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.

Aye, not discontinued but waiting for Asus to make more

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.

Hahahahahahahahaha good one. You get a thanks for that one buddy!

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

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.

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,

If you want your information stolen, hacked, or get scammed then you should try it and let us know. Trust me I learned the hard way and I wasn't pleasant. If it is too good to be true than it probably is. :silly:
If you do decide to order then here is what my prediction is going to be. After completing the order (this is after they get all your info), you receive and email saying they are out of stock and they'll have to cancel your order. You'll be like darn but go with your life. Weeks or months later down the road, BAM! your credit cards gets an unauthorized charge and the nightmare begins. One advice I can give you from my ordeal is that you should never trust online retailers no matter how authentic it looks (the website looks way fishier compared to the one the got me) and should only stick with proven vendors like Amazon, Google Play Store,Staples, Office Depot, etc.

Yeah, registered by some French lady in April this year, so only 4 months old.

Ok well im certainly not buying this one im 16 and dont have the money to risk. I looked at some website saftey site and it said that it was 47 percent safe. To me that sounds like there is a 50 percent chance that i would actually get a nexus 7 if i ordered it from there.

HAHAHAH! This is hilarious. First of all, the tablet pictured there is basically a perfect square, not to mention the lack of any credible contact information. I say go for it. If anything, you'll learn a valuable lesson (about $175 worth of a lesson).

There is no checkout button to begin with!

Anyone get this yet? Is it legitimate? Review?

I love the way that looks and folds into the screen too,
however is it safe buying from the seller considering they are based in China and i read there are a lot of scammers on alibaba/aliexpress

i have a similar one buyed a year ago,it look like the kb in this links above...and personally i can't use it due to the less spaced buttons and phisical dimensions of it too little..

All of these keyboards are built cheap but still work decently. I've bought a couple like this and the knot real complaint I have is that they are a lot smaller than you think. Its pretty annoying to type on.

Thank you for the input. A local consumer electronics store "Best Browse" may have a 7 inch net book around. Probably comparable in size. I think I'll give that a shot to see how cramped it may be. Worst case scenario I'll have a $25-$30 hard shell case. Best case scenario it is a decent keyboard to get some typing done when there isn't a full keyboard around.

How is this much better than the portrait keyboard?

I work in a store that sell elektronic accesories and we have this for the ipad. It's quite good quality. But the pad is quite unprotected when folded.
I have only tested it a few times and can't speak anything about battery time.
Hope this helps a bit.
And i had some experience with aliexpress. And the sellers that had a few reviews that i barted with have done their job. I haven't had any problem with them. Always got my goods, maybe quite late sometimes, but I got them.

Different tablet, different size, etc. There are a lot of factors that can determine it. The blatantly obvious one would be that the Nexus 7 is 7' not 10 with the iPad.
I'm interested in one, however I'm waiting for reviews to appear. If it turns out to work great, I'll get one to take notes in class with.

Will the 32gb be fixed of the defects and flaws?

I sent my third N7 back today. This time for a refund instead of a replacement, since clearly that was going nowhere (what a wasted four weeks).
Anyway, the iPad Mini should be announced tomorrow, and the 32gb Nexus is already guaranteed.
I know it's impossible to say what the iPad Mini will be like, but I'm still assuming the Nexus will be better for me. I prefer Android, the build quality is superb (besides about eighty million manufacturing flaws), it does everything I want, etc.
So now that I've got my $250 back (minus shipping...), is it safe to buy the 32gb Nexus 7 after it gets announced?
There's no WAY Google/Asus could begin production of another model without working out the flaws of the previous ones, right?
Right, guys?
oh god please say that's right.
Do you know my most secret, terrible fear?
...I'm afraid that the 32gb Nexus 7's will be only partly new, with the rest of them just being used and returned N7's with the SSD replaced. I mean, Asus must have SO many, right? They've got 3 from me alone, sitting on a shelf, used, unable to be sold like "new" again... unless they're refurbished, fitted with more memory, and resold... oh god that's so terrifying.

Dude, there are 4 threads on the first page alone relating to the 32GB version that this could have been posted in instead of clogging up the first page with redundant thread topics.
To answer your question. No one can answer your question.

Anything that is mass produced on the level of these products is bound to have defects. No one can say for sure if it will have defects or not. Last I saw there is about 3 million of them sold. So at a 1% defect rate that is 30k units with a defect. Seems like a lot, but not when you consider total sold. I would venture to say the defect rate is probably closer to a half a percent.

What flaws? All mine are fine...
Sounds like a troll or a drama queen....

Thx dimebagdan65! I will let the harassment begin! I updated the OP with images of a brown version. I can do black if need be. I think the brown works best just for continuity's sake though.

I agree, the brown inside looks very nice. The price is reasonable considering it's handmade. Personally I'd never spend 40% of the price of an item to protect it, but that's me.
