Guys.. I'm seriously debating selling my streak 7. They are sending me a brand new one since mine got messed up. not a refirb but a brand new retail package so I'm thinking instead of using it putting it up on craigs list for sale and thinking about getting the xoom or just waiting untill the new samsung galaxy 8.9 comes out...
A lot of disappointed guys here! Patience, is a virtue! Ja

Well I headed another direction. I am more and more in love with this device. Especially after seeing a lot of new devices in the market , their specs, their price, their reviews. I think this device is fine and getting better.
Stick around. =)

But I will buy one wifi-only device to pair with this.
For example: Ipad2 wifi only is 499, their wifi+3G is 629 (130 USD higher).
DS7 is 200USD.
So if you buy a ipad 2 wifi + DS 7 , you are paying 70 USD more comparing buying an ipad 2 wifi+3G directly.
But,
what you got is HSPA network
A full functional device + powerful android exposure
better camera (comparing only applicable to ipad 2 only)
"portable" 4G access point.
7inch for your mobile needs etc etc

im putting my brand new streak on craigslist due to the fact that this dell streak 7 thread is filled so many noobs that dont know how xda is run then get mad and run to mods crying foul when i put then in there place , every time a new device comes out we get a whole new crowd of new people that dont like to listen and just post wanting what they want so if this post gets me banned i am sorry but it will be a cold day in xda hell before i get talked down to by someone who just learned what adb is so to those or that one person who did go and cry hey even the mod said it wasnt worth contacting him but for me to relax ...lol i dont know how to relax...."as i hit this blunt" damn l.a weed
I was really close to selling mine and getting the viewsonic gtablet, but then I realized that the gtablet doesn't have Gps and that's the only reason I got the ds7 was because of built-in GPS and would work well in the car.

I bought my DS7 like every other XDA regular knowing full and well what "Downsides" it has, we all however felt the potential for what it CAN do once the community puts out the custom work on it. I mean we have the 4G model that works with ATT 3G (Which THAT alone is win if this Merger happens... no other tablet has this yet, so least WE dont need to replace), Tegra 2 is the future atm for the devices. So we are set for PS Suite, Netflix and other quality 3d games Android shouldve had awhile ago to compete against iOS games.
It runs smooth, handles well, has a strong promise in the future, plus Dell isnt that bad. They didnt hardlock us out of rooting. =p *Pats Dell's Head*
While things are slow. Least now that we have the ability to flash, things can only go up. =) With Honeycomb coming, we will really be set! Also T-Mobile moving to 21Mbit (Which atm is in Vegas and NY) we will have a good speed too worthy of a Tablet.
Xoom maybe nice, no lie, but I dont need that. =)
Have you guys seen this? http://www.oeebay.com/goods.php?id=801 Im not sure if this is scam.
I sent the seller an email with questions and this is what they said:
Hello:

all of our products is brand new and original with international warranties.it has clean ESN and 3G/Wifi.

Waiting for your news!

Is the Nexus 7 one of the most of the anxious devices you have purchased?
Is the Nexus 7 one of the most of the anxious devices you have purchased?
For me, yes
I answered yes but mostly because it's the first thing I've ever pre-ordered, which instantly makes it the longest I've ever had to wait to receive a shiny new toy.
Second most anxious device (after Nexus One).
I dunno, but when I get mine I'll ask it.
As anxious as when I first got my iPad 1
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Don't know. Google hasn't specified it's anxiousness so hard to say . I am anxious about receiving it though
I hope it isn't too anxious because I have no idea how I would safely administer Valium to it. I'm fairly happy to be getting it though.
More anxious than when I was going to get my iPad
first real android tablet!! waiting is killing me!
I don't pre-order stuff because I'm very impatient, this is the first time I've pre ordered anything and the wait it is killing me.
I specified that I wanted one that was already on Xanax.
I am always anxious to get ANY new device
Dunno if anything will ever exceed the happiness of me getting my first USR 28K Sportster modem as a kid. Partly because it was the most expensive thing I ever bought with my paper route money.
I'm a early adopter and love my gadgets. Maybe the original Palm Pilot had the most anticipation for me followed by my first iPhone.
I was telling my wife last night about reading on Compuserve that the Palm Pilot was in stores, calling Circuit City and begging the guy to hold one for me for and hour. I called my boss and told him I had a personal emergency and went to get my Pilot.
I won't need to call off work to get my Nexus, I work at GameStop.
I'm pretty excited but a new toy is always exciting
Ever preorder thread has been like this. The tf101 preorder thread was intense, for example.
My life for Aiur

I called my boss once and said I had a flat when I was picking up my INT S2 the day they were available here in PR..
Waited eagerly for my upgrade time to get my Galaxy Nexus..
And the wait for the Nexus 7 is killing me..

I am pretty excited about this tablet. I got an HP touchpad last year and loved it, especially after I got cm 7 on it then cm 9. When I got my girl the kindle fire I fell in love with the size of it and the price of it but not really the specs. The nexus 7 will be perfect for me.

Nice Well man, from one father to another, I'm sorry for your situation... I couldn't even imagine going thru that with my soon to be 2 year old daughter. I do hope you get to use it with your kid. Have fun.
But anyway, I haven't seen the commercial on air yet, but I saw it on Engadget a few days back. It's cool I guess. It wouldn't make techy people like ourselves run out and buy it, but since it's aimed at the average Joe, its a decent commercial. I'm surprised how popular the N7 is without advertising! I hope they start to run 2-3 different commercials, and really show off what the N7 can do...and at the end, throw the price up on the screen.
"Starting at $199"
Its a great device ( I sold my Transformer Prime to buy the N7) and it's the first Android device that I think anyone can pick up and just use.

After coming the new Asus Infinity tablet, and after returning/exchanging my 4th one caused by QC issues, feeling bitter, I thought I'd never (At least until QC is fixed) purchase another Asus tablet again.
Opportunity struck when I was bored and tablet-less, to purchase the Nexus 7 that was on hold from a friend with my name on it. Supposedly I purchased the last Nexus 7 within a 170Mi radius of local stores relative to me, remarked a District Manager of the store.
A shot in the dark, yes, after being through hell with the Infinity.
I absolutely pre-judged this devices 7inch screen, lack of rear camera, lack of ports, etc to justify buying Asus' Flagship latest Transformer tab.
I cant seem to put this damn thing down, I use it constantly, the form-factor is a perfect size and weight, the back feels great to hold. No issues with QC (yet), not a single dead or hot pixel, no screen raising or separation, no creaking or squeaking, this unit feels solid. FYI: My unit is from the 'C8 Serial Number' series.
The biggest issue I have yet are from the bystanders who approach me wherever I seem to go and ask me about my 'iPad Mini' or how did I get an 'iPad Mini'.
Within a 40 minute coffee shop sitting, 7 people approached me asking if it was an 'iPad' mini. I spent twice as long explaining them it's not an iPad Mini, its a Nexus 7, it runs Android OS, etc. Then bombarded by their questioning on why I didn't wait for the iPad Mini and ridiculed as to why I didn't have an iPad yet.
This is my first 'real' Android device, let alone tablet (not counting the Infinity which never left my house, except for the BestBuy exchanges).
I've learned that the confusion of the Nexus 7 for an iOS/Apple is inevitable.
So I raced home and came up with an easy solution... attached are photos.
Yes it's actually easier going with their beliefs of it being an iPad Mini then quickly hiding the device in my bag and watch them try and snap photos from across the room. It also gives me an excuse to quick-pitch the curious that 'they never saw this', and 'we never and cannot talk' which usually does the trick.
A fun game I am enjoying as I await my case to arrive...:laugh:
Cheers to all the newfound friends and support on here. I'm blessed.

It's doubly funny because it trolls the Apple zombies and a offends the Android fanboys.
Don't you know, Apple invented the 7in formfactor. As soon as they get them out the door in September, they will start legal proceedings against Asus for copying their ideas.
Really, Apple fanboys laughing at you... I think the joke is actually on them...
I love my Nexus7. I bought our first one for the missus - I had a Asus Transformer 10in Android tablet/netbook, but I have since sold that and bought a second Nexus 7 just for me (I could never get on the first one). Both are perfect and both are used CONSTANTLY.
7in tablet is perfect for me, and the spec and price of the Nexus7 are perfect two. I can buy "his and hers" Nexus7 for the price of a single iPad. So who is REALLY the fool?
