I don't know about you guys but I haven't been giving my phone ANY attention after I picked up my N7. I love this thing. I have the galaxy s2 skyrocket and it doesn't even compare to the joy I get out of my tablet.

it does now cuz jelly bean is now on it(;
I do, because I also got a SGS3 within days of it, making it 2 new devices. LOL
Nope lol.
And after a good while on my Tablet, When i pickup my SG2 if feels like its shrank lol.
I start to struggle to look at the screen and text lol
My Trophy, about the same as always ( I love my phone & the fact it runs WP7!) I have though dug out my old HD2 & flashed ICS to its nand memory as I have very little experience with Android and am loving it, I love being able to mess around with settings & tweak stuff, is making me more excited to get my Nexus 7 with all its quad core JellyBean goodness!!
Lol I know I have to squint when I look at the phone now. Also my s2 doesn't have HD screen so it looks like crap next to my N7. I love this thing.

Isn't the nexus the same as the N7? Pretty much I mean. I heard somewhere that its kind of like a blown up nexus running jelly bean? I never played around with a galaxy nexus.

My phone has lasted for 3 days without charging (since I got my N7)
First time ever
Yes and praise baby Jesus for that. Before this I was constantly checking the evo lte forums for some jelly bean, or even just some aosp love. The n7 has definitely distracted me from that. Now I just pick my phone to see if I have an lte signal

Hi everyone
I commute to work into the city every day.On the train I see the usual suspects iPhone/ iPad Samsung galaxy and a shed load of Kindle touches.
With Nexus selling loads why do I feel so lonely? I have yet to spot anther Nexus7 user.Have any of you spotted one yet?If so when and where?
I've seen several. A friends of mine has one. At places like chick fil a and Atlanta bread they r a frequent.
I live in Alabama though.
War Eagle.
I've never met anybody in person with a nexus anything. That's one reason why I love the nexus line. It's a lot more rare to me and not "trendy". It's not a social status symbol.
I have yet to see one too! Although every iPad user I see is interested in my awesome tablet! :laugh:

Most places are still sold out of Nexus 7 so many would-be Nexus 7 owners have not gotten theirs yet. With that said, other devices such as iPad or Kindle have been out much longer so it's not really a fair comparison either.
Someone I saw had one yesterday, and I heard someone else say to him 'wow, its like a mini ipad'

In my area the nexus 7 is super rare because I'm the only one who ordered one from the only gamestop in my area! Plus the rep that gave me my tab told me to stop in and tell him how it is because he wants to trade his iPad in for it!

:good: and I even like it with 4.2!
I love mine too! 4.2 not so much until Devs catch up and we have Recoveries that play nice with it. It also broke ability to use USB storage devices with it. I got it from playstore when it came out. It arrived the 2nd day after. 1st thing was unlock and root. Ran stock 4.1.2 until I put on a custom 4.2 (plain vanilla )rom. I previously had Galaxy Tab 7.0+. Very expensive and I thought I was getting the best. It was OK, but my 32Gb N7 beats it six ways from Sunday in smoothness, reliability. Also the GT7 had a proprietary charge and data port/cable. It was USB but you needed a converter cable for lots of stuff. The N7 is great out of the box but awesome!! when unlocked, rooted and rom'ed. Everything just seems to work better. Movies, music, email, calendar, notes, to do's games, You name it. Now if I could just make calls on it...oh, wait, with Google (Voice?) you can I am told!
Problem with 4.2 is it messed up the sd card file partitions so that I can no longer make Nandroid back-ups. I sure it will be fixed in a few days. Meanwhile, I am enjoying the crap out of this thing.
Loved it since I bought it. Eyeing the N73G for the holidays, then the Mrs. Gets the 16.

Loving my nexus 7 as well. As a apple fanboy the nexus really has impressed me. The only thing I don't love about the nexus (android problem i guess) is that none of the browsers can compare to the Safari-browser found in the ios echo system. Sluggish scrolling, accidently clicking links when scrolling never happens to me on my ipad or iphone. Google, tweak the chrome-browser and my apple fanboy days might be over.

Can some one please tell me how exactly this is good news?

But here's the kicker: there's no recalls, so you bought the first car and now you're gonna spend money and but the better version of the SAME EXACT FREAKING CAR! Is there anyone else with common sense who gets what's going on or is XDA full of rich people that like throwing away money?

I want make a direct comment on this, but you're honestly not making much sense. That being said, I'll try my best:
People who bought the original Nexus 4 aren't also buying the new updated Nexus 4, it's more for the people who are on Verizon or Sprint, who are unable to use the Nexus 4 on that network. It's like releasing a European version of the car so that people in Europe can buy it, too, you know, with the steering wheel on the opposite side and fun stuff like that, keeping in line with the metaphor.
Not sure what you're referring to as the "weaker transmission" here either, but with regards to the "trunk space," no one was forced to buy the initial 16GB Nexus 4, as there was almost every other phone option out there with SD cards, etc. if you really cared about space. Plus, I feel most people like myself did know that a 32 GB Nexus was coming out months later during the I/O possibly, prior to buying the Nexus 4 as they did do this with the Galaxy Nexus as well.
I was under the impression that n4 already has lte you just have to activate it in the hidden menu or something like that.

I was offered a trade for a 32gb Nexus 5 for my Note 3. I was wondering if anyone is also considering this. I am stuck between the two. The only thing thats keeping me from doing the trade is that the battery is awful on the Nexus 5. Just wanted some opinions on this. Thanks
Nope. U getting some extra cash (I mean 399 vs 650) cause straight trade doesn't make sense, might as well sell the note and buy a new nexus

Definitely not worth the trade... If you wanted to you can just buy one used in a month for probably less than 300 and have both phones
agree with everyone here. just read all the reviews on both everywhere if you're still unsure. note 3 is still the best phone on the market. i was in your shoes too deliberating between the two and picked the note 3; very glad i did.
I'm sold on the Nexus 5 after I persuaded my coworker to get one, but I wouldn't even consider trading my note 3 for it.
The truth is I'm having some awful luck with my note. I'm on my 2cd device and I can't seem to stay connected to a wifi network. Plus the home button on both went from perfectly pushable to a sunk in button I have to mash with my fingernail. Sammy definitely didn't hit a home run as far as build quality imho.

That's weird, I've had zero wifi issues. I'm using the 5ghz channel of my buffalo ac router. I also tested the 2.4ghz and no issues.
This thread is all kinds of wrong. First the Note 3 is worth a considerable amount more than a Nexus 5. Second, this phone beats it in some important categories including screen, battery life and features.
And last but not least, stock Android blows. Especially the latest version with those big and ugly icons. Stock Android is super boring to me and too light on features.
Just my opinion but don't do it.

Battery life on the Nexus 5 compared to the Note 3, is night and day. The N5 can't even last a day, not even close.
And I still love the deep Plasma blacks, and vibrant colors of AMOLED screens, I've seen the N5 in store, and it looks washed out in comparison.
Plus more RAM on the Note 3.

Making a phone with that small of a battery is like putting a 3 gallon gas tank on a car...almost not usable. 3,500-4,000 mah should be the standard on phones these days. You would be very disappointed with the trade.

Erica Griffin from YouTube did a mini review of the Nexus 5 and she was only about 3:30 uptime, 2:20 screen time and she was at 26% battery. It's a joke and even she was saying the same pretty much.
If you are a moderate to heavy user in any way, why would you even consider the Nexus 5?
