[discussion]Getting the nexus tablet?

I'm basically in no matter the specs as long as it's below $250.
I just sold my galaxy tab 10.1 for lack of a development community.....

Yeah the cheap price point is good, I'm debating on giving up on my a500 but i do want a smaller device, a ten inch tablet is a little uncomfortable most of the time

The gtab has AOKP. That's all you need

Tegra 3 + IPS Display with decent build quality and around $200 is what's making it easy to pull the trigger. I have to pull it though because it's running Jelly Bean, and will be up-to-date in comparison to any other tablet.

I might be selling my gtab 2 with omap4460 chipset and wolfson 1811 sound chip soon.
...

Pretty sure I'm in. Only question is whether or not to sell my xoom.

I *want* to be in because I like my GNex phone so much. But I'm not sure about the whole 7" thing. If I want real portability I'll use my phone. I'd rather have a 10+ inch display on a tablet which makes magazines, newspapers, Google Reader more enjoyable. I'm not sure I get the whole 7" tablet idea (for any manufacturer). Seems like just a big phone that starts to limit the things you can do with it.
What bag can you carry a 7" tablet in that you can't carry 10"? Do people really look at a 10" tablet and think they will have trouble carrying it around compared to a 7"? (serious question).

Not sure about the 7 inch form factor...i do know that the ten inch felt too big to me on the galaxy tab.
I'm also not convinced about the utility of a tablet.between my wife and myself we have 3 laptops,2 chromebooks, 2 newish Android phones (gn+gs2) and a kindle.
I just don't understand what a tablet does better than the rest of that.
BUT,i love geeking out with the roms, etc...so I'm in on the nexus7...

Any ideas if the little fella will come with a sim slot for mobile data?
That'll be the deciding factor for me.

I probably will buy it. But I Love the form factor of my galaxy tab 8.9 it is large enough to get more information on the screen, but not to big where you might as well have a laptop. I think that's the best tablet size IMO.

I was really interested but I'm not so sure I can justify it. I already have two "bastard" android Tablets. An hp zeen with no market or apps (7"), and an HP touchpad where most games are blocked or don't work (10", 3:2). I would really like something a bit bigger than 7" or something with an amoled screen, but it will be nice to have something with better support.

Give me a nexus tab 10.1 for $300 and I'm sold.

For sure I plan on one... not sure though if I'll unload the Xoom or not though, it's been good to me

Who got rid of thier tablet

Ever since I got the note 2 I haven't been using my tf700
Decided to put it on xda marketplace.
Seems this note 2 is more practical to carry around.
Who else is dumping thier tablet?

That was the main reason I wanted the Note was to replace the iPad. It is working perfectly in that role!

Sold my Nexus 7. The Note 2 is a mini tablet with 3g/LTE without having to pay sprint any more unnecessary monthly fees. :good:

Your guys statements are the exact reason I'm gonna be getting a GN2 in the next week. I already set up my Flyer for the kiddos. Not worth selling it for next to nothing.

Just sold my N7

I haven't touched my A500 at work since I got my Note 2. I only ever used my tablet at work and now I don't even use it here.
Guess my sister's wish for a simple tablet will be fulfilled this X-Mas!

Gave the N7 to the wife along with my old G2. Good combo for her since she doesn't want to lug around a sizeable Phablet. I love the note 2, good fit for my needs.

I'm thinking Note 2 but is the S4 just too close

I am thinking of going from s3 to note 2 but damn the S4 rumors are hot and heavy and looking sexy. Thoughts? I'd really like a semi tablet for work

I went from the GALAXY S III to the Note II and haven't looked back -- the Note II is a dream to use, feels great in the hand and in many ways has replaced my computer for every day tasks (e-mail, web browsing, basic document and spreadsheet creation, calendar management, and social networking). I absolutely love it and would wholeheartedly recommend one.

Ah man I'm so itching to pull the trigger on this. I'm so torn though because if I see a note 7.0 I might want to hop on that. So much internal struggle to spend my money

Wouldn't you rather have 1 device rather than a tablet and a phone? Trust me, you want this phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

I went from note 1 to note 2 and haven't looked back. Faster, stronger, easier, more toys, and stupendous battery. Average use at work would mean charging by 2:00, now I go home with 50-60% left. No joke.

imo I like having 2 devices. cuz I'm always paranoid Ill accidentally drop the note2 and ill be ****ed if the screen cracks. If I can do a redo ill get a s3 and save another $100 for a n7.
OP. I suggest to wait for the S4. But gotta admit, that's a long ass wait till it drops.

Note II is all about the pen for me. I personally wouldn't wait for the S4. Note3 maybe =P

S3 to Note 2, I will only stick with Note series

Maybe I'll bring back that ipad mini I picked up and upgrade my s3. Oh the pressure!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

If it's in your budget, get the note 2 now and wait a month or two after the S4 comes out to see if it's worth getting and not plagued with issues. Then sell the note 2 and pay the extra 150 dollars or so to get the S4.
The note 2 is an extremely solid device. You might end up waiting 6 months for a device that isn't worth waiting for

If the S4 is worth getting, I plan on doing my plan above. But imagine putting off getting a great phone now and the S4 ends up being a total disappointment (just like the Nexus 4 IMO)
Edit: I hope it's safe to criticize the Nexus 4 here. That's like blasphemy in some forums. Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

I would do what I did, get the note 2 now, and if you want the S4 later open a second line, sell the note 2 for profit, and take your first line down to the bare minimum.

A Note 7? That would be a bad idea and it would be competing with the Note 2 if they released something like that.

Another thread of persuasion.
Note 2 will beat many more devices to come.

Went from Samsung Infuse to the Galaxy Note 2. Beast phone with amazing specs with the best resell value too since the note is the only phablet in the market.

I went from S3 to the Note 2.
Rooted and flashed Jelly Thunder the first day, haven't looked back.
The multi-view is amazing for multi-tasking. The phone is ridiculously fast stock, I can't imagine over clocking, and the battery has lasted me close to two days on normal use.
The S pen is also pretty fun to use

Yeah so wait for the S4 to come out oh but it doesn't have S-Pen functions oops now you find out the Note 3 is about to come out then you wait for it but oh the processor is not as fast as you'd like it to be so then the Note 3 is out but the S5 is announced oh but it doesn't do my chores for me then oops the Note 4 is announced so let's wait for that oh but it doesn't make me look thinner... then the S6 is announced...
Unless you have an unlimited pit of money, you shouldn't worry about new tech or getting the latest and greatest (because the latest and greatest gets unseated tomorrow). Pull the trigger, experience what ever pulls you towards it, then wait for another upgrade price to come around since the tech will always be newer, better, and more expensive. :laugh:

Hahaha yeah I hear you there. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger, I am just thinking hard about it. I love my S3 but I want some more productivity tools that the spen offers. I have an ipad mini and even though it's sexy and slick it just reminded me of why I left the iPhone. Very closed and useless with no wifi, I can't even blue tooth transfer files to it

Took the note 2 out for a few weeks, we had a good time but ultimately she just wasn't a nexus.
Glad to be back!

dont get me wrong i love AOSP and the nexus series but if i had the note 2 i wouldnt come back to this phone... the n4 maybe, but defiantly not the gnex.. but to each their own, glad you are happy with the gnex :good:

I would agree i would stay with the note but am saving up to buy the note 3 and keep my unlimited data plan. Thanks Verizon.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

The battery life on the note is why I kept it. I like everything else Berger on the gnex but that is worthless if I can't use it. I hung on to the Nexus to for ubuntu. Can't wait to try that out.
Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 using tapatalk 2

Well the Nexus will be around for a while. The Note 2 probably won't see many more updates. So in a year, the Galaxy Nexus would still be hip and cool and hanging in there with the latest features of Android while the Note 2 was left behind.
While the idea of a Note (10") with pen features sound great, every time I go into a store to play with one, it sucks. The Pen feature is pretty far behind the actual stylus and while it works well, it doesn't work as good as it shows in the commercials (what does though). To me, the PEN is awesome even if just for a quick doodle or note once in a while... but the Note is just too small to really utilize the pen to its full potential and limits it to just small notes.
The 10.1" Note is cool but it feels sluggish and laggy for some reason. Perhaps it is loaded down with junk like all displays... or it is just sluggish. Personally a 5" is too small and a 10" is too big. If they had a 7" at an attractive price point, we'd probably be talking.

Usually threads like this make me smh, but since I am very curious about the Note2 (I want one) I went ahead and decided to see what you have to say..
I am disappoint.
What the hell was the point OP?!

I would have stayed with the note 2 until the next nexus comes out end of 2013, note 2 is clearly a better phone compared to the gnex, that would have been the most logical thing to do but each to their own.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Whaaaaaaat? with that amazing battery life and all?
the nexus is cool and all but whats the point of having a sh*tload of features if you can barely use them
with the note 2 thats not a problem but well to each their own i guess
im happy with my nexus but the battery life on the Gnote is to drool for(SPECIALLY compared to the nexus battery)

So you're saying that the Note 2 (which ships with 4.1 in case you forgot) won't get any updates? Let's not forget that the GS3 is coming up on a year old in a few months here and got Jelly Bean recently while the Note 2 was released less than 4 months ago. Both the GS3 and Note 2 are their best selling devices by a long shot, I find it hard to believe that they'd abandon updating it within a year, even with newer devices on the horizon.

Well at least with Verizon you'd be waiting 6 months for updates.

For most consumers I'm sure it's hardly a thought. There's no question that it's not at it's end of updates but even if it is, such a popular device is going to get community support. I mean, the Verizon GNote2 has been out for less than 2 months and it's already got a slew of roms and a good amount of development behind it.
Yes, it will eventually lose official support from Samsung/Verizon much like the Gnex will, but where would XDA be if Android wasn't the masterpiece it is today?

If the Note 2 was cheaper, I'd have it, as long as ROMs are chugging out for it.

Keep note 2 an then just sell it when the next nexus phone comes out an get that, hopefully it will still cover the cost or close to it.

What was going through your mind when you decided to switch back? Sure updates are nice but the last 2 updates have broken features on my nexus. I'd much rather have amazing battery life, quad core processor and a large screen/Spen.

I bought it as a tablet replacement and it is simply too small, so I found myself carrying a tablet and a 5.5in phone which seemed crazy. The battery life will be missed, but a fresh nexus is just as snappy 99% of the time.

I have my Note 2 overclocked to either 1.8 or 1.92 and still get over 48 hours per charge and have had 8 hours screen time more than once even with moderate use over the 48+ hours.
Oh yeah, a little birdie told me Codeworx just ordered his today thanks to some nice people that gave him some healthy donations. Its funny that is the first device where people aren't going crazy waiting for AOKP or a pure AOSP ROM because they don't want to lose features.. that being said, there are some great 3rd party apps to take the place of SPad etc.

I have a Galaxy S4 and finally broke down and bought the Nexus 7 last week. Just love it. I can now actually read all the pdf files I need for work without massively squinting. It's an excellent size, fast, and no stinking bloatware.

I thought the same thing until I started to realize that for quick browsing and media consumption, a tablet is more convenient and battery efficient (I have the wifi N7) than either a smartphone or laptop (and I own both, with the S3 as the phone). Plus, if I want to bring the bigger screen out and about with me, it's so easy to do so.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I use my 7 tethered to my 5 to browse. Its a good solution to saving battery on the 5 because the screen isn't being used. I can browse for hours on the 7 and still have over 60% battery on the 5 before my day is over.

I have a Note 3 and still love my Nexus 7. My N7 is used mostly for games and web when I'm at home. My kids use it when I let them (they have to earn it) so its nice to not let them use my phone. There is definitely a difference when using a Note 3 and N7. Though the phone has a large screen, I still love my N7.
Its also nice to have a 2nd device if one is charging or has a dead battery.
The only thing I wish my N7 had was a pen like the Note 3. I bought my Nexus 7 before the Galaxy Note 8 came out and would probably still buy the Nexus 7 because of the price. Normal capacitive styluses just aren't as good as the S-Pen.

I have a note 2 and have tether on 24/7 w/ my N7 2013 now. I read everything on the N7 and don't really do all that much on the Note2 except quick texts (even though I text through the N7 as well using google voice).
I'm kind of thinking that I now want a very slim candybar like HD screen phone about 2.5 - 3.5 inches that is primarily for HD videos (like youtube) and phone calls. I use voice dictation so I don't care all that much for keyboard size...

I have a Note 2 and the 1st Gen Nexus 7 (until later today) and I like the combo. At home or in a cafe, I use the Nexus 7.
If I'm out running errands I will take the phone. The 5" size means I don't feel the need to take my Nexus 7 everywhere, and the 5 inches is very usable for anything I'm likely to do when out and about.
