[Nexus 7 General] __Blaz0__:
I am totally loving my tablet as well. I am also glad I took my Kindle Fire back and spent my money on the Nexus 7. Even though I was without a birthday present for almost a month, I'm over all of that now. I also discovered how cool Google+ is. I am looking forward to all of the cool things that people will be doing with this tablet in the future.
[Nexus 7 General] raqball:
Love my GSM Nexus on 4.1.1 and my N7 on 4.1.1!!!!!!!

Its sad that most Android devices are now 2 OS releases behind the GNex... Samsung, HTC ect are HORRIBLE with OS updates..

The lack of OS updates, the manufacturer & carrier installed crapware is the #1 reason that I will never buy a non pure Google device again...

My .02
[Nexus 7 General] str8killinya:
Agreed just got a nexus 7 and gsm galaxy nexus and will never go back to anything else without nexus in its name
[Nexus 7 General] nebulous123:
I have had more OTA updates from the Nexus 7 in the first weekend than both my previous android phones combined. Thats in 3 years. SGS1 and the HTC One S. Pretty sad considering....

Love my Nexus 7, worth every penny and hassle of an unknown release date.
[Nexus 7 General] bso44:
Hasn't the N7 only had one OTA update? Your SGS1 and HTC never had one?
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
I'm starting to get this feeling too....

The Nexus 7 is my first true Nexus device (I have a Motorola Xoom WiFi), and I'm tempted very much to keep with the brand, maybe doe my next phone next year will be my first nexus phone too - everything just works as it should, and no more waiting for updates hassle.

BTW - the Nexus 7 is a beast, dead trigger, Riptide GP, Bang Bang racing, Fruit Ninja THD etc etc - All run silky smooth, and 7 inch tablets are 'just right' for gaming.

Really enjoying it :-)
[Nexus 7 General] raqball:
It's had 2
[Nexus 7 General] bso44:
Really? I've only had the one OTA that came up a little bit after I powered it up for the first.
[Nexus 7 General] tarusdg:
Nexus all the way. They just need to come out with a 10 inch and I'll be all set. My gnex and N7 need a big brother.
[Nexus 7 General] Tripsyk:
As a Best Buy Mobile employee I get an awesome deal on phone lines, so I'm snagging a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon and ditching my GS2 on Sprint.
[Nexus 7 General] CyberCitizen:
I have to agree with you - nexus devices are the best IMO.
[Nexus 7 General] The Janitor Mop:
If Google wants to guarantee I don't jump to WP8 they had better come out with multiple Nexus phones like some sites have reported. The HTC Nexus phone would probably be my choice unless the Sammy can impress.
[Nexus 7 General] Liquid_Cool:
Galaxy Nexus now and love it. Tc
[Nexus 7 General] lazl0:
I will only buy pure android products. Prompt updates no bloatware. Worth the extra money. Also manufacters customization on android leaves security hole. Most importantly the ease of getting super user.
[Nexus 7 General] muzhik:
...gnex always and forever...
[Nexus 7 General] skyyrocket:
I love my N7 tab and JB but i cant let go my Gnote for a nexus
[Nexus 7 General] marclile:
agreed, 100% before i got this tablet, i was all about HTC, but yeah, my next phone will definitely be a Nexus.
[Nexus 7 General] AufDerAutobahn:
It really is amazing, the only problem is as already stated: it's gonna beat everyone else into giving up on Android tablets. With a strong plan Google could absolutely carry Android tablets as "Nexus" by themselves anyway.

Back on topic, will get a Galaxy Nexus. The whole Android-as-designed is so good it's crazy!
[Nexus 7 General] The Janitor Mop:
Who said the next Nexus won't be an HTC? Or that there will only be one Nexus phone? My money is on multiple Nexus phones, at least one from HTC and one from Samsung.
[Nexus 7 General] sponkemonke:
Maybe we can see HTC's One series and the Nexus brandings to merge.

Call it: The Nexus One

/sarcasm

On a different note, I'm totally in love with this tablet. First tab purchase and proud!
[Nexus 7 General] jotei66:
Stunned and amazed with "my wifes" (mines on its way..) Nexus 7

The reviews have certainly lived up to the hype!
[Nexus 7 General] simonr43:
I have been used to a 10.1" screen with my transformer. I had some reservations about the 7"screen on the Nexus 7, but picked one up anyway. 2 days later, and the transformer just feels so huge and unwieldy. I have been converted! As with so many others here, when my contract is up for renewal at the end of the year I can feel a new Nexus phone will be the way to go to replace my Galaxy S2. Hopefully there will be a selection of nexus handsets to choose from by then.
[Nexus 7 General] bso44:
I'm an HTC guy too. I have an Evo 3D right now and had a Hero before that. And if the rumors are true that there are going to be multiple Nexus phones, I'll probably get the HTC one.
[Nexus 7 General] Nexcellent:
My Nexus One had more problems than my Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus combined, i'd rather Google stick with Samsung.
[Nexus 7 General] The Janitor Mop:
Why do people base opinions of entire companies on single products? I've had Samsung phones and products that were more trouble than my HTC. I've also had Samsung products that were less trouble. Sometimes HTC hits it out of the park with a device. Sometimes they produce a flop. Sometimes Samsung hits it out of the park with a device. Sometimes they produce a flop. I just don't understand the logic of "I've owned one of their flops before, therefore I will never buy from them again because that is an indication they will never make a good product".

Both companies are on top of the Android game right now, at #1 and #2. That clearly indicates that both are doing something right, which is why I'm interested in the next Nexus regardless of who makes it.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisbd1:
I'm feeling the Nexus love too. Since I pre-pay, I have to buy a phone with no subsidy. Either getting a decent used Nexus or saving up for the GNex.
[Nexus 7 General] Scythe024:
I own a GNote, while I love it for the size, leaked ICS and custom rooms don't = Jelly Bean. I find myself thinking my once fast From is now sluggish in comparison. While I hate that the nexus devices lack external memory cards, I usually don't fill up internal memory even without using cloud services. If the next nexus device ends up being larger, I may switch. Going from a nexus 7 to a gnote I don't feel it as being a small toy, but anything smaller then a GNote does (ie:nexus phone and iPhone)!
[Nexus 7 General] roltzje:
To me, they actually both have positives and negatives.

Nexus devices receive faster updates and better software support, along with having less lag.

However, I feel that skins from HTC and Samsung can add a lot to the table. There are very useful apps which are included with both manufacturers. I also find their skins to be more attractive, the stark JB/ICS theme just doesn't do it for me. Both Sense and TouchWiz look nicer to me. Adding widgets is far more convenient on my One X than on the N7, too. I'm sure the Galaxy S3 has a lot of nice touches too.

So I could see people going either way. I think the average consumer will prefer the look of Sense or TW over stock theme, though.
[Nexus 7 General] Surfy89:
I think the answer is that Samsung, HTC and all the rest should work harder on their software updates, so that their firmwares are less buggy and also released faster!
[Nexus 7 General] fishingfon:
I love my Nexus 7 more then anything other tech device I have ever owned, it has such a nice build quality.
[Nexus 7 General] tcsfinest:
+1
[Nexus 7 General] craighwk:
I'm starting to feel the same way about the Nexus brand. I'm curious to see what Google does in the future with upcoming Nexus devices (especially phones) and how much they sell for on the Play market. If they can keep the price where the current Gnex is, I think my next phone will be a Nexus and I'll switch to whatever provider it works on.
[Nexus 7 General] bso44:
They should be on all the major providers. On top of that, rumor is that there are going to be Nexuses from multiple manufacturers. I'm eager to see what the next HTC Nexus phone is going to be like since I'm a big fan of their build quality.
[Nexus 7 General] Hero_Guy:
Once Google puts out a phone that has a camera as good as my SII, I'm gonna be all up on it lol
[Nexus 7 General] ghost-5:
Build quality? I'm waiting for my third HTC One x to be repaired, but that is for another topic...

I love this tablet and its nexus features. However one thing that has bothered me with the last two phones is the technology in them is not cutting edge and the phone could have been released 6 months earlier.

I can't see this changing as Google doesn't want to put do/ annoy the other phone manufacturers.
[Nexus 7 General] Westfire:
This is my first experience with the Nexus line and I really do love it for the most part. I would say my next phone will be a Nexus but I'm sorry, Google's default productivity apps like Email, Calendar, and People just suck compared to what HTC has done with Sense. If Google can incorporate some of those bells and whistles into the the next Nexus phone and software release, I am all over it.

I know HTC Sense can get bogged down at times but it does have good uniformity and I have come to like that whereas Google doesn't have that completely yet although it is getting close. It just looks more polished when your widgets and such have the same design UI. To each his own.

In the end though, I am more than happy with my N7 purchase and am looking forward to many exciting days and development with it!
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
Lol they had me with the nexus one I bought of craigslist to try out tmos coverage before I dumped sprint with my nexus s 4g.

Now with my gnex, prepaid tmo, and ported my number to Google voice. Gladly paying thirty bucks a month for the exact plan I need.

I feel bad though I used to make of apple fanboys but it seems I am a Google fanboy now. But hey at least with Google services I get to save money spent elsewhere where in life
[Nexus 7 General] :
As far as Android devices go, I'm on the same boat with you. I went from a Nook Tablet to this, and my jaw is still on the ground! However, I would like to try a Windows 8 Phone when they come out and Microsoft Surface this fall. Ugh, so much technology, I want it all!! haha

But yeah, if it's Android, it'll be a Nexus from now on.

Nexus for Me

I've enjoyed tablets before. The iPad 2, Acer Iconia a500, a100, playbook, hp touchpad and the Transformer Pad 300. I even had an Android 2.2 tablet made in china that lasted about 2 hours on battery (LOL). My current phone is the Samsung Epic 4g and I really like it, but lag, and it's 4" display, though amoled, is just too small, even for me and I'm a woman. Got the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 and the screen is decent (not as vivid as my Epic), but again, there's some lag, and there just seemed to always be something off about my previous experiences.

After the first hour with the Nexus 7, it was like a revelation. I could have a great tablet experience, that does everything I need, want it to do and with NO Lag!!!! And poof, just like that, it was clear. It was the pure android experience. So from now on, it's Nexus, all the way.

My carrier contract will be up in September. I don't care how long I have to wait, I'm getting the next Nexus phone!

I hate to bring this up, but idevices show that you don't need "The" best hardware for a device just to work. So I won't be concerned with what's inside. As long as it's PURE ANDROID!
[Nexus 7 General] werperp:
I will have to second all the notions. Once you go pure Google or the like, you'll never go back.
[Nexus 7 General] Natron9:
Started with the N1 now on to the N7. Liked Jellybean so much I had to flash my N1 to jellybean. Only going with nexus from here on out.
[Nexus 7 General] Anouk69:
I concur. Started off with a HTC Desire and got a Galaxy S3 about a month ago. Although I love my SGS3, I would probably have picked a Galaxy Nexus after picking my Nexus 7 on Monday.

Sold my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 on which I ran stock and custom ROMs, and it just never were snappy enough. Hence, from a crappy user experience, I hardly ever picked it up. But now, Jelly Bean and the great experience on a Nexus 7, I have trouble putting it down!

Definitely will be getting the next "Galaxy Nexus"; hopefully we'll see something before the end of the year.
[Nexus 7 General] bwassef:
I use the hardware keyboard on my droid 4 a lot. I wish there was a nexus phone with a hardware keyboard. I may just try to get used to the software keyboards, although I'll miss the real buttons. So yes, my next phone probably will be a nexus
[Nexus 7 General] salfenito:
Welcome!

I have been hooked since the first Nexus One device. I work for T-Mobile so I get lots of phones to use but nothing ever draws me away from a Nexus device. Now, my N7 is making my transformer prime feel very left out!
[Nexus 7 General] After School Special:
I've heard worse ideas. More and more people are using earbuds with built-in mics or bluetooth sets. Might as well sit and play with the tablet while talking on the phone (via googlevoice) or skype.
[Nexus 7 General] rec71:
Couldn't agree more. My phone is a Sony Xperia S and if I'm honest I hate it and regret not getting a Galaxy Nexus. Give me stock Android every time.
[Nexus 7 General] byron84:
In response to the Nexus devices missing the extra polish on the level of apps and functionality vs Sense and TouchWiz, really? I thought the whole point of the pure Android experience was to give you a basic, default system that *doesn't* have any extras. It's fast, and it's ready for you to customize it. You put the apps you want on it. You put the skins, themes, whatever you want there to make it look feel and work the way you want. Most people that are rooting and loading custom ROMs on their devices are going the extra step to get RID of all the extra that comes with the manufacturer's UI and then start over and customize to their heart's content.

I can't wait for my N7 to arrive. I ordered it the 19th. The 24th it was marked as "shipped", I got a tracking number but UPS still shows they have not received the item yet. So much for $20 2-day shipping lol. It's all good, can't wait!

Same here.. Nexus is where its at. True, pure, android.
[Nexus 7 General] jd340:
Totally agree. Bought my Gnex back in April and love it. My wife bought a S3 and she is so jealous that I've got the latest update and she is still on ICS. Bought the N7 about 3 weeks ago and instantly fell in love with it too. I've even started my Nexii collection, having bought a second hand Nexus One. Still looking for a reasonable priced unlocked Nexus S. Long live the Nexii !
[Nexus 7 General] skychan:
Here's my story. When the first iphone came out, I struggled a long time about buying it. It was everything I wanted in a smartphone (at the time), except no replaceable battery and no sdcard, which really put me off. Then came the Nexus One! Pre-ordered it right away and haven't looked back. Since then I've been hooked on the Nexus line and never have thought of buying anything else. Now I'm rocking the Gnex and N7!
[Nexus 7 General] oaba09:
I currently own a galaxy s2 but after experiencing the quick updates of the nexus 7, I told myself that my next phone will be a nexus...
[Nexus 7 General] rtiangha:
With all of these different types of Nexus devices coming out now, if someone would make a Nexus QWERTY, then it would make this Android fan very, very happy.

But I too love my N7. It's the perfect size.
[Nexus 7 General] Jeff_in_LA:
I totally agree. One of the biggest factors for me is no hardware buttons. My GF's iPhone and my buddies S3, the button fails. Nexus - The fastest updates and pure google is the only way!
[Nexus 7 General] Sahkolihaa:
I bought my Nexus 7 on the 19th for £190 (16GB model) and it's by far the best Android purchase I've ever made. I will certainly be sticking to Nexus devices from now on as well.
[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
So cool to see so many people falling in love with the Nexus brand.. Make sure to tell your friends and family. The more the Nexus family of phones and tablets gets popular, the more the carrier and manufacture supported devices will hopefully stop dressing up Android like a cheap whore so they can provide faster updates and better service.
[Nexus 7 General] mk92595:
Yes its amazing. Will be getting the next Nexus phone as well.
[Nexus 7 General] 02busa:
Had all 3 Nexus phones to date.. Loved the ease of customization, and lots of dev. Timely updates as well.. BUT!!! I sold my Int. Gnex after getting my S3 for multiple reasons, and haven't looked back.. 1. Micro sd support.. 16GB onboard with a 64GB micro sd card makes for no space worries.. My nexus was almost full. Yes there's the cloud, but I like storing music & select files locally. 2. Screen is just as good as the GNex and slightly bigger... 3. Bigger battery & Battery life (self explanatory) 4. Faster more efficient CPU (self explanatory) 5. LTE!!!! Yes I know the VZW version GNex has LTE, but!!! I'm on AT&T with my Unlimited LTE data package which I fully intend to keep, and they flipped the switch on LTE in my area this month.. I LOVE 50~60+ Mb down & 20+ up speeds! 6. Camera.... No denying the camera on the S3 it better than the one on my GNex.. 7. Ext. Speaker sounds alot better than my GNex. 8. It's about the same size as my GNex, so no added bulk really. 9. 2GB of Ram is more future proof than 1GB 10. The S3 has plenty of Dev. for it, and it's just as easy to mod as my GNex was.. Software updates isn't an issue. Had Jelly Bean AOKP for months now.. If you're not the type of person flash roms.. well that's your choice.. Honestly the ONLY single thing I miss about my GNex is the on screen nav buttons instead of the cap keys & home button on the S3, but it doesn't really bother me.. I loved my GNex no doubt, but I really don't miss it. Will I get whatever new Nexus phone is coming out? Maybe.. But no SD support with minimal 8 or 16gb versions is weak... no LTE? , and non removable battery. These are deal breakers.. If they covered those bases, well.. I would buy it in a heartbeat.. Yeah, I rambled on here.. BUT they're all relevant points which i'm sure most of you can agree with.. :D
[Nexus 7 General] Duvuk:
Since having my N7 I've realised I want a nexus phone, problem being my next upgrade is May 2014.

I could sell the one x when the new nexus phone is released, but I'm pretty certain I'd be out of pocket as the one x won't sell for the same as a brand new nexus :(
[Nexus 7 General] ptesmoke:
I just hope the next nexus phone will be available to Canada through the play store. no way am I gonna pay $200 plus sign a 3 year contract for a phone that sells unlocked no contract south of the border for $349...that's just nuts.
[Nexus 7 General] bso44:
Since I started this thread, I actually bought a Galaxy S3 out of contract. It was originally supposed to tide me over until the new Nexus phones are released but I've been pleasantly surprised by my S3 - so much so that I'll seriously consider getting an S4 as my next phone. Still love my N7 and I'll definitely check out the Nexus phones when they come out but I'm not dead set on getting one anymore.
[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
That'll change the first time you go through the patented Samsung carrot chasing extravaganza of Samsung vaguely promising an update "in a few months" and OVER 9000 months later you finally get it just as the next version of Android is rolling out and you're instantly outdated again and wondering if and when Samsung brings you up to date officially.
[Nexus 7 General] 02busa:
Like I listed above, those are a ton of relevant points over the current GNex.. I realize the S3 is a newer device, but regardless of that.. The the lack of LTE, Micro SD support with minimal storage onboard, and removable battery are HUGE Deal breakers for me. If they address those things i'm all for the new Nexus.. Software discussed below...

As far as software updates are concerned... I'm running AOKP Android 4.1.2 since the day 4.1.2 code was merged by Google. I was running AOKP Jellybean on the GNex. Which one would I pick between the 2??? It would be the S3 all day long.. I have pure Android 4.1.2 now. Had 4.1.1 since the day the code was merged by Google as well.. The Galaxy S series has just as much if not more Dev. than the GNex. Problems with this Rom? Nope... Actually runs better than stock Android on the Gnex in every area. It runs better than AOKP on the GNex also. Granted newer hardware is a factor in that. Sure if someone wants the latest and greatest stock updates sure get a nexus. If someone wants the best of both worlds??? Learn how to flash Roms, and enjoy the envy I do when my 2 other buddies with Int GNex are envious of said advantages above.. But at the end of the day to each their own.
[Nexus 7 General] jersonf:
100% satisfied with my N7, as for my phone...... I brought back in February '12, fully informed and armed with the knowledge that it would be upgraded with official support, it turns out this is not the case.

So its highly likely the next android product I get will be a 'Nexus' or galaxy because of the strong support.

[Nexus 7 General] darkmatthew:
My next smartphone is Nexus <3

all updates,developers
[Nexus 7 General] jonhcox:
My Nexus 7 is my phone and everything else. Best of the best.
[Nexus 7 General] SpazticWonder:
I love my Nexus 7, but I just can't decide whether I should get whatever the new Nexus phone is or the Note 2. The Note 2 is huge and I love some of it's features, plus it comes with Jelly Bean 4.1.1 right out of the box. But the new Nexus will probably have 4.2 out of the box, but I'm not so sure on how much I like the fact that it's probably by LG with no expandable storage... again.
[Nexus 7 General] JesseMT4G:
As much as I love the vanilla Android experience, I don't see whatthe big deal is getting other phones with Bloatware on them....

I'd say close to 95% of people root their phones off here which mostly gets rid of the bloatware. Yeah you have to wait a little longer to get an update, bug many devs get working ones out just as quick as a nexus update comes out.

Don't matter to me. Love my T-Mobile S3 rooted/stock and so far stock n7.
[Nexus 7 General] altimax98:
For me it is a love hate relationship. I love little things AOSP, especially running CM10 and after you have been running Android for a few years you grow a collection of apps that do whatever the newest things Samsung puts on is new phones. That said I do hate how Google has been pairing with second rate companies to build its Nexus devices. I can personally guarantee that if the new Nexus phone was an HTC or Motorola they would have double the adoption rate. ASUS has horrible QC on the N7 and Samsung shipped the Nexus with a sub par camera, bad radios, and an abysmal speaker.

I'll keep running AOSP on my Tablets, but I'm intrigued by that New HTC DLX and I really want a phone with a good camera. The only thing that will pull me away is a Motorola Nexus..
[Nexus 7 General] artlove:
I am waiting nexus 10
[Nexus 7 General] jersonf:
If the next Nexus was made by Motorola... I would buy the next Samsung Galaxy *.

I would rather have below par equipment with great support than great equipment with no support.
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
Sadly Google is following along as it looks like nexus devices will not be having either of these anymore.
[Nexus 7 General] mrmaxwell78:
I've had my N7 for about 2 months now, can't believe I never got a nexus device before now, love the vanilla android experience, haven't put a ROM on it yet, might change in time, but for now the stock works fine for me.
[Nexus 7 General] xjman:
I've been a huge fan of the nexus devices since the first one. However they have their drawbacks and I rarely recommend them to people who use their phone as an actual phone, and not as a hobby device.

I can tell you I would have a hard time buying a Motorola nexus device, I absolutely hate them and have kept a long standing ban on their products. I'm close to that point with Samsung as well.
