Hi everyone
I commute to work into the city every day.On the train I see the usual suspects iPhone/ iPad Samsung galaxy and a shed load of Kindle touches.
With Nexus selling loads why do I feel so lonely? I have yet to spot anther Nexus7 user.Have any of you spotted one yet?If so when and where?
I've seen several. A friends of mine has one. At places like chick fil a and Atlanta bread they r a frequent.
I live in Alabama though.
War Eagle.
I've never met anybody in person with a nexus anything. That's one reason why I love the nexus line. It's a lot more rare to me and not "trendy". It's not a social status symbol.
I have yet to see one too! Although every iPad user I see is interested in my awesome tablet! :laugh:

Most places are still sold out of Nexus 7 so many would-be Nexus 7 owners have not gotten theirs yet. With that said, other devices such as iPad or Kindle have been out much longer so it's not really a fair comparison either.
Someone I saw had one yesterday, and I heard someone else say to him 'wow, its like a mini ipad'
Fuuuuuuuuuuu

I take mine down to the pub regularly and someone always says "wow! What a big phone!" or words to that effect.

I haven't seen any other then mine and the missus'.
Also, when I have shown it to other people, nobody has had any idea what it is and has never heard of it either!!
The general reaction is "is that like an iPad then?"

Downtown Boston, McDonald's. He had the 8 gb and we swapped apps. It was cool to talk to another N7 user. Although he wasn't that tech savvy... He had no idea what "landscape" and "potrait" was :-/

In my area the nexus 7 is super rare because I'm the only one who ordered one from the only gamestop in my area! Plus the rep that gave me my tab told me to stop in and tell him how it is because he wants to trade his iPad in for it!
Finally saw one on the underground in the UK last weekend no case naked nexus *tut* *tut*

I was asked one time while food shopping if my GNote was the ipad. If I didn't have ice cream and richie's slush that needed to go in the freezer asap he would have received a beating.

Mine is naked, I have a case coming from ebay. It has a screen protector though
I have to constantly explain to just about everyone why I have a nexus 7 instead of an ipad. Not only do I like it because it runs android and is a nexus devices, but am I the only one here who thinks that ipad is too big and heavy??
I know of only 1 person other than me with a nexus 7. Poor guy was harassed over questions about his 'mini ipad'

Nice we finally have a thread! I have a 16GB I got from someone at sulit.com, how about you OP and have you experienced any of the known issues? Issues I have experienced are the screen flicker and screen lift. Doing the glue fix temporarily did the job, but after a few days it lifted again. Thinking of having this checked at by ASUS, but I want to DIY fix it first (more fulfilling).
The thing is that I haven't really played much with it but so far so good no lift issues or anything. It's pretty handy though. I'm loving my collection of nexus devices

I think Google jus assumed the aftermarket would step up and offer docks for the nexus pogo pins but they have not. Now it looks like they are going to wireless charging which they should have done in the first place. The vzw Galaxy Nexus never really got a dock either fwiw.

It took Google forever to release a dock for the Galaxy Nexus. We know they were supposed to release one in September.....
I say wait until this Google event after the hurricane, if no news by then, you can start doubting if it will ever come out.
subscribed, i really hope so. need it for bedside clock and charging

If you guys haven't noticed Pink and Blue Nexus cases have appeared in the play store, so they haven't abandoned N7 accessories. Frustrating as hell though.

It's hard to imagine leaving this much money on the table.
At this point I'm convinced there won't be a dock, so I've bought a stand and am disappointed.

I'm willing to give it a last ditch hope, that MAYBE they want that new picture screen saver dock feature in Android 4.2 first.
Though I admit I'm beginning to sound delusional. I just can't imagine not making a dock for a product pushing one million units a month. Can't even fathom it.
I wouldn't be surprised if a dock is coming soon. The newer kernel branch has support, the older doesn't. There would be little reason to do this if they didn't plan to ship one.
With the new family of Nexus devices coming out I'm sure we'll see a dock soon.

Let's not forget it took Google 6 months to ship the dock for the Galaxy Nexus. They really suck at this.

It went up for sale, I ordered it, and then 4 days later it showed up on my doorstep. What's the story?
Why would they fill a blog with the fact that the nexus 5 sold well and are in short supply. It happens with lots of phones. Nothing new here.

This because it depends a lot on where you are and the stock levels as well...
Some people have a great experience but don't necessarily need to go on a forum to shout about it...
For what it's worth, in the UK, I ordered mine on a Thursday afternoon, received it the next day
The blogs and sites didn't report this either..

I don't think it's as big of an issue as you perceive it to be. I think the majority of people who ordered got their phone in a reasonable time. But LG can only crank these things out so fast, once Google's warehouse runs out, some unlucky people are gonna wind up waiting for the next shipload to come in. That's life...
Please use one of the existing shipping/ordering threads for this discussion

By in the wild, I mean seeing someone with a nexus 5 (maybe even a nexus 4) in your area.
Me, personally, I haven't seen one yet, which makes it even more unique that I may be the only person having KK 4.4

Just Mine in the two cities i live in and maybe i was the first one to own it in my whole country. I've had it for a month now. Lots of iphones and galaxys here but since there's no google play in the whole middle east and no shipping services to my country its really hard to get any nexus especially early at launch. Lucky for me i had a friend coming from abroad and got me one! I actually cant find a case for it in here so I'm waiting for another friend to get me one

I've actually seen two. One in public, another was from my friend.
Well, lol.
I got 5 friends from work with N5, 2 friends from home, 2 cousins and my sister with N5. So...
Not that rare in my area as most people would've thought.
Israel here is filled with iPhones like a plague, but for the last couple of years the Android scene is getting stronger and stronger, mostly filled with Sansungs, LGs and HTCs.
I've seen one other aside from my own. My best friend. He finally caved after we made fun of him for using the Nexus S for the past two years or so lol
Just saw a guy on the train with one.

Never was this sad ever :'( Evleaks is always spot on. Well, I hope he is really wrong this time.... :'(
Sad day, at least I have the last of its kind...
what a sad day.. now we wait for the silver program
Nothing wrong with silver other than maybe higher priced phones...... Hopefully it's not GPe phones that just turn into silver....
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
i still believe there will be a n6..probably the last one
As sad as i am about this news, in a way i am also happy. I think the Silver line will get better support (fixing important issues quicker) and overall the phones will have less compromises (build quality etc..), and better availability (especially for people outside the US and select EU countries).
The movie blade runner owns the name Nexus 6 so the next Nexus phone will be called something else

Nexus 5 (2014) ala Nexus 7 (2013) ?
Silver lining for $200 more probably... There's no way carriers/manufacturers would be OK with google selling a $300 phone next to their $600 phones.

This is plausible, there might not be a Nexus 6 but instead a Nexus device with a different name (probably with the word Nexus in it).
If this were the case then @evleaks would not have emphasized the term silver lining

This just means that Google is terminating the Nexus program early since the Android Silver program is not being accelerated to replace it. I wonder what their motivation for doing so is. Also, what does this mean for the Nexus 8?
Last year evleaks said that D820 is not the new nexus, but a CDMA G2 variant. He was wrong, lol.

So what is all this big fuss about? Don't you think google has screwed us over and over again with these crapping phones. I've owed gnex, nexus 4 and nexus 5 and looking forward that they would improve their phones but bottom line is you get what you pay for!!!
I will never buy another google phone ever and as a matter of fact, I will buy anything that headlines or competes directly with the nexus such as the OnePlus One the nexus killer!!!

Imo..the Nexus line is more alive than ever....
A lot of new accessories...
A lot of Google+ posts. From nexus celebrating the evolution of Nexus and from Google employees showing N5 photos all around the world.
A lot of new Countries with the Play Store's "Devices" branch.
However...there will always be a replacement......A reference device (or devices) for Android....called Nexus or not.
