[Q] Buy 32gb Nexus 7 Now, or wait for next one?

Hey guys have a question. Ive been wanting another 7" tablet for awhile now and the Nexus 7 has always been at the top of the list. And just as I was about to finally get it all these rumors and announcements of the next nexus 7 come out. As you all know Staples has the 32gb on sale right now for 199, and theres a coupon code to get another $30 off. I have one on hold and reserved for me at my local Staples. So I am trying to decide if I should wait or buy now. If its true that the new one will be 299 as some rumors speculate, then the price difference between the 2 is about $140. As far as what I need in a tablet it would be pretty basic. Games, emails, web, etc. I dont need a camera, or LTE. So theres not much of a difference between them for what I need it for. One of my main concerns though is all these people talking about the performance drops, boot issues that some are having. But I also read that it might be just the 16gb version that are having issues. So anyway I figured here is a good place to ask to get some good info and advice. TIA.

Actually my 16 gb n7 performs quite good. But wait for next one.

Well it depends on you, the new nexus will have a snapdragon s4 quad core and 1080p also, and the 16gb I believe will start at $250 but correct me if I'm wrong. I have a 32gb WiFi and it runs like a champ. That sounds like a good deal for $170 as I got my 32gb for $250 so good luck on your choice.......rumor is Taiwan will get the new nexus 7 at end of month so you could check the web to see if you like or not!

I had a 16gb and its was laggy, but I decided to get the 32gb version when I broke the 16gb and got my square trade payout. The 32gb has been great, its stable, fast, and don't even have any light bleed.

Here you go, coupon back up good until 7-21.

Let's look at the facts. The new gen it's probably coming next week, but, if the rumours are true, it should be a little mre expensive, starting at 229$ aprox. If i were you, i would wait and see, and if the new Nexus it's worth the price, i would grab that one.

I envy you. Here in Chile, i will have to wait like 2 months for the new Nexus just to arrive and be in the stores.
Anyways, i see you will wait for it. Good choice.

I'd like to do that but I don't really have the funds . I'm torn between getting it sooner or waiting for motomaker customization...

Wonder if the 30% coupon people are using to get it on contract for 139 would work if buying it outright.

While I would have liked to have seen it come in at $499 and $549, I agree that $549 isn't unreasonable.
I don't understand, when it was thought to be $499, EVERYONE was like " oh yeah, it's mine" and "take my money" but all of a sudden it it $50 more expensive and everyone is like "oh hell no, no way Samsung you aren't going to rip me off"
Doesn't make much sense to me that $50 would make that big of a deal but hell what do I know. All I know is I still plan on getting it!:good:

Yeah, I would have obviously been happier with a lower price point. But when the new Nexus 7 came out and it had a small price bump, it was a pretty reasonable thing to do. I'll definitely be getting one at release.

Yes I was expecting 499$ too .... What a shame, I'm still getting it tho

Couldn't agree more.
This was never marketed as a budget/low-cost tablet. This is the (as far as I know) top-of-the-line Android tablet for the foreseeable future. I'm pleased to see it start that low. Heck, I know that's already a lot cheaper than the Note 3 I bought, lol.

If they will do the convert Dollar -> Euro, in italy the note will cost 449€.
But i think they will sell this at 599€...

no far
dran them all E408 why the USA have too pay $550
The 16GB Wi-Fi version will be available for purchase at $549.99 / €408 while the 32GB Wi-Fi version will be priced $599.99 / €445. Both versions can be ordered directly from Samsung or Best Buy, Amazon or Walmart and others.

Well the comparable closet high Android tablet is Sony Xperia Z Tablet with S4 Pro quad core CPU and 2 GB ram and only 1080p display which is selling for £399.
Note 10.1 on the other hand has better CPU, more RAM, better (or at least sharper) display and Wacom digitizer, I can't see how can it could be same price or cheaper then Sony.
It's pricey but that's this the only android tablet with pen function, so we don't have the luxury for shopping around for cheaper price.
The same reason old Note 10.1 never really came down in price.

Please don't post if you can't bother to format or spell correctly.
This price does indeed suck. Samsung seems to overprice and make us wait for sales. Problem is that online purchases will be taxed soon inside the us. The note 8.0 was priced 399 us dollars at launch but can be had on sale or refurbished at 299 and below which isn't too bad. 499 and I probably would've just bought it at Newegg right away but I'll wait on reviews and some custom roms first. Hopefully someplace will have it for at least $449 tax-free before the stupid Internet tax hits.

PSA: Moto X 16 GB drops to $99 on Contract from AT&T (Updated)

The Moto X (16GB) just dropped to $99 on contract (upgrade or new signing) at Best Buy. For AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/07/moto-x-drops-to-99-at-best-buy-with-new-contract/
Decisions, decisions.
UPDATE:
Moto X drops to $99 on contract with AT&T for 16 GB and $149 for 32GB (this includes Moto Maker)
http://gigaom.com/2013/10/25/customized-moto-x-price-drops-to-99-on-contract/

yep. went in last night for a price adjustment. =)

Question is, will the 32GB on Verizon next month be $150? If so, i would definitely be willing to give up the customization from motomaker.

Right that is what I was referencing. I'm hoping best buy will have the lower price on the 32GB version when it comes out then.

After browsing BestBuy and Amazon, it appears neither offer the 32GB. Is it only available on Motorola's site or in the AT&T store? (I assume therefore will only be available in the Verizon store once it's out for them)
If so, I may just go ahead and snag up the cheap one at best buy. I can live with 16GB for over a $100 savings.

For those not in the know. There is a Motorola trade up program right now where moto will give 100 back for people who have older Motorola phones

Could mean a free moto X if your interested.

The 32gb is only available through moto maker. The stores or Att directly doesn't offer the 32gb. I thought about selling my 16 and buying a 32gb but like you said it's over 100 bucks in savings to just get a 16gb version.

according to http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/10/10/moto-maker-tipped-bring-moto-x-customization-best-buy/ BestBuy will have motomaker booths. I hope that this means customization and 32 GB options with the BestBuy discount. I will surely pull the trigger then

Looks like the sale is over The verizon30 code still works on Verizon's site, so I think I'm gonna pull the trigger at snag it for $139.99 unless anyone else here knows of a better deal? My problem is, my billing period ends this Sunday (I'm switching from Sprint to Verizon) and I don't really want to hold off that long. Amazon does have it for $99, but back ordered 1-3 weeks. Not to mention, I may be adding other family to my plan in the next 30 days so that might be hard to do if Amazon has an additional contract prohibiting change of the plan.

updated with new offering from ATT

Well, looks like Motorola is not honoring any type of partial refund/price matching for Moto Maker devices. I purchased a device directly from Motorola (through Moto Maker) on Friday of last week. After calling this morning multiple times and asking about processing a partial refund for the difference in price, I was told that "prices are subject to change" and always offered a $100 Motorola online coupon good for 30 days and only valid on select accessories.
Needless to say, I was a bit miffed! I guess I'll just have to try processing a price guarentee through AMEX and see what happens.

[Official] S5 Google edition

Any word on when will a Google edition version come out ?

so far no details, only rumours and speculations.

There have been rumblings that Google will announce the Samsung Galaxy S5 Google Play Edition on April 11, but for now we'll have to wait to see if those rumblings turn into reality.

I'm going to guess it will only be available to those who live in the states and surrounding areas...which is quite sad for me

You can always buy it via US google play store, have it delivered to an intermediate post-forwarding company that sends it through to Aus.
It will be more expensive yes, and you would have to pay an import tax, but it's an option.

We wait for the update there in AU. Hoping it will not be that expensive.

pretty sure a GPE S5 is going to be at minimum 700 dollars closer to 800, consider they are charging more for a 16gb S5 unlocked than a 32 gb m8 unlocked...also the m8 is 699 GPE with tax ur almost at 700, whether the s5 is worth the money is your choice, personally I dont see it being worth the amount they are charging for a regular s5 let alone the premium a GPE will cost, if your only concern is stock android get a nexus 5 for half the price and call it a day.

Will it still be the anemic 16GB or will they finally offer us a 32GB version?

You have no idea how jealous I am now

It sucks that Google and Samsung are not announcing or denying the release of the Google play edition, HTC did the right thing by announcing it at the same time they announced their phone, I think it sucks buying the s5 and finding out in 3 months that there will be a Google play edition after all, yes you can flash the rom on your phone, but not everyone will give up their warranty because of it
I'm also surprised to see the little amount of interest on xda for the Google play edition, how can you live with touchwiz, it's so ugly, well maybe that's why Samsung doesn't bother, it seems the public is happy with touchwiz, only bloggers, tech magazines, designers (like I) bash it
