Got one coming from Google today, after I cancelled it last week. Grrrh
You can have it for what I paid (£209) if your local to Nottingham.
Apart from that Tesco Direct are a good place to try.
I ordered one from Tesco Direct on Friday and picked it up in Dundee on Saturday.
Used a £10 off voucher as well, but I think thats been revoked now!

I got mine from currys/pcworld you can reserve online and then pick up. The guy said they get stock on Monday but only like 10 units

Arthur,
May I have first dibs on your spare one if I cannot find one local to derby by tomorrow? I am off tomorrow and can come collect at any time
Buy anywhere OTHER than Google play if you want it this year.
Argos is pre order for 6th August
Pcworld is out of stock atm
Tesco has stock
I preordered from Google on 8th August AND told them I want to cancel and I ordered from pcworld on 22 July. I will be receiving both today...... I will sell the spare to mate. If not I will post on here that I have one available

Tesco don't stock it in store (yet)
Ordered mine with Tesco Direct, got it for £170 with voucher and staff discount. Got the £15 credit too
I've found you one that will be cheaper. You order today and your have it tomorrow. There is a discount code on hotukdeals to get an extra tenner off.
Would have no quarms selling you the spare but the screen raise issue is a concern. No way of knowing. If you go direct to Tesco, they will swap at the door step if there is an issue.

Edit: Here's the deal with discount codes. Its where I got mine from.

Just to clear up in-store stocking question:
PC World, Currys, Tesco, CPW and HMV all plan to carry Nexus 7 in store.
Problem is at the moment the are being deluged with web orders so are delaying roll out to stores until they have sufficient stock.
This should happen over the next couple of weeks as deliveries start catching up with demand.
Except Tesco Direct have in stock and will ship. They seem to have a shed load, its their second batch.

Well, damned Walmart cancelled my order. Chatted with CSR for 20 min, she didn't know what happened, so I ordered again and got on chat right away so it wouldn't get cancelled, but it did. Don't know if it was out of stock or what. Just a pisser. I have to call T-Mo as none of the stores in the Portland area have it yet. I hate waiting.
Auds.... I've read on several reputable websites that WireFly is selling it for $179 (with contract.... New or existing customer)... You might want to check that out.... Let me know how it turns out Good luck!

New customer, yes, great price. Make sure you go to wireflyfriends.com, not the regular wirefly website. Had to hunt around for that info, when I couldn't find it at the 179 price on the regular Wirefly website.
For existing TMobile customers, you must be upgrade eligible when you order. I placed my order, and it came back denied because I'm not yet eligible for handset upgrade. The non-upgrade price is much more.
12 Years with T-Mo can pay off!

I went through T-Mo retention and was able to wrangle a $150 price (plus a SGS3 for $180 and a free SGS2)! I'm supposed to be receiving all my goodies today. I had to check yesterday since the automated system kept telling me I had nothing in transit.
For all those customers that wonder, 12 years as a customer does pay off sometimes!
Good to hear!! Mine is on backorder through TMo cust loyalty....grrrr.....
Spich...
I wasn't going to divuldge the price, but I too, got mine for $149 through T-Mobile Customer Retention for $149... I think I did pay extra (in addition to the $149), for express shipping (well worth it.... Note was delivered to my front door 3-days later)

The otg adapters can be had for 2-3 bucks each on amazon or eBay, look around a little and you can find them cheaper but it really is one of the best accessories you can grab, nothing like being able to copy to and from a USB flash drive while out with your phone only.
Yep i love it already but i am scared to drop it. Doesnt fit on my hand all that well. Had it for one day, its rooted and installed ubuntu chroot check out my post from developer section. Otg work great with keyboard mouse combo

Does anyone know where to get any accessories for the N7 from a brick and mortar store in the US? Walmart has stuff listed on their website but they don't have any in stores, and yet they sell the tablet. Five below has a few generic cases but I am mostly after a screen protector for my Fiancee's new N7 and didn't want to have to order if I could avoid it. I guess I can use a cut to fit generic pack if I have to. I just concerned about it in her purse.

Hey ya'll,
Just throwing out there, I was at WalMart (Ozark, Al) earlier tonight, and found that the Nexus 7 32GB was marked down to 199. I just bought mine the day before Thanksgiving! I checked the website, it is still listed at 249. I dunno if this is a price drop waiting to happen, or if it is in my area only. I asked the manager if I could have 50 bucks back and she said that she didn't know, told me to call in the morning, and worse case, box it back up, return it, and use the money to buy it at the lower price. (Which I don't want to do, but if I have to in order to get the better price, I will.)

Similar things are happening in the UK, as you can now get find the 32gb for around £180 at certain places.
Thats what's making me hold out until after Xmas for the 3g.

There wasn't a price drop on the 16, but it looks like the 16 has been sold out for a while, I've been looking for a while, mouth was watering, just jumped on it. I'll call them in the morning and ask if I can get that money back without having to take the device back, I still have my receipt that shows proof. All the night CSM told me was, with electronics, they might.
If you buy through Paypal at radio shack you can get 10$ gift cert for each 50 you spend then price match the nexus 7 32GB to a cheaper site and get more money back... that's what i did.. paid 249.99+cheap filler item+tax=265.xx got 5 10$ certs then used the Paypal pricematch promo (can find through googling) and matched it to a cheaper price i found online which was 229.99 1 or 2 weeks ago. so in the end i spent 265.xx but got back 50$ in certs + 20$ refund back to Paypal account. (pretty good deal if you need to buy anything from RS)
Are you sure the UPC wasn't for the 16GB version? It doesn't make sense that Google would drop the price twice in barely 2 months time (or increase the storage, however you want to put it).
I checked to make sure it wasn't for the 16 gb. The tag also said 32 gb
that would be really nice, since I want to buy one but for 200 or less.
I'm heading to Walmart as soon I get off work and check it out I need one for my car dash.

According to the representative at Gamestop, they are no longer making the 16 GB Nexus 7 and are phasing it out by getting rid of the remaining stock. So, my understanding is that Gamestop will only be selling the 32 GB wifi/data along with other retailers like Walmart when the 16 GB runs out.
I'm really thinking about returning the 16 GB one when I receive it next week and just pay the $50 to get the more recent 32 GB one.

Exactly,and besides I'm getting the 16 gb nexus 7 as a gift from my sister in the mainland. She bought it from Walmart for $200 and she'll give it to my parents to bring back to me here in Hawaii for my Christmas present. She said since it's a gift for the holidays Walmarts return policy is 15 days after the 24. I'll just probably return it for a refund and pay the xtra for a 32g from Walmart or Gamestop.
And I won't be getting the 3g Nexus because I already got a tiny hotspot with unlimited 4g with download speeds of 6 mbps and uploads of 1.5 mbps. It lasts for 7-8 hours on it's internal battery and costs me only $25 per month. Awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr-J-M2aEIc
Can anyone else confirm the 16gb version being discontinued or the 199 price for the 32gb? It's still 249 at the Walmart here.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I called the store, the price match to get my 50 would have to been done in 7 days. My store knocks prices down all the time because they don't know what they have. BTW the price is a clearance price. For example, they have Apple service plans (extended warranties) on clearance, a 2tb external Seagate go flex on clearance for 89. They managers there don't know crap about technology. If I get a chance I'll take a pic of the tag they have. But I'm at work till Monday morning

But we're talking about a gamestop employee.... They are probably thinking the 8gb, which is already gone.
And maybe one walmart in the world is confused or has something marked incorrectly. If you can get it for that price, great.
They aren't getting rid of the 16gb, not this soon at least.
I just went to exchange my daughters nexus 7 she received for Christmas at Staples and was told they don't have any replacements and won't be getting the 16GB version anymore as they have been discontinued Every Staples in my area (boston) is sold out, even though the Staples website shows them in stock. The 32GB is still available everywhere.
I then went to Walmart.com and their website states "Dear Customer, we are out of the Google Nexus 16GB Tablet, and will not be receiving any more. You can look at and purchase the 32GB version by CLICKING HERE."
Google play store shows them "Sold Out".
Does anyone know if the 16GB is discontinued? Does this mean we can expect to see the 32GB version discounted soon?

Wal mart will stop selling the 16gb since it went down to $199.99. Reason being, at that price, there is just no profit margain for them. Google barely breaks even. Nothing left for wally.

I noticed this today too! Went out looking for a 16gb model to replace a kindle fire HD I purchased my mom for Xmas (didn't like it). Couldn't find one anywhere locally or online! Well I take that back, my local MicroCenter only had the 16gb models in stock but they had the nerve to have them priced at $249 lol. When I asked the sales guy why they were priced so high he tried to get over on me by saying that's the correct price and the $50 price cut is down from $299. I just laughed and replied "I see why your the only place that still has the 16gb models in stock" and walked away. Ended up buying a 32gb model at Sears and used my $28 worth of reward points towards the purchase. I think Google is looking to sell only the 32gb models...

When the Nexus 7 was released this past summer, only the 8GB was available directly from Google. The 16GB was the only model sold in stores. Now that there is no 8 GB model and the price was lowered on the 16 GB, the 32 GB is the only version available via anywhere other than Google.
Just about every retailer is stating that they are no longer carrying the product or it has been discontinued. I called google customer service and they told me that they have no knowledge of it being discontinued and suggested I keep checking the website for updates. They couldn't tell me if they would be restocking, just that there is no official statement on product being discontinued. Would be nice if someone said something official one way or the other.
I bought two 16GB versions for Christmas, one worked fine while the other wouldn't charge. I returned the defective unit thinking I would be able to get a replacement. Silly me. Now if I buy two different memory versions, my 5 year old son who doesn't understand the situation will be unhappy if his sister gets one with more memory. Yes, at 5 he can tell the difference. Meanwhile my 7 year old daughter is still without her Christmas gift while Mom and Dad go crazy trying to locate one.

Good one retard
My kid has had a tablet since he was 3. He's 6 now. He's on his now looking at wallpapers.
I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Christmas just ended and stock has yet to be replenished. Although I would imagine the 32gb taking over the norm.
There is no way to tell them apart. The box is even the same. No way to tell except going into settings and viewing storage.
If you WANTED to fix it... do a nandroid backup of the 16gb and restore it on the 32gb. Then it will read as 16gb. You can flash back to the original stock Rom (which will properly reformat it) to regain the lost 16gb.

When I went in to best buy looking for a nexus 7 I couldn't find one. I asked the lady where the nexus 7 was. She said sadly best buy and Google couldn't come to an agreement so they passed on carrying it. I looked at her and said they wouldn't let y'all price gouge huh? She looked at me funny and walked away.
Maybe its a sign that Google is about to release a 64 gig version or one with an SD slot?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
If a fruit company can have 64GB, then why a green robot can't? also reminds me about GNEX, that Google could not fit 32GB in GSM variant as it was to thin, who know how it's now, but N7 has more room, not about for 3G variant.
A few places do still sell the 16 GB model in India.. Online ofcourse.. But that's probably the "left-overs".. Also, there have been speculations of re-releasing the N7 tablet in India in Jan '13.. So there'd be the 16 GB model available then..
My oversea sources inside China indicated that it is basic supply & demand issues with inventory and the holidays at the factory as the warehouses are basically operating in JIT mode (Just In Time) for shipping & delivery, and, that they are simply out of stock - or, sold more 16GB models than expected. $199 USD is a very, very attractive price for this sleek quad-core model & HD screen and a great front-facing camera, etc. (minus the mSD card for extra storage - which, we are know is easily solved with OTG cable, besides - got a ton of USB thumb drive) Our 2nd. choice was a slower (dual-core) Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 7" with dual camera - also virtually sold out everywhere, online & at brick-n-mortar stores before X'mas.
Anyway, tracked down an open-box N7 16GB - WiFi only - in 99.98% brand new condition, full warranty last week at the 3rd. Staple stores - (had 2 of them in the back, plenty of 32GB models at $249) - manager approved a 10% discount (no official policy for giving discount as it's highly sought after) so it was $180 net + sales tax, no waiting for FedEx/UPS driver - what a bargain. That's almost 1/2 the price of the iPad mini and if you fly in "coach" on a 15 hours flight - either one is great for watching DVD's and got plenty of storage options with the USB add-on, and the micro-USB port made it super easy to power up/charge & connect with other devices without spending a small fortune on accessories again (DW has her full size iPad, LOL but I love Androids) Easily tethering nicely to VZW's hotspot on the smartphone w. unlimited 3G data plan when I'm not on a Fios connection, he he !
Still busy with unlocked, rooted stock Roms & the top custom ones floating around here - the factory rom without the bloatware is great - once I got rid of the "My Library" & "Recommended ..." pimped by Google as I don't feel like holding it up as a made-believed Kindle Fire HD, etc. that's priced higher in Staples.
Stay tuned - time to update my profile/signature as the older Viewsonic Vpad7 is going to retire soon or get eBay'd ...
Cheers & Happy New Year 2013 to all (to our "oversea" friends in the other half of the planet Earth, i.e. our uncle in "Down Under" in Aussie's) :highfive:
