i suppose that the price now for the new batch of Nexus 7
32GB = $249
16GB = $199
8GB = $149
hopefully its true..

I think the 8GB is probably going to be discontinued.

Agreed, I think they have realised that 8GB is far from enough, and to compensate the users buying an OTG cable and adding as much space as they require, they may aswell make some more money from the user and sell a bigger capacity.

That f'd up.

Anyone want to buy a babied 16gb Nexus 7? :L lol, I hope they offer part exchange for the 32gb one, even if it's 16gb N7 + £100 I would go for it.

I think we should get reimbursed of they sell it for the same price... that's a load of crap. Had I known they were coming out with a 32GB I would have gotten that.

Same, if they issue the 32GB for the same price as the 16GB there will be hell to pay.
I can't see them selling it for the same price, but it wouldn't surprise me, and if they do they will be getting a phone call.

I agree completely. I have the OTG cable and thumbdrive and have plenty of storage left on my N7 with no issues, however it is kind of underhanded to do that so soon after the first N7's came out. It is not the lack of storage I have an issue with, but the principal of the situation. There is always going to be something new and better, but Google has now taken a page from Motorola when they released the Droid Razr and 2 months later, released the razr maxx with double the battery. These are the business practices that make people gun shy about buying new products!!

I can see why people would be upset with the 32GB variant coming out so soon (assuming this is all true, of course). I'm not sure it matters to me, because even 32GB would cause me a bottleneck. I'll continue on with my 500GB external HDD and USB OTG. :good::good::good::good:

I would exchange for 32 but i got lucky and have no problems. It's my luck if i were to exchange it would have defects.

Probably not I don't think the newer models are suffering from recent issues. That I've heard of.
If it comes out the same price I'm gunna be on hold all day to get my 32GB or to get my reimbursement.

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?

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.

Staple's inventory

While checking local Staples inventory for a another 16GB I noticed that they've got the 8GB listed as in store only. They also show all local stores as having low stock and that it's a clearance item. Is Google phasing out the 8GB or maybe a revised model? Otherwise its just Staples being Staples.

Staples obviously knows something we don't at this point in time.
And I totally agree, the 8GB will have been to make it cheaper, and therefor get alot of the Nexus's on the market so the name is known.
Now they'll slowly ditch the 8GB as already said, and bring out the 32 GB model in time for Christmas = LOTS OF SALES/PROFIT

Doesn't seem like much of a clearance sale!!!
Sounds like the 32GB should be out around the 24th I believe and the leaked images have it at around the same price as the 16GB. So hopefully the 16GB goes down to $199 and the 32GB is $249.
I would have bought the 8GB if Walmart had it.
I don't use any local media so I would have been fine.
The staples around here never seem to have them in stock, yet I was surprised when I checked walmart, they had at least ten of each model.
I was crossed at the time but I figured rather pay more now than regret later having space issues.. though if they have a price drop when the rumored 32 comes out in late October, I'll be a little upset since I just got this about a week and a half ago.
If Google does drop the price on the 16GB I'd expect it not to come with a $25 credit to the Google Play Store.

Thats true, completely forgot about that. Though I'm not big on entertainment (books & video) and I'm already invested in the play app store, so I would personally prefer $25 off the device.

I got my Nexus 7 yesterday from newwegg and I didn't get the 25$ credit. I don't know if it may be related to my location - I live in Europe but I am visiting US now. Even if I try to access redeem codes from google wallet, I get the message "Gift Cards are not available in your location.". Anyone knows how to tell google that my location is now USA?

the thing that stands out in my mind
The way these companies justify their pricing is hilarious... one quote in the article states
Right now, Google only offers the Nexus 7 in two sizes, 8GB and 16GB. 8GB is an extremely small amount of space but it enables Google to sell the device extremely cheap at $199.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just seems rediculous for anyone to believe that 8GB more storage would cost $50 ... and with the cost of memory per GB nowadays it would be a no brainer to up it to 64GB and 96GB just to stomp out the competition...
I guess Google was thinking this would be a more wireless cloud based device but consumers are showing that we don't wanna go that way ... would make sense to meet the demand and just flip everybody out with memory numbers that are huge.... cheap way to set this tablet apart from the rest (besides the other things it's already got going)
Got my 16gb n7 a few weeks ago for £180 UK pounds + £15 store credit + Transformers movie. Otg cable gives me unlimited storage if I need it.
I don't think I would be able to get the 32gb model for this price when it comes out, so I am not worried.

Actually, I remember reading an article about this pricing that said the 8gb didn't provide any real room for profit and the 16gb version is more so that resellers could actually make money on the device.
At first this seemed true as I couldn't find a reseller that even sold the 8gb, but now most seem to, so perhaps the build cost went down.
As for a 32gb coming out for the same price as the 16gb now...I doubt it. This thing hasn't even been out for a year. As for the 8gb going to $99...no way. Not unless Google is doing a fire sale and dumping Android like HP with WebOS.
More realistic would be something like $279/229/179 pricing for 32/16/8gb versions...

Yes, we all have the same feeling, the Nexus 7 is a fine piece of hardware and it was indeed worth every penny I paid for it, I'm too grown up to care what other people pay for theirs..
I just wish I had known there was a 32gb coming considering I bought my N7 a month ago. I need more space than 13gb of usable memory, that's like 5 hd games.
I think this is part of the reason behind the Google Play $25 credit honestly, so really I only paid $225

Glad I waited, just bought the 16GB.
-Brought to you by Marino's Galaxy Nexus-
What bothers me is that the resell value was slashed. I mean if you bought a 16gb for $250+tax, you could probably resell it for $225 on top of all of initial offerings we've gotten from Google. Now it is $199, you'd be lucky to get $175 for it. Plus with the upgraded memory people aren't going to want the 16gb so you'll have to practically give it away.
Oh well. Life is full of surprises. They should have just came out with a 16/32gb unit out of the gate and stop screwing around with 8gb. Memory is so cheap now-a-days that it is pathetic that we allow manufactures keep us in this rut. I mean I had 16gb CF in my old Dell x51v Windows 5.0 "palmtop" haha. Honestly units SHOULD be coming in as 32/64gb these days... or even 64/128gb.
Media consumption is getting deeper and deeper. With games using 4gb each, 8/16gb just don't cut it without sacrifice.
Full agree on that post. But ive learned my lesson, i will wait at least till Christmas to get a Nexus 4 and closely watch the rumors.

I will second that. I do not regret paying full price for mine. That's always the price you pay for buying tech. It gets cheaper and specs always improve. Give it a few more months and there will be something better and cheaper on the market, that I have no doubt.
If your happy to pay the price when you did, then where's the problem.

Nope. Got what I paid for at an UNBELIEVABLE price.
If they dropped the price to $1, I would still feel the same but would buy more
July: Use the cloud**, you don't need more than 16GB!
**cloud available in US only
October: We put our smartest people in a room and came up with a genius idea: 32GB! All the storage you've always wanted all along!
I bought a 16gb at launch. Sold it on Friday last week for $150, bought my 32gb the next day.

ive got a 16gb one and have all my music and books in the cloud,im from uk its not only usa who get cloud ,overall im happy with what ive got and hardly touch my s2(32gb) anymore apart from calls and im due an s3 mid november that will be wasted in my pocket
im stuck
I sold my 16gb nexus 7 to my roommate because 16gb was to small for me and i want to buy the 32 gb version
But i also want the nexus 10 or the new chrome book as a replacement for my Transformer prime
the Transformer prime is ok especially for what i do (I use it for school/occasionally web surfing) but it has no real upside. it still lags, and slows down for no reason.
Anyone have any ideas what should i do?
Im thinking nexus 7 and probably the chromebook, its got the same processor and ram.
I'm being philosophical about this.
I bought the 16GB version three months ago so I've certainly had my money's worth.
Wife seems disinterested in having my N7 to make way for a 32GB upgrade and then Google announces the N4 16GB and I need to upgrade from my HD2 anyway.
Wife needs to upgrade her phone, too, so she can have the HD2.
My N7 still has about 6GB free space and that's with a lot of apps and stuff which would usually be on my phone.
Once I've bought the N4 and moved a lot of apps and stuff over to that there will be sufficient room on the N7 for my needs.
Plus there's still OTG and Drop Box ... Or VPN to my own local server ..

Is $150 for Nexus 7 16gb a good price?

I need a tablet and want to get a used Nexus 7,they are mostly selling in like new condition for $150.Is this a decent price?

Absolutely. That price is a steal. If they really are like new I say buy one.

Thank you. I just got one off eBay for $150 + free shipping.
I sold my Galaxy Note and I been missing having a larger screen Android device to play with,the Nexus 7 should be a nice toy to play with.

People have been saying that Hisense tablet at Walmart is good but for $150 the Nexus 7 isn't a bad choice. Certainly better than $199 + tax + shipping from Google. Hope you enjoy it. :victory:

seems similar to the nexus 7 except it has a rear cam. never heard of this company before.
Got mine for 160 euros so yeah 150 in dollars is definitely a bargain!

Not only a rear cam but micro HDMI and a microSD slot as well. There are a few threads here on XDA about it you could look at for more info. If I was buying today I'd get this over the 32G model Nexus 7 I now own. Add a 64G microSDXC card for about $50 and you'd have double the memory and HDMI too for $50 less than my 32Gb Nexus 7.

Except you get no developer support or guaranteed updates.
Which completely sucks.

Get it !
Even for that price if you don't like it you'll be able to re-sell it for that price no doubt.

Good point,as much as I would like a rear cam,the possibility of being stuck with no upgrades would be bad.

Yes,even if not for $150,could still sell it for a few bucks less.
I just picked up a 32GB Nexus 7 used this evening for $150 (CAD). Guy was in desperate need of some quick cash it seems, because he had just posted the ad online and I picked up the device 30 minutes later. I wasn't letting that deal slip away! The only caveat is that he didn't have the charger anymore, instead he had this flimsy travel phone charger that only outputs 0.7A.
All in all though, factoring the cost of getting a decent charger, I think I got a fantastic deal! Can't wait to root this baby! :victory:
