Should i get Nexus 7

Well i had made a "should i get tf700" in the other part of the forum, learnt that its slow , Apps appear blurry etc.
So is nexus 7 a great buy?
I'm thinking of getting the rumored 32 Gigs, But i don't think that might be enough.
So does this nexus 7 support OTG, Like i can connect my HDD(Which has most the movies i have)

Yes.

Okay OTG WORKS(For connecting my HDD,Pen drive) ?

AFAIK it works just fine.
There is a lot of talk about it in threads scattered around the forum.
Search for nexus 7 OTG and see what you find, personally I haven't used it.

You're lucky you can have the option for 32GB one(will come any day now). All of us here are stuck with 8/16GB. Though yeah we can use USB OTG for extra storage and peripheral connection. Just unlock and root and you're good to go.

Okay..so mostly i'll go for this or tf700 whichever turns out to be better.
I'll check out how nexus 7 is when it officialy releases in India next month.
But will be getting it from usa, as it will surelly be way overpriced.
Say atleast 17000(around 310$)

The Nexus 7 is great, but so is the tf700. I chose the N7 for the screen size and price, but it was a hard decision. Now I sort of regret it because of the 32gb N7 that's coming out...

woah 32gigs

Get the Nexus 10 if you are going for higher quality. Wait till Monday, but the Nexus 10 might not come out that day. The 32GB will be out Monday though.

Agree.
but all app's are made for 720P.
And itseems they appear blurred/pixelated in 1080p tablets like TF700

The infinity is actually 1920x1200. Idk I had it for a day and took it back and kept my Nexus 7 it was too big and bulky for my needs. But I would go with the Nexus 7 or 10. The infinity is a awesome tablet though. It just depends on what you are going to use it for.

But if nexus 10 does come out you can assure that tablet specfic apps will be made .

Anyone know the price range the nexus 10 might cost. Even a guess?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app

Maybe 300-400
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

I feel nexus 10 seein the specs anything more than 450$

But Google wants to be competitive price rise. If it's the same price as the iPad 4, people will go for Apple

Too late to buy a nexus 7 ?

i know the nexus 7 only came out in june but do you think its to late to buy one because im thinking of grabing one tomorrow or should i wait till the next one comes out :/ ? any input would be appriciated

I would get one now, after all it hasn't been out for long. I would buy one now and enjoy what there is to offer at the present, if you keep waiting for the next piece of hardware you'll never enjoy and appreciate the current technology, and you can always sell it when the "next Nexus 7" is released.

The N7 is an excellent 7" tablet IMO. I'm extremely happy with it, and so is my gf's son who got one for his birthday.

I just picked one up about 2 weeks ago and I have zero regrets. It's a beast that handles anything I throw at it.

The only question to ask is Do you get 32gb or the 16gb.. Or WiFi or 3g if available where you are.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

I went 16GB wifi because I have a 32 GB phone if I need it. However, Gamestop had a $50 off deal and there was only one 16GB available. Might need to go 32 regardless. Good buy though, I just got mine a couple days ago. I don't need a huge tablet, I wanted more of a reader and this blows the Kindle away.

WOW . Can you tell me how you got it to do the dishes and wash your delicate's . Mine Does not Like water..
OP Get the tablet you will not regret . But i recommend getting the 32 gb.. Get the gsm one if you can not tether it to your phone. other wise the wifi would be fine.. its what i have .. DO NOT LOOK BACK OR WAIT. the next best thing is the Nexus line..

Thanks everyone for being so help full looks like I'm going to pick one up in a few hours

You most definitely won't be sorry. I think if anything you were smart to wait since the 32gb was release and the 16 gb was dropped to $199.99.
A new nexus tablet probably won't come out at least for another 7 months anyway. Just enjoy the hell out of it.

I think you should go for a Wifi version if you already have a phone.
Since the next-gen Nexus is no way to come out soon, and new version changes nothing in performance but has 3g and more storage capacity, and the price of nexus 7 16gb wifi dropped. I think Nexus 7 16gb is the optimized choice atm.

I've had several devices, a few tablets. This device is flawless. I love it. I'm a little late to the party as well, but it doesn't matter, this device is awesome. Good luck and enjoy.
Anyone on the fence should jump, they WILL NOT be sorry

No it won't. I have 2 nexus 4s. One is a 301K and the other is 303K. A friend also has 303K. None of these have the nubs. Its the 304K models and later which ship with nubs

Why should he send it back if it hasn't got the nubs?
Without the nubs the phone also works fine.
I think you shouldn't just RMA because of that.

303k and i have those pesky nipples at the bottom

i ordered new nexus 4 about three weeks ago and when it arrived, it didn't have the nipples. i was hoping it would but oh well.
about a month before that, i had to RMA another nexus 4 and the replacement also didn't have nipples.

Well.... I have heard that they kinda made the glass a bit stronger in the new design . Is it true?
Or is the same fragile one that breaks without even touching??

These are small bumps on the back of the phone near the screws that keep the phone a bit raised when kept on any surface. This helps reduce scratches on the glass back, help prevent slipping of the phone as well as improve the sound quality as the speaker opening becomes raised due to these nubs.

Were you able to know the serial number before actually getting the phone? It wasn't from the Play Store, was it??

I have nipples.

1st step: Google play is out of nexus 4.
2nd step: replacement screens are almost $300.

Another option is to send it in to LG in Texas for repair. They charged me $146 delivered to replace a N4 cracked screen.

I'm in depression today. I still can't believe I dropped the nexus 4 and it broke. My only hope is to wait for the nexus 5. I'm not making the mistake of getting a note 3 or a s4. For now I'm using a $30 flip phone. I feel like it's 2001 again.

Don't be too depressed, some people don't have clean water to drink and make only 1USD from a full day of work.
You can get a screen assembly for $108 on ebay and replace it yourself, or give the broken phone to me for free, I could make use of it.
If you don't want to repeat the same mistake, buy a case or tempered glass screen protector next time.

How did you go from broken phone to Dysentery water? You have a sick mind my friend.
