[Khalifa Jayy]

Separate thread for impressions?

 

[BFIB]

I say keep it in house.

Congrats Emily, you have no idea how much jealously is running through my first world veins.

 

[th3dude]

I hate all of you.

I want my Play order to ship and come to my house!

 

[Salaadin]

Anyone try staples yet? I cant seem to get thru to mine.

 

[FlyingTeacup]

pc world is selling on monday.

I guess they are shipping out on monday in the uk.

Wasted 8 quids on shipping.

 

[Divvy]

Whelp, just ordered one.

 

[Salaadin]

My account just got pre-authed. Hopefully it's shipping today or Monday.

More people are reporting the same.

When did you order?

 

[e_i]

Can anyone with one run a 1080p mkv with soft subs on it?

 

[BFIB]

Got a feeling Google scrambled since Gamestop released theirs and other outlets are stating Sunday for release.

 

[Shadowhaxor]

Anyone noticing the image retention issues that were noticeable on the Google I/O units? Still really curious about this as I haven't gone to pick up my Nexus 7 yet.

I'm taking solace in the fact that I'm getting 16 gigs for the price of an 8 gig, even if it takes an extra week.

 

[NumberTwo]

While my indignation isn't as palpable as some (whatever, I can wait), this launch does demonstrate how Google can be as inept as they are brilliant. I'm still not happy about paying some pretty egregious tax and shipping (via Play Store) when it wasn't necessary.

how?

 

[kehs]

how?

Between shipping and taxes from the playstore the 8 gig came out to $230 or so.

giga posted a link to JR with a coupon, and the 16 gig came out to $235 with 3 day shipping.

dat galaxy nexus camera...

Grats on the pick up

man, that box looks sick, love how the use the actual tablet as the 7

 

[Futureman]

It's obvious that Google has given up on "not being evil", but they could go for a little goodwill by giving the folks who pre-ordered the Nexus 7, and got it AFTER folks walking into random stores, a little something extra. Make it an extra $50 on the Play store, or a discount on some other Google service.

Yup, they I think they should give something extra, and apologize for having the worst online store ever. If they want to compete with Apple, they're really gonna have to work on customer service. I DO NOT want a phone number that doesn't work, or a random Python script when I have stuff to complain about. I went a well trained human, who listens, and has instructions from management to do whatever it takes to make me happy.

damn man. This is their first big product launch EVER.

Maybe call them incompetent/unorganized for now, but how is what they are doing evil? haha

nice.

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

Dat box will look great in a dark closet with all the other gadget boxes.

I think today will be full of meltdowns in this thread. And I understand!

 

[Robobandit]

The boxes have ASUS tape on them.. makes me think they are being shipped to retailers from Asus, not google.

Plus, we have no idea just how many orders google received for the nexus 7..

 

[Divvy]

Well if you combine the fiasco that was the galaxy nexus launch, and the fiasco that was the asus transformer prime launch....

...This really shouldn't have surprised you.

 

[Levi]

Posting from my Nexus 7. There was a software update I had to do, now to sign into all my apps.

 

[Hieberrr]

Dis nuthafucka!

Spoiler

I'm jealous.

 

[derder]

I'll bet this had everything to do with the search bar and 4.1.1 release coupled with the fact that Asus is in charge of shipment.

Automated messages says that the first wave of preorders are shipping today with the rest of the preorders expected to ship within 3 business days.

Is this for Google Play orders?

 

[Salaadin]

Yes

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Picked them up from Gamestop shortly after the store opened.

Jelly level rising. -_-

This is actually google's 4th product launch (arguably their biggest since you can buy this from more stores than just them and best buy) but it doesn't seem they've learned anything in how to do well at retail.

I meant first retail launch.

How's the battery life compared to an iPad 3?

 

[Dunlop]

How's the battery life compared to an iPad 3?

Pretty sure nobody has had one long enough to actually charge it to full and test it out

 

[virtuoso88]

How's the battery life compared to an iPad 3?

From the reviews I read, it's at least equal to the new iPad if not slightly better.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I think first wave is everyone who ordered before July 1st. Second Wave is probably a week or so later, 3rd wave is probably early/mid august. Would suck if someone had to wait until then.

 

[dwebo]

someone needs to tell staples to get their ship on

preordered mine on june 29th.

bloody google knows how to ruin one's weekend!

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

This has been a travesty retail wise. I preordered this past monday at Gamestop when I went to get NCAA Football 13. Four days later and I have my two. Shit is madness.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Also some people have had pre-authorization to charge their card for a week now, and no ship from google.

After this they might as well just stop running a store or something They clearly don't know how.

 

[reKon]

so if I really wanted I could go to gamestop right now and pick up one of these before some of you that preordered??

 

[Salaadin]

Not necessarily. Gamestops took preorders too and some of them only received enough to fulfill those. Call first if thats what you are planning on doing.

 

[BFIB]

Just tried my local Gamestops with no luck. They only got what was reserved for the first wave.

Meanwhile, nothing from Google. No charge, no email. Think I learned my lesson.

 

[Samus4145]

Last time I rush and order from Google. Worst launch ever, ok maybe not as bad as the Saturn.

 

[The Albatross]

I didn't really want one but figured I'd check... neither of the two Gamestops next to my work have them. One was "taking pre-orders for the third shipment." ..

 

[Schlep]

Not necessarily. Gamestops took preorders too and some of them only received enough to fulfill those. Call first if thats what you are planning on doing.

If this area is any indication, most of them just received the preorders.

JustReader hard crashes on my Nexus 7. Can any one recommend me a good RSS reader?

 

[SRG01]

I'm actually surprised that EB Games in Canada isn't carrying the Nexus 7. The rep was like "what's the Nexus 7?" when I asked the other day.
