I have an 8gb WiFi model, and would like to upgrade.
I could get $55 from GameStop for it, although I will see if any friend would buy it for maybe $85.
Any ideas?
I will buy someones 8gb for $50 if its still in good shape. I have a feeling the price will plummet on the older versions once the new ones are released.
They are already selling for as low as $100 on swappa. I'd imagine they will drop further ones the 2nd gen is released.
Id def buy a 1st gen for $75 for my son to play with, to keep him off my 2nd gen of course. Our nook color isn't cutting it anymore.

I already have bits on my 16gb version for $200 on my local Craigslist... Buyer lined up tomorrow... I almost feel bad, but he's getting a lot of other things with it.

I'm going to wait and see the specs, and if 4.3 will help with the lockups and lag in my current Nexus. While better, the specs leaked have been kind of weird.

I'm still on the fence about upgrading. I just bought my N7 about 2 weeks ago BNIB for pretty cheap so I'm a little late to the party.
Besides some QC issues the original N7 has been good to me so far

I'd like to get the new Nexus but I'm not sure it's much better than the 16gb one I have now. I need to get a new phone soon and I think I might save my tech upgrade cash for that.

Phone is def priority, but if the N7 specs are true it will be a huge upgrade. Sure its still going to be vanilla android and do all the things your current N7 does, but it will be much much faster.
If I had a 1st gen I probably wouldn't upgrade either, besides a boast in specs, its not like the 2nd gen has any must have features over the 1st gen.

Given the price point, I'm liable to sell and upgrade.
Gonna keep, the n7 is so cheap you can't get much money for it.
if i sell my 32gb wifi i think i'll only get 120 euro's for it (payed 195 for it)
so if i upgrade (it's a big if, becausen i only got this one just a few months) i gonna give my old n7 away for free (proberly to my parents)
I have 2 I threw up for sale on Swappa last night
One is Brand new never used and the other is mine that is prestine. Asking $175 for either and got nothing yet.

I sold mine on Ebay last night. £131 Posted in the UK for the 32gb Version. With damage

I've got a 16gb model I just bought a few months ago that I might flip. Seems like the upgrade would be worth it.
8 GB I bought at launch. Ready for an upgrade if only for added storage.

Hey guys, I'm thinking about buying the nexus 7. Came across this article that compares all the current tablets. Is the source accurate? Should I buy the 16gb or 8gb one?
Source
Specs look about right, except I think the Kindle fire has 1024x600.
For it's price and size the nexus 7 is the best. If you want full sized go for the transformer infinity.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Get the 16gb version asap. This device rocks. Very fast across the board.
there are a few not on the list dropping shortly. If you have 500 dollars i suggest Huawei media -pad 10 , 200, tegra 3 acer a110 similar nexus 7 less screen resolution but does has sd card slot and hdmi port. Might research more before you decide. and the nexus will get best support and development. so cant go wrong there either.
What do people think on how the n7 compares with Motorola xoom2 8.2 media edition which can be picked up for around 200 UK pounds...and will also receive the jb upgrade?

I was hoping that the 2011 tablets that haven't sold too well like the Xoom would drop to near fire sale prices because of the N7 but I guess not.

Given that you are asking on XDA...the Nexus 7 is guaranteed to have a massive development following. Other tablets are hit and miss. For example, the A500 has way more development than the A200, event though the A200 was one of the first ICS tablets on the market. What is especially weird is that the A200 has an unlockable bootloader and the A500 does not. But by the time the A200 came out, all the devs already had an A500. Acer tablets are very close to stock google, and they are pretty good about updates, but you never know where the development will be. So the A110 may be a great tablet...but given the massive presence the N7 has in the 7" tablet development world...I have my doubts.
It's just that i have purchased the n7 and not sure whether to keep or sell and get the xoom 2 media edition 8.2 which i can buy for a little more than the n7?

You are correct sir.
I have the Acer A100 and a Xoom. The A100 is good battery sucks so unless you can get one for around 100-120 don't waste your time get the N7. I can't really say anything bad about the Xoom is has reliable and will get a JB update. Now I think the 7inch screen is too small and personally I believe 8 is the perfect size. so I might try the Xoom 8.2 once they are cheap enough.

That is $200 plus 24 times $ the amount you contracted to pay every month for two years. Not at all the same as owning a device out right.

Get 16G
I got the 16G, would have been happier if they had an 32G option like the Galaxy Nexus phone or an SD slot but 16G is usable, I wouldn't consider 8G given that it lacks an SD slot.
The performance of the Nexus 7 is very snappy and Jelly Bean is a real improvement over ICS so if you are going to get a 7 inch tablet the N7 is definitely the way to go.
I can't find a Xoom for any cheaper than $300 still. If it was like 150 or less, it'd be bought in a heartbeat.

Do you guys think the price might go down during the holidays for Nexus 7?
I don't think the price will go down soon with so many places being sold out and play store stop taking orders for the 16gb.
Just got one from staples for $183 with tax.

I'm in the same boat. Nearly bought an 16gb off swappa for $110, but thought its best I just wait it out.
I played with the N7 and comparing it to my N4, I just wouldn't be happy with the performance the 1st gen N7 has.

I had to get a 32GB. I have a 16GB already but wanted more Space and a used 32GB still goes for ~$150-200 used. For a few bux more with code I get a NEW one. I got a buyer lined up for my 16GB so I recoup a little cost there. IF the rumors of the $300 price for the new N7 is true I think I'll keep the 1st Gen N7 until the 3rd Gen comes out. I still have a couple of Tegra games so having a non-Tegra device is a waste. I like to have options.

You wouldn't make enough money back. The change from the old to the new isn't exactly warranted for the price. Isn't it 230? I paid 200 for mine and it's insured til 2015 of March.

I'd sell mine in a heartbeat if I could get $150 for it. I checked a couple places on Friday and the best price for "trade-in" was $65. I'm not giving it up for that.

Bought my N7 for £185. Sold it a month or so ago for £130 - before the announcement of a new N7 dented the resale value some more.
That's £50 to have a Nexus 7 for about a year which is a bargain.
Might buy a new N7, might not. My HTC One is fulfilling a lot of my app needs.
If I did buy another tablet it would probably be a 10" one.
I would sell it but not many people want the old one now that the new one has been released

I did, and I'm glad I did. The new one is better in every way.
I don't have an old N7, but I'm considering selling my ipad mini for a new N7.

Don't consider that option, just do it. The Nexus tablets are better in every way imaginable. Besides, you'll have money left over and can buy a keyboard case or an additional warranty on your Nexus 7. Or go out to dinner, lol.

while i think the new N7 is a great deal, i think i'm going to skip this one. based on my usage of the first gen model, it still gets the job done. at their price point it certainly makes upgrading every year feasible, but i think i'm going to wait until v3 to upgrade again.
Nope, I'm not. (;
The only thing I'm jealous about the new one, is that it has a notification LED.. Except this, no need to upgrade...

that sucks that you had to go for the more expensive model
im certainly not disappointed in the nexus 5, but everyone has their own preferences. i think the n5 will be a better 'future proof' phone when compared to the moto g
i ordered my N5 the day it went live.. oct 31 .. 2 hours after it went live and the 16 gig was sold out.. so i went with the 32 gig also... happy i did tho 16 gigs aint much..
It's kind of weird though isn't it?
I ordered a 16gb Nexus 5 on monday and they were completely in stock. Checked back the next day and the Play store says out of inventory, rather than giving a wait time or anything?! And because I was worried this would affect my order I've been rechecking the play store religiously and every once in a while the 16gb comes back in stock but then you refresh the page and it goes away again.
Sorry you had to get the more expensive model. Thankfully my nexus 5 is shipping as we speak
I bought the black 32gb for that exact reason. With that said, I kept running out of space on my 16gb Moto G so I ain't that mad even though I had to spend an extra $50

Just got an update saying my device is shipped. I am looking forward using it (my first smart phone ). Google now shows that 16 Gb version are 3-4 weeks out.
Not sure how long this will last, but they are brand new. It's still a very good device with KitKat and a solid performer for games. One device per buyer only.

I bought it just a few moments ago. I figured for $141 ($11 CA tax) it couldn't be a bad purchase. I will probably put Cyanogen Mod on it and see how it works out. I basically need a tablet for reading but after holding my moms Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 I realize that form factor is to large. So hopefully this will be okay. Also, sucks the 2013 Nexus 7 is a huge upgrade in terms of screen.
You should install MultiRom for it, then you can multiboot unlimited number of roms including stock.
