16GB or 32GB????? - Nexus 7 (2013) General

Which version are you guys going for? Was planning on getting the 32GB at Best Buy, but then I saw the $30 off coupon for Staples, but it looks like they only carry the 16GB version. I am half tempted to wait for the 32GB LTE version, since I have an unlimited AT&T iPad data plan...

I just ordered the 32gb from Amazon with Saturday shipping for $300 after tax and expedited shipping.
$30 off Staples would be awesome but I think they are being jerks and holding the NN7's til Monday, probably when the coupon expires.

Doesn't matter, my staples doesn't seem to have any stock of the 32gb version, only the 16......

For the old one I went with 16 and a USB Drive but I just bought a 32GB from Best Buy, upgrade difference in price is small and if any of the disk-full related issues return that would mitigate it.

The 16gb out of the box has about 12gb of storage.
That's more than enough for me. I don't have music (I'll stream over WiFi if need be), pictures will be minimal, I hardly play any games, I will load some movies on to it for my son, but those are short term items that will use storage.
I plan on getting an OTG cable in case I want to look at pictures from my SLR or if I need to swap movies around.
Unless you play a lot of games (like GTA where the file size is over 1gb) or store a lot of music, I can see a need for 32 GB.
My N4 is an 8gb model and I use less than 2gb of what's available (4gb still free).

32gb because the file size is very large for a lot of tablet games. I also want to be able to pin a lot of magazines and music to my device without needing to uninstall apps. I had the 16gb for the original and I'm glad I got the bigger one this time

I ordered the 32GB. I don't actually use 32GB of storage on the tablet, but I do recall that with the previous Nexus 7, there were dual-bootable distributions of Linux. With 2GB of RAM, the faster processor, HDMI out, and the higher resolution screen, the new Nexus 7 looks like it could really run a distro of Linux well alongside Android. That being said, it is far more comfortable to have 32GB of internal storage for the two OSes.

Damn I forgot about magazines. Oh well those are around a gig each and I'll just delete them after I read them.

So does that staples coupon apply to 32gb if they have it?

I paid $239 out the door for a 32gb model at Staples. If you place the purchase at an in-store kiosk, there is no tax.

Ended up getting the 32gb at best buy for 269 plus tax. Even if I don't use the 26gb a available, it's nice to know I have it just in case.

32gb all the way...but watch in like 3 months a 64gb model will come out :silly:

With no SD card slot expansion definitely the 32GB. In for a 32GB through Staples $30 off coupon deal.

I remember being mad when the original 32GB n7 came or for the same price I had just paid for my 16GB. I'm just glad the bigger one is available at launch this time.

yeah same as me...I got the 16gb original one and was pissed when like a month or 2 after the 32gb model came out. Was it really so hard to make a 32gb model for the launch last year but yeah we'll see a 64gb model come soon hahaha but 32 is fine for me. I mostly use it for movies and stuff while I travel and to read flipboard in the morning

So I decided to cop the 16gb at best buy. 32gb sold out. I also realized I dont store much on my tablets but I do watch lots of movies, surf the web, read and so on but Ive never filled my old asus transformer 16gb tablet. I know many will go with the 32gb and it is always about the individuals preference. Yay to being part of the nexus family finally

Which Model Did You Get?

Myself, like many others, decided that the Asus Eeee Pad Transformer was the tablet of choice. Trying to find one without being ripped off was a whole different endeavor though.
Being as the 16GB version's price has inflated everywhere, and in some places up to $65 above MSRP, I decided to get the 32GB version, which was in stock, and still only $499. I noticed this was the trend in most places selling it, and I saw the $40 difference for double the memory as a no brainer.
So with that in mind, my question to you is, which model did you get? 16GB or 32GB? What swayed your decision? Did you pay above MSRP for it?
Chose: 16 Gb Version
Why?: Cuz It was On BestBuy for 399$ and I had a 32GB Micro SD from My HTC Thunderbolt plus and Extra 16GB micro sd from my old phone. Put the 32 in TF101 and 16 in TBolt. Boom. Got me a 48GB Transformer
Satisfied?: Hell Yes.
16gb from amazon.
32 GB from Amazon.de
not got yet but considering getting the one with the keyboard bundled which only seems to be the 16gb at the moment.
but the way i see it is that if i get a 32gb microsd card and a 32gb sd card for the keyboard bit (cheaper) then its negligable what the internal storage is
32 gb from Amazon.de as well. Trying to find a Swiss-French dock ever since
Will upgrade the Micro-SD as needed...
16gb. Exactly $399 on Newegg.

16GB from Amazon at $399. I figured that with the microSD slot, I didn't need 32GB. If I felt stronger about that much storage, I probably would've gone with a GTab, tbh.
I'm on my third unit now. Aside from the speaker issue and some moderate light leaks, I'm satisfied with the rest of the device. Overall, though, I wish I'd waited until Asus had the bugs out of production.
389 from tigerdirect. I found for most folks, disk space was being consumed by media/movies. Since I never planned to watch movies and only listen to music from Google music, 16gb was more than enough. After a month, I still have 11 GB free on the TF with another 8GB microsd and 4gb SDHC card
Bought the 32 GB here in Taiwan. Got a free 32 GB SD card and an Asus sleeve because of the messy pre-order.

I wouldn't say that to Erica Ogg of cnet, (an ipad fangirl with her head up her ass) according to her none of the Android tablets have caught on and sales have been 'uninspiring'

One 16GB, one 32GB, both bought at MSRP.
16GB with dock
Currys UK (bought in store)
RRP - £430.00 with free express delivery and 20% off a £35.00 case.
16 gig with a dock. Figured if I wanted more later I'd get a microsd card.
Bought the 32gig TF.
Using 32gig MicroSD.
Bought the Dock + using a 32gig SD.
96gigs. A fair bit of it is movies and porn.
16GB with dock at comet.co.uk
I got lexar 32gb class 10 for SGS 2, put it in TF now.
I bought a 16GB today. I bought in store so it was $26 sales tax. I'm not good at waiting. Newegg has them for the same price but I would have gotten it Monday.
32GB from canada computers. was on the waiting list for more than a month for the 16GB version and gave up waiting.
16gb from amazon. If amazon has none in stock it shows another seller that ups the price, buy from amazon and it's still only 399. I stream my music and movies, but the assurance of another 16gb would be nice but meh.

Thanks Ordered mine last night and was told should be here by Wednesday. I was waiting on the 64GB model but could be waiting for ever for that and even then it may never arrive knowing Samsung's past record.
I opted for the 16GB + a 64GB SD card.
I now know I made the right choice.
Looks like they have the 64gb version too!

32 GB MicroSD Card 14.99 Shipped From Newegg

LINK
Just browsing Newegg for a microsd card for my tablet I am getting soon and came upon this. Seems like a good deal if you are looking for a card. Newegg sells out of sale items fast so if you're on the fence, buy soon. Its a class 6 in case you are wondering. Free shipping and no tax for most.
Sold out

Which Nexus 4 did you buy? 8 GB or 16 GB?

Just wanted to know how many people ordered each version. Also, how many people settled for the other version if their choice was unavailable?
16gb
I got the 16gb version. I would assume that the 16gb version is more in demand compared to 8gb.
8gb.... 16 dissapeared so fast...
I ordered the 8gb version. I'll be utilizing the cloud services mostly, so no need for the extra memory. It was a hard decision though since the 16gb was only one click away from the order submission...
16 GB.
I got the 16gb version as well. You should make the question a poll so you can have the number easy to see.
Neither... :crying:
16gb if u can get one...
OK sorry for the delay! Poll is up guys!
16

16gb order went through around 2pm est after many many tries. I'm just happy and lucky mine worked for many it didn't

I got the 8GB. I use USB OTG. If it's anything like the Galaxy Nexus and that MTP connection thing, transfer speeds are going to suck.
Settled for 8gb even though the 16gb was in my cart aapbout 5 times. Damn you Google! I'll be ok with only 8gb anyway.

8gb, I live in the cloud baby! (Thanks to unlimited 4g data )
I went in hoping to get the 16GB just to future proof myself since I plan on having the phone for a while, but also tried ordering the 8GB when I couldn't get the 16GB to stay in my cart. Kept switching back an forth until one of them stuck and ended up with the 16GB.
got mine 9:11 PST. 8 GB. How does all of your orders look like? Mine says "Estimated shipping November 15th"
I settled for the 8 GB but after thinking it over for a while, I think I'll be glad i saved the $60. I'm currently trying the 'living on the cloud' thing and it's going pretty well since I have a lot of data (i have 6 GB).
16GB because I wanted it I ordered it together with a Nexus 10 16GB and got single shipping charge only.

CM10.1 will kill your Micro SD card .
I haven't seen the benefit of rooting this tablet yet? A LOT of apps are now multi-view supported- Touchwiz isn't that bad- and what? want titanium backup? Use carbon.
Wanna resize widgets? Get a new launcher.
