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.

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.

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.

should i buy?

im tempted to go buy a nexus 7 today in town for £190
do you guys think its worth its money ? i have a galaxy s2 on cm10.1 jellybean 4.2 so i guess its just a bigger version of my phone
have you been dissappointed with the nexus 7 when you bought it or do you think you have got a goot tablet?
cheers guys!

I bought it for christmas for my wife.
I have a Desire HD and she has a Incredible S as smartphones.
I have a Samsung Tab 10.1.
So as mobile tab or for ebooks it's the best one I think.
And it's a very good price. For a tablet in 10.1 inch you pay 400 £.
If you want to invest 400 £ buy a Galaxy Tab 10.1 otherwise a Nexus.
You wont't be wront.

I have been surprisingly impressed with my nexus 7. I bought it at launch, and I was already heavily involved with the HTC rezound and the Transformer prime tablet. I had also had two iPads so I thought I knew all I needed to know about tablets. Had my local staples not had one in stock aftrer launch or had it been more expensive I wouldn't have tried it.
But I'm so glad I did, because the 7 inch size surprisingly makes it feel, completely different from a 10 inch, and its so handy and convenient. My favorite part is the development. I set my tablet aside for a few weeks, and when I came back to it development had increased instead of slowed, so I get to flash and help work on toms of stuff.
If you have any more questions send them on but I highly recommend trying it.

so yeah cheers if a moderator wants to close this thread or whatever feel free now

Asking this question in a forum full of people who already own the device seems a bad idea as far as getting unbiased opinions goes.

I suppose your right but I wasn't going to ask it in the galaxy s3 forum or anything else haha

You'll be glad you bought it! I had a 10" Transformer that I could never get on with let alone take anywhere! For portability nothing beats it and you will appreciate the pure Android experience for sure. I also thought I'd miss the extra few inches but in fact I prefer it because it makes typing and playing games much easier as your not stretching to use the controls all the time nor are you fed up of how heavy it gets in your hands although I appreciate that depends on what 10" you have.
Enjoy it!

I'd say go for it. The Nexus 7 is easily my most used gadget I own.

Galaxy tab2 10.1 is only £230'ish and the note 10.1 only £320'ish
Anywho, N7 is the best bang for buck on the market. Yes it has its flaws (well some do) but it's still a tidy, fast machine.

As a guy who has owned probably half a dozen different android tablets, this guy has said most of what I would have about the n7. At home I use it more than both my laptop and Nexus phone. Out and about I'll always take it with me in preference to my laptop as it's small enough to be very portable yet still large enough to be much more comfortable to use than my phone.

These 'should I buy' threads always make me laugh.
Why not go ask in an ipad mini forum if you should buy a 7 over a mini.
I'm sure they'll all say a 7 :what:

OK how about this just compare all the other tablets to the n7. Then look at what you get for your money. Hands down the n7 is underpriced for what's inside. The only thing that it lacks is a SD slot.
Seriously why did we get the n7. Sure its a nexus but we got it because of the price its cheap and gives you the most bang for your buck.

(Q) Should I get this phone?

I need a new phone for work, could someone please tell me if this phone can keep up with:
Typing 3 words a second (quite a few phones can't keep up with my speed unfortunately.)
Slight drops, maybe from 4ft on a floor as hard as rubber tarmac (like in children's playgrounds)
Slight water resistance (a few drops on the screen)
My s2 survived for 4 months of this usage, along with about a year of normal usage.
Can this phone cope? Thank you ever so much !

In that case there are many more cheaper options available. However, if you want a phone of at least this caliber, I suggest you to get an SII again.

I wouldn't recommend. A friend of mine got one and received constant force closes in all application after flashing a new firmware. This is the second case I'm aware of.
Nowadays I would buy a Xperia with native CM10 support.

Recommend this over the S2

I'ts a good phone, and still a valid option with an updated rom (Slimbean or CM) however if you could afford one with more processor/mem I will recomend that

Wich is the best tablet to use with an HTC one?

My friends, I'm thinking that I really need a tablet to complement my SGN2. I don't want to close any option before I hear from you. I'm an advance user, and I'm looking for something that really gives me more that my sgn2. I used to have an iPad I sold it because only my children were using it to play around, but since the anounncement that office 365 was out in USA, I'm thinking to get me an iPad mini. Another choice might be an w8 tablet, since I want it only to get my job done (lots of reports and presentation, microsoft dominates my working environment). I was thinking also to let go my SGN2, get an HTC one and buy a note 10'. What do you think?? Please help me out here.

Or wait a month or two for a probable announcement of the next Nexus 7 Unless you need something bigger in which case a new Nexus 10 should make it's way to announcement soon as well~

wait for the new N7 or N10
if you're getting an android tablet might aswell be a nexus

But what do you think of the other tablets?, I want it to use it on my job, advance tools for powerpoint and advance tools for excell... on Android I can't seems to find somethingh as powerfull as the office suite.
I've allready have an apple account with several software bought, maybe w8 is a good choice but it's a new system and just to have to buy all over again just doesn't seems right.

Well it's weird then that you're asking on here what NON-Android/HTC device to get considering you're already leaning way towards an Apple device anyway for the above stated reasons

Thats beacause I don't know everything and maybe there is something that I'm missing, don't you think?

It's a work based tablet. You shouldn't be buying a tablet for work though

I am using galaxy note 8.0 and HTC one. You just can't get wrong with the combination.
I used S4 which I think was really laggy and half of the memory was taken by Samsung apps.HTC one get the dev edition from HTC USA online store.
It is amazing piece of equipment.

Sure, I'll use it only when I feel creative. I also have an Lenovo X220 Tablet and is really to big and heavy to carry arround. That's my main working device, but on the go, sometimes y feell that my SGN2 just doesn't help me all the way. I'll take a look at that Dell. thank you!!

[Q] upgrading

well, sadly my nexus 7 has become so slow its almost unusable. So im thinking of upgrading to a larger tablet (8.9 inch or 10) but i am not sure which ones to look at. I want to stay below the 250 price mark so right now im leaning towards the Kindle Fire HD 8.9. Anyone have any other suggestions??? Id love to hear them.

I think you should read up and get what's right for you, in your price range. Asking others is just plain silly. We all have different tastes, needs, funds....etc.
Good luck.
P.s. Under 250 for a 10"tab?? What a dinosaur or no-name junk heap that would be.
Oh....and if you aren't willing to put forth a wee bit of effort to get your tab running like it was new again.....then I gotta suggest you try an ipad. They're neat!

Oh trust me, ive done several things to get it running properly again, its just not working. Ive tried several rom/kernel combos and nothing seems to get it to not lag. and btw ipads aren't neat
ive found the toshiba excite 10" for 250 but the reviews arent that great for it. Im just not sold on it yet...

And tablets don't just slow down either.....software does.
Hint....Google nexus 7 lag. Lots and lots will pop up!

A used iPad sounds great for you. No lag and you can probably get a 2nd or 3rd Gen for <$250.

Dude you just have to clean your tablet frequently like I do. Just install advanced system care and power saving apps. Use their widgets and put them on one page of the home screen so you don't have to use the actually apps..... Something so simple some people get rid of their devices because they didn't know it. Lol

People convince themselves that something is bad to justify getting something else. And usually nothing will change their minds.
