should i choose
nexus 7 or tab 2 7.0?
1 is 8GB rm 848, 16GB rm 948 and tab 2 RM999 (wifi+3G)

nexus has better screen quality, resolution, processor
but too bad got no rear camera and 3G
*
you ask here, people here sure say:
buy nexus 7, super fast processor, confirm android OS update, got project butter no lag, pure android experience, HD screen, of cos take nexus 7

you ask in tab2 thread, people sure say take tab2, got sd card not like junk nexus7 only 16gb, got rear camera can snap picture, we got 3g can online.

so you make your own decision.

i see
true also what u have just said
but if compare the price la
which do u think is more worth?
*
my opninion is nexus 7.

project butter makes this the most fluid android out there, plus the quad core its fantastic.
i had my doubts with tegra3, dont like the 4power core + 1 weak core idea, but after using it,
it really is smooth, no lag like other tab.

tab2 i try before in samsung sme shop, its really noticeably slower,
even things like swipe homescreen, enter app tray, remove icons in notification bar is laggy.
can notice skipped frames instantly.

the 13gb storage not an issue for me since i got phone with 32gb sd card.
3g pointless for me since my phone also no 3g. i'm more of a wifi guy.
camera on tablet is really useless. my old tablet got camera but i never use it at all.

if you can life with 13gb, no 3g and no rear camera,
nexus 7 totally powns tab2.

tab2 got sd card, 3g, but you need spend money buy sd card and data plan.
and you must live with laggy bloated ics with outdated software, and that horrific screen.

so what you have big 64gb memory card, you can only watch pixelated low res "HD" movie.
1024x600 is a really bad resolution. you sure you can live with that?

Added on September 21, 2012, 9:12 pmguy, for the 25USD credit, please dont do refund, it wont refund you. i lost 4usd....so sad man....

by the way method to get 25usd credit will be added to 2nd post at op.

You might wrongly configured your Wallet, I've done couple of refunds paid by Google Play Balance (aka USD25 Gift).

Here is one of the example..., the amount spent was credited back to my account.

how long does it takes? to get back the refund?

just to share: rooting makes nexus 7 more vulnerable and may void warranty. i strongly suggest not to root it. if u want paid apps for free there's no reason to root it bcoz u can get em without rooting(that's d beauty of android), unlike ios u need to JB.

i've been using since 1.9 something.

now on 2.12.

i update to 2.13 got a bug, the control keys, back home and recent,
will swap place in landscape mode. totally sucks.
only happens if you are using phone UI, tablet UI unaffected.

if you are planning to use phone UI, install the 2.12 one.

“The credit card you have entered does not qualify for this promotion.”

what to do?

i just tried just now, the method at the OP faq works.

the instruction did say a fresh reset nexus7 works best.
so i do cwm backup, and factory reset and try it.
folo exactly the instruction dun enable location.

it does work. even on custom rom.
i borrow friend visa credit card.
after got the credit i remove the card from google wallet.


maybe you can try factory reset, or use other credit card.

Added on September 22, 2012, 12:49 amhttp://www.examiner.com/article/nexus-7-users-get-free-25-google-play-store-credits-via-factory-reset-loophole

have you guys hear this before?
does it still work?

long story short:
1. get unlimited 25usd
2. factory reset, reg with google account keyin credit card claim 25usd
3. gactory reset, reg with another google account, and claim another 25usd.

Just want to share

at 1st i use the `CactusVPN Free Trial have  US, UK, NL VPN'. Then I noticed only UK Pound 15 & not USD25. I proceed but then a message ur credit card bla bla not entitled bla bla.

Then restart again all the procedure (factory reset, VPn etc), this time  using US Miami server and a message `..USD 25 will b ...' appears. After 3 attempt using 3 different credit cards, at last I got the USD25.

I straight use us Miami server.

Finally solved, changed to another wifi hotspot then can already. What is the best recommended apps to buy? hehe
*
I think buy tool apps more worth.
Games not worth because after finish play won't use anymore.

I bought
ROM toolbox pro
Titanium backup pro
Cerberus anti theft
Friend caster pro
Apex launcher pro.

highly recommend the first 3.
The last 2 jz waste money buy cos duno what else to buy

I agree with you, and I spent the last day trying to explain a little "business" economic... but I don't think they understand...

Next time you buy at 7-11, Jusco or even your corner Chicken Rice shop.... just ask yourself... what is their margin.... If you think businesses can survive with 10-20% markup.... you are so WRONG.....lol.....

better you stay on the consumer end.... don't question so much, later you cant even go out buy a Tshirt, or even your economy rice... say everyone else is greedy.....

It is just business, every level makes a cut..... a cycle of life.... some make more... some make less.....

If you believe it is expensive... don't buy.... it is your consumer right... and it may hurt the sales of the N7....

Look at the Iphone5...... everybody complain.... "nothing exciting"..... "not revolutionary".... etc etc... but they still gonna go out and buy one...at a premium price.... (Apple has the highest margin for phones than any other brand, and price controlled!)

Many still gonna b**** RM999 expensive.... go buy imported units from Forum.... I am sure if you wait until all the Senq got stock, their price will drop further..... if you wait till Ipad Mini.... every N7 in the market will price adjust...

I always say.... "Don't blame inflation..... just make more!"
*
problem is, many people interested in this due to the 249usd.
and they naively expect convert the mount should be rm7XX here.
when hear its 999 they go all "oh its so expensive"

i've added a section in the faq about the pricing. hope it will clear the air abit.

one small trivia.

the dpi on nexus 7 same as galaxy s2. (216dpi)
means each pixel same size.

resolution is 1280x800, 800x480

the keyboard width in nexus 7 portrait mode exactly same width as s2 keyboard in landscape.
lol...


strange i find s2 screen abit low res. but feel nexus7 screen very sharp.
probably because i hold phone very close to eyes (15-20cm), but tablet further (30cm)
amazing how a small distance can change the perception of screen sharpness.

if you use your friends visa card, need to remove from your google wallet.
go to a pc, google search for "google wallet" log in and remove it.

Cool. Love to see that. Did anyone try use USB UTG and plug to USB Hub (so can connect multiple device). Planned to plug USB Mouse +Keyboard + Hard disk. So far tested, plug each of them is ok. Just worry, not enough power supply to plug multiple device.

Hi, i've tried that before. and its quite pointless.
you see the beauty of a tablet is the lightness and portability.
can hold anywhere you go, sofa, bed, chair, walking, anywhere.

if set up like you described, it will be stuck at the table, and you use it like a netbook,
sitting at that distance, the screen is too small already.

using a mouse on the tiny screen is not intuitive.
the keyboard at the begining stage i always plug it in to type, but after some practice can type fast on n7, i also lazy to plug the keyboard already.
its fun to test out the keybord and mouse combo. but after awhile the excitement died down, its really troublesome and pointless.

strange device launch. i'm puzzled as well.
suppose ready stock alot alot only called launch ma.
if no stock should not called launch, should call announcement.

instead of scolding here, you guys go spam asus and senQ fb page la. should be more effective.

or just get from garage sales sellers.
should be many people selling. since the rrp is announced at 999,
garage salles should be cheaper abit.

Hotspot (previously, The Nexus Shop) in LowYat. Opened. Many local sets available. Same owner as MacStudio, Sony and Samsung shop in lowyat. Currently, only 1-year local warranty. But the Boss said he is negotatiating 1+1 for his customers and will notify when available. Price is RM999 for 16GB. When I was there at 2PM, still got a lot of stock. Another batch of 500 units coming in soon. According to the Boss. 

They have many demo sets of Nexus 7 hooked up with headphones. Can play. Even the Nexus Q is available on display.

Unit G17, Ground Floor. Just a few doors down from Samsung / HP.
