If anyone is in anthem Tampa area I just got my 32gb last night from the Staples on 275 and Dale Mabry. Walked in and talked to the store manager and be said that they got them in today and sold one to me no issues or hesitation on his part.
[Nexus 7 General] JohnnyHempseed:
Yep, I did all the basics and obvious problems - still no luck. Very odd. I did a complete 4.1.2 factory image install and even re-flashed the bootloader again, even though it was already 3.41. Tried both CM10, AOSP, AOKP ROMS... still boot loop. I just said **** it, installed bricked .55 kernel, tablet UI mod, 720p mod and called it a day. Eventually, I'll get to the bottom of the problem when I have time to view everything in terminal. I may just throw this 32GB on eBay, be a **** and make a quick extra $150 and buy it again on release.

I live in India and I'm visiting Atlanta, GA from the 23rd to the 26th. Where should I possibly look for the 32 GB variant?
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
Staples, Office Depot and Walmart are the big 3 retailers in my area (Indiana) that carry the Nexus. However the 32 isn't supposed to be released until the 29th..
[Nexus 7 General] Zorua:
Yeah....I unfortunately already have my tickets booked. I doubt Walmart will sell it to me, and for all you know, Google would have warned Staples by then. Guess I'm out of luck. Oh well, I'll try anyway.
[Nexus 7 General] mrsatan:

Looks like the word is out to the Staples stores

Stores in Kingston, NY and Old Greenwich CT both refused to sell, citing release date of 29th.

I already have 16G version, so did not try too hard. Did not try to make nice with the associates or talk to store managers.

[Nexus 7 General] AlexGrama:
Oh, I understand. Yeah, I've been to the actual store here in Nottingham and I asked a lady there if they had it in stock and she said she thinks they do but she was not sure. After she checked the "stock" she returned with obvious "lying face on" and told me that they do not have it in stock and they don't now when they're going to receiving it.
[Nexus 7 General] Zorua:
I'm so hoping for it to come out on or before the 26th. :x
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
Sorry but it's not going to. The Google event is on the 29th and they are announcing it then. Staples messed up big time and Google/Asus probably has made it clear to all other vendors.
[Nexus 7 General] LHTB:
I think the UK's small size, relative to the USA, is counting against us here

In the USA I would guess it would be impossible to deliver all the 32gb for launch day nationwide, so stores are receiving theirs now, where as the UK is smaller and so they can have a stronger grip on the supply chain

Maybe they will react to the new iPad's pricing structure if they feel threatened, otherwise I guess it's a pre-order and collect on the 25th November that the local Argos gets their delivery

I just went to my local Argos store here in the UK. The gift guide advertises the 32GB as if it is for sale right now, so I tried to purchase. Was told it is out of stock. They informed me that they will be getting them in stock on the 25th. I will be going back on 25th, will be purchasing if they have it in then.

Happy with my 16GB. Here in the Netherlands we only have the 16GB model right now but the 32GB will probably be available soon.

But I barely use the internal storage. I only use my N7 at places I've got Wifi and with OpenVPN I've got access to all my AV :). Love being a little geek :D
[Nexus 7 General] akhan47:
I'm in the exact same boat. Wanted one for a while but once rumours of the 32GB model came about I decided to wait. Looks like Monday will be the day.
[Nexus 7 General] AlexGrama:
Yes, I hope so. Where will you but it from? Internet or store? :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] akhan47:
Store. Price doesn't concern me, I just want it ASAP. Don't want to be waiting for it to be delivered.

Can you name the store as well ? I've been in UK for a month now and I'm still not sure of how things work.
[Nexus 7 General] akhan47:
Tesco, Comet, HMV, Currys... whoever has it. Will go to each store in that order until I have it. If none of those have it I'll try some others. Online with fastest delivery option will be last resort.

$350 is not that much of a difference from a new one. In UK that would have been approximately 217 pounds which is 17 pounds more than the actual new one.

>why the Nexus devices don't have SD slots: its not because they're forcing us to use cloud storage its because they're trying to get rid of the two different locations for storage.

http://www.androidcentral.com/why-nexus-devices-have-no-sd-card

Yes, this "technical" gobbledygook was handed down from on high, and apparently accepted by the Google faithful. All the geek-speak in the world can't change the fact that devices w/ flash storage are limited, and need expansion capability. Apps can only get larger over time as they have more functions, and as resolution increases. This problem will get worse, and a 32GB device isn't a solution.

Google's mindset on this, if true per the explanation given, shows why Android is laggard on tablet: It still thinks tablets are like big smartphones.

One may recall that the same type of canard was given for why Android UI couldn't be as smooth as iOS ("because it's got real multitasking"). After two years and the Jelly release, we know it's just an excuse. The same applies to the lack of multiuser support and no storage expansion capability.

We're reasonably certain that multiuser will be in the next rev. Let's hope Rubin figures out that it isn't still 2009, and implement actual storage support. Android has so many needs.
[Nexus 7 General] titooo7:
It looks like it will be sold this month. It's already listed on the catalog of The Phone House (spanish branch of carphone warehouse)
[Nexus 7 General] compact_bijou:
Agreed, it's 8ollocks.

Google could easily implement 16GB or 32GB PLUS external storage but they choose not to .. to push the cloud.
[Nexus 7 General] maztahbr:
Shut up an take my money
[Nexus 7 General] Metallice:
I still disagree that its because of a push to their cloud services. Their logic for unified storage makes sense for phones. App2sd was clunky and resulted in slow apps. My droid incredible had 3 different storages - data and system, EMMC, and SDcard. It was a mess. For phones it makes sense to have unified storage.

HOWEVER, with tablets being multimedia consumption devices, the removal of expandable storage is a bad one. HD Movies, music, pictures or whatever are nice to have on a sdcard. The problem is that Google is looking at it like a phone instead of a tablet.

[Nexus 7 General] drewwalton19216801:
I agree. I only have a little 8 Gig N7 (and I absolutely LOVE it) but if they would release a 32 Gig version I would easily fork over 300-350 for it.
[Nexus 7 General] maztahbr:

[Nexus 7 General] MRsf27:
so true, I dont know what fear google has of putting a slot for an sd card
[Nexus 7 General] I Am Marino:
No fear I'm sure, just raises the value and could lower overall speed of device, not to mention the cloud services being pushed.

-Brought to you by Marino's Galaxy Nexus-
[Nexus 7 General] MRsf27:
the problem is that cloud service needs internet connection. when your out and about, you have no connection. with SD card, it's with you no matter what and you can access it no problemo. who cares about the speed? the nexus 7 is already fast enough to make me happy.
[Nexus 7 General] Keitaro:
There have been plenty of devices over the years that have had 32Gb and even 64Gb. I'm sure there's an earlier example but the only one I can think of right now is summer 2007 when the 1st gen iPod Touch launched with the largest size available was 32Gb.
[Nexus 7 General] :
The key word is 2007. Google needs to stop skimping and grow a pair with storage/SD slots or enable OTG out of the box. It's unacceptable that we are even talking about this now. Words fail me to hear of rumors of a new Nexus still at 8GB?
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
Whether a 32GB N7 happens or not, it's fairly obvious that 8GB is going the way of the dodo. Even 32GB isn't enough once tablets go multiuser, with each user needing his/her own storage space.

What's weird is that this storage problem was already loudly complained about last year, when the Xoom had no SD support from AOSP, and XDA/CM had to provide workarounds. At this rate, it'll be at least two years before there'll be an official solution. Android can't get anywhere with this kind of lag time.

The funny thing is that Amazon, who we don't think of as an OS provider, is the main driver in tablets. It drove the $200 price point with the KF last year (and got 20+% market share out of it), and this year it's driving 1080p tabs at $300. Both Google's N7 and Apple's iPad Mini are a direct response to the KF.

>if they would release a 32 Gig version I would easily fork over 300-350 for it.

You'd be the only one. Amazon is setting the price standard, and a 32GB 7" is $250 for this holiday season. The $300 bracket will be reserved for the 9" KF w/ 1080p (or iPad Mini). In other words, expect an N7 price drop of $50 to keep it competitive with the new KFHDs.
[Nexus 7 General] maztahbr:
I think its more like they replace the 8GB. Keeping the 16 and 32 model with the actual price.
[Nexus 7 General] SeaFractor:
This is likely it. Several years back, with my Nook Color (the incredible speed demon that it is :p), I'd looked for a decent 16GB microSD card. Until I found the XDA test thread, I'd made the mistake of purchasing a class 10 that was too slow and caused frequent lockups and hangs.

Since there are soooooo many different class of microSD, all which make great sense for a digitial camera, but are poor candidates for excellent application performance.

So someone without the benefit of this forum would purchase a Nexus 7 with microSD, purchase the 32GB microSD card that happens to be ultra slow, put's N.O.V.A 3 on it and then b*tches to the world how much the Nexus sucks because of the game performance from the microSD card.

Not Google's fault that slow microSD cards are out there. Rather than dealing with that issue, it's easier to leave it out and focus on the "end user experience". This is why you'll not find a single microSD slot on any of the Apple devices either. A 100% consistant hardware platform for support allows for the ability to better aim for the "end user experience" to be high.

Personally, having a microSD would be fantastic, I miss mine on the Nook Color. Putting one in and then providing a list of recommended cards and warnings about avoiding slow cards would have been a nice choice.
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
Nook Color had a problem with memory cards because people were running their ROMs from them, ie the system partition was on the SD card, not eMMC. The CL10 cards are optimized for seq RW (for big media storage), and are bad at small block RW. NC's SD card issue can't be generalized to other tablets, because normal SD uses are for storage, not to run the OS.

>Not Google's fault that slow microSD cards are out there. Rather than dealing with that issue, it's easier to leave it out and focus on the "end user experience".

Not sure what this has to do with Android's lack of SD support. It sounds like an excuse, similar to Goog's lame excuse of removing SD support "as two storage locations would confuse users." Neither is an acceptable response.

>This is why you'll not find a single microSD slot on any of the Apple devices either.

This is symptomatic of the copy-cat thinking that has dogged Android on tablet: If it's good enough for iPad, it's good enough for us. The problem with this philosophy is that you (Android) will always be a second banana. You can't beat the market leader by following in its footsteps. You have to do better.

[Nexus 7 General] JesseMT4G:
All for this, sometimes baffling they don't put them in. I understand the cloud, but still nowhere near as good as a SD slot.

I was a hair away from the 10.1 Tab due to this, but ended up sticking with this and love it so far. Only a few hours on it thus far.

I just have to manage it more and will do alot of downloading of movies off the PC to this and then deleting them soon after.
