[Nexus 7 General] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
I agree it probably is in waves only in so far as they get a shipment in from the manufacturers as a bulk lot then fill all the orders they can with it (in the order they were placed). The same way any business does. They aren't purposely holding stock back for successive deliveries. It is just that they way the receive batches in bulk will mean that their deliveries would tend to mirror that.

Me too & if they could sort out giving the UK playstore some cases for us to order I may actually levitate with joy.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
When is the last day to pre-order via Play Store & receive the $25 credit?

Also does anyone know if it's been confirmed that ordering from a re-seller you will still receive the credit? Google has said you receive the credit on whatever account you add to the tablet first, so does this just work for all tablets activated around the same time or what? This is why I'd believe re-sellers would also achieve this credit...

Re-seller just has it for $250 / 16GB with no tax & free shipping, so you save 30$ or so, but if you don't receive the credit it almost balances out?
[Nexus 7 General] thatguych4rlie:
No-one knows that yet.

You definitely do if you order from Gamestop. Can anyone confirm for BestBuy? I can't find it on their website.

It depends who you're buying it from. Once someone logs into the device and activates a google account, the credit has been given to that persons's account.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
What's Gamestop / Best Buy prices like? Do they charge you for shipping & tax, does it ship to the store and you can go pick it up, what's the deal with them?
[Nexus 7 General] thatguych4rlie:
Gamestop has instore pre-orders. Idk about bestbuy. Go look it up on their websites.

Couldn't find confirmation on Gamestop, but instore pre-orders ship to the store for free pickup? I see it says order online & receive free shipping, but it doesn't say much about instore?

[Nexus 7 General] panman86:
In store preorders are shipped for free pickup. That's how I ordered.
[Nexus 7 General] jamerican413:
I ordered in-store from Gamestop and was told that I would get a call when it arrives, for me to pick up. The guy that helped me said that all in-store orders are shipped to the store.

Well, my ebuyer despatched n7 began its journey about 20miles west of my house. It was next tracked 150+miles away southwest. Last heard of 40 miles northwest. Even once it's in transit it's not easy!

Anyone????
[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
anyone got a nexus 7 from a pre order? because all i see here are those who own shops that took one home.... boooooooooo
[Nexus 7 General] darkamikaze:
No. No one in California has received ANY changes from their play store order.
[Nexus 7 General] punitenshu:
Not in Cali, but ordered from the P-store a full two days earlier on the 27th, and I've not even been billed (the real charge, not the disappearing temp charge)--so good luck with that if the first buyers haven't even heard anything yet.
[Nexus 7 General] lovenokia:
Thank you, hopefully the damm thing gets to my house my saturday or monday

[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Probably middle of next week the way things are going
[Nexus 7 General] lovenokia:
ouch, that stings hopefully google can beat those expectations...
[Nexus 7 General] tylerwatt12:
so. I noticed that putting JellyBean on a device considerably lowers the true performance rating, scores in linpack, cfbench and Quadrant are lower than stock 2.3 or 4.0.4

I looked at the benchmarks for the Nexus 7 for CFBench and saw it was pretty damn close to the One X which we all know has android ICS.

So, maybe if this device shipped with ICS it would beat the One X in linpack, cfbench and quadrant apps.

The only benchmarking app that actually measured real world performance and UX was Vellamo which gave my Nexus a score of 1200 right above the Galaxy Note compared to 650 which the stock Nexus S has.
[Nexus 7 General] hajolo:
Did your Nexus 7 really arrive via Tapatalk?....:eek:
[Nexus 7 General] punitenshu:
I couldn't say for certain, but you'd need to be all sorts of dumb to ship before securing the payment. Usually the charge won't post right away, but the available credit will drop as soon as a charge is submitted. I've still got 100% of my balance so the chance that it's shipped is like 0.00005%, unless Google has massive stones and hopes I don't fill up my card between placing the order and them sending it to me.
[Nexus 7 General] lovenokia:
maybe the project butter is slowing things down, which makes it smoother, so how is the web browser? is it really smoother on heavy websites like theverge?

[Nexus 7 General] tylerwatt12:
everything is incredibly smooth for an Alpha rom. I haven't even seen one hint of jank after breaking it in for a few hours. Lag on the other hand is occurring more often, by lag I mean the time in between opening an app, and the app appearing(a process intensive activity). but transitions, scrolling is tremendously improved

Jank – chrome team’s term for stalling the event loop thread. Jank – not being immediately responsive to input. Eliminating jank: reacting quickly to events.

[Nexus 7 General] Jean_Baptiste:
Boom!

Ordered 2 N7s mere minutes after going live on GP - nothing to report, no emails, no shipping notices, no charges. Nothing.

Ordered off ebuyer at 11am (UK) yesterday - arrived at 9:15 this morning.

Take away - Pre-orders count for nothing, ordering from the 'source' means nothing. Google has a lot to learn about distribution logistics and handling large scale hardware releases. You'd have thought they'd learn after the frankly awful GNex release....

Anyway, off to play with my new toy :D
[Nexus 7 General] straxusii:
Don't be daft! Do you think you get it first by preordering on the official Google store as soon as it's announced, that would be crazy! They got it from eBuyer
[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
Stop your bloody reviews. IT'S PAINFUL

But do tell us how you ordered them, so we can figure out how come you got them first..

Google really screwed up here, at this rate people who bought one yesterday will have them a week before the rest of us who pre-ordered 2 weeks ago.
[Nexus 7 General] gavinfabl:
Status reality check.

Ebuyer and one other retailer dispatched stock in disregard to Google. Google told them to stop.

Next week is release date around 19th. Shipping will start on or before.

Wouldn't surprise me if a few retailers disregard Google again.

[Nexus 7 General] gavinfabl:
Pretty obvious as all in public domain. Physical stores PC World, Tesco, Comet, etc all have available from 19th.

My phone call to Google this morning.

Press reporting of ebuyer bring gold to stop shipping. Now showing available from 19th
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
It certainly looks that way but from my view Google Disregarded all their retail partners first my giving them a launch date and then not only not living up to it but waiting till the last second to notify the retailers of the change and putting it on them to look like fools to their customers, who cares if google gets pissed theyll have no one to sell any products to if they have no satisfied customers. yes i know im taking that to the extreme but its no less of a valid point.

Alright im going to catch a couple hours sleep goodnight everyone, best of luck, I hope many people get a pleasent suprise tomorrow, at this point everyone deserves to receive their order regardless of who its from or how it was ordered or anything. The circus needs to end.

[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
Google made a shambles of things. If you are in to tittle tattle then what seemed more obvious to me is that Google were initially going for 12 July release date. They changed that at the last minute. Whether that message got through to all retailers who knows. It seems Google is p!ssing around with the retailers in the same way they are with the customers.
[Nexus 7 General] gavinfabl:
Either way Google should now state what they are doing, Really poor communication.

Got Charged for my cover

So I've been trolling this thread for a couple of days now. I live in Southern CA and I ordered from Play on the 27th and just noticed a pending charge on my credit card (dated 7/12) for the case I purchased at the same time as the n7. I still haven't received any shipping emails but at least something is happening. I'm assuming that means I'll receive the case before the damn tablet!

AHHH!!!! THIS SUCKS!!!

They do have offices here, in the Bay Area, however the Nexus is being assembled in the US. I live exactly 160 miles northwest of Mountain View, but I doubt they are shipping them from there, I'm sure it's a warehouse somewhere in the US though.
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Called Google and the rep said they have no control over the retailers for selling and its all up to them to sell now :/ and ppl who ordered from Google play like me they will start shipping possibly late today-next week and for most cases if it ships today we should see it monday-wed but for orders that's later than the first might ship on Monday ...this is what I got .take it with a grain of salt blah blah blah IDC anymore ....I should have ordered from a retailer apparently ......made no sense to go straight to Google apparently :confused::banghead:

For the ppl that received it..glad u got it and enjoi it !! :p

[Nexus 7 General] xilefian:
Many congratulations to the ebuyer receivers!

Please make some videos of the device, everyone else who is waiting has probably seen every review video, but more would be nice while we wait!

For those who wish to know:

ebuyer has shipped SOME Nexus 7 devices in the UK as they were most likely abiding by their next-day promise for when they briefly had the devices on sale on their website, this has since changed to reflect Google's wishes, don't be angry at ebuyer or their customers, ebuyer was just trying to keep the promise they made with the next day delivery.

I am in the UK and I pre-ordered from Google Play on the 27th, the direct-from Google support is enough to make me satisfied with choosing Google Play, a refund on deliveries would be a nice gesture from Google, but you get what you paid for, and I for one paid for a device that didn't have a release date for that specific store (GP) and still does not.

In my head I'm still gunning for the July 19th date of release, just to make me feel better if it comes earlier!
[Nexus 7 General] Slay3rx:
Same here, just be nice if Google just announced something to let us know what's going on!

I still have my TI-99 4/A set up and running, it and all the cartridges and accessories all say "Made in USA", there isn't one "Made in China, Taiwan, Mexico, etc." on the stuff ;)

[Nexus 7 General] slack04:
In a thread that moves as fast as this one, I'm sure this will get lost soon, but I'm bored:

I ordered within a minute or so of the nexus 7 going live on play. Ordered 2 actually.

And guess what? I'm still excited to get my Nexus. Sure, Google ****ed up by not shipping the pre-orders first. But their goal (however completely unreasonable) was a huge, coordinated worldwide launch. One day on which everyone knows someone that is playing with their new toy.

So, let's all just agree that google should learn from this; They were dead wrong in expecting that they could create a huge groundswell without springing a few leaks. And they forgot that their early adopters are... well... you're all in this thread. It's people who create 600 page threads in a few days, with rumors that turn into expectations... Which then turn into anger, passion, injury... Google (or at least, their marketing geniuses) completely miscalculated this "2-3 week" launch time; it will hurt them in the long run.

But let's also agree that we'll all have Nexus 7's in our hands sometime next week. And remember how excited you were when you ordered it? Think about those specs, and the advantages of a nexus device. Think about the price you paid for that!

So for the folks that got them early: good for you! Don't gloat and don't react to the folks on here that can't handle the (self-inflicted) stress. Enjoy your devices and your freedom from this thread (seriously, leave this thread...). Go beta test for the devs so when the deluge of devices starts arriving, there's stable ROMs and Kernels for the rest of us!

And let's all just come back together and enjoy our new toy. See you in... better threads!
