.. did you RMA your tablet at the same retail store 12 times around when the Nexus 7 first launched? Or did you instead take a more sensible route and try RMA'ing a few times at different places?
Need more info

walmart kicked me out after i asked them to open all boxes.
they called the cops.bastards.
..
tomorrow i change shops
Will open more of these freaking tablets....

Wait for next batch? Your probably just trading it in for other faulty RMA

My BS meter just went completely off the scale!

Gamestop Nexus 7 confirmed in stock

Just confirmed with a personal friend of mine that is a manager of a gamestop. They currently have their stock of Nexus 7s in stock and ready to be sold but are waiting on Asus to give a street date for them. :good:
Already confirmed and there is a topic for this.
Good luck with that. Asus and Google won't want to upset those that ordered at the announcement online, when they could have walked to the end of the road and picked one up instore quicker.
Expect store units to be delayed until after the initial shipments of online ordered have been dispatched to prevent a PR nightmare.

Well just called to confirm my preorder at gamestop. They asked when I preordered and since I was the first one to preorder they said mine is available for pickup tomorrow. Apparently not all of the preorders will be filled tomorrow and it depends on where in line you are. There has been many many cases of devices being available earlier at a local store than people received them direct from the manufacturer. This looks to be the same :highfive:
My gamestop called me saying my preorder will be ready for pickup tomorrow at store opening

Lucky!!
I ordered mine on July 7th, so I'm thinking I have to wait a little while :crying:
This is great news! I hope J&R ships mine in the next week then!
I'm kinda surprised cause I have heard about other game stops saying July 31 and emails that have said not to sell it.

I suggest you get there at opening, and don't give them time to read their corporate EMails.
That's my plan. I asked if they were doing a midnight release and I was told this isn't big enough for that. I would be there waiting inline.

I pre-ordered on June 26th (thru the Play Store) just after the Nexus 7 was announced at Google I/O. It grieves me to know that I would have been better off waiting two days and ordered thru GameStop after it was announced that they would be selling the Nexus 7 Tablet, because waiting two more days to place the order would have gotten the tablet in my hands faster. (This is going to make for some really bad PR for Google...)
Edit: Had the wrong date of July 4th... (wrote from memory and remember a big event on July 4 - LHC announcement of finding the Higgs partical... Somehow crossed that with the Google I/O event the previous week)

i pre ordered yesterday at the store, the guy told me august 1st but probably earlier. went back today to finish paying it off and the same guy told me that they had to wait for asus and google to set a release date. he also said that i will more than likely have it in my hands way before august 1st but couldnt give me an exact date. heres to hoping i get that call tomorrow or the next day. congrats to those of you that are getting it tomorrow, assholes! im jealous
Game stop in Tampa Brandon Fl is selling them tomorrow
For a fact don't believe me call 813-657-1611 I am ****ing pissed I will never order anything from Google again

NOBODY is getting it until google and asus announce the official date.. unless you went to Google I/O... they cant and will not give it up before its official.. maybe that is a big hint that tomorrow might be the day, who knows. all i know is that even if it is tomorrow, my local gamestop hasnt recieved their shipment yet, so i wont even recieve mine unless it comes tonight (IF it comes out tomorrow)
So half the GameStops are saying come and pick up and half are saying we were told we have to hold them so I guess you just have to be lucky

Who pre-ordered but bought elsewhere?

Just out of curiosity - Who out of us pre-ordered from Google Play and ended up purchasing elsewhere?
I pre ordered on the 27th but ran out a couple hours ago and grabbed the last one that Abt Electronics had in stock. Gonna either return this one or sell it to my friend when my other one gets here. This thing is pretty badass.

Yep. I called in before I got there and they had 12 left. By the time I got there they were down to 7. They sold out of those 7 from online orders during the 3 minutes I was playing with the floor model. I made a small stink with the manager and made him sell me one of the 7.

I pre-ordered, but got one from gamestop. One of the employees reserved one, but couldn't afford it when it game. I ended up buying his.
But a question:
When my pre-order device comes, I should just take it back to the ups/fedex and say I'm refusing delivery? Do I need to get a Return authorization # from google?

I called Google today about this. I was told the usual story about how it was too late to cancel, but was advised to simply refuse delivery. I'm under the impression that as long as you make sure the UPS driver is not allowed to leave the package at your location, you will be refunded in full. If you cannot properly refuse delivery, bringing it to a UPS facility within 5 business days (with the box unaltered) should also net a full refund.
The bottom line being: don't open the package. don't wait too long to return it if you couldn't refuse delivery.
I bought one from my local sam's club.. I had pre-ordered one from google on July 3rd.. but nothing seems to be moving.
If/when it comes, I'll offer it to my dad if he likes it. If not, I'll either sell it or send it back to google.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Limbo Level 3 corner

This is a post for limbo level 3 individuals only.
Looks like we are the Forgotten ones and betrayed ones as well.
Please post any shipping information you might received from Google, those that have not received anything, hang in there I'm with you!
Here's my latest update:
we are the poor suckers left as last on the list, I'll wait itll next monday, after that I'm saying fck google and getting something else
My order still says Nov 13 and shipping estimate 15th. Would it kill them to update it?
Everytime I call in they say it's still "processing". I am under the impression that lots of people get stuck in processing and forgotten about. Thinking about calling CSR and asking them to refer me to a specialist so I can get my shipping estimate updated at least for christ' sake.

Isn't the fact that they updated it to the 19th a good thing?
The last time mine was updated was the 13th, which makes it seem like they're not even bothering with it anymore :crying:

just found out that the temporary authorization on my account is gone as of this morning.
im now suicidal.
It's getting so frustrating that at times I want to just cancel but I know that I might regret that since I already have a purchase order from Google.

Limbo Level 3 here as well
Order pending in Google Wallet with 13 November being the last update.
Delivery estimate still 15 November in Play Store.
Last comms from Google was BO email.
I am in the UK.
:banghead:
Not to sound so negative but I'm hoping that we don't get our phones the actual third week and then a week later it's available to all the public which I want everyone to get it but it's not fair that we ordered on the same day that it went on sale and yet we're going to get it so late
If we dont get our phone by today which is the 5th processing day we have more leverage on demanding for a free shipping or bumper.
That's all I'm saying. I want the phones today or tomorrow because I have been more than patient about the situation.
I am too heavy to be doing the Limbo Level 3. Come on Google....just give me a status! No emails since the day of ordering? Why punish early adopters?

Operation - Trick Best Buy on Sale of Nexus 5

Here is an idea that requires everyone to participate.
Plan: Try and get Best Buy to sell you a Nexus 5 before official launch. Maybe they have stock already.
Action: Call your local Best Buy and act dumb. Tell them you want to buy the Nexus 5 and to put one on hold for you to pick up. Or walk into a store if you prefer and do the same. Ask them if perhaps they have a Nexus 5 sitting in the back of the store. Make no mention of the fact that it hasn't officially been announced for sale.
I forget exactly which phone was sold before it was officially released a years or so ago. I remember reading that this guy got a phone before time and he was a bit nervous about it but posted details online about it. So this is possible people! If you remember this incident and the phone remind us.
If everyone does it we might get lucky and have more info to share on the Nexus 5.
Of course report back if you are successful. It might even be fun to report the failed outcomes too. Be creative. See if you can snag an inventory screen shot. See if at least they tell you that they are back there but that they can't be touched.
PS - Don't be that guy. If you think this is a stupid plan be polite. Offer your opinion and insight in a respectful way. You can't say it isn't possible because this has happened before. Sure there are practices in place to prevent this. But all it takes is one rookie mistake and things go unexpected. This is all in good fun. We might get lucky!

Who told you it was going to be sold at Best Buy? I see you have a N4, did you get that at Best Buy too?
We don't know if Best Buy is going to sell the Nexus 5. But they might. They sell all the other Google products (Nexus 7, Chromecast, Chromebook, etc). We also know from a particular Canadian store that there is Nexus 5 inventory. So the Nexus 5 isn't going to be exclusive to the Play Store. None if this is definite for Best Buy, but it can't hurt to try our luck. Perhaps Google learned from the N4 launch that Play Store only sales is bad way to launch a product.
... And I got my N4 and N10 from the Play Store on launch day.

I think there is a definite possibility it will be sold at Best Buy. Google seems to be taking a different direction with this phone. More hype, and evleaks posted that it is going to be available on Sprint..
a friend of mine who works at BB as a manager told me they are expecting to sell the phone, but that they have yet to receive any units and might not get them until after its already out. This is on LI NY btw

If they're going to sell the phone it should be in their inventory systems; it's an easy thing to check.

Very true, that's why I find it's hard to believe that they'll have the N5 at launch. Someone should've posted a picture of the inventory already. I know I would if I was still there. (Like for the Wii's and PS3's.)
I'm pretty confident they are. I visit my local BestBuy yesterday and asked a customer service rep. He said he knew what I was talking about and went to ask his manager if he could sell it. When he came back 2-3 minutes later, he told me suddenly he wasn't permitted to talk about it because it's not official, so he couldn't legally converse over it. I'm going to try back at another location and see if I can get someone to pop early there, I also got my Nexus 7 2013 48 hours before launch just because I asked. Some guy went in the back and got it for me. Worth a try I suppose.
Hmm. I have a friend that works at BB.
