Perhaps someone can help me but I seem to have this quest for any shiny new tablet, I have had several Tablet from the Archos 70, HTC FLyer through to Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 to 10.1" and have kept them from couple of weeks to few months before the novelty wears out, but I just could not resist the nexus when it was announced that I had to pre-order 2!! just in-case.
I keep asking myself if I really need one and I am trying to find a use/excuse for one... nonetheless I ll still buy one if only to root and install ad-blocker so that I can play Angry Bird Ad Free!!!.
Buy the Nexus 7 to run the Eliza Android app. (google it)
It will help analyze why you have this abnormal fixation with shiny new gadgets.
Good luck on finding a cure!
Well to me if you did not like or did not have a use for the Galaxy Tab 7 the Nexus 7 will be the same aside from the better processor.
But only time will tell really as we cant really tell you what YOU will like :laugh:
what makes you turn away from the tablets your buy? Is it that your phone is so much easier to use or is it that bezel :silly:
If you have the disposable income and it's not hurting anything then why worry about it? I've had the iPad 1, iPad 2, Nook Color, Nook Tablet, Nook Touch, Galaxy Tab 7+, and the Galaxy Tab 8.9. I end up either reselling them or giving them away when I'm done with them, and I pre-ordered the Nexus 7 without any hesitation.
Yes there is something wrong with you, and for you to post here you must be conscious of that matter...to feel normal I recommend you give the one to me so we can form a circle of gadget addicts lol
On a serious note, just enjoy it

I've got a 32GB iPad 2 and I'm considering selling it and buying a Nexus 7. By the time I've bought the N7 and paid shipping, I wouldn't have much cash left from what my iPad sold for.
But ... that shiny, shiny new toy!
Because it is a tablet made by Google running the latest version of the greatest mobile os in the universe.--- that alone did it for me ...per ordered mine last Friday

If you do not mind relying on cloud storage, or mainly stream media, read books and browse the Web, the N7 is solid. I will stick with the View 32gb with a 64gb card, since still a nice tab.
I have the TF300 too, so less compelled. Must admit I would have bought one though if had micro sd.

Yes, there is something seriously wrong with you. To help alleviate your issue, send me your N7 & after receiving said N7 from you. I'll perform my mumbo jumbo on you & I'll even throw in signed certification, stating your issue has been resolved. :silly:
$200 for a wifi tab with only 8gb.I can justify the no camera, the no LTE or even
HSPA+, the 7" form factor, and the no super ips I really want one. But the no SD is a deal breaker and seriously, **** Tegra. I want a quad core krait or even an exynos. And Google's developer device gunning for the kindle fire is a quiet acknowledgment that iPad owns the 10" segment.
I have a 15 " MacBook pro (for school) my old laptop running Windows 8 just for fun, then I have a Asus transformer tf101 with dock for portable productivity, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" , and Samsung Galaxy s II . I will probably sell the 7"Samsung since its only dual core and has the 10" tablet UI which really is not great on a smaller tablet. So I am really excited about the "hybrid UI" as Google called on the nexus 7.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using XDA Premium HD app
What the OS needs is a TON of installed user base, so that developers get rewarded for the time, in a way close to the iOS. Selling a lot of quad core systems for $199 will hopefully show numbers of installed base that wake some people up. If it sells as well as it should, your going to want a Tegra3 device at that resolution because that is what everything will target.
For example, I saw a post that one of the game dev's who have ignored TFP compatibility is now saying they will be developing for the N7.
I expect my TFP 201 to benefit somewhat from the sales numbers this should do, given the hardware is basically the same. Also given ASUS made the thing, I would imagine getting JB faster than most on the prime will be a near sure thing.

Why?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Not sure if I have buyer's remorse, but the Nexus 7 seems a little redundant to have if I already own a Galaxy Nexus. Considering the screen size is only 2" bigger, not really sure how much I'm gaining.
I already have a Touchpad, so that only adds to the redundancy...
I would have said you are truly blessed...
The Nexus for tethering, and the Nexus 7 for a far better reading / movie experience, not to mention web browsing.
When you get your tablet, come back and let us know how you like the pair.
I've already got a Galaxy Nexus, a Transformer Prime, and a Nook Color. Talk about redundancy, lol.
I wasn't planning on getting the Nexus 7, but the Nook Color just isn't doing it for me as a carputer anymore, so I'm giving it the boot in favor of the 7. Should be fun.
I've got a Galaxy Nexus with unlimited data, bring on the hot spot!

Me too. Should be good. Haha. I'd be even more happy if it was a 10" tab.
I'm pretty excited about both devices having NFC. I'm planning on setting up my GNex & N7 so that I just get in my car and bump them together to get everything ready to go:
- Enable hotspot on the phone
- Turn on WiFi on the tablet
- Turn on bluetooth on the tablet (for connection to car stereo, torque, etc)
- Launch Torque on the tablet
- etc.
There are probably apps that could do all this, but I think I might build something small and lightweight myself just to play around with NFC.

I am hoping that Jellybean makes it run like it should have when I bought it back in December. Fingers crossed.

i ordered the N7 and want to get a Nexus I currently have a Galaxy S Blaze 4G and will prolly look to sell it in a few weeks so i can pick up the Nexus
Do you still use your TF201? Or miss it if you sold it?
I bought the TF201 with keyboard dock in mid February. I was, like every other Prime owner, very stoked to own one. The most powerful and expensive Android tablet, first with Tegra 3, ICS, keyboard dock, etc. I loved blowing peoples minds when I'd pull the screen apart from the keyboard. It was like my second child.
I sold that thing as soon as the Nexus 7 started shipping. I was hesitant at first because I kept thinking about how going from a Prime to a 7" with NO ports, no camera, no storage expansion, would be a downgrade.
So, I realized that any other tablet that was out around the beginning of July was just blah to me. The only thing better than the Prime was the Asus Infinity, and it was just a Prime with a higher res screen. Meh.
I got my Nexus 7 and do not miss the Prime one bit. Between the **** WiFi and GPS, and the bug ridden software,and the fact that I got this kick ass piece of N7 tech for $200, I feel like I got raped on the Prime.
The only way I might possibly use the Prime if I still had it, would be to play Asphalt 7 or Dead Trigger via HDMI on my TV. Other than that, don't miss her at all!
The Nexus 7 is something fresh, and it does deserve all the praise it's getting. When I can honestly say that I prefer the $200 Nexus over a $650 high end flagship device, I call that an epic frickin win!
Do you miss your Transformer?!
Hell no man. I am in the same boat as you. I am finding the 7 inch form factor with the Logitech BT keyboard is a killer combo.
I only miss the micro SD and HDMI. But the price difference and usability far make up for those things fortunately. And I have mine rooted with stickmount so I can use SD cards and what not so that helps.

Lol nice! Yea between the 7" size and me actually buying some music, magazines, and books because of the $25 credit, I'm using my Nexus for more and more, and using it differently than all my other tablets. I also think it kicks the Primes ass in performance, and I flashed every TF201 ROM/kernel/mod there is. But comparing both out of the box I think N7 gets it.
I'm so happy with the Nexus, I have no plans (yet) to even root, unlock, or flash Roms. And I'm a flash whore
I have to admit, I do want to enable the full tablet UI on the Nexus. So right now that would be the only reason to root.
Just curious...since there are a few different ways to root, which method did you use?
I hated my Prime with a passion. The only thing I hated more than my Prime was my Xoom. It felt cheap and was plagued with bugs. It was the, dare I say Prime of the android tablets, but that wasn't saying much at all. Sold both of them and got the retina iPad and although it was running iOS it was a much much much better tablet experience. It is my new baby and doesn't let me down. I had turned away from android (/in tablets not in phones I love my Galaxy Nexus) and wasn't ever going to look back. That was until the Nexus 7 launched. I mean I back during the rumors I always felt I was going to get one I mean a sub $200 Nexus branded 7 inch tablet what Android enthusiast wouldn't, right? Well, I was blown away by the Google Nexus 7 announcement at IO and ordered it a few minutes after I could. I got it and I love it. It doesn't feel like a stale old android tablet at all and I think Jelly Bean and Project Butter are the main reasons.
I still have my iPad around and it is still my favorite tablet, but the Nexus is great for reading and the Dev community is going to be great. I'm still not a giant fan of ASUS hardware, but this feels much better built than the Prime any day. The display isn't the greatest especially when having the better than great retina, but those are small things I can get over especially considering the cost. The only thing I'm really having a rough time with is the same thing I've always had a rough time with android and that's the severe lack of not just tablet apps but apps in general. I hate to beat a dead horse, but after months with iOS and the great apps and developers on that platform it feels like taking a giant leap backwards. I mean the 7 inch form factor does make the apps better than on any 10 inch tablet but still it just feels stale. Right now its just a great toy, excellent ereader and developer device as I continue to learn to code. Let's hope the popularity of this device brings some great apps. I'm glad you are all loving your Nexus 7 as much as I have.

Its a Nexus man just plug it in and cd to the SDK and type fastboot oem unlock. Unlock your device. Through fastboot flash your recovery and install superuser and your good to go. No exploits to worry bout at all. It was the first thing I did when pulling it out of the box. I'm still running the stock out of the box 4.1.1 software image, but that's because it is so great. Mine was a little laggy while flipping through home screens so I'm running Apex launcher and that is honestly all I've done. Its been great and Jelly Bean really is much better than ICS and I won't use any phone or tablet unless it is the Nexus branded type. I just can't stand the bastardized skins and being always at least one full android version behind.

I hear ya. When I went to buy a new tablet in February, I was told that Primes couldn't even be ordered at the time. So I went thru 3 tablets in 9 days. When I went to exchange the 3rd tab for something else, there was nothing else. I actually considered just buying an iPad, but being a hardcore fandroid, I didn't. I was then told I could order a Prime so I did. Happy as can be for a few months. Well, last week the wife brought home her company iPad 3, and yes, it was very nice. Long story short, I sold my Prime for $460, bought an 8GB Nexus 7, and a mint black 16GB iPad 2 off Craigslist for $225 We now have a Kindle fire, Samsung GTab 8.9, Nexus 7, HTC Hero S, and a lonely iPad.
Nope I haven't touched mine since I got my new nexus. Prime is getting sold off me thinks.

I was hesitant at first to give up all the Primes premium features,like the HDMI,camera,SD slots, but I realized I never used them that much. I don't regret my choice one bit. Especially since I just installed the camera launcher app, just in case I need to capture a shot of my 2 year old daughter. Love my sexus Nexus
I had two primes, ASUS bought them back from me, and I don't miss them. One of them had the glass cracking while docked problem, and I did not trust that the second one would not do the same thing. Too expensive of a device for all it's short comings. I now have three 7's in the family. Good little units, only problems is the left side screen lift issues.
Shame on ASUS they need a better assembly/quality control process.....
i still have my prime. unlocked and running Androwook 2.1 with motley alpha kernel with overclock. its been running great. i will say i find myself using the nexus 7 more often. this device more than exceeded my expectations on it. it runs great. i have it unlocked also. running stock jb rom with motley linaro kernel with GPU & CPU overclock. runs like a champ. i would never get rid of my prime just to get a nexus. ill keep both ill eventually pass off the prime and get something else to replace it down the road.
Sold my prime and KB dock right away. Don't miss it at all.

Nice that is one hell of a trade if you ask me. You basically traded the Prime (which is not a great tablet in my opinion after own in about 5 months) for the two best tablets on the market. I love my combination of retina iPad and Nexus 7. I honestly use them both all the time. My Galaxy Nexus has pretty much been a dedicated LTE hotspot, my iPhone 4s my texting and phone, and my Macbook Pro basically just sits there with my PS Vita. After a year and a half with the Xoom and Prime I kick myself for not just getting an iPad 2, but it makes me appreciate both my tablets all the much more now. Android tablets really aren't that great at all and Google sees that and is making an attempt to fix the wrongs the OEMs have done over the past year and a half.
I love my Nexus for reading it is the perfect size and weight. The only things I would change is the display to one comparable to the displays apple uses and the extreme lack of apps. Honestly though I can deal with that as it is only $200 and to be honest if I'm going to use apps I will use them on my retina iPad. There is no comparison when it comes to android vs apple on the application front. I hope that changes, but for now its something we have to deal with.

Your all talking about selling the prime, unless you need the money, wait until aosp/cm10 has come a bit further, unlock that ***** and throw jelly bean on it....that'll really unlock the potential of it. It's still a great device its just severly handicapped by Asus making us practically beta testers.

I am uncertain as to what I would do with more than the 600,000 apps provided to me by the android ecosystem and therefore see no reason to spend excess money on an apple product. In other news, I have been pretty much consistently hands on the nexus 7 since I got it last Tuesday.

From your point of view does it make any sense to you buying a nexus 7 when you already own a Galaxy s3 since it is already that big? Wonder whether it makes that much of a difference after all.
Looking forward to what you are thinking about that!
Thanks!
i dont understand??? the gs3 is half the size of the N7...one is a phone the other a tab...N7 is pure google gs3 is samsung ui...
what are you trying to do with this thread???
If I had an S3 or or a Galaxy Nexus I probably wouldn't have gone for the N7. And now I have an N7, I am not bothering updating my old phone just yet.
I just wouldn't bother having 2 devices that do almost all the same things but people have different feelings and different needs.
But I have never really understood the device vs device thing anyway and too many people seem too concerned with what devices other people choose.
If you are happy with your choice, what does it matter?
I'm actually considering a smaller screen phone for my next phone. Simply because I do have the N7 and probably will always have a tablet with or near me...

I have both & they compliment each other for my use. I use the GS3 as my portable hotspot for the N7. There's a big difference in size if that's what you're wondering.
Depends, what phone do you currently have

I don't see the comparison between the Nexus 7 and GS3 they can co-exist. Now Galaxy note vs Nexus 7 could be a different story

I just can't decide.
Nexus 7 and iPhone 5
OR
Galaxy S3 and iPad 4 or new Mini 8 inch iPad tablet (no Retina display)
Both combos have pluses minuses, I love the Tegra 3 THD games although you can find the apk files they still stutter a bit.
I own the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7 and almost never use my Galaxy Nexus unless I'm out and about because the N7 is just so much nicer to use. Still happy I have both though as Verizon 4G is great for tethering.

What he said.
I have an SGS3 that goes everywhere I go and my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 goes most places as well. My wife does the same with her i4 and N7 as does our son with his phone & Nook Color (CM9).
All of the devices have their place and I would not readily replace any of the phones with any of the tablets or vice-versa. I/we don't (yet) have a larger tablet but if there were, say, a 13" device, I could easily see it (with Bluetooth keyboard & track pad) replacing a general-purpose laptop.

From your point of view does it make any sense to you buying a nexus 7 when you already own a Galaxy s3 since it is already that big? Wonder whether it makes that much of a difference after all.

Galaxy S3 is not that big.
How comfortable is it to read from the S3? Because N7 functions quite well as a reader. But if you're already ok with it, maybe there isn't much point after all.
I have sgs3, and thinking to buy N7. Would someone with both devices be so kind to take few photos and put it here, as reference. Of course, few words of experience with those devices is welcome.
Thanks

Even owning a Note (as a tablet too small, as a phone too big?) wasn't enough, my SGS3 is a hefty screen "phone". But the N7 is still a right size tablet device for me.
I can't read, enjoy XDA/forums, watch movies/anime on the SGS3's comparatively "small" screen.
IMO YMMV,
-CC
I have both and both are great devices. For games nexus 7 screen size is great as well as for browsing the screen size is better than S3. S3 looks big when you don't have Nexus 7. To be honest the difference of screen size between a note and S3 is a lot of difference although on paper looks small and Nexus 7 is even more bigger and ideal size to hold and type in two hands. What S3 lacks is jelly bean and if you don't own a nexus 7 then you don't know how good jelly bean is as compared to ICS. Since I bought the nexus 7 my S3 and iPad 3 both are just sitting on table collecting dust. These days I am caring S3 whenever I go out of house just because it is phone not because it is S3.
Rest is up to you that what you want from your device. Both devices are very different and there is no comparison. Believe me 4.8 inch screen is not that big in front of bigger devices. Once you get N7 you would probably forget about your S3

First world problem: I don't see the point of tablet because my phone is too big
I have both

not a fair comparison I think...
vote for SGS3!
hes not asking for comparison, he is asking if owning both gs3 and n7 would make their functions overlap

hey guys, need a little advice here.
I spontaneously bought the Tab 2 7.0 for Black Friday, but I've been looking at the Nexus 7 for a while now. What should I choose?
I like the touchwiz features but the cleanness of stock android. I use my tablet for: music, facebook, instagram, games, memos, reading, watching netflix. Is it worth the extra $40? (Tab was $160 for me)
Thanks

Go with the Nexus 7, you won't regret it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Yes yes yes yes. The extra $40 is well worth the cost of N7, & the speed/upgradability is much better on the N7.
get the nexus unless you MUST HAVE tv out.. for 13.00 you can get hdmi dock for gtab...the g tab also has the ir remote dual cameras and sd card slot. thou no ap/to sd .
Ours has 8 gb its slower then nexus but runs ok... My spouse Bonnie Loves the Ir blaster remote .But i hear it only works with some cable companies .Ours its great..
The nexus is twice as fast 16 or 32 gb storage (32 gb is what mine is). Its well worth the extra money ...
you decide...
I love the touch wiz stuff but I have the SGS3 so I get my fix there so I opted for the nexus. I will say this the WiFi tab2 is getting Jellybean right now so if you like the tab that will def be a nice addition. Also weigh the no SD/SD card situation to me for what I use my tablet for its not important as I use alot of cloud. To other's it could be important.

Had a GTab 2 7" before switching to a Nexus 7 and couldn't be happier after switching.

Have you seen the specs on the gtab? They suck hard... :-/ get the N7
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
N7 is worlds better overall in specs and support.
-Brought to you by Marino's Nexus 7-
Just keep the galaxy tab and install cm10 on it. Its officially supported and its essentially a WiFi galaxy nexus hardware wise and has the very dev friendly omap soc.

If you were only going tu use it for media consumption I'd say stick with the GTab but since you also want to do gaming I'd recommend you spend the extra $40 and get pretty much the top of the line (at 7 inches). Actually if possible you should spend $90 and get a 32gig because graphic intensive games will kick the **** out of your 16gig really fast.

Nexus 7 ahoo.
I too was considering N7 and Tab 2 7.0. I was looking for a used one on CL. I actually wanted the Tab 2 more than the N7 due to the expandable memory and lower cost. However, long story short, I got the N7 and have no regret because I don't miss what I never had (what I never had being the Tab 2). I'm sure I'll work something out to overcome the lack of expandable memory.

Also, you're gonna get a lot of biased answers here because you're asking the question in the N7 forum.
I think they are both brilliant devices for the money. I had the original galaxy tab when it first came out and loved it. I really do think Samsung make some top quality hardware. I have a nexus 7 now and I do love stock android, I also went for the 32gb model for £199 so that will more than accommodate my storage needs.
I have a galaxy s3 for my Samsung fix so that's why I ended up choosing the nexus 7.
I'd stick with what you have for now mate and get your moneys worth. Something new is bound to emerge after Christmas and then you will probably puck a nexus 7 up for peanuts.

Let's say this... I had the OG Tab 7,and it never got updated past Froyo. Samsung abandoned it.
The Nexus 7 is sure to get multiple updates straight from Google as soon as they come out.
If you keep the tab 2 7.0, you are probably going to have to root it and put aokp 5 on it. Stock is a little slow. And someone stated that the tab 2 7.0 had TV out, I don't believe that it does. I have had it since launch day.

Well the tab 2.0 has jellybean now so no abandonment there

I am a big Samsung Galaxy fan! Having said that I wanted to have one Nexus Device to have the stock Android and quick updates. The Nexus 7 is that device for me once Google came out with the 32GB! So far it is working well for me!

Hdmi dock from amazon is 13.00... We have one for my spouses tab2.7 . she uses the dock for charging next to our bed. She loves the tab because of the peel remote.. I just installed jelly bean 4.1.2 on it a few days ago.
Its a ok tablet for most things you would want such as surfing the web and simple games and social networking.
I do love my nexus 7 32 gb.. now have it dual booting with linux stock 4.2 and i have a 3rd book i can try and flash new roms without flashing my everyday use stuff..
In my opinion the tab 2.7 is better built then the nexus 7 but runs at a slower clock speed.. If there was a 7 in ch version of the note . i would be in love .. mybe some techno lust..
Love N7 so much
