I love my tablet. I seem to one of the really lucky ones though. My tablet has no faults in it at all, my screen is perfect, no dead pixels, and my speaker is loud and clear. I love this thing. :D
[Nexus 7 General] Solange82200:
My last 3 phones have been iphone (first the 3gs, then the 4, now the 4s). I love my Nexus 7 and would not consider an ipad mini (or any ipad), to replace it. My Nexus 7 does everything the ipad does, and and then some (Google wallet, flash, cool face scanning security), and the few things it doesn't do aren't things I want in a tablet anyway (camera on the back? Don't think so).

I probably won't give up my iphone anytime soon (I was given a DROID 4 for work, and and I still like my 4s better), but when it comes to tablets I will take my Nexus 7 over anything else every day.

I just recently got my Nexus 7 all the way here in south of mexico, wow what a nice gadget I just got. It is awesome!!!
[Nexus 7 General] ruckartj:
YES, YES, YES! This is my 2nd tablet and my favorite! It is so fast and the perfect size. My 10 inch tablet only went some places with me because of its size, but this one is the perfect size, I never leave home without it!
[Nexus 7 General] IAmRelex:
This is my first tablet and despite the screen lift I'm still loving it. Called Google and I'm waiting for my replacement.
[Nexus 7 General] Roland Deschain:
Still incredibly happy with it, and it's not my first Android tablet, either.

I have had the arches 101, Asus eee pad transformer, Lenovo ideapad k1 and now the nexus 7. And it is by far the fastest sexiest and amazing tablet I have ever owned. Love it.
[Nexus 7 General] pabs23:
It's the best device I've ever had. The form factor is perfect for me, it hardly leaves my hand!

I use it exclusively in my house, I have a network drive where I have mapped my shares on my N7 (requires root and cifs):

All my flax music plays in Poweramp, artwork and metadata all libraried automatically.

All my TV and movies play great in BS player

Comics are all picked up in ComicRack

My email has never been so organised, 5 accounts all IMAPed, including my new outlook email.

Social media services, blogs, and picture services all have great apps in the store.

The build quality is excellent regardless of price, and the device is very responsive, though Chrome can be a tad laggy occasionally.

Battery life is superb - I get a whole days use with frequent use, including watching a few videos and streaming music off of my NAS.

I'm not the biggest handheld gamer, but playing my sega master system roms on the MD.emu is consuming more and more of my time!

I love the notification implementation on Android, and the facility for app developers to incorporate interactivity to their apps into the notification area.

This is my first Android device, I've got an iPhone and a Windows phone and have always wanted to try Android - I am not easily impressed (I'm sure I'm not alone on these forums!) but I can confidently say this is the best device I've ever had (I'm no spring chicken btw lol). I don't believe the Nexus 7 is an iPad competitor, it is a complimentary device to larger tablets imho, and my habits have no need for a larger tablet - the N7 ticks all the boxes for me!

I'm still happy with my Nexus though it has developed the screen raise, still works fine though, I don't want to change it till the lift has been recognised by Goog/Asus and steps have been taken, a change now would leave me with a Nexus likely to develop raise and potentially another or more of the many issues reported.
[Nexus 7 General] Tapek-AU:
I have not had a single issue with mine yet, everything about it is pure awesome! When I am not on my computer, I am on my N7.

Was worried reading these forums before it was delivered that it would be defective since majority of threads are complaints about needing to return it several times but both N7's we ordered here are flawless and winning!
[Nexus 7 General] rayandreas:
I have my replacement now and to tell the truth, I was happy with my first one. I only replaced because I use screen protectors (have a 2 and 4 year old boy) andd was worried about water getting into the screen where it is lifted. I got the screen protector on and my case. im happy!for 200 bucks this puppy rocks! I have no regets and the smoothness of this little guy beats everything out there. Be happy with your N7. its the coolest tab on yo block!
[Nexus 7 General] therealbroxy:
I have had it for a week now and have used it while travelling on business, I used to have a xoom (well still do, now I have the nexus i might take it apart and try and fix the touchscreen issue i have) and I love the size, fits nicely in my hand, it fits in my suit jacket pocket so I do not need to carry it.

It is fast, the display seems much better than the xoom (in sunlight) it is light.

the price is great and I am thinking of getting a second one for my wife.

Highly reccomended
[Nexus 7 General] jamaro1985:
Extremely happy with mine. Prefer it over my Xoom.
[Nexus 7 General] bourne-nolonger:
This is my first tablet.

I spent a few months trying to decide if I wanted to get a 10 inch tablet or a 7 inch tablet.

I decided on the 7 inch because I figured if I was going to get a 10 inch tablet I might as well get a laptop.

Anyway, I just got my Nexus 7 (aug 1st) and played with it most of the day and so far I am really enjoying it.

Perfect size for browsing the web, watching youtube, reading emails, etc.

I especially like it because when you laying on the couch and looking through it your arms don't get tired and it isn't

awkward at all to hold.

Build quality feels top notch (I have read about the numerous issues people are having with theirs though). I haven' noticed anything yet, although I have only had it for a day.

I especially like the rubber backing!

I have noticed that the screen seems to be super sensitive. Like I have noticed the tablet appears to be doing things on its own at times, like switching desktops or exiting out of applications. I am sure I am accidentally doing it with a light touch, but it just seems weird. This in no way hampers my opinion about the device thus far though.

One thing that REALLY surprised me as well was how well I could actually see the screen in the daylight. I had it outside yesterday and angled it in such a way that the sun was shining right down on the screen and I was still able to make out what was on the screen with very little difficulty. I was expecting it to be hard to see so it was a nice surprise.

I would definitely recommend this without a doubt!

Cheers
[Nexus 7 General] derelict:
I remember about a year ago reading an article that said that all tablets would default to 10" and that the 7" guys would all eventually go away. Of course I knew that was a crock because my Nook Color was exactly the right size for my needs and I had traveled with it extensively. My only problem with it was that it was a little too slow and I wished the battery lasted a little longer. So I was waiting in anticipation for one of those super cheap 7" tegra 3 based tablets that were hinted at during CES (I think it was CES) earlier this year... Now that I have my N7, it is truly everything I wanted in a 7" tab (except for the missing SD slot of course). So absolutely no regrets here, and with all the speed and smoothness I am finding it a million times more useful than my trusty Nook Color...
[Nexus 7 General] LonelyTV:
I've really enjoyed my Nexus 7. Luckily, I haven't had any issues yet with it and I hope to keep it that way. If only I could find a way to attach it to a Sixaxis controller so that It can replace my PSP as my travel emulation device.
[Nexus 7 General] fozzir:
Just got mine today, 16 gig, Ordered on Monday, got it today! Feels heavier than my GT+ only it's faster with less storage.
[Nexus 7 General] Stevenator21:
Love it so much, especially the size.
[Nexus 7 General] -df-:
Yep!

I thought it might be to small, and after getting it, I loved everything other than web browsing as the tabs/address box took up to much room and wished it had another 1" of screen real estate.

Switched to xScope and use full screen browsing...after that I was happy.

Just switched to tablet UI last night and now I think 7" size is perfect! No more big menu bar at the bottom, back/home keys on the left are much easier to use (I like landscape mode).

Very happy with it after a couple of weeks use...in fact the more I use it, the more I like it.
[Nexus 7 General] NJGSII:
After a few weeks of ownership, I'm just as happy with it as the day I unboxed it.
[Nexus 7 General] tgerbracht:
Absolutely love it. No problems whatsoever.
[Nexus 7 General] guthrien:
Love it. Only fault for me is the lack of 3/4G which would make it a true all the time mobile device. I don't find tethering as convenient. But the Google map offline mode is awesome. There is still the occasional weird software wonkiness I associate with android and not the Nexus. For the price I can't see replacing it because both phone and tablet software works well.

I have used Samsung Tabs of this size and they were utterly unconvincing to me that there was a point to a 7" device. This seems almost essential and as revolutionary to my mobile life as the iPad was. I think that shows how good the Jelly Bean experience is, especially in a mid sized device.
[Nexus 7 General] gogol:
How did you change to tablet UI?

Change the dp to 160?

I read that has issues with Play Store and some apps.
[Nexus 7 General] JimTDI:
I hear that!
[Nexus 7 General] mtjoy:
I love the N7 and do not have any regrets purchasing it. Coming from a TF101 I just wish there was an SD card slot. That should be resolved when I get my OTG cable.
[Nexus 7 General] Phalanx7621:
Only thing I'm disappointed in is not being able to use Google wallet because of being rooted. Wish I could have the best of both worlds. :)
[Nexus 7 General] fatboypup:
I'm rooted and use Google wallet fine on my N7 and GS3
[Nexus 7 General] cornelious2:
ya I think 7" is a really nice sweet spot and I am using it way more than I ever used my iPad.

I just got my 16gb baby yesterday after ordering on Tuesday! Hats off too Google for getting my device to Connecticut in less then 2 days!

I was using an HP Touchpad running cm9, over clocked and tweaked and it is an OK tablet but this Nexus 7 is just amazing for $250! It is 100% lag free and is the fastest tablet I have used. The display is awesome and I even like the default launcher.

I will be rooting etc but it is tough to make this better.. I am so happy with this buy. Finally a value for the money..

Hey guys, if I root this will I still be able to get the updates? The first time I used it, it updated to Jellybean..if only my i9001 plus had jellybean...smoother than butter if you ask me..lol
[Nexus 7 General] Hai Karate:
N7

I'm delighted with the N7.

The only issue I had was the screen separation on the left side but taking off the back and removing the little black foam strip pretty much took care of that. And even then, I wasn't as concerned about the screen being slightly raised as much as I was annoyed by the sound of the tape underneath sticking and unsticking.

For the price, it's just an unbelievable device.
[Nexus 7 General] vincepg13:
Yer well its caused my transformer prime and one x to become near obsolete. I use tablet talk to have phone functions through my one x and I really like gaming on 7inch tablet, so much easier to hold etc.

Jelly bean has been the main reason though, its so smooth it just makes me happy. Owned the device for about three weeks
[Nexus 7 General] egorre:
I'm now using Nexus 7 more than my Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 (T-Mobile variant)

i would like Google to release a 7 inch phablet, actually. I think that would be a killer.

I do Internet a lot and Nexus 7 has been doing its job well running on my phone's hotspot.
[Nexus 7 General] ManMOuntain:
Absolutely loving this tablet. After a rocky start with the first unit having a faulty battery, this tablet I can't put down. Such great value for money :}
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
Using it everywhere and much more frequently than my now tiny little 4.3" that serves as a companion Verizon LTE hotspot. Perfect size for one-handed use in-car.
[Nexus 7 General] nooomoto:
I had a Xoom for a little over a year and thought it was great. I'm liking the nexus 7 more than that. So yes, still very happy.
[Nexus 7 General] 3vo kid:
Perfect in every way. My family uses ipads a lot and in my opinion this is so much better :D deff worth the money
[Nexus 7 General] cryporchild:
I haven't done anything at home besides use my nexus 7 since i got it. In fact, i don't think i have any clean dishes left. So yes, very happy!
[Nexus 7 General] Dennelly:
Couldn't be more happier with my little fast device :)
[Nexus 7 General] mlp673:
Couldn't be happier :) I have to agree with everyone that the only bad thing is I can't put it down!
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
Was without one for a couple of days due to selling the 1st perfect unit to a buddy so he didn't have to wait and returning the 2nd unit due to screen flicker. Was so happy to finally get my hands on another perfect one and an excellent $14 Case Logic LNE07 sleeve with separate pocket for charger/cable to go along with it. I take it everywhere since it's so portable and it WIFI tethers off LTE nicely.
[Nexus 7 General] parmend:
Man I'm sellingy iPad on eBay right now so I can get this tablet . The only thing that scares me is all the defects I've heard people have. I had the original transformer and it was ok the build quality was horrible . I guess for 250 you can't go wrong :)
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
Buy it from a brick and mortar so you can find a perfect one before you pay and leave the store. Bring a hotspot along to activate and make sure you factory reset whichever one you don't buy to wipe your account info.
[Nexus 7 General] bhorocks:
That's funny you say that unless you changed your signature!
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
I agree. Can't put it down. Now I just need to find a good case. I bought a brookstone one for kindle fire. It fit and was nice quality but it covered up headphone jack & volume/power buttons.So i took it back.

I have had my n7 for a couple of weeks, it is flawless! I also have a Motorola Xoom which just got its jelly bean update and a HTC one x neither of which I use any more, the Xoom is now used by my wife and I am selling g the one x. The n7 on the other hand is my permanent companion, I love the size, the ui, the battery life, the speed, everything! It has restored my faith in android!

I think I finally found one dead pixel in my N7... It is flawless otherwise. Now that I see it, I can't un-see it! GRRRRRRRR! I love this tablet, though...

EDIT: Never mind, my screen was just dirty and an initial cleaning didn't get rid of the 'dead pixel' I was seeing :) these forums get you quite paranoid about it!

LOOOOOOOOOVE IT!

[Nexus 7 General] DarkRyoushii:
From a product standpoint I absolutely love it! so smooth, fluid, and doesn't show any signs of lag no matter what I throw at it.

From a personal standpoint, I don't think I should have bought it purely because it doesn't fit in my lifestyle very easily, the only time I use it is around an hour a day on the train too and from class to read the news, but even then I need to tether the internet from my phone, and so I could just as easily make do with the phone alone.

That being said, if you want a 7" tablet DEFINITELY get this one. If you want a 10" tablet DEFINITELY get the ASUS TF300.

I am happy with the nexus 7. I still wish they would have charged extra for hdmi and sd card slot. I do use stick mount but that's a pain to have dangling.
[Nexus 7 General] RaiderX29:
I love my Nexus 7. I have a Asus Transformer Prime that was retired because of it. My Nexus 7 has been flawless. I truly couldn't be happier with my purchase and the 7" form factor is a huge upgrade over the 10" form factor IMO.

[Nexus 7 General] jinside:
I think you need to get it if it fits your needs. Personally I use flash, stick mount, Swype, text to speech, and speech to text. If Apple has answers for those uses as good as android I would probably be an Apple user. Profiles will probably be a new requirement once implemented.
[Nexus 7 General] hismadnezz:
Thanks to everyone for their answers....
[Nexus 7 General] betsuni:
So far I am happy with it as a 7" tablet. It is a decent daily use machine surfing, reading and gaming. Not to mention portability. The only downsides I see with it over my 10" tablet is that reading comics on it is a slight pain and some apps do not work on it. But overall I recommend this unit to friends who are thinking of getting a Fire.

Edit: Glad to hear you got yours and love it! Now go and spend that $25 before it burns a hole in your pants.
[Nexus 7 General] FTMDan:
I'm undecided at the minute. It's a lovely piece of hardware, but at the same time I don't really travel that much and I don't use devices when lounging in bed. Whenever I have spare time during the day, I am always at/near my computer anyway. My N7 has barely been used since I got it; I mean, I've rooted, installed apps etc. but I am debating whether or not to just get a refund.
[Nexus 7 General] ezegm:
To answer the question, yes I'm still happy with my Nexus 7 to an extent. I'm really not a fan of the screen's contrast and color reproduction, no key popup on the keyboard, and some other stuff. I'd root and unlock but I'll keep it stock and unaltered for now.
[Nexus 7 General] mtfsandlin:
I use it all the time. I think that my phone is getting jealous. I'm using it for web browsing, videos, books, texts books for school even, and I'm loving it. :)

I'm running a third party launcher with 27 widgets across 5 home screens, streaming full HD video over WiFi with audio routed to a Bluetooth speaker with NO lag or stutter whatsoever.

I had a Notion Ink Adam 3G PQI, interesting and innovative, but the battery life sucked so bad it was useless unless plugged in while using it or not.

SG Note, too big as a phone, too small as a tablet.

SGS3, excellent phone.

Yes, I enjoy my Nexus 7, very much. Gaming, tinkering, browsing, tumbling, tweeting, faque booking, XDAing, jellying (others). Yes, I like my N7.
