Is It Worth Investing In?

I was just wondering since i already have a Gnexus, is it worth investing in? Just wanted to get some opinion from people who already received their orders and played around with it. Thanks

If you want a tablet and don't own one already thorn yes

I dont have a tablet so thats why i was thinking i should order it. Thanks for your reply.

Definately worth it.. Only downside is after using one for a bit you'll think your GNex is too small!

Technology is never an investment. Two, three, six months later the latest hotness is two years old and worth a fraction of what you paid. Don't buy something as an investment and expecting to recover any expenses in the world of Technology.
As far as being worth the expense of being a useful gadget you will enjoy, yes it is very much worth it. If you spend any time browsing the web, youtube, games, or movies on your phone, using the Nexus 7 will make it a more enjoyable experience and not kill your phone in the process. Tablets are still limited to being media consumption devices, i.e. dont expect them to do everything a PC can, but they do have a viable need in the gap between a smart phone and a laptop or desktop.

this post is truth!
after playing with my n7 for about an hour, i went back to grab my nexus one to text a buddy about my tablet and the phone felt pathetically little. :laugh:

Yeah, Step will probably come and move it.
Anyways, why do people keep thinking that because they already have a Gnex that getting a 7 will be redundant?

I traded my iPad 3 plus got 200 bucks for the Nexus 7. I was hesitant but glad I did. The only thing I miss on iPad is retina display but this screen is also good.

It is an oversized Gnex. You'll feel right at home.

Only if you use it as such. If you have any know how on how to change the DPI then it shouldn't be much like a Gnex.

Investing? are you planning to get an ROI on it?
it's a $200 novelty/leisure device. not sure what your expectations are.

Yeah it also makes the buttons really small so big handed people like me might want to keep it that way.

It's NOT worth *investing* in but it IS worth *purchasing*....

im in love with this tablet having only had it for a day but this is the best android tablet ive used. i liked the transformer but ics still wasn't up to par with iOS this blows it out of the water. there are still annoying slowness in pinch and zoom but im sure this is all stuff google will fix.

Nexus7 Spotting

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?"

mini ipad

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 :-/
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

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'

Wanted Nexus 4, didn't fancy waiting - got it at O2 for £400

I know I paid £100 more than I needed to but the google play site says shipping starts in 7 weeks, really didn't want to wait that long and it's still not bad compared to other phones on the market. Overall I'm a VERY happy Nexus Owner (nexus 7 32GB and Nexus 4 16GB)

I would have gladly paid extra as well, this thing is just brilliant. I'm glad I got it at the Play Store price, though enjoy your phone!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

If you get a faultless phone, it is worth it. I paid 500 for a sgs3 and IMO the nexus is better. That said, I am willing to wait.

I done exactly the same thing. Sold my galaxy note 2 on eBay and bought the nexus outright

Same here, and got a free TV. Also seem to be a few bargains on o2 priority moments, like £25 off an Ocado shop, so saved some money there too.

Free TV ended on the 1st. Mine should be delivered on Wednesday as long as O2 don't pull a Google on me.

is there some kind of service that would buy it for you within the US and send it? I've been thinking about using TOR to access the play store to buy it, but I want to make sure there aren't any other methods to bypass google's country restriction

for those in the US, can you see if the bumpers are in stock again as well?

yup back in stock, finally is after almost 2 months. place my order at 12:23pm est. glad i was off today. rather get it from google than to pay more through t-mobile, bestbuy or wirefly for a no contract. had no ordering issues through google either. just hope it ships in 1-2 weeks as it describes. good luck for everyone wanting this phone. hopefully everyone gets it who wants it this time and no more out of stock notices.

Hopefully they won't announce Nexus 5 just after I bought Nexus 4.

There will always be newer ones... If you buy a nexus 5, you will worry about nexus 6.

16 Gb are out of stock.

So I had to order 32 Gb one. I was torn between this one and Moto G, given 2 times price difference. I hope I won't be disappointed.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

that sucks that you had to go for the more expensive model
im certainly not disappointed in the nexus 5, but everyone has their own preferences. i think the n5 will be a better 'future proof' phone when compared to the moto g

i ordered my N5 the day it went live.. oct 31 .. 2 hours after it went live and the 16 gig was sold out.. so i went with the 32 gig also... happy i did tho 16 gigs aint much..

It's kind of weird though isn't it?
I ordered a 16gb Nexus 5 on monday and they were completely in stock. Checked back the next day and the Play store says out of inventory, rather than giving a wait time or anything?! And because I was worried this would affect my order I've been rechecking the play store religiously and every once in a while the 16gb comes back in stock but then you refresh the page and it goes away again.
Sorry you had to get the more expensive model. Thankfully my nexus 5 is shipping as we speak

I bought the black 32gb for that exact reason. With that said, I kept running out of space on my 16gb Moto G so I ain't that mad even though I had to spend an extra $50

Lenovo got Motorola now so you should be happier with your decision .

What? Motorola sold again? All these complaints about fragility makes me uneasy though.
