Google’s Nexus 7 stops orders due to demand

Source: http://www.slashgear.com/googles-nexus-7-stops-orders-due-to-demand-22239712/
Google has decided to stop taking orders from its online store, assumedly because it has such a huge backlog it doesn’t even know when it will be able to fulfill new customer purchases. The 16 GB $249 tablet had been showing up as being delayed for one to two weeks. As of now, though, it’s impossible to place an order. The 8 GB model, at $199, is still available for orders.

Just FYI

Welcome to about 4 days ago, the 16gb stopped being available for order around 4 wednesday of last wk.

ooops, the article seemed new, feel free to delete post

The 16GB been out of stock since last week..

Well... good that the are stopping orders for now, they need to focus on getting the orders they already have shipped out. But bad that the 16GB may be delayed 1-2 weeks... I think that $300 went missing from my credit card as I haven't spent that much on it since I last made a payment but I won't know until layer monday when my bank updates the transactions online... hoping to see a charge for my 16GB Nexus 7 on there.
I'm not particularly mad at Google... just mildly annoyed. and I hope this was a good learning experience for them.

I think the 8gb model is good enough anyway. The transformers movie is streamed anyway by default. Unless you plan on loading tons f apps it should be fine for most.

All I'm gonna say is someone did a terrible job at forecasting for the 16gb.

What crystal ball are you looking at?
Markets are a fickle thing... hard to really know what is going to be a big hit and what wont be. It would appear, that the 16gb is outselling the 8gb, but who really knows real numbers are. Maybe they made a ton more of the 8gb units thinking they would sell better.
Was the Kindle Fire more popular because it was under $200 or because it was released first before the Nook tablet which was $249 or is it because it was Amazon with decent content etc...
Getting stuck with a ton of product that didn't catch on can be expensive. and playing catchup a hot product is a good position for a company to be in if they can ramp up fast enough. Sometimes constraints of available product also promote higher demand under the false sense that they are more popular than they really are. Who knows....

Or someone did a great job choking off the supply of 16GB units to force impatient buyers to the 8GB, making them more likely to buy into Google's cloud services.
"Supply crises" are much more often planned than not. Not saying they won't get the 16GB back on the market quickly, because they will. But how many buyers in the meantime will settle for 8GB and a Google Drive subscription?

That depends....Are people going to want to buy these anyways after reading all these articles mentioning all these defects. No one knows for sure if it's just 8gb or 16gb or both. Sure they got a lot of money up front but it doesn't help when you constantly have to replace them and with that kind of launch are people really going to take that risk right now. If not and they want to wait a couple months some other tablet could come out around the same price range or just a better tablet in general. You're talking lost profits at that point. Forecasting does come into it at some point but this launch didn't help at all

hmm. So they won't ship it, or refund it. Great

nexus 7 8gb being discontinued for 16gb and 32gb

Apparently we who preordered the nexus 7 early got bamboozled (lol) , the 8gb will be discontinued and the 16gb will take its place at $199. While the 32gb will replace the 16gb.

UGH, think their 10/29 release date is just a few days out of 30 days if they give a price adjustment from Walmart that far out. Bought the 16 back on 9/26.

Not cool Asus..... Or Google or whoever

Deal with it bros.
You bought the product because were happy with the price and gear being offered.
The Nexus 7 is a damn good deal any way you look at it. $50 extra to have this thing for 2-3 months which would have otherwise been spent dreaming of purchasing one and browsing sites for the best deals all day?
I'm happy with my purchase still. I feel bad for anyone who got an 8gb though.

Not to mention we early adopters got $25 plat store credit. So it's not that bad.

I hardly buy anything from the play store. While the credit is nice to have, I rather see a less amount on my credit card bill.
It's something I'll have to get over but I technically haven't even paid for it yet since the bill isn't due lol. So.. yeah, in that case I'm a little annoyed.

I knew that a that better / cheaper SKU would show up, didn't expect it before Christmas TBH, but I don't care I wanted to experience stock Jelly Bean asap. I've ordered a usb-otg cable and tasty 32 GB USB 3.0 pendrive, which has the benefit of being used over multiple devices.

I'm not really mad I'm just disappointed in Google's marketing. Not a lot of people buy into the nexus brand and Its really not nice to do what they are going to do but since I love this device so much I'm not going to get mad, I'm just going to right them a nice message of what I think about this on October 29th.
Now I'm thinking if I should buy the nexus 4 when they release it or wait.

I'm wondering if people sending in 8gb sets for RMA would get a 16gb back.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?

I've had mine for about a week and love it. I have a 30 day return policy, if my store got them by Oct 29, wonder if they would let me return it?

I guess you can still call it a rumor. But the 32GB is obviously real at $250 and the 16GB isn't going away, so it'll almost certainly drop to $200. There isn't room for an 8GB model.
I think it's just common sense at this point that the 8GB model is about to get clearanced at the end of the month.

From a business stand point, they are going to sell the 8GB at 199 till it's out of stock, then push the 16gb down to 199 and throw in the 32gb at 250.

2-3 months? That's perhaps true if you're in the US, where it's been released first - not counting some later adopters who didn't get it from day 1. That's not true anymore in some other countries, where it's been out for quite less than 2 months.

Guess what? In those countries where it's been released more recently, the credit is still active... and thus I'd bet the early 32GB buyers will still get it.
So, yes, it IS bad, when there's a 32GB model scheduled for the same price as your 16GB unit, 45 days (since there are obviously numerous leaks) after it's been available in your country.

I have to agree. The people that have had there's for 31-45 days get screwed the hardest. They're just outside the return/refund window and have had so little time with there's to really enjoy it before a price drop and a higher capacity model for the same damn price is released...
I'm one of those people and I'm pretty miffed... I'll be very caution and wait 2-3 months after every new Nexus release or simply not buy from Google at all... we shall see...

ok by me
Bought the 8 at launch from the Play Store to see if I would like using a tablet. Now I use it all the time. Rely on it. So. Afraid to root it in case I brick it. Want root for Stickmount. 32G means I can have a load of storage and root my 8 with no fear. Cool. Also, its easy to forget just how low cost these devices really are. I think the 32 is a response to the ongoing criticism of the non expandable storage capacity. I like that they listened.

A UK based catalouge retailer called Argos has published it's Christmas supplement with the 32GB being £199.99

Now they have stopped the Play Store credit and freebies, along with great economies of scale, maybe the 8 GB will get a price cut to undermine the cheapest Kindle Fire?

Nexus 7 8 GB version now?

Trying to find any news on the 8 gig Nexus 7 pricing. Staples still has it listed as 199. Anyone know or have confirmation if the price has dropped?

I believe that it's been discontinued, but we should be able to find remaining stock -- heavily marked down -- in stores and online. The 8gb version does not appear on Play.Google.com or on Walmart.com. I would think that the 8gb versions, while they last, should be marked about $150.00, but...

It is/was. Staples near me still has some in stock but they are 199.99

I sold my 8GB yesterday for $175. Barely ahead of today's announcements. I paid $150 with magnetic case for it on Craig's List. Putting it aside for the Nexus 10. N7 was too small for my eyesight to read comfortably. So I guess my suggestion would be to also check out alternate sources as I did.

It originally wasn't supposed to be sold in stores because going the retail route on the 8gb would end up costing them money since the unit was sold so cheap. The 8gb started showing up when the 16gb models couldn't stay stocked, which was a last ditch effort from Google/Asus to keep the supply flowing.
So there ARE 8gb models in the wild and ARE discontinued. I would think that Staples and a select other few would have them discounted. Walmart only had 16gb when I went there last. Craigslist and other 2nd hand sites are likely to be experiencing a rush of 8gb and 16gb models because they are trading for the 32gb.

8GB should be 150$

I'm sad that the 8GB model has been discontinued.. I just bought it the first of this month back when none of this news wasn't around..
I don't wanna go through the process of selling this and getting the 16gb.

Pretty much an empty channel
Every place I checked was sold out of the 8GB units over a month ago, and it was even difficult to track down unopened 16GB models. Everyone in the distribution chain knew about the product shuffling.
The ones you are likely to find now are customer returns, and there will be few that fall within the common 14 or 30 day return window.

Have the screen separation issues been completely resolved? I have a launch 8gb that I want to get replaced. I'm not trying to get a 16gb out of this and I'm hoping if I go through the process now, they won't give me hassle, accusing me of trying to upgrade.

just actually posted my Nex 7 8gb on Craigslist yesterday. we don't use it since we have the ipad.
listing at $150 but taking $125 if i get it. Hate losing $75 so quickly, but that's tech. look on craigslist.

I doubt they'll sell it cheaper for now. Probably keep it for 199 until supplies settle down and when they only have a few, then probably sell them off on clearance.
People are still idiots with this stuff. If they advertise it for 199 people will come in and buy the 8gb probably without looking. Kinda dishonest but companies always do this crap.

I got an 8GB a while back. I don't really need much more storage than that. The music goes on the phone and I hardly keep big games on it.

As a staples employee I can tell you we have stopped selling the 8Gb model. A week before the price drop it went inactive for us.

Yes, we all have the same feeling, the Nexus 7 is a fine piece of hardware and it was indeed worth every penny I paid for it, I'm too grown up to care what other people pay for theirs..

I just wish I had known there was a 32gb coming considering I bought my N7 a month ago. I need more space than 13gb of usable memory, that's like 5 hd games.
I think this is part of the reason behind the Google Play $25 credit honestly, so really I only paid $225

Glad I waited, just bought the 16GB.
-Brought to you by Marino's Galaxy Nexus-

What bothers me is that the resell value was slashed. I mean if you bought a 16gb for $250+tax, you could probably resell it for $225 on top of all of initial offerings we've gotten from Google. Now it is $199, you'd be lucky to get $175 for it. Plus with the upgraded memory people aren't going to want the 16gb so you'll have to practically give it away.
Oh well. Life is full of surprises. They should have just came out with a 16/32gb unit out of the gate and stop screwing around with 8gb. Memory is so cheap now-a-days that it is pathetic that we allow manufactures keep us in this rut. I mean I had 16gb CF in my old Dell x51v Windows 5.0 "palmtop" haha. Honestly units SHOULD be coming in as 32/64gb these days... or even 64/128gb.
Media consumption is getting deeper and deeper. With games using 4gb each, 8/16gb just don't cut it without sacrifice.

Full agree on that post. But ive learned my lesson, i will wait at least till Christmas to get a Nexus 4 and closely watch the rumors.

I will second that. I do not regret paying full price for mine. That's always the price you pay for buying tech. It gets cheaper and specs always improve. Give it a few more months and there will be something better and cheaper on the market, that I have no doubt.
If your happy to pay the price when you did, then where's the problem.

im stuck
I sold my 16gb nexus 7 to my roommate because 16gb was to small for me and i want to buy the 32 gb version
But i also want the nexus 10 or the new chrome book as a replacement for my Transformer prime
the Transformer prime is ok especially for what i do (I use it for school/occasionally web surfing) but it has no real upside. it still lags, and slows down for no reason.
Anyone have any ideas what should i do?
Im thinking nexus 7 and probably the chromebook, its got the same processor and ram.

I'm being philosophical about this.
I bought the 16GB version three months ago so I've certainly had my money's worth.
Wife seems disinterested in having my N7 to make way for a 32GB upgrade and then Google announces the N4 16GB and I need to upgrade from my HD2 anyway.
Wife needs to upgrade her phone, too, so she can have the HD2.
My N7 still has about 6GB free space and that's with a lot of apps and stuff which would usually be on my phone.
Once I've bought the N4 and moved a lot of apps and stuff over to that there will be sufficient room on the N7 for my needs.
Plus there's still OTG and Drop Box ... Or VPN to my own local server ..

Nexus 7 16GB Discontinued????

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?

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.

Staples and Sears - every store that shows units in stock, doesn't have a single unit for resale. Either the units in stock are customer returns which are not available for sale or they are falsely being reported as stocked.
Office Depot, OfficeMax, Gamestop, Microcenter, RadioShack: every store near me is sold out.

If they're sold out, they're sold out. A lot of us have kids and there is no physical difference in the two and there's no way he would know the difference.
They're identical looking machines.

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?

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:
