, one of the best and considered the best by some users. You can run almost any app/game without any lag and if you overclock the cpu, it will be even more powerful. First, I wanted to buy a more expensive device, but I looked over N7's performance and price and this was my final choice. I don't regret it!
Lol I hope you are okay with waiting forever for a new update and having your device stop being updated after about a year. Sorry but its just the cold hard truth. We will keep getting updates as son as they are released for quite a while but Samsung has quite a reputation for slacking on updates and dropping devices soon after release.

Nice review, but you left out one of the most important aspects of any comparison: price. You make it sound like the Tab and the N7 are on equal footing in almost all aspects, but when one costs almost twice what the other costs and you leave that fact out, you are doing a disservice to the readers. On that basis, this is not a fair comparison. I bought the N7 over the Tab 2 because I didn't want or need 3G and I didn't want or need to spend close to $500 for what I wanted a tablet for. When I compared all the specs and credible reviews, the N7 was perfect for my needs and budget. It has not disappointed.
The p3100 runs on your att, which is great. Swap Sims and you're good to go. Since this is the GSM you have a lot more Dev support than the CDMA variant. AOKP is there as well as CM. They have it oc to 1.4 as well. If this suits your needs then run with it, more power to you. I like to stay on the newest builds, that's why I chose what I did. After having many phones by HTC and Samsung and constantly having to choose what I can live without (newest build, working camera, reboots, etc.) I bought a galaxy nexus so I don't constantly wait on manufacturer and carrier hold ups (like my note skyrocket evo, evo 3D) and I am happy. Which is why I went with the nexus 7. When I first saw the HTC jetstream and Samsung note 10.1 I had the itch to buy them. Luckily I didn't, the jetstream is and will forever be on honeycomb and there hasn't been any major Dev work for a year. If you don't need to have the latest and greatest as soon as you can get your paws on it then go with the tab, I would have huge regrets if I chose the one that may not get the next release.
Anyways that's my 2¢ either way you can't go wrong if that is what suits your needs in a 7".
On a side note, you can always eBay your note and tab and get the 3g note 10.1 just food for thought

I completely agree and I mentioned that but on the face of it the Galaxy Tab 7 without 3g would still be a better choice for me for the reasons I indicated. But I only spent $350 dollars for the Tab 3G. Nowhere near $500. I read a lot of reviews and read this area of X DA, for a long time and decided I needed to have them both in front of me to make a decision. Which took about 2 days.

Oh I thought about that Note, 3G 10.1 but I don't want to carry around a tablet that big I bought one of those for my wife for Christmas as a musician she can use it for the playback tracks or sheet music and replace little Acer she's currently using or at least have a good Backup. I would love to see the Note come in a 6 inch phone version. I wouldn't need both the tablet and phone. In the meantime there's no way I would get rid of the Note 2.

that's not what i'm saying. We own a flagship device. Not only do we get the updates instantly, google releases the updates on their website with source so developers can make roms with ease. Its a lot easier to make a ROM for the latest update when google has given you the newest update source code already optimized for your device on a silver platter.

I'm a google fanboy, being a fanboy of the nexus is just a side effect. Get it right.

A true Google fanboy is a nexus fanboy.
And a true nexus fanboy is a nexus 7 fanboy
And vice-versa.
So one implies the other assuming "true" fanboyism.
Checkmate.

This is hands down the phone I've been waiting for! Perfect screen size with a great processor and stock android. This phone is fantastic. I've had soooo many phones in the past year it's insane. Galaxy note 2 and 3 galaxy s4 htc one Sony xperia z ultra HTC one again galaxy note 3 again and none have made me happy. Alot has to do with ask the bloat that those phones have. I don't know how to root devices and play with the software. All I've wanted was a nice die phone that's snappy and smooth with a nice size screen and stock android. I now have it and couldn't be happier. I'm a little scared as to how the battery life will be as I'm a heavy internet user but time will tell. Gonna order a wireless charger and case now.

If you're looking for a budget wireless charger that gets the job done and is a trusted name then purchase the Nokia DT-900 (it's about $25 from at&t) and if you're looking for one that tilts then get the DT-910.
I have the DT-910 and it's wonderful. Stay away from off brand chargers because it can damage you're phone or even cause a fire!
Welcome to this wonderful community and enjoy your Nexus 5!

Its normal to receive the Nexus 5 when you order a Nexus 5. Its not a lottery
I'd be really annoyed if I was waiting for a nexus 5 and something else arrived
+1 for dt-910

If you plan on rooting the device read the first 4 threads well in the General section before you do anything

Coming from N4 I know all I needed was to download the recovery.img and then start downloading roms. =w=
All you need is ADB/Fastboot

Sorry for not recognizing the sheer magitude of your wisdom, the N5 though will be flagged when unlocking/rooting which the N4 didn`t have, you can reset it though but i`am sure you allready know that
Your just to funny. Have you nothing better to do. I don't want to get thrown off the forum so I'll keep some of my choice words to myself.

Congrats! And Enjoy!

To OP: Congrats on getting a great phone. I really would suggest unlocking and rooting to get the most out of the phone tho. Xposed + GravityBox really make the phone even better. With those you don't even need to go the custom ROM route.
To the people being DICKS in this thread: Really? Get a life.
Coming from a s3 and now got the nexus 5 I can't be happier no more lag or waiting a minate for my contacts to open and now its instant
Coming from S3 att with AOKP. I love everything except lose buttons and smaller grill mic and speaker. reading reading reading now before unlock/install/root.
I am not familiar with Xposed. should I go with roms or Xposed. I want my phone to be fast and just work.

What now?
I actually wanted to thank you for this though. I didn't know about the flagging issue until you mentioned about it. :highfive:
No worries, no harm done! Its always a good time for beer(or whiskey) !
Welcome to the club! I've owned a ton of handsets in the past few years and this is the only one I haven't rooted in the first week because it just works so beautifully as is. Haven't had one issue (other then loose power button, can't win em all). I get the itch to root and fiddle now and then but then I can't bring myself to do it as its just perfect for me as is. I'm sure eventually the modder in me will win out and I'll tinker with it to all hell and back, but for now, just enjoying the ride.

I'd definitely play around with Xposed before flashing a ROM. At least for me it has completely eliminated the need to flash any custom ROMs. I am stock rooted + Xposed on all 3 of my Android devices and I wouldn't have it any other way. GravityBox is the first module you should try, as it has a TON of features. You get the benefits of staying stock (stability, bug free) but get to add whatever features you want to your stock ROM. I can't stress how awesome Xposed is, and it really was a game changer for me.
