That's how the company pronounces it. Uhsoos or Aysoos. True, It was a play on pegasus, but not all countries pronounce words the same way :)

nexus 7

Instead of moaning here, people should be emailing or calling google to complain. I for one was lead to believe that by pre-ordering had advantages such as the extras they were giving (for a limited time) and that we would get them first. All the rumors that stores will have them at the same time needs to be answered by google. This has been handled badly by google they need to speak up soon or they will lose a lot of pre-orders the next time around. The 19.99 shipping was the price i willingly payed for these advantages, I am now thinking about refusing the order when it arrives, the money issue is not the point it is how they have handled this or should say not handled this.
[Nexus 7 General] flub:
You guys make me laugh ,the pre -order thing works in theory as a reservation so you get product on day of release. Not that you get before stores.

If Asus have anything to do with it and they handle it like they did the prime many who pre ordered it were among the last to get it.

I thought Google was releasing in UK the same time as US ? if so I think you all got a long agonising wait til the 19th

now hiding in corner waiting for backlash LOL
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
No US gets it before UK
[Nexus 7 General] DagsJT:
eBuyer and Dixons both listing as 19th when it's available.
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
It's only a holiday in Northern Ireland therefore they can ship tomorrow from Dublin if they so wish, assuming of course that they are even in Dublin. Dublin is handling your orders because that's where the European Headquarters are but it doesn't necessarily mean they warehouse products there. They may do for all I know.
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
Most of us who pre-ordered didn't expect to get it earlier or before anyone else. The thing that is irritating is the idea that stores may have it on the shelves before the tablet even ships to those who pre-ordered, which really would be lame.

I'm really not that bent out of shape over it; yes I'd like to have it in my hands as soon as possible, but I've sort of resigned myself to the idea that I won't be getting it until late next week so I'm not anticipating anything right now.
[Nexus 7 General] DagsJT:
I've emailed Google asking for some clarification on a release date and whether it's been a waste of time and money getting it shipped directly if I could've just gone to a store and picked it up myself without relying on a courier to bother trying to deliver.

I find it pretty astounding that we can get so close to when the supposed release date is and STILL not have a specific date from Google.
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
Where did you get that "supposed release date"? When you pre-ordered it the site said "2-3 weeks", which we're not even close to with a two-day delivery. Too many of you guys have built-up these expectations based on rumor and speculation, and are literally getting angry at Google for not delivering on a promise that you made to yourselves.
[Nexus 7 General] P1 Wookie:
I wonder if people complaining about stores possibly having them first will also complain about people getting them a day earlier because they were close enough to the source where it didn't take 2 days to ship to them. Lol
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Alright ppl got off phone with Google for the first couple days of pre orders they been processing and should see shipment today and so on..believe me or not I care less but this is what I was told

Enjoi and hope his word is good.
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Curious if mine is as well?. I ordered on the 5th

I read somewhere that somebody who ordered on the 5th had threes in the hub awaiting shipment.

Here is the post:
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
He said most well ship soon. But he said the orders from 27-1 will see shipment today and so on...and orders later will be right behind it.. so it won't be long for u
[Nexus 7 General] DagsJT:
Every article reporting from Google I/O says mid-July. I didn't watch the I/O myself but I imagine all of these reporters didn't magically pluck the date out of the air.
[Nexus 7 General] mikesm1234:
Ha my routine exactly.
[Nexus 7 General] feelinfroggy23:
Writing complaint now for Google. This is bs
[Nexus 7 General] brizey:
Today is two weeks if you ordered on day 1 like I did...I would say that is pretty close. And it was "ships in 2-3 weeks", not "arrives in "2-3 weeks". So first day orders are now in the originally promised window for shipment.
[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
IMHO, it will only be BS if stores are handing them out before the online play orders....until then I'm cool with google not shipping until 7/18....that would be the 3 week mark when signed up. although 7/11 would be the 2 week mark and it did say 2-3 weeks :D

Maybe today is the day....
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
"Mid-July" would be on/around the 18th. That's a week away and, hang on to your hat, three weeks from the 27th of June.

It's not my intention to be a **** but seriously, since when is the eleventh or the twelfth the middle of a month?

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 AM ----------

I guess "close" is a relative term. My point was that it's way too soon to be sending emails of anger and complaint to Google.
[Nexus 7 General] Hemidroids:
To be exact that would be 14 - 17 July. We are not even there yet. These crybabies have been *****ing for two weeks. 12 yo spoiled kids are better behaved then these idiots. To top it off they relentlessly call Google every five min.
[Nexus 7 General] jabsys:
When did google say you'll get it early be pre-ording? when you pre-order a game it generally gets delivered on the release day, why should this be any different?
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
Man don't go ***** to Google.. this week ain't over yet man relax
[Nexus 7 General] movieaddict:
i know i ordered mine on the 27th from google! So thats one good thought that keeps me going!! lol
[Nexus 7 General] bsquared397:
See, I don't think that people who preorder assume they will get their device before release date. However, preorders usually mean that those people are some of the firs people to receive their device. No one is complaining that they want their nexus before the 2-3 weeks. It's just that as preorders you would think we would be among the first to get them, not people who go into a GameStop 2 weeks after we order.
[Nexus 7 General] lemm813:
I refreshed the google play store until it showed up and ordered it as soon as it was available while still watching the google i/o presentation.

I hope it would be shipping today, but I've yet to hear any real reason for it being shipped today.
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
I think you mean on/around 16th :D
[Nexus 7 General] pmgreen:
Damn when to sleep and there was optimism that G would start shipping today and/or have it deliver prior to the boxshops getting it.. This morning, 100+ pages added and nothing positive. Unless you like reading people on this board bashing others.
[Nexus 7 General] brizey:
I do agree with that. The only reason I would call Google is if I were going out of town or something and wanted to see if needed to make arrangements to have a friend pick up the package when it arrives. I think we can still pretty much agree that there are zero historical examples of a phone CSR having any real info on an unreleased product.
[Nexus 7 General] fylim:
Anyone had their credit card charged today by Google for their preorder ? My bank told me there was an attempted charge for my preorder but then cancelled. It is still on float though.
[Nexus 7 General] th3drow:
Dont take things to seriously, if you weren't sititng around all day waiting for a shipping confirmation, you probly wouldn't be snooping around on this thread as well. Let people be excited about a product, and stop trying to act like your "way more mature" than everyone else or something.
[Nexus 7 General] feelinfroggy23:
Yeah i put in my pre order on day one also and im asking for the same thing. I want my tab before the stores get them. When i first pre ordered i was under the assumption only people who ordered through play store got the bonuses. I think thqts how it should have went but as long as i get my fricken tab before crappy gamestop ill be happy.
[Nexus 7 General] feelinfroggy23:
Dude if your going to be crying about our posts then DON'T READ OUR POSTS. Theres a back button forma reason.
[Nexus 7 General] Dorilife:
Believe it or not I get where your coming from but this doesn't mean people who pre ordered from Google play will get theres before anyone else..

In a perfect world maybe..

On another note..

Anyone think pre ordering 8gb and then canceling to get 16gb have an effect in the shipping date? Or release?

I've seen a lot of people saying they did this..cancel there 1st pre order to get the 16gb..
[Nexus 7 General] ajg74:
I think thats all of us who have pre-ordered via Google Play want, some confirmation from Google that we will get ours first (and soon maybe....) :D
[Nexus 7 General] jskahan846:
I think it depends if your second order crossed one of the invisible "wave dates" like July 1.
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
Outlook shows the 18th dead center in the middle of the calendar. If you want to use facts and numbers to determine the middle of the month, that's your deal.

And before anyone gets bent out of shape, ;) :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] sakanagai:
My preorder went in within the first half hour they were available. Had to order again, though, since the payment method had to be updated. When I placed the new order (7/4) they said not to worry about causing a delay as all of the Nexus 7's would ship at the same time.
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
Outlook also shows the first 4 days of August, skewing the visuals. Remove those 4 days and the 16th is the middle.
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
No bro, we're not asking for the same thing. I could give two sh##s whether I get mine before the stores. What I, and I believe the majority of reasonable pre-order customers, don't want to see happen is the Best Buy that I drive past every day to and from work put them out on the shelves while I'm still waiting for a tracking number from Google.
[Nexus 7 General] DagsJT:
That's pretty much it, yep.
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
Double :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] bsquared397:
Yep. I totally agree that people should not think that just because they order from play that they will get them first. However, I think it should be in Google's best interest to reward those who ordered early and from Google's own store by letting them receive their tablets before people who purchased them via third-party. Google has no obligation to do this, and no one should expect them to do so. We can just hope that Google understands our situation.
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
Not on mine it doesn't as my calendar weeks start on a Monday so mine says 19 July :p That's even further away now. Must have been where Currys in the UK were getting their date from :laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] feelinfroggy23:
We are asking for the same because i drive past gamecrap(gamestop) everyday and if i see them there going to be pi$$ed!!!! It better ship soon
[Nexus 7 General] Dorilife:
Ohh ok, thanks for the info.

I would be so pumped if people who pre ordered from Gplay have a nice surprise from google today or tomorrow..:D

Without any notice.
[Nexus 7 General] fylim:
Just called google. No more cancellations allowed. So very close to shipping now.
[Nexus 7 General] ACCUSED24:
Checks email.. no tracking info..

"-.-

I'm just going to drive into a wall now..
[Nexus 7 General] DagsJT:
Haven't they stopped cancellations for a week or so now?
[Nexus 7 General] bcvictory:
Are you in Melbourne or where? I'm interested to know where fellow Aussie N7 people are...
[Nexus 7 General] pmgreen:
This was thrown out there last nite.. but not holding my breath.

I thought GP will not allow a cancellation after 1 hour of an order. The shipping soon is what the CSR's were told to say (IMHO)
[Nexus 7 General] Scottatron:
I'm in Melbourne, inner Northern Suburbs.
[Nexus 7 General] t-readyroc:
At least the constant updates on this thread are entertainment enough while we wait.

Oh, & the tags are great, too.
[Nexus 7 General] bcvictory:
Oh cool, I'm in Bendigo. Hopefully being regional doesn't make me wait for the N7 longer!
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
There have been no cancellations allowed for about a week now.
[Nexus 7 General] hyperdude111:
Just contacted PC World and they tell me that they expect to have stock available

in store

by July 19th however pre-orders are likely to be shipped and received before that date.
[Nexus 7 General] DagsJT:
The tags for this thread are pretty funny:

12th maybe, ***** wait, must.. have.. nexus 7, nexus 7, ocd, will not be yours

:D
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
I'm in the UK, I ordered on the 27th June after the keynote, so pretty sure I'm in the first batch.

Payment has yet to be taken, but hopefully the rumours are true that it will be this week. :-)

I too would assume Google play pre-orders, especially early pre-orders will get it before stores start to sell.
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
Just called google. They told me that everyone's tablet fell into a dark abyss.
[Nexus 7 General] angrygnome:
Really? This is really getting old. Lets clear up a few things:

Look on pre-order on wikipedia:

Notice that it says nothing about getting an item early (or even on release day). It says "prompt delivery." As many people who have pre-ordered items online can tell you, many times you receive the item days after you could have purchased it in the store. It was your choice to pre-order online. If your Nexus 7 doesn't ship within the 3-4 weeks (from I/O) that Google has stated all along, then complain.

Also, to the people saying they want a refund for the shipping costs if they don't get their Nexus 7 before/at the same time as everyone else: Really? Shipping costs are for just that, shipping. Google is already almost selling these devices at cost and you want them to refund you for the cost of shipping it to your house? How selfish can you get?

I really have to wonder about people who are getting an amazing piece of technology at a great price and still find the need to complain.
[Nexus 7 General] clintonroche:
Lol...... 31 days / 2 = 15.5 so that would be Sunday at noon. Not sure that is happening. That is the middle of July. But mid-July would be from 10-20 sometime, they did say mid. Anyhow back to our regular scheduled ***** feist...
[Nexus 7 General] Fall Guy:
I cancelled on the 29th and have been waiting ever since. Three emails and three phone calls over 10 days, last one yesterday, rep concluded that it was now too late to stop it and I would have to either refuse it or contact they when I received the tracking info and they try to intercept it. Then 4 hours later the cancellation dropped into my inbox. :highfive:
[Nexus 7 General] RumDrools:
Ballarat! Let us know when you get yours hopefully mine won't be too far behind :D
[Nexus 7 General] garyart1:
Here is the two things I really can't comprehend in the whole mess:

1. We all know by now that the launch is eminent within the next week or so. Why can't a huge company like Google come out and say the device will ship on from GP ___ and will be available from retailers on __, This is a huge company, you would thing they should be organized to give a launch date when it is within a week. I can understand the secrecy of the device before the I/O event but not now. Shows lack on professionalism of Google as a vendoe of hardware.

2. Google hopes this device will have us flocking to use Google Play. Wouldn't you think they would want some people first expereince with GP to be positive and not this? I like most thought that the "extras" was for people who ordered through GP. That is how I justifed paying $14 for shipping. Well it seems I assumed wrong. I also figured that preordering the nexus on the day of release from the actual company that is shipping them would put me at the head of the line for receiving them. If this also proves wrong, my impressions of Google Play is in the crapper.
[Nexus 7 General] nandihno:
I am in Brisbane ordered on the 29th at 9pm which would be like 5 am the 29th on usa time so hoping to be in that first batch
[Nexus 7 General] raycpe:
My gut feeling is that we will know something by Mid-July.............

Ninja's in Paris!!
[Nexus 7 General] nickmv:
1. Hype

2. If you're on XDA and posting about worrying over your N7 tablet, then you've already surely experienced Google Play, and know what to expect. Newcomers that have their panties in a twist are few and far between. It's the Nexus and Google faithful that are up in arms, like you and me.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
When I ordered on the 27th it stated 2-3 weeks.

So, 11th - 18th

Including 2 day shipping, customers should receive between 13th-20th

As I ordered ASAP on the 27th, I'm hopefully for the Friday 13th, but hate that darn unlucky day. LOL

... That is if Google stand by their original estimates. :-)
[Nexus 7 General] th3drow:
quiet you!
[Nexus 7 General] txaggies07:
*THIS.

How anyone can argue that the 18th is the exact middle of July is beyond me. Also, mid July would be July 10-20. When I tell a client of mine mid month, that is as opposed to saying early or late month. July 11 isn't early July, it is mid July. Early July is July 1-10. Mid July is 10-20. Late July is 21-31.

Also, today is exactly two weeks since Google IO. I ordered on July 2nd when shipping still said 2-3 weeks. Thus, when I ordered I could only realistically expect mine to ship as early as July 16.

Pre-orders are usually to reserve a place in the initial batch. They don't necessarily guarantee first delivery. It is usually to guarantee that you are in the first batch of devices to go out. I pre-ordered because I did not want to risk the Google Play store, GameStop, Best Buy, etc selling out and have to wait until the 2nd batch is released sometime after release day. Also, just because GameStop might have them, that doesnt mean you will be able to walk into a store and pick one up as they might sell out very very quickly. I dont anticipate walking into store after store seeing all these Nexus 7s on the shelves while waiting for my preorder like some of you make it sound.

All that said....I want my Nexus 7...and the Galaxy Nexus I ordered as well.
[Nexus 7 General] teknhard:

Dude, I glanced at my Outlook calendar and 18 was right in the middle. I'm a generally intelligent person but I made a tiny error which I then acknowledged and made fun of myself for, and you have taken it way too seriously.

For that, I'm going to give you three :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: , a :silly: , and a :highfive:
[Nexus 7 General] clandest:
This thread is full of first world problems. You all need to calm down. Google doesn't owe you anything. They said mid July, so let them make an announcement before you all go crazy.

Good Stuff
[Nexus 7 General] KnoxBNYC:
I just talked to Google Nexus Support a few minutes ago. The rep said that pre-orders in their system are now locked: no changes (including shipping address change, which I was calling them about). This implies to me that shipping is going to happen quite soon.
[Nexus 7 General] thatguych4rlie:
It's been like that for a week. That is why everyone is so upset that they haven't shipped yet.
[Nexus 7 General] dadoc04:
thread is pure comedy
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
I can kind of understand repeating information that was posted ten-to-twenty pages back, but literally two pages back this same information was posted and it was replied that this has been the case for over a week now.
[Nexus 7 General] DarkRyoushii:
Melbourne, Eastern Suburbs haha
[Nexus 7 General] iucidium:
My prediction. 16

Because 1+6 =7 /eye twitch

Or

19, because N is the 19th letter of the alphabet.

Even with 2 day shipping on the 16 it will pretty much tun up to the 19th (18th being the day we all squeal like schoolgirls at our doorsteps)

:cool:

UK, Midlands.

[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
What bothers me isn't that Retail might get them first, its that Google has the units and are shipping them, just not to the people that ordered directly from them. There were reports of a GS getting like 2, because they had two preorders and they have to wait to sell them. So Google has the stock, and is shipping them, but only to Retail. Without any information about what is going on. Even a "we are shipping soon" email blast would be nice at this point and not a "I called them" post. Because the "I called them" posts have been exactly the same for the last week (you can't cancel, we are shipping very soon, they are in the warehouse, this week, first wave, second wave) while they are supposedly sitting in the backroom of retail locations.
[Nexus 7 General] shell_c:
I hope google hold back releasing and/or shipping the N7 because this thread is just too entertaining for it to arrive this week. :D

A little restraint, patience wouldn't be so bad. *waits by inbox* "but, the 18th isn't the middle of the month, it can't be" *cries with laughter*
