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 :-/

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'

When the different colors cases was out on the GS3, Otterbox's website showed them out of stock while the retailers was selling them.

The OtterBox website says it has a screen protector built into the case. Isnt this going to cause S-Pen issues?

Im really interested in the defender do you think the Phone is gonna be too bulk and massive with it?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

All defenders come with one built in. Wouldn't think it would interfere, but just do like I do and pull the protector out. It's just glued in so you can just push it out. I hate screen protectors.

I have the defender for my ipad, I ripped the protector out and used Goo-Gone to remove the sticky stuff. Worked great.

I have seen the s-pen work thru cardboard, I dont think the case screen protector is going to be an issue.

Cardboard and yes it works. The sensors change depending on the S Pen proximity. OG note could do this trick to btw. Samy found out it was reliable and made the hover feature from it. So throw 6 protectors on. Still works.

Thanks for the update! just got myself a Note 2 from U.S Cellular for $328 clean two year contract. Looked all over internet for otterbox and couldn't find anything but the Note 1 cases. 11 more days if facts are correct! Yes!
Also, would the Galaxy Note Defender case from otterbox for Note 1 work or fit note 2? Just out of curiosity because it seems for pictures that the dimmensions may just work but I'm no expert...

Doubt it, note 1 is wider.

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.

Stupid insurance!

Well I cracked the rear of my nexus 4, not sure how but a crack appeared. I sent it to my insurance who accepted the claim, but are trying to fob me off with a S3 as a replacement. Even though the S3 is alot older than the Nexus they seem to think its the same specfications. Annoying

What kind of insurance are you talking about? Insurance through a carrier, third party insurance like Square Trade, or something like renter's insurance? Whichever it is, it seems pretty dodgy. My experience with insurance providers is that they can do/not do whatever they feel like. If it isn't something huge like a house or a car, I don't usually buy insurance for just that reason.

My bank provides me phone insurance through aviva

It would seem that they are offering you this s3 because they might not have any nexus 4 to give you.

Accept S3. Sell it. Buy N4. Profit.

Dont reply then you geek
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

If they can't replace it, then they should simply cut you a check to buy it again (minus the deduction). The S4 is more similar then the S3.
Tell them you want an S4 or $350.
The S3 is similar to the Galaxy Nexus (last gen).
I love the Nexus Line, but with the S4 being AOSP now, I wouldn't mind picking up the S4.

What this man said

that's why SquareTrade is awesome...and only it's $6 a month

I would only accept the s3 if you can somehow sell it and get a Nexus 4 again

Samsung Tablet Suggestions

So right now i have a regular ipad 2 and i really hate having anything apple so i am looking to get a samsung tablet. What would you guys suggest. I have the S4 right now and its running Sacs Rom which makes it amazing. I like the size of the ipad mini and i was looking at the samsung tablets around that size and i want to know which one you guys would suggest or if there is news of a new one coming out soon.

Samsung Note 8.0. LG G Pad 8.3. Nexus 7 (2013)
Nexus 4 OmniROM/Franco

I don't think I would want to get anything other than Samsung because I love the s4
