For a tenner I would have expected next day as standard.
So it seems like I'm stuck, I can risk cancelling and trying a high street store (work 5 mins away from oxford street) or hang on to it and hope google process their orders faster. All other online retailers now seem to have wildly fluctuating arrival dates.
It’s unique because of its price making it affordable for the masses. Two months down the line you will probably want something better. As to size, it’s just a gloried smartphone.
You should try a 10" as it really is a pleasure to use. I've had the original 7" Tab and yes it was portable but that missing screen space does just makes it a gloried smartphone.
Having an SGS3/GN really does put it halfway between the phone and a proper tablet. So for me another gadget that will gather dust. I’ll wait for a bigger one as a replacement for my 10.1.
Oh boy, this ought to be good.
Lol
I'm tempted to try pc world from what the other guy was saying!
Decision has been made!
Have I or haven't I, that is the question........
You're going to invade North Korea?
Just about mate. It sucks because stock seems to be hard to get so if I did want an exchange I'd have to wait 4 weeks which by then my grace period with currys ended.
True dat.
Meh me grumbling about Google or praising them will go down to how good the tablet is.
Google's UK logistics screwed up royally and one hopes they will have learned or heads having rolled. I would expect future device sales from play store to be much improved.
That part of the experience will not sway me from the product itself. I brave poor customer service with numerous products I use (and enjoy great service from others). If the nexus 7 is that good the service won't bother me.
Havjng said that, Google will have missed an opportunity here: they have the opportunity to lure some apple consumers with a cheap premium product. However, to further contradict myself, the average consumer is going to start seeing these in shops soon. The price and product should ensure this is actually a runaway success and only early adopters are left grumbling.
With a truck load of Nexus 7s. They would make me their new great leader! Wait, there is something wrong with that plan........
Disagree. Whipping a 10 incher out in public makes you just look an iNerd, sorry but it does.
. From the purple shirts via DPD.I'm sure a lot of this angst comes from the fact that we, as a collective are generally far more savvy as to what issues there can be due to our inherent internet based mindset when compared with the general public. The amount of times I see other peoples technology and think to myself 'I'd have sent that back' is quite shocking, same with the number of times I see badly calibrated screens, put plainly, the general public as a mob just don't know what they are looking at and therefore manufacturers can get away with shipping units that do have minor issues because they know that in the majority of cases they can get away with it.
I've owned the Touchpad since the Firesale so know exactly where tablet sizes fit into daily use.
Also had a cheap £100 7" Android tablet in the past with non IPS screen running 2.3. bad...very bad.
The N7 has no missing "screen space", the resolution is as high as a 10" tablet.
