Just checked mine, no OTA yet. Can't be arsed to do it manually.

Same. After waiting for updates that never came on my HTC Desire, I'm sure I can give it a coupla weeks for this

Think I'll have to get the rumoured 10" Samsung nexus when/if it comes out.

Is there any differences between versions from US to UK? Work are getting me one but because it is cheaper one of our US staff is visiting next week and bringing it...

... so yea I'd like a really solid reason for it to be ordered next day delivery today

My advice is don't order a 16gb model, they are already showing as EOL and will be replaced on the 24th of this month with a new 32gb version sporting a new power management chip for the same £199 asking price

No longer a rumour, this is showing on the internal stock management systems of many major retailers.

If this is true I'll not be buying any Nexus branded tablets/phones at launch again :mad:

Dont do this to me.

If that appears, then it may just push me over the edge into buying one

If that appears I've got to find a friend to flog the 16gb version to.....

There are lots of other sources, but these were the first two I found. A friend in the states who works for a large retailer confirms it, but you are free to make up your own minds of course.

I think the 32gb is coming, but I'm not sure about the price. When the 16gb was launched it was said they were only just breaking even, so surely the extra memory would mean they end up making a loss ? Unless they have cut costs elsewhere ?

I doubt they will EOL the 16gb, makes no sense, highly likely they will get rid of the 8gb model and keep the 16 and 32.

Either way I'm not too worried, I've still got a stack of space on mine, I don't really use it to hold content, all that is held elsewhere.

Why or how is this better than the Samsung tab 2?

Just compared them in tesco as the wife getting my one for xmas, the border on this kinda put me off a bit

Liked the function of both and the size, but preferred the look of the Tab2

I am very glad to have played the waiting game!

It's already EOL, whether it makes sense or not, there is nothing to doubt :eek:

If they do reduce the price of the 16 Gb model sufficiently, then that should make it an attractive buy for those who are sure that is enough for them... shouldn't it?

Same. Although I was planning on getting one at the end of the month anyway, this 'leak' makes it an easier decision for me to just wait.

Managed to get my nexus7 for £180 at Luton airport! Had to provide my boarding pass etc but also managed to get a nexus leather case and screen protector, all in for £200. The case was worth £28 but not sure about the protector. I had to haggle a bit but defiantly feel good about the deal.

That sounds like a good idea to me, as we will be passing through Manchester Airport in a few weeks time, and I was planning to buy one before Christmas anyway!

Any guesses as to what price I should be able to pick up a 'duty free' 16 Gb one for there, in about four weeks time?

Thanks!

The 'pricing by capacity' strategy has warped peoples minds.

The extra 16GBs of storage inside the new model will probably be costing Google less than £1 per device. The 16GB model is already pulling in at least £40 of profit.

Power.

The lag on the Galaxy bugged me almost instantly after the "buttery" experience that is Jellybean on the quad core Nexus.

The fact that it is a Nexus device is a plus for me, I wanted to try things the way Google want them to be.
