[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Boldra:
I've owned a N7 2012 for about a year, and I have a buyer for my old one, so I'm looking at upgrading. I haven't used a stylus device in years, but I used to love them: precision text editing, sketches to supplement an explanation, and unambiguous link clicking in the browser.

I expect longevity from my devices, and my previous experience has been that the charging connector breaks first on every mobile device I've had. This gives the N7 the serious advantage with the Qi inductive charging.

OTOH, the Note's performance is more future-proof: a 96GB Note (thanks SD-card expansion) will stay useful longer with a 32GB N7, and the benchmarks also come out clearly in favour of the Note: (Slashgear Note 6900 http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/quadrant_gnote8_attwtmk.jpg vs N7 5600 http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content...enshot_2013-07-25-13-17-52-google-nexus-7.jpg ).

But the performance doesn't count for all that much, since my main use for my current N7 has been reading: PDFs, e-books and websites. I use it mostly around the house, and my phone when I'm out and about.

Can anyone suggest something I haven't considered that may be relevant? The price isn't going to sway me much one way or the other.

Thanks

I prefer note 8 due to larger size and I won't mind carrying a slightly bigger one. Was coming from 7.7. I would have taken if it's nexus 8.

Happy user of note 8.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Torethyr:
I don't know what I can add except my reason for buying a Note 8.0--the pen. I bought my Note for school to replace everything in my bookbag--no more notebooks, no more laptop, no more text books. So far I'm very happy with my decision. I was also considering the new Nexus but because I wanted the ability to take notes, the lack of a wacom pen was off-putting. The Note was well worth the extra money for me.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] GuestK00442:
I'm split between these two devices also. The new Nexus has the 1080p screen and prompt updates in its favor. The Note 8, suprisingly has a very good screen despite being 1280*800, but don't expect to get any updates for this. I mean you can always go AOSP or AOKP but that defeats the purpuse of even buying a Note. So if being stuck at Android 4.1.2 forever doesn't bother you the Note is a good choice.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] hertsjoatmon:
why should we not expect updates for the note 8.0? I thought they were already working on e 4.2.2 build. in fact a quick search suggests thats its already available
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Lehocki:
I had the nexus 7.2 for a week and a half, the 16Gb version and it had a very nice screen fast processor but returned it due to frequent reboots, apparently it only happens on the 16Gb version. Got the note 8 instead. Am very satisfied with it.

I'd recommend you get the Nexus 7.2 first use it for a week then return and get the Note 8, that way you can see the strength and weakness of both and then decide which one is more useful to you. I am glad I did that, the Nexus 7.2 was how to say this not to hurt anyones feelings -plain vanilla- which is not bad, but you can't really compare the two because of the S pen feature on the Note 8. The Note 8 screen is not bad at all, but the 7.2 beats it, and I find that I do use the S pen more often than I thought I would. Also I'm a long time Samsung user and I like their products. I gave the Nexus 7.2 a try but am more comfortable with the Note 8, also love the S pen, for that alone it was worth it to me.

So as I mentioned get one use it as is for a week or two then return it and get the other one. Test both, but in my opinion you can't really pin the two tablets against each other. They are both good just depends what you are going to use it for, if you're a big game player get the Nexus, if you going to use the tablet for other things get the Note 8
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] GuestK00442:
I've owned more than a few Samsung devices, I currently own a two SGS 3, AT&T and Sprint. Neither are on 4.2.2, which is why i'm on CM10.1.2. I'd be pretty happy with a TouchWiz 4.3, but I know Samsung is pretty lame at updates that's why I made that statement, if the Note does get the 4.2.2 update, that's great, but I don't think they will go past that.

Hopefully Samsung is doing an overhaul on TouchWiz all together, I may stick with Samsung devices, otherwise my next device will be a Nexus. I've given up hope for the skin based phones and updates.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] barrmulio:
It really comes down to how much you value the s-pen....i thought I'd get much more use out of it (i do a lot of handwritten note taking, but at meetings i typically type in notepad) and never did so I just put my Note8 up for sale because the extra $100 wasn't worth it because it was still faster/easier for me to jot something quick on a post it than to take out the spen, launch the note app, scribbe something, save it....

however when I was in school the ability to take down quick notes and write on-screen on pdfs/ppt was *very critical* and I loved my W7 tablet with ntrig (this is all pre-tablets :) so it just depends on your use case

With OTG usb, you can still use microsd on the Nexus7, althought it's a bit more work and takes up the charging port..not sure if the new N7 has that yet (you had to be rooted on the old N7 to use it)

screenwise, the new N7 quality is much better, but I find the slightly larger note 8 to actually be easier to read on and use
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] cj31016:
I'm close to making my final decision because I refuse to keep the Note 8.0 and the N7 (2013) that I currently have.

The N7 is super nice. The display keeps drawing me back over and over. I like the fact that I can watch Netflix on it and not accidentally press the back button like I tend to do on the Note 8.0. I love the crisp text in my ebooks. And who doesn't love stock?

The Note 8.0 is better from a productivity standpoint for me, and it's why it currently leads. Outside of holding it in landscape and pressing buttons accidentally, I actually prefer the feel of the Note 8.0 more than the new N7. The display isn't nearly as bad as some would have you believe either. Sure if you have it side by side the N7, you'll see it, but in my opinion it looks real good.

Also a sidenote for comic book readers. I use Comixology, and I'm not a fan of the panel to panel view unless I'm forced to use it due to something being very small. It's easier for me to read comics on the Note 8.0 compared to the N7. Probably because of the extra inch of real estate.

Probably the reason I still go back and forth is because I know I can expect updates and a vibrant dev community on the N7, but probably not so much with the Note 8.0. Heck, I have the AT&T LTE variant, and I sadly can't even root that yet. Good luck with your decision.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Grogck:
I went ahead and ordered the 32GB Nexus 7.2. I figure I can always sell it for about what I paid for it if I decide not to keep it.

I got the previous Nexus 7 as a gift, but actually ended up selling it (and keeping the more lowly spec'd Tab 2 7" I already had) because the Nexus was just so flaky. Apparently it was a great device prior to 4.1, but I only got onboard after that. Plus the speakers were PATHETIC (unacceptable for a device that screams multimedia consumption.) I'm hoping those are better this go-round as I use mine for backgound music/video quite a bit.

There's pros to being on the bleeding edge of updates I guess. But I almost view it like you're being an unofficial beta tester. Samsung may not always have the latest official Android version on all its flagship devices, but all my experiences with them to-date have been outstanding. There's a reason (beyond just marketing) that they're the most dominant OEM in the Android world.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] intelliriffer:
If the primary purpose is reading as OP has posted, I would suggest note 8 to be better choice.

My primary reason for buying note 8.0 was reading (PDF's as well as comics) and considering that almost 38 GB of my external 64 Gig card is occupied by books i would say i am more than pleased by my choice.

The extra screen size does matter here though both share similar 16:10 aspect ratio , which is quite ok,

another surprise feature, the reading mode that samsung built into this is amazing (though it might appear strange at first) but now I just can't imagine reading without that , it's easier on eyes,less stress and for me makes for much better concentration. add a good reader app (I absolutely love the free perfect viewer app for pdf and comics)

The secondary thing for me was the s-pen. since i have been using wacom tablets on pc since late 90's I found this quite adequate. My N-5100 costed me around $530 USD) which is surely definitely on the costlier side of things however I would still consider it worth that extra dough.

I also primarily use this at home and mine is still unrooted (haven't found a need or reason to root it yet).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kschmidty17:
Gotta decide what's your most important feature.

For me tablets can have two distinct purposes, media consumption device or productivity device. As a media consumption device there isn't much use to me for a tablet because honestly, most things are just more convenient to do on my phone since I always have it, and it has a data connection.

Now as a productivity device, there are a couple things the note 8 excels at. PDF and textbook portability/editing, handwritten notes, and remote desktop control. The spen takes this device to a higher level of productivity because there is no device with a comparable stylus. But for anything else like word document editing, media production, music/picture editing, tablets in general fall short because laptops/desktops are just better.

So if you want a media consumption device, the new Nexus 7 is probably better or even the iPad for that matter. But for productivity the spen will make up for the other shortcomings like lower screen pixel density, less frequent operating system updates, etc.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] TC93:
MobileTechReview posted her review, comparing the two tablets. Everything she said is exactly the same thought I have between the two tablets. I currently have both. I'm more tempted to return the Nexus, but don't know yet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7aPvUqdcds

But everything she states in the video is the same opinion that I have noticed from using them.

She doesn't mention bugs, but the Nexus has its own bugs too... such as apps crashing or becoming unresponsive to touches. I have seen the GPS crash several times using a GPS testing app.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
It took me ages to decide between the N7 and note 8, and I decided on the note 8. But now I realise, that as I'm going university next year, I'll probably need a laptop, and I'm confused all over again :confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] htinaung:
4.2.2 is already out for uk. I am on it now
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Grogck:
Agree with almost everything she said as well. I disagree with her assessment of the speakers and volume though. While this year's Nexus finally has proper speakers they're still not as loud as the Note 8's. The quality is a bit better as far as separation/bass goes, but not as loud.

I'm probably going to stick with the Note 8. It's just hard to go back to 7" display no matter what the resolution. It's great that the text is clear, but it's tiny - and the saturation isn't as good. And I've already experienced the Nexus bugginess (unresponsive to touches) several times as well.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
How is it compared to 4.1?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] TC93:
I haven't had any complaints about the Note 8.0 speakers either.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] htinaung:
Maybe more smooth
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dale_cooper:
I own the original nexus 7...

I currently own an ipad 4 (so I'm used to looking at retina display), I've had the note 10.1, nexus 10, etc....

Honestly I think 8" is the sweet spot. I want to love thenew nexus 7 so bad but I feel like 7" is just a tad too small. The extra screen area from an 8" tablet seems sooo much larger and more usable when browsing websites. Am I crazy? I feel like I keep reading about screen clarity vs spen vs whatever ... but to me the real battle is do you prefer 7" vs 8" - I'm probably going to get both and then return the one I dont' like. As I said, I'm used to the retina screen as well as the beautiful screen on my htc one; however just playing around with the note in the store, the screen honestly isn't that bad and colors are quite quite good.

That said, the nexus 7 screen is by far superior BUT I still think the larger size provides so much better screen real estate and thus ease of use.

Anyone not get the nexus 7 simply because they don't like a 7" tablet?

This may sound numb but how do we undertsand if a computer has service pasck 2 installed? I am asking this because I am using w2000 and planning to do the upgrade to 2005 by using one of my friends laptop. Or is it possible to upgrade through w2000?

Thanks in advance...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
a bit cunfused there

there is a os called pocketpc 2000 it's very old

and no himalaya device have ever come with it installed they come with

WM2003

there is an os called windows 2000 it's workstion and server based

and came before XP it's current service pack is 4 i believe

any himalaya device can be upgraded to 2005 as far as i know

so if you are talking about the MW servicepack which is included in

1.72 then i would not worry too much
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dr_cikolata:
ok let me explain.

I bought an T Mobile MDA II yesterday and it is on the way from Germany to Sweden now. Since I am totally new to this, I am trying to read all the things that I can that is relevant to ugrading my MDA II ROM to 2005. I think I figured out how to do it, but the only problem I have is that I do not have a PC (not moble :D ) installed XP on it. All I have is a PC which has windows 2000 running on it. I am asking is it possible to upgrade my MDAII to 2005 using my PC which has Windows 2000 on it.

Since according to the instructions of buzz to upgrade to 2005, the PC that you are using should have XP with a service pack 2 installed. I got a friend who has a laptop with the XP installed but I do not know if this laptop has SP2 installed. So the second question is how can I undersatnd if a computer has SP2 installed.

Thanx...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
if activesync works then the upgrade works

if activesync works (i'm sure it does) you can check on activesync's site at ms

or try it out

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] xda2jojo:
if you want to know if it is sp2(winxp) installed...right click the ''my computer''>''properties''

you can upgrade to sp2(winxp) for free, just simply click the "windows update'' in your pc.

you can install the AS4 to win2k / 2k3 / winxp but i don't think if you can sync(wm5) it but not all...just try it.
