Brand new at Walmart $350 for 32GB
[Nexus 10 General] dilfred:
How did you get on with this company? I have seen them many times, but never used them.

Has it all arrived safe and works well?

The price just seems a little too good to be true.

Thank you

Freddie

Expansys is a well know tech supplier of many years.

I don't see the price as that good. Only 16gb, not 32gb, and £220 ($352). I paid $278 for 32GB and many got theirs for $300. Taking into account UK 20% VAT you'd expect UK sales price for 225 for32GB.

Don't get 16GB anything, its full, only get 32GB or forget it. I got 32GB Nexus 10, 7, 5 and swapped up the 7 32gb from 7 16GB and from 4 16GB to 42GB as 16GB is near full very easily.
[Nexus 10 General] Canis-X:
I know that a new Nexus 10 is due out this year but I don't want to spend a lot of cash on a tablet. I found a 32GB version used for a decent price that includes some accessories, is this tablet still worth it being 2 years old? I'm not a power user or anything, just want something that is usable for basic use.
[Nexus 10 General] nigelhealy:
Depends how cheap. Its CPU is slow memory slow if try 3 things at once it resets. But apart from that.....

See it as a decent screen decent sound tablet for watching media and judge a price for that.

I got Nexus 5 7 10 and the 10 crashes if I do too much on it vs stable 7 and 5. I love my N10 for sitting and watching media like Hulu BBC local MP4 etc but I am wanting robust reliability I use N7.

As to what G will do next I don't know but my guess is a N8 to replace and merge N7 and N10 so if my guess is correct then don't buy the N10 unless you can get cheap say $250.
[Nexus 10 General] Canis-X:
Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it! I guess my dilemma is that since I have never owned a tablet, I am not really sure what I would be doing with it most. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 that I use a lot, love the portability of it and it strong enough to handle most anything that I ask it to do. I guess I don't really want to have a reduction in the performance capabilities between my phone and the tablet that I choose but I am not sure that I want to spend $200 on a N5 that doesn't have an sd card slot and only has a screen that is 2" larger than my phone. Sigh, I am at a loss...LOL

Have any other thoughts/opinions/suggestions?
[Nexus 10 General] nigelhealy:
A used N7 2013 32GB is often available about $140. New is $190. I got a refurbished for $170. Check Androidpolice dealalert. Its a fast stable platform and if you then later sell it you'll lose little. Its only drawback is its not glorious 10" screen.
[Nexus 10 General] Canis-X:
Thanks again for the response (also thanked you through the forum :good:).

I stopped by Best Buy to check out the N7 and get an impression of the size performance, etc...etc. One of the employees offered me some help and showed me all the tabs in that size-range and then told me about the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 8.4 and that it was on sale for $250. Really preferred that size a little more. The screen seemed sharper and and overall performance a bit snappier, that coupled with the SD card expansion was a deal maker for me so I grabbed one. I know that the battery life is a little weak but I can flash a new kernal and/or ROM on it to get rid of the bloatware and help improve battery life.

Once again, I really appreciate your input and more importantly your time. :good:
[Nexus 10 General] xuanphucn:
bought mine for 100$ on craigslist a few days ago. It's like brand new. :cowboy:
[Nexus 10 General] abdel12345:
Wow that's a great deal. Can't go wrong at that price and u could probably sell it for more on eBay if u didn't want it. I got mine first couple of months after release brand new for a lot more lol. But I did buy it 2 years before you so I guess I got my value at the time. Now maybe in another year the nexus 9 price will drop a lot to like 150 and I'll upgrade from this to it
[Nexus 10 General] Hayth:
I bought my Nexus 10 from expansys at the beginning of the year. They had a limited amount of 32gb models. They were European versions but it was brand new and came with a micro usb cable and a UK adapter. It cost me £255 inc all taxes and delivery which I thought was a good deal. It arrived extremely quickly and I can confirm they are completely legit.

However, I went to buy my dad another from simply electronics as they were offering it cheaper. Whatever u do avoid this company at all costs! Like a noob I didn't read reviews of their site, and it turned out that you may get your order as expected once in a blue moon but they are generally bad news. They claim to be UK based but they're actually in Hong Kong. Weeks after paying and chasing, we received nothing. Finally, after threatening legal action we received an apology email and a refund.

On a lighter note, since I've received my Nexus 10, I've rooted it, debloated it and I'm running it on stock 4.4.4 with the latest ThunderKat kernel. I'm also using nova launcher with the fastest animations and it's running well. You can tell it's not a 2014 tablet but it does a great job, and being a nexus, it'll soon be getting a proper version of Lollipop :)
[Nexus 10 General] ghettopops:
Just nabbed one off of Swappa for $160.
[Nexus 10 General] Rage1ofakind:
WHAT. That's CHEAP!
[Nexus 10 General] ghettopops:
Best $ I spent in a while. Looking at Nexus 10 or GN 10.1 2014. Still might grab one of those to.
[Nexus 10 General] jarocho151:
Just updated to 5.1 and man this is what the nexus 10 has been waiting for! So much faster and smoother!
[Nexus 10 General] cueball19826:
I am wanting to buy a new tablet and originally wanted the Nexus 9. However after reading reviews it seems like I should wait until HTC gets things squared away. I've wanted the Nexus 10 for a while now, but I'm curious as to how much longer it will be relevant and if I'd be wasting my money buying one now. I know it has gotten the Lollipop update and is running great but I don't think it will be getting many more as it is fairly old. So, should I go with a Nexus 9 and hope I get a good one? Go with a 2013 Nexus 7 and just be happy with the smaller screen? Or go with an old Nexus 10 and hope the developer community keeps things up to date for a while?
[Nexus 10 General] nigelhealy:
There are many other choices.

For me the reasons to NOT get the Nexus 9 was it has 4:3 ratio meaning a lot more wasted screen for 16:9 videos relative to other tablets (Nexus 7, LG GPAD 8.3, Nexus 10, etc), plus it was silly high money (but Appletards would think it reasonably priced).

I got the LG GPAD 8.3 in some sale months back cost me about $199 I think, and it is perfectly fine, it can be held in one hand like Nexus 7 and has a big screen nearly all useable by 16:9 videos, and a SD slot (I got a 64GB for $30) so its got plenty of capacity, and it is well supported by Cyanogenmod and custom ROMs, I'm running a AOSP with small tweeks ROM so that is basically very close to what you'd get with a Nexus device.

I'd not buy a Nexus 10 now if I didn't already own one due to its age, mine is now getting rapid battery death if left unplugged for more than an hour so I use it in my bed to watch videos and only unplug for short times moving around the house. My GPAD is my more take-from-home device.

If I were buying something now, I'd look at the more recent sales of the Samsung Tab S 8.4 but confirm the CM support. Or if i were looking for a faster machine look out for sales of the Nvidia Shield Tablet.
[Nexus 10 General] cueball19826:
Thanks for the response. I had also thought of the Galaxy Note pro line, but those are quite expensive and coming from the Galaxy S4 on Verizon, it left a sour taste in my mouth. With a tablet though, I may not encounter some of the lock downs that are administered by Verizon.
[Nexus 10 General] nigelhealy:
The N10's primary benefit is large good screen and forward stereo speakers so its a pleasure for just media watching, but by modern standards it is slow so dont load with many apps or use Greenify to keep the key apps only running.

I have a OnePlusOne with plenty of fast everything so I tend to use that next to the N10 when at home, e.g. watching Hulu on N10 and during ads look at other stuff on OPO. So long as you don't overload the N10 it is a dream for media watching.

If you do go to buy used N10, make sure the battery isn't old fried.

The Tab S should be coming due to some discounting... Android Police usually are fast with letting you know of offers, use RSS to be notified for [deal alerts]
[Nexus 10 General] Danwms:
Are the 32s sold out for the nexus 10?
[Nexus 10 General] The-Kevster:
Check your Google Wallet transactions at https://wallet.google.com

One order from my phone didn't go through and another from my PC went through for the 32GB Nexus 10. I can see the Nexus 10 in my google account under orders and I had two transactions in my Google Wallet. Cancelled the one that didn't link to the tables in my google orders.

What a mess!!!!

Fingers crossed it all goes through. No confirmation email yet.
[Nexus 10 General] Jezwick:
Got me a 32 tablet, didn't get a phone though.. The whole process was a buggy nightmare...
[Nexus 10 General] yazooo:
been trying for an hour. no luck!
[Nexus 10 General] MrHat001:
I assume those who've got a 32Gb tablet managed it before 8.45am as it's been showing as sold out since then (well 'Coming Soon').

No amount of refreshing seems to change that.
[Nexus 10 General] skally:
Still no luck

This is a total abortion. I have 2 cancelled orders for the Nexus 10 32gb due to my payment method being declined (debit card). There are more than adequate funds available.

Maybe Apple have a Patent on successful product launches
[Nexus 10 General] Lumsdoni:
Have I, haven't I?

No idea, now, chrome crashed but there is 32gb Nexus order in my Google Wallet saying Pending.

"13 Nov

You placed an order with Google Commerce Ltd on 13 Nov. Google Wallet sent a copy of this receipt to email@email.com"

I have to say less than impressed with google over this launch, the store appeared to open around 8:25am, when surely most of the population are on their way to school or work. I had to try and do it by phone which crashed and then by the time I got home, the server kept dying.

There is no reason for a company with the infrastructure that google has for it to be unable to handle this. It crashed Chrome on my phone and computer, gave me half a dozen different error messages and now I am in a state where I don't know if I've ordered something or not, checkout didn't appear to complete but wallet says they've sent me a confirmation email.

If it had completed properly I could just wait for the inevitable backlog to clear and relax, whereas now I don't know whether I should re-order, or go elsewhere.

I emailed cust. services with the apparent order number, simply to confirm if it had processed, but I reckon they'll be snowed under.
[Nexus 10 General] yazooo:
you'd think they could update the page to reflect accurately what is going on. if it is sold out, just put it up there so i don't waste my time!
[Nexus 10 General] kavey:
godammit. had to leave for work at just past 8am and saw the 32GB for sale. got to work and now out of stock as well

grrr
[Nexus 10 General] Danwms:
Settled for a 16GB
[Nexus 10 General] npras42:
Phone them. There is an 0800 number. I just spoke to them to cancel some of the orders and confirm everything was ok - 3 orders had gone through without me realising. I only waited about 3 minutes in queue. The call centre is american. The guy who helped me was quick about it and only needed my google email address.

EDIT: 0800 328 6081
[Nexus 10 General] yazooo:
trying to resist that myself. am travelling for a month in 2 weeks and desperately wanted a tablet to keep me company!
[Nexus 10 General] MikeBuck:
Yeah the 32GB version of the 10 and the 16GB version of the 4 are the same just has "Notify Me" where the smaller versions have "Add to Cart", I'm guessing sold out, I also noted that there's no accessories page for the 10!

Bummer!
[Nexus 10 General] Danwms:
Could you not make use of a USB stick?
[Nexus 10 General] Lumsdoni:
It's quite funny really, I've been umming and ahhing over Nexus 10 or Note 10.1 for a few weeks now and couldn't decide as they both had different things going for them.

In the end I decided to let fate make the decision - I'd try and get a N10 when the store opened (stayed up to 1am until I saw that it would be 8am).

If it sold out or I couldn't get through I'd see it as a sign that I didn't need to spend that much money and get the Note for £268 (inc cashback) from Tesco.

Now not knowing if the order went through is the one outcome that leaves me with neither LOL.

UPDATE: Just received confirmation email from Google, there's no indication that it was sold out when I placed the order, still says 2 days from dispatch and may take 2 days to process orders and dispatch hence 3-5 days.

Fingers crossed.

That was fun eh?

As you were.
[Nexus 10 General] yazooo:
I could, just frustrating as I wanted the larger capacity version. But I'm not far away from a hard drive at any point, I'll give it 5 more minutes I think.
[Nexus 10 General] Araam Abdal:
Skally, same exact thing happened to me mate, you need to call your bank and make sure they will allow the payment, some banks will stop the payment thinking its fraudulent.
[Nexus 10 General] npras42:
Yeah that is the exact reason I missed out on the HP Touchpad fire sale from a year ago or so back, I tried so hard to get it that my bank thought something fishy was going on and blocked all transactions.
[Nexus 10 General] ExiledWool:
Hi everyone - first post

I managed to get a 16gb, which is the one I wanted. Took a few attempts but I expected nothing less on a launch day.

Looking forward to receiving it now after the debacle I had with the Xperia Tablet S and it's case problem.
[Nexus 10 General] MikeBuck:
i'm seeing the 32GB version as add to cart again!!!!!!!
[Nexus 10 General] Nuwidol:
Yeah, I had a phone call from Barclays. Probably because I tried a thousand times. It went through in the end though so I can go back to sleep now :P
[Nexus 10 General] realyweely:
Bit ridiculous what with the 32Gig being taken off sale
[Nexus 10 General] skibadee:
Ordered 32gb no problem (uk) :)

wonder how long delivery will actually be?
[Nexus 10 General] yazooo:
I can't even get the 16gb version now, in the cart, click buy and it just comes up with an error message
[Nexus 10 General] Araam Abdal:
although euniomo

Great, so google decided to cancel my order without letting me know even though i got a confirmation email of the purchase, I then contacted them on their stupid 0800 number to try and resolve it, spoke to some Deon about it who is a manager and said he'd have to wait for his manager to come in, took his name, where he worked, but when i asked for his surname he said one second and that was the last I heard from Deon.

Dear Google,

Sort your selves out. Its not even acceptable.
[Nexus 10 General] chugglet:
I have had an email receipt confirmation from Google Play and an email confirmation from PayPal MasterCard stating that a payment has been sent.

Delivery stated 2 days when I ordered but now says the same as before I ordered - 3-5days.

Either way, it looks like I have a 32gb on it's way!!
[Nexus 10 General] phemark:
Came in to work at 9am, checked for Nexus 4, all gone.

Checked Nexus 32gb, was available - ordered, got confirmation email.

Wasted 10 pounds for delivery (all items ship for 10 total), but will at least get Nexus 10

Going back to refreshing Nexus 4 now...
[Nexus 10 General] Lumsdoni:
How did they cancel it, in Google Wallet?
[Nexus 10 General] Araam Abdal:
Yeh through the wallet.
[Nexus 10 General] dcnice:
Well it turns out that so far I have ordered 3. Only got confirmation for 1, all the rest errored. Successfully cancelled one of them and hoping that the other will be successful as well otherwise there will be hell to pay with Google. I cannot affoard to spend nearly £1200 on tablets. I only need 1. And why is it taking so long to to send out confirmation emails and for the order to show up onmy account? What a joke.
[Nexus 10 General] yazooo:
still have a 16gb in my shopping cart, but same old error every time i click buy.

what a complete fail.
[Nexus 10 General] Menschik:
I ordered 16GB Nexus 10 at 09:04 and the Payment is still pending in Google Wallet. Anyone else with this?
[Nexus 10 General] problaze:
^^ Definitely works THANKS!
[Nexus 10 General] nick w:
THANKS!

just checked my wallet and saw 2 orders!!!

Did think about keeping 2 and selling one, but seeing a total of £600 + i cancelled one

Play support over the phone was excellent!

waited 3 mins as NPRAS42 said!
[Nexus 10 General] Lumsdoni:
Yes, but i scanned the T's and C's and I think payment only comes out on dispatch.
[Nexus 10 General] VelliKulho:
I'll be more than happy to buy the remaining one from you!! :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 10 General] MikeBuck:
All this confusion means that I decided to wait and buy it from a store not online! lol
[Nexus 10 General] dcnice:
Well I rang them on their 0800 number and total time (waiting and speaking to them) was 12 minutes. Not bad! However it looks like I will be receiving 2 devices so will have to refuse one of them. They are however contacting shipping to let them know that one will be refused. At least they are doing something. Still not happy that notification of all the orders did not comne through until it was too late. Maybe the other half would liek one as an xmas present (or maybe I would prefer a refund)!
[Nexus 10 General] Lumsdoni:
And breathe, after all the "excitement" I take back my small rant - having phoned Google the after sale service was exemplary which is more important to me than a few F5 issues. Order went through and has been confirmed over the phone - really helpful.

About 8mins to get through.
[Nexus 10 General] corh5:
Hi,

I have the same problem only order one yet 2 orders are showing, I have 2 pending google wallet transactions, took over 60 minutes to get through to someone on the phone, they said they would cancel one and I'd receive an email shortly, that was over an hour ago and Google wallet is still showing 2 transactions. My credit card is showing £800 of pending transactions, am not happy.

Those who have cancelled are the cancelled ones still showing as pending transactions in your Google Wallet.
[Nexus 10 General] VelliKulho:
My problem is that i can't get the device and even if i'd managed to actually buy it somewhere, now one is willing to send it to Finland. So if anyone will have spare ones, i'm more than happy to discuss about buying and paying even little extra :)
[Nexus 10 General] realyweely:
Its continually changing from In stock to Not available yet when I click buy when in stock I now get

Items in Your Basket

Oops, we had a problem with your request. Please try again.

Your basket is currently empty.
[Nexus 10 General] nick w:
After calling my wallet shows one cancelled and one active order.

There are options to cancel orders in Google Wallet but do you know which one google cancelled? it maybe a case it takes a while to update? although mine was instant, put phone down, f5, shows 1 active and one cancelled

N
[Nexus 10 General] dcnice:
I have 2 showing as pending and one showing as cancelled. I am unable to cancel one of the other 2. After speaking to Google a little earlier, they have said that google holds ontot he order for an hour. It then goes off to shipping. During that hour you are able to cancel the order. After that you are not. You will either have to refuse part of the delivery and the courier will return it or you will need to request an RMA and return it to them suign the pre-paid UPS label that they will send you. You will then be issued a refund. So it looks like your card will be charged nearly £800 when shipped (like mine will be).
[Nexus 10 General] nick w:
I think this could be down to the fact orders were placed multiple of times for users, thus stock is fluctuating back and forth as it tries to correct itself?

Keep trying

Maybe the users who have active orders of 2 or more, ping them an email?
[Nexus 10 General] realyweely:
Can you actually order by phone? from the UK?
[Nexus 10 General] agegsg:
Hmm, when is the US Play store going to let people order? Same as the UK at 9?
[Nexus 10 General] ContentsMayVary:
It was 8:00 in the UK I think.
[Nexus 10 General] Atmazzz:
I saw a post from someone that called them and they were told 9am pacific time,12 noon eastern time.
[Nexus 10 General] agabe:
is it available in UK playstore now, or not anymore ? (I'm outside from UK, and my friend from there is not able to check, because he is on the way, and will return later afternoon)
[Nexus 10 General] Arcus01:
Just ordered a 32gb Nexus 10 here in the UK 10 minutes ago. Had given up hope, kept occasionally getting the Add To Cart button rather than Notify Me..., but would always error when clicking on Add To Cart... then out of the blue it got added to the cart, and the checkout process went fine (although did a double-double check to make sure it was the 32gb version).

Clearly some stock is still leaking though, so keep at it guys.
[Nexus 10 General] poisike:
If anyone has one that they don't need, I would gladly buy it.
[Nexus 10 General] realyweely:
Nope, well not the 32 gig version anyways

the 16gig is available
[Nexus 10 General] chugglet:
I just spoke to a guy at Google play because my order was still showing as pending even though I had been emailed a receipt.

He confirmed my order and said that the delivery in the UK should be 1-2 days! :)

He said that the site is a little slow at the moment as they have been a bit busy!

He also confirmed that there are no 32gb tablets left in the UK. :(
[Nexus 10 General] agabe:
Thank's guys... I'm sad a bit, but hope will available soon.

Didn't they tell when will in stock next ?
[Nexus 10 General] poisike:
Is it correct that N10 16gb is still in stock in UK Play Store?
[Nexus 10 General] Menschik:
Yes
[Nexus 10 General] realyweely:
Its still showing as in stock yet the 32 gig isnt
[Nexus 10 General] doumer:
today is an epic fail for google.

10 min until all was sold out? is this a bad joke? couldn't even place an order to fail at failing wallet server :crying:

this really sucks google.
[Nexus 10 General] Miracle1980:
I really don't understand why google don't let us pay and buy the items and then ship them once they are available. Why do we have to ''fight'' and get ''nervous'' even to start the NORMAL BUYING PROCEDURE?

WTF!
[Nexus 10 General] corh5:
I'm so angry and upset. I've spent another hour on the phone to Google to be told that even though I called within the time frame the first person did not cancel my order and that it is now physically impossible to cancel the first order and that my only choice is refuse delivery when it arrives, I should then get a refund eventually. I've even spoke to my credit card company who say's they are unable to help.

Google said it was best to refuse order rather than accept it, I spoke to a supervisor who confirm this and that I should recieve 2 seperate orders. I hope it does not come in one big package as I'll be really stuck then.
[Nexus 10 General] yazooo:
still can't buy the 16gb version. maybe something with my work proxy or cards. have tried two. what a complete pain.
[Nexus 10 General] faulkton:
google needs to work on their product launch process.
[Nexus 10 General] johno86:
Hopefully in the future people will not be so quick to refresh and order again because it says error. Should always check to see if a payment went into being processed before trying to re-order it. It's simply being responsible and not thinking you won't ever get a Nexus 10. If you're determined to get a Nexus 10 I'm pretty sure you'll have one eventually - even if it's not right at launch.

So everyone have some patience and don't screw yourself.
