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

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.

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..
Kind of off topic but check your PMS

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.

Soon to be former HTC Flyer owner here. I just ordered my 16GB Nexus 7 today. I had just paid $200 for my Flyer in February, and to be honest it was a great tablet hardware wise but ruined by lackluster support by HTC. It hit EOL status way too soon, and got cut off from support at honeycomb. I spent the last month debating whether or not to keep it or cut my losses and get a Nexus 7 and Finally Monday I decided I'm not happy with the Flyer, it didn't live up to my expectations, so on Ebay it went. Haven't sold it yet, but decided to go ahead and charge the Nexus 7 before they sell out again.
Very excited and looking forward to receiving it! BTW how long does it take for google to process and ship the order?
i ordered my nexus late afternoon on monday, and it is suppose to arrive tomorrow according to the trackingt number from UPS. So i am gonna guess 3-4 days.

I saw 2 day shipping but it seem most people don't get it in 2, usually a week. Why is Google lieing about their shipping?
Honestly I'm ready to just get it I would of paid for higher shipping if I could

2 day shipping means that the actual shipping takes 2 days - they can still take a long time to process it.

Seriously??????????
How on earth has Google lied about 2 day shipping?
I assume that you have ordered online before and are aware that means delivery is 2 days from when it is shipped and not 2 days from when you click the order button...
If you have never ordered anything online before then please excuse my sarcasm....

?? There is a difference between when you Order it and when they ship it. When they ship it, it is 2 day business delivery. It may however take more than 2 days before the ship the unit from your order.
I think they did great. When I ordered it July 19th, the order page said ETA 3-4 WEEKS.... They shipped it 6 days later, and it arrived within 2 business days of the shipping date.
The only people who seem to have had issues with shipping had...
o Problems with Customs, not much Google can do about that
o Shipping issues with UPS, again, it is out of their hands once they hand it off.
From what I've seen, Google has refunded shipping costs when this happened which is just about all they can do.
They are not "lieing" .... and are not lying either.
Woa....
Sorry didn't mean to get everyone riled up. Just don't quite understand what 2 day shipping means from Google. I've been ordering stuff online for over 10 years. Just sayin 2 day shipping from say newegg would mean ordering yesterday would get me my stuff by Friday.
But from what I've seen it sounds like the 2 day shipping is actually 3 to 5 days so no that doesn't make much sense.
Sounds like they just aren't providing all the details like processing time etc. Sorry I just hate waiting on shipping! I have planned on buying it from a store until I read about the warranty.
Sent from my De-Sensed HTC Vivid using Tapatalk 2
that's because they ship same day. 2day shipping only applies to the time it spends in transit by a carrier. Processing and handling time is a different story. if you order say, a custom computer from dell, you can get 3-5 days shipping but it takes them a week to build it. so the system will arrive to its destination a week + 3-5 days.
tldr: shipping time =/= ETA. Handling & processing is not calculated in shipping time.
EDIT: you also have to consider the terms and conditions of the shipping service. most of them are business days only and some are based purely on time spent in transit regardless of it being a business day or not.

When it's here I won't care. Sorry didn't want to start off my first official post with the community on a bad note. Trust me I know Google is a Web product company not a physical product company so things might take longer and shipping is going to cost more than say amazon who ships out millions of products every day. And the petition for the. $14 shipping charge is just lunacy! I went through the play store because the warranty service is better and you get a $25 Google play credit. I'm sure the wait and the shipping charges will be worth it over buying it directly from a retailer.
Google is my favorite company, and this will be my 4th android device, love the os. Sorry again if I offended

With the flyer was it not getting updates that you weren't happy about, or problems that didn't get fixed before end of life, or just general performance? Was your flyer rooted?
I'm just curious, I haven't had one yet and wont buy one that old but would love to get a nice sense 4 quad core tablet from HTC to go along with my nexus 7
You will LOVE the Nexus 7 I'm sure. It's an amazing device.
Ordered mine on Monday morning. Two day shipping. I'm getting it today. Just checked tracking info and its out for delivery. So pretty quick. I'm happy with the process.

I was using a Galaxy Tab 10.1 before I ordered the Nexus 7. I like the 7 inch size better. Gave the 10.1 to my wife she's using that now instead of her laptop.

Yeah lack of support. I wanted a nice tablet and didn't want to pay a mint. I was actually looking at a Anol novo 7 Chinese tablet with ics on it but I found this flyer refurbished for 200 and figured with Htc I'd get better support. Unfortunately the updated to honeycomb which made it a bit laggy, and web browsing sucked on it. Even Google hates honeycomb as you can't get chrome for it. It's like an ics beta, and in may htc decided all their tablets would stay on honeycomb. Hardware and build quality wise it was awesome but I was mulling over the nexus ever since I got it. We got a good ics rom in the works, borrowing drivers from the one v and desire HD but it has ways to go and overall I finally decided not happy with the flyer, and I really want a nexus, so I went with my heart!
And the 2 day shipping is no lie, getting it tommorrow! Very excited. Im loosing some features like mhl: never used it, rear camera: pretty useless just a toy on a tablet and the flyers camera was pretty grainy anyway, sd slot in which I found just didn't need one. I eventually put one in but only for cwm purposes, selling it with the flyer as a deal sweetner. And vibrate too, but I eventually turned it off on the flyer as it just wasn't needed, it just drained the battery more. So that stuff the nexus is missing is not important to me
And who wouldn't want a chance to play with jelly bean now instead of hoping your phone might get it after key lime pie comes out? Very excited!

Went to the Verizon store and asked them about the BOGO offer on the cases. They were clueless even though one of the reps said he SAW the commercial. Went to the car and called Verizon, after being on hold for ten minutes they came back and told me it was a T-MOBILE COMMERCIAL. What? What a fail.

I was able to take a video of the commercial. Here's a link for all: http://db.tt/Z48cbO5b. Now go show those idiots this evidence!

It's on the Verizon website. You have to log into your account, go to accessories, select your phone model, then View All Accessories. If i'm not mistaken, when I saw it, the colors are green and teal... I was going to jump on it, but the colors are tad too feminine for my taste.

The Flipcase are a very nice Cases, but the Handling is not nice for me ,and when the Phone drop that dont help great....but one price for 2 is Hot
I could probably rock the mint and sell the sky blue one yet at that rate I might as well order it from Samsung with the 50% off

Not bad but I would rather stick with the original which you can get for $35 on amazon. They should have done something different with this knockoff version. I don’t like the LLC written in the band and not sure if its due to the pictures or what but it doesn’t seem as visible as the original. I would however like to see a review on this thou.
From the inside case image, it seems missing the chip set. I wonder it will working it not.

Looks pretty nice. A little worried that it doesn't show any pics of it with the phone but whatever its covered by ebay's guarantee and after buying a pouch for my phone i had some extra and thought "why not?" Hopefully it comes soon and I can tell you all if it works well or not.
mheera clearly is the seller and is just advertising it here. He/she didn't 'Find' anything. 18.88 is still way overpriced for a replica.
Just thought I'd create a thread for those of us that ordered the Almond color. Ordered mine the day it dropped on the site and it appears it'll ship around the 24th. I really thought this one was worth waiting for. You guys who ordered it like I did please chime in here.
I received it last Sunday. It looks class. Gonna rock a clear case with it which is arriving today.

Yes, I did. Will be here next Wednesday.
I'll add that I am anxious to get my grubby paws on it. All these years have been black phones starting with the OG Droid A855. But the A855 had gold accents that made it look elegant. I got used to the old 24k theme on it and have themed my phone with FFCC66 ever since. When the HTC One M8 came out, I went for the gold one, but soon after Motorola came out with the Nexus 6 and I had to have some Motorola again.
I first started a trade-in with my 6T then found out that the Almond was a limited edition. So I figured the next day I would change it from a voucher to a cash back trade in. Talking to CS was a chore for me, the girl clearly did not really understand a word I was saying, she only knew how to catch on to like one word and then quote from her script. The script was the part of the FAQ that said they don't change the trade ins from voucher to cash back. I went on to tell them to just cancel the trade in and save them some money. She just kept saying Yes, yes, yes. Arg! Asking for someone else with better linguistic skills, I was told there are no others. Hehe.

And I guess this thread is pointless clutter since there's already a waiting room thread made weeks ago...... But that's how xda is no one uses the threads already created so we just end up with clutter... Just because it's a different color doesn't mean it needs it's own thread.... There's already a waiting room....
Hmm, I just did a search for the waiting room thread, can't find it anywhere in my searches. Since the Almond was not released at the same time and is a limited edition, I think a separate thread is well warranted. So I suppose the only thing that could be clutter is someone who is not waiting for this color of phone.
But what do I know? I've only been around these sites for 10+ years.

I'm going to have mine Monday according to the tracking info I have now. I will post some pics as soon as I have it up and running the way I want. Or sooner, lol.
Suffer me this. My smartphone 'walk' actually started with the Motorola A4500, code named Napoleon, also known as the Q9n. It was a Windows Mobile 6.1 phone that we had to hack to unlock the GPS chip for third party apps. It was probably this first phone to really run google maps on Verizon. It was never released, maybe about 200 or so were 'leaked' out to the public. It was cool because it said "Engineering Release Only" on one side and "Not for the Public" on the other.
My Android walk was the A855, then the Galaxy Nexus, toyed with the Motorola razrM just because I got one that the bootloader could be unlocked on, then the HTC One M8 because it could be unlocked as well and the Gnex was getting old. Samsung doesn't make phones to last IMHO. Then Motorola with the Nexus 6. Motorola makes phones. I didn't see anything with what I wanted in a phone that would outdo the Nexus 6 until the Oneplus 6T, four years later. And here I am now. The 6T has been a finicky beast when it comes to flashing ROM's and such. For me, especially restoring Nandroids. So when I got soft bricked recently, I saw the 7 Pro and then in Almond and figured, I'll get that one, rock it, root it, rom it, and then just enjoy it for a few years. Screw all the updates. I learned on the A855 that although being able to run the latest on it is not always the greatest as the hardware was pretty much designed for the software available at the time. It might go one or two steps, but then your performance is going to fall off. That's why my Nexus lasted four years. It's still on Lolipop 5.1.1 and running well as it is again my daily driver while I wait to get this one.
Well, its here. I'm on my nexus 6 right now so I hope I can figure out how to post the one picture. The almond back is sort of pearlish and I really like the gold outer band. I've got it charged and now to go full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes and unlock the bootloader etc.
