Google seems/seemed unprepared for the popularity of the N7.

Hopefully this should be sufficient:
My assault on the bandwidth on anyone opening this thread is now over! :-D
Is there more letter boxing on the sides? On my touch pad there are black boarders on each side beyond the white page boarder, about half an inch thick on both sides.

I wonder if they'll at least upgrade shipping to a priority one?
Has anyone had much experience with TNT? I had it delivered to home on the off chance it was delivered on a Saturday but I've since found out they don't deliver on weekends (without paying a premium). Are you able to change the shipping address once the tracking number has been provided? Or at least have it delivered to a different address if you missed the initial package?

I paid 20 dollar shipping and it hasn't shipped yet :| And I live in north america :|
If it does ship today I expect it tomorrow no ifs and or buttockses

Mine had an origin scan of today and delivery expected tomorrow.
Label printed on the 12th though, lol.
I wonder where that leaves us who havent even been charged yet. I expect mine no earlier than Wednesday unless google overnights this shit.
Perfect.

That's so old Bro, so old.
I'm just waiting for my tracking number so I can tell TNT to not even bother delivering it and return it to the sender as I'm not going to accept it and will be pushing for a full refund, including delivery seeing as they wouldn't let me cancel it five days ago and it still hasn't been dispatched (I assume so at least, never know with this communication).
I played with it a bit over the weekend and I do think it is fantastic. It is the perfect level of thickness (I'm not a fan of these wafer-thin devices - I need a tablet I can hold on to), and the size is extremely comfortable. I can use it easily while lying down or lazing around which was my intention and the reason why my Touchpad went largely unused. I complained previously about the PPI. Upon using it for a bit I am putting that down to just coming from the Galaxy Nexus - it is more than acceptable after having gotten used to it.

the sad part is, it's not true. My pre-order is older

They're just taking their time with your order, they want it to be perfect for you.

Honestly I expect 50 bucks in credit for the play store, a 250+ word apology for what has gone down with this travesty, a press release informing the public why google doesn't give a shit about you, a discount for future nexus devices, and a device without any issues.
only then will I forget this whole ordeal. Or at least consider forgetting.
First Nexus device? First Nexus device.

I'm probably like 40-something going by that timing. NY to South Florida is about 3-4 days ground, so if they don't ship today I won't be seeing it until next week. =*(

UPS just updated my order. Says it should be here by the end of the day tomorrow. I guess that's better than nothing!
Same. Though for my UPS, when they mean end of day, it is end of day. I'm the last section of their routes, so they come by usually after 7pm.
You sure you didn't order a Neckus 7 from the Pay Store by Goggle?

Holy shit, my order on the wallet page has jumped to the top of recent purchases with a purchase date of July 16, 2012. I guess that means the charge is going through despite the actuall wallet entry still stating :
Jun 28

Yep play has changed to 16th of July but my wallet still saying 29th of June, but still movement which is good
Yeah who knew. They shipped my Nexus 1 within 24 hours from the states. I would have ordered it again if it weren't for the delivery fee.
That only good thing to come from this is that XDA thread. Its been pretty damn entertaining in there for almost a week now.
The N7 has DLNA support. So you just need some kind of streaming application and a DLNA box for your TV.
you mean out of the box? or through an app like skifta
I was in the same situation. Since it was fuzzy, I just put them towards the B2G1 video game sale that they had.
I'm fine toughing it out with my Xoom for a while longer, but I'm getting an N7 for my wife. She's been happy with the Kindle Fire since it launched, but I think she's ready for a big girl tablet now and the N7 seems like the most ideal.
I'll upgrade my Xoom when there's something with an HDMI out, SD card, and Jelly Bean available.

Nexus 7 owners, how true is this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32DD4DF7Qpo
It's pretty easy to open it. Those people are morons.
It amazes me how few companies realize how important unboxing is. Apple (I believe Samsung does now as well) has an entire team whose job it is is to make the unboxing experience more enjoyable.

No, that's a direct screenshot and is how it looked. Different app/comic maybe?
I had trouble getting out of the sleeve and box : (
