I know this is a galaxy nexus forum. I am curious to those who owns both galaxy nexus and 7.
I held my purchase thinking it is a blown up and faster galaxy nexus. iPad seemed easier to justify compare to iPhone due to 6 inches of screen difference. 4.7" vs 7"? It wasn't too logical.
However, I wish to have bigger screen to browse web and do some research comfortably in my bed or on my couch.
Are you happy to own both devices or feel like it was a redundant purchase?
Thanks for your inputs.

For some it's not a redundant purchase.
For me, though, I already have a laptop, a desktop, and my nexus. What's the point of having a tablet? My nexus and my laptop do everything a tablet can do in my opinion. It's a waste of money on my part - so no I didn't buy one.

Yeah between my MBP and GN I can get the most done. Its just pain to howl around 15" MBP to do some tasks that a tablet can do.
Maybe I should just save and get a MacBook air or any ultra book that is worth buying.
Thank you for your input

Same here. I have a Samsung Series 9 laptop and a GNexus phone, so there is really no point in purchasing a Nexus 7. I would like to have one, but there isn't anything I could do on a Nexus 7 that I can't currently do on my sweet phone or insanely thin and light laptop. If I had a ton of money sitting around, I would probably get one. As a broke law school student, the $200+ can be spent better elsewhere.

When did you order?? I didn't get any shipping notification yet.
No Regrets
Yes, mine should arrive tomorrow. I've been debating whether or not to get a 7 inch tablet for the past year or so, with consideration of getting a 10 incher. Once I got my Galaxy Nexus (a couple months ago), I didn't think I'd be diving into tablet territory any time soon. The price and the specs were really appealing to me so I went ahead and pre-ordered the Nexus 7.
I use the Torque app with an OBDII bluetooth transmitter to monitor information from my car. It turns out there is a perfect spot open to mount a 7 inch tablet in front of my information center on my 09 Honda Accord. This is probably one of the things I'm looking forward to most.
I've also bought a bunch of apps when they were on sale. I go through so many ROMs on my GNex and not all of my apps/games (Shadogun, Deadspace, etc) will run on my phone. This is another thing I'm looking forward to, all of the new apps and games I'll be able to use and play.
I have two friends that own Tegra 3 tablets. One has the TF300T and the other has the Prime. They seemed a little too large for my liking, but the appeal of having a device that's not always connected, therefore reducing battery drain, was a big plus for me. The added functionality of all the tablet apps is also welcomed.
For the price, you can't beat it. I doubt I'll have any regrets with the purchase.
I'm kind of with Steve Jobs on this one, the 7 inch form factor is in too much of a grey area to be worth it. Too small to be big, to big to be small.
That said, $199 is a stupidly good price.

Same here. Makes me want to cancel the order and buy at a store to avoid the $20 shipping fees.
I thought the $25 credit would only be available when ordered from the Play store.
On a side note. I picked up the N7 because I want to use it with custom firmwares and kernels.
I can't stand it if my Gnex would crash or drop calls due to a custom kernel or rom. I had that happen too many times on my old Nexus S, when there was the mute bug on some roms, you answer the phone and the other person was muted until you toggled the mute button.
Personally, I can't justify it. I already have a GNex and the Nexus 7 just seems like a slightly bigger GNex. That doesn't mean it's not a good tablet though.

So you would have to pay him $100 to get the Note? No chance. What makes the Note worth $100 more than the Nexus? Samsungs amazing TouchWiz UI or their lazy update procedure?
Phone for phone without any payment could be acceptable for someone who is ok with that.
But then I wouldn't even take the Note if he was paying me $100, so I'm biased.
Nope , don't do it ..
Now if the $100 wasn't in the picture then it would be a decision worth thinking about or if he was giving you the $100 =P
Stick with the Nexus

Yes @ above. I would be giving him $100 and my Nexus. It's funny I even though I own the Nexus I already bought another replacement for this phone. This is why I am exploring selling/trading it.

Straight up trade or nothing and that's only if you think you could find use out of the Note. I know quite a few store owners who love it especially for their online sales as they can just take pictures of products and doodle on it and send it out to prospective customer.
My father's colleague, who's a Apple guy, switched to a Note also for simply one reason; He could have the text large enough to use it without his glasses on .
There are use cases for the Note for sure, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it like most on here would .
On that note, I wouldn't use one personally as again, it doesn't fit my use cases.
Don't do it, especially if you like rooting and such.
Not sure Samsung ironed out the brick bug, but it's not the device to have if you want to run anything other than stock. Even doing a factory reset was bricking them. Ridiculous.
I wouldn't do it either. Just because something retails for more money doesn't mean it is actually worth more. Then Nexus is a better phone, period.
SGN is a super nice gadjet , but Nexus is the most compatible with android , if it was me , I'll *****slap him with his 100 buks and keep my phone. but this is me, maybe you have a different opinion
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
He should be paying you $100 plus the note to begin with, if you do it not only has he ended up with the better phone but he's robbed you $100 , just because the note retails for more new doesn't mean its the better device, look at the iPhone for example its inferior to the nexus but still costs more.
Keep your Nexus, it's still the backbone of Android.

When i thought to buy a new phone, the first on the line was the Note. So i went to stores do "meet" it. First look, i feel disconfortable by its size and start looking other phones, so i saw the Nexus and it was love at the first sight. When i held it in my hand, i knew that i´ll be my phone.
It fits perfectly.
Today i think that if i bought the Note i was regret. Not only because the size, but the OS updates and customizations.
Keep your Nexus and be happy for the rest of it´s days.
(sorry for the english)
Keep your Gnex and the $$$ , add 99 more and get the nexus7.
So you ll be complete

the galaxy s3 you mean I'm sure, the galaxy 3 is a budget phone..
Iwouldn't even trade for the s3 personally, I love this phone
I have both and if its the ATT version its worth it. The dev support over there isnt bad and once you get used to the size, which I did very quickly, I don't even use the nexus anymore as the screen is so much more vibrant. Just slap on an AOSP rom and it turns the note into a great phone/tablet.

In my opinion the only S3 worht having is the international version as the US versions have been nerfed as they usually are by us carriers.
As to the OP keep your Nexus, I have friends who have the Note and they love it but development on it is nonexistant in comparison to the Nexus, heck my old Vibrant has more development going on right now.

Hah. Nice. So the Galaxy S4 might be released as soon as Februrary 2013 with the following rumored features (from the article):
1) A 5" SAMOLED display which may or may not be the new flexible tech. (Getting into Note territory here...)
2) Will have a quad-core exynos or qualcomm cpu
3) The design may be different for each US carrier again (bummer)
And I loved this quote :
The S4 will see some external changes but retain its popular rectangular shape with rounded corner concept,’’ said an official from one of Samsung’s local partners.

Yep! But I think I'm holding out for the Note 3 in Jan 2014, which is the soonest I can upgrade anyway
(should be 1080p too)
hmmmmmmmm....... I'm waiting to see what HTC would come up... Some of their designs badly need a successor... say, the HTC Desire Z, it was the last phone they made with a keyboard.... and that was about 3 years ago already.... I'm quite a fan of phones with keyboards, so I'm also gonna be interested what Samsung would put out witha keyboard... Now that I'm on the samsung bandwagon, I'm quite inclined to get a samsung phone...
but yeah, nice to see the S4 is already under development... but I'm afraid 5" of screen is too big for me already... The S3 is on a sweet spot on it's size, still fairly big for me, but does have some advantages. Meanwhile, the Note, when I saw it... it looked amazing... but simply, the screen was too big.... so I skipped it and here came the S3

It's not fake.
The Korea Times website is just the online version of a reputable Korean newspaper. It's not sham news site like the dailynews.co.uk is with alien abductions and whatnot.
I'm holding out for the Note 5... or maybe the S6. I just can't decide.
I realize this is a totally subjective topic, but if the 5" screen size rumor holds true, this would suck moose junk in my opinion, unless the plan is to decrease bezel of current sized S3 handset to accomodate more screen.
I sold the Note to move to the S3 specifically because that phone was freakishly and totally unnecessarily gargantuan, so I hate to think that Samsung is moving that direction with the S4 also.
Again, my hope is that they bring the screen out further toward the edges on the same size handset as the S3 currently is, but if not, I think it's HTC time for me, come next Sept when I'm for upgrade.

Agreed, I was hesitant to go to the S3 because 4.8 sounded too big as my kid had a infuse 4g at 4.5...but they figured out how to make the 4.8 the same size basically as the infuse so hopefully they do this again as I just dont think I can go bigger than the S3. I would look for this to be out in June/July just like this year. I will be halfway through my contract so it wont matter much to me...

Then use bluetooth, or a headset, or speakerphone, and if you don't want to, why care what other people think for fraction of time that you hold it up to your ear? 99% of the time we're using our phones as computers, so the larger the screen the better. Sacrificing screen size to please others is retarded; not the other people you're so worried about.

I really hope they don't go back to different form factors. It's so easy to find accessories for the GS3.

I don't want a big ass phone. I'm only 5'3 and my hands are far from being the largest. If the phone was any larger then I'd have trouble holding it properly. I also just don't like the look of the larger phones. When I see the note I think to myself it is ugly because it is so big.
People other than me may find the larger size more welcome or be indifferent, I just don't want the phone to get any larger.

Don't get her this phone. It requires modding for it to run with no issues. The s3 performs perfectly out of box. Just get her the s3. I have a friend who works at Verizon who dumped her iphone 4s for a GSIII.. she's got relatively small hands and handles the phone with no issues whatsoever. It's just a matter of getting used to it. Just like we all had to do when we jumped from a 3.7 or 4 inch screen to this 4.5 inch t989.

Stock is good enough for these needs. You could put a stable ICS ROM on it and never have to touch it again. It's a solid phone if you don't need to have the newest and shiniest. I'll have this phone for another two years and I'm ok with that.
Sent from my SGH-T989
I got my girlfriend to switch to the AT&T model from the iPhone 3GS. This is her first Android phone ever and she loves it. I wouldn't recommend the SII only because the SIII works much better out of the box, as stated above. Also the screen resolution is MUCH better and the phone is easier to hold. Yes, it's 4.8 inches but the shape and thinness make it feel much smaller and easier to hold.
So in short, SIII over SII for sure.
They are similar, but if you said she only is on pinterest, facebook, etc. then definitely go for the S2. It is much cheaper and she probably won't notice a difference between the two if she only does little stuff.

I understand the SIII is an overall better phone. No one is denying that, for the price point and what she uses it for, i'd assume the SII is more than effective at providing her with these expectations. How good is the camera on the SII?

I agree, any word on how good the camera is?
The S2 (as far as I know all variants have the same sensor) is fantastic, even compared to the S3. I don't see the S3 as an improvement camera-wise. Everything else, though, is. Especially the software. It really depends how she uses her phone. If she's not technical at all and just wants texting, Facebook, Twitter, and all that jazz, then just get her the S2. I have a tendency to recommend the best.
Get S2 at walmart for $299 without contract
I got mine a week ago at walmart at this price.
It came preloaded with ICS 4.0.4.
Everything works beautifully. Can't beat the price.
They want you to buy $30 prepaid card which you can cancel after a month.
I told them I don't need one and they just let me buy the phone.
You could also get SII that is by family mobile but it's the same phone as t-mobile.

I plan on keeping my S2 for a very long time. Its a great phone with really on issues. Only thing I wish was a little better was the camera, but besides that, its the best phone I have ever had.
Of course I would get the S3 if I had to choose just because its the newer verison, but in terms on if the phone is great, it is.
I personally think the size and shape of the s2 is better then the s3 and I prefer that.

As a guy who also had to pick a phone out for my girlfriend (who's phone needs are basically identical to your girlfriends)... She would be very happy with the S2.
At the time, I convinced my girlfriend to get an s3, but honestly considering she now really only uses Facebook, Twitter, Email, SMS, Phone, and some other apps (pinterest, youtube, etc.) its a bit over kill.
Same idea with a computer, you can be a student and buy a 1500$ laptop for writing notes and papers... and ya, it will be better, but for what you use it for, the 400$ laptop was a better idea.
I've been using the S2X for a full year now and I still love it...probably one of the first times I've got something and not wanted something newer within 3 months
I paid $316 out the door after applying a 15% coupon code.

They don't even sell the Note 10.1 2014 new. They have this listed but it looks pretty funky and that's an awfully low price for a newly released device. Refurbs offered by Samsung directly typically don't show up for four to six months. "Refurb" can have a lot of different meanings. So hopefully you got the deal of the century but I'd celebrate after it's in your hands.

When it arrives, I will confirm, they specify the dimensions, the processor, and release all matching the 2014.
If its the original its going back.

Is Scratch and Scuff anything like Scratch and Sniff? That's an amazing deal by the way, congrats!
thanks... hopefully tomorrow it'll arrive and we can confirm its really a 2014
I passed on the scratch and sniff version and just figured the pre owned refurbished should be great

I'm rooting for you. I saw that and immediately thought it had to have been the older version for that price. If it is the 2014 I'm jumping on that all kinds of quick. Keep us in the loop. Please, I've been dying to ditch this Ipad for a while now!

I couldn't resist.... that scratch and dent one dropped to $279, I ordered that bad boy up.... I have a feeling it's the old model but I had to try. They had the pic and all the details of the 2014.... I will call them tomorrow to verify.

Yeah let me know what happens with yours. I also ordered a "used" one for $299 this morning. I just sent an email to support asking them to confirm the model number for me before they process the order.
If those really are 2014s, they are going to be out of stock really soon one we get confirmation lol

Bad news, it's the 8000 series.
They totally misled it.
Sucks.

8000 series meaning the old one?
Edit: I googled it, Just want to double check what I found is what you found out. It is the old one but its the Wifi and 3G old one.

You are a victim of false advertising.
Have you called them about the miss-representation?
.
Preparing for this phone call... I'm not crazy right? The specs on the site is clearly the 2014.

There's something odd. The N8000 was never sold in the U.S. by GameStop or anyone else except importers like Negri and Expansys. Sounds like a "marketplace" with third party listings.

Yeah the description you posted clearly describes the 2014 Edition. How stupid are these people that they sell you an old version yet describe the 2014. The 2012 and 2014 Note not only have different internals but they look completely different too surely they should have picked up on that.
I'm actually a tad angry for you - bugs me when sellers do this stuff.
The GT-N8000 does not have a 1.9GHz Quad Core, no Android 4.3 and no 8 MP Rear Camera.
