Hello,
How are you?
I was wondering if anyone got buyers remorse after buying a nexus 10.
I think I am experiencing it a bit...
I got my nexus 10 and really like it's screen, speakers and speed.
It does not however bring anything new to my nexus 7, so I am thinking if I should have spent the money for the nexus 10...
I really don't see myself taking out too much. For portability I have the nexus 7. And to use around the house, it's nice, but does it justify the cost to have another device lying around...?
Cheers

Mmmm that's not exactly buyer's remorse. That's the question if you needed a 10" tablet or not, since you already had a 7" tablet.
I have buyers remorse... I should have never bought the Prime.
No remorse and delighted to have a tablet worthy of the Android OS without any bloatware from manufacturers or telephone companies and timely system updates.
The screen is amazing and the speed is fantastic especially when Web browsing using the Ocean browser which is now my default after switching from Dolphin.
It is great using the Nexus 10 just like a laptop or desktop with no need to install all those Web apps from sites like the BBC, ITV, TVCatchup, newspapers, etc. to view sites as the browser will do. I suspect the proliferation of these Web site apps has been caused by the inability of Apple devices to view the sites properly without Flash.
I am never going back to a 7 inch tablet even though it is more portable for the experience of using a 10 inch tablet like the Nexus 10 is so much better.
No remorse here - super happy with my purchase... now just have to fight with the Wife to actually use it.

I returned my Infinity after a week due some lag in hd video that I thought was just unacceptable for a brand new device. Looking back; glad I did. For cheaper, I got the Nexus 10. I just hope there is some sort of nice keyboard dock to go with the Nexus 10 that maybe...just MAYBE....takes an SD card like the Transformer line. Would be great to have on trips for when I need more multimedia storage.

^^^^This^^^^
I had buyers remorse when I got my Infinity because my Gtab 10.1 performed better. I have zero remorse with the N10.
No remorse at all.
I knew that OS wise it wouldn't actually do anything that my Gnex doesn't already do. It was simply a matter of screen size for those functions.
Honestly I'm surprised that someone with a Nexus7 would buy the Nexus 10 as well.
I sold my iPad 3 and purchased a Nexus 7 due to fear of screen lift and crappy Asus quality. Then I purchased it again but I found it really sucked compared to the iPad 3, especially the screen, and it was too small.
I was ready to get a Surface until I saw the price and screen and tegra 3.
I love my Nexus 10. It's amazing and exactly what I was looking for.
While I initially had a bit of buyers remorse. It was primarily due to the fact that my Xoom still worked and did not have any issues, but man, while I dont use it much in portrait mode, it handles so much better. I have no complaints with the weight or the feel, the screen is incredible. Highly recommend, just wish they had accessories for it. I think that it is Samsung weakness and Motorola's strength is accessories.

OP,
I get where you're coming from. The 7 is perfectly usable in all respects. Pragmatically speaking you didn't need the 10. But, you have it now, so, your choices would seem to be either returning it or enjoying the big screen comfort cruise.
I say luxuriate!
Hell no. All my friends keep saying how crap it is cause of lack of apps and not as smooth as iOS but I just ignore them

None here. There are some bugs to work out and fix, but they seem to come and go with flashing new ROMs and such.
I haven't used my laptop since I received the Nexus 10.
None!!! I love the Nexus 10. I am just waiting for more app compatibility with Android 4.2, but that does not make me regret getting it.
I've been still thinking about whether or not I should of chosen a Nexus 4 over a Nexus 10 (I'm still within my refund period for another few days), but meh, still siding with my Nexus 10 decision
None at all! This is my first tablet purchase, and I think I made an excellent choice. Just like a previous poster, I haven't booted up my laptop once since I received my N10. I love the screen and size. I'm not intending on taking it out the house much, so 10 inches works perfectly for me. I'm confident the minor glitches we've been experiencing will be fixed by software updates soon by Google. We just got one today... I'm loving the fact that updates will come directly from Google, with no carrier interference.

AOSP support... nothing like it... for a guy like me, this is the only way to go... Love the device... screen is a beauty... speakers are much better than all other tablets... performance is great (don't trust benchmarks!!)
To be honest, the only times I felt like the nexus wasn't good enough was when reading these forums. I've been extremely happy with the device otherwise, but reading all the complaining can be infectious.
My only complaints would be about the speed of chrome browser (which really surprised me), but I replaced it with Boat, and also the lack of the Pogo cable/accessories. I don't feel like I received a different device than I was expecting.

Love it. Plain and simple. So happy announcement of N10 came within 30 days of my purchase of the Infinity. I returned it and SOOOOO glad I did. The extra RAM comes in very handy. And using dolphin browser has made all the difference web surfing.

Just pre-ordered a nexus 7 from google. I wondered if anyone else has after their experiences with our other asus based tab?
Benchmarks look to be better than the infinity even- on some tests!
I am thinking that google must have tons of spit and polish into this to release it themselves. Hoping for a much better experience on this one than I had on the prime, thinking that the finger pointing will stop asus=>google=>nvidia or nvidia=>google=>asus.
Also noticed that the stupid proprietary asus port is gone in favor of micro-usb!
Review on engadget:

I will first thing tomorrow morning. too good of a deal to pass up. ive seen i/o scores also. seems like they got it right or has updated drivers n such. might be due to jellybean firmware also.
Look at anandtech & slashgear review of it. they love it.
No chance in hell. Asus has lost me as a customer for good. I just read an article about how they made the Nexus 7 in 4 months. I hope Google was keeping a close eye on them, because I have no confidence this thing won't be a piece of garbage like the Prime.

Asus have had a 7" tablet in development for way longer than 4 months. I suspect the development of the MeMO dovetailed into the Nexus 7 quite nicely.
Ordered my Nexus 7 last night - had an original Galaxy Tab, and I love the 7" Form factor. A 7" Transformer would be the absolute nuts!

I am not convinced that the prime is garbage, through all of the issues- the thing shows promise, they just did not do enough homework. They may have gotten it right this time.

that article praises Asus. Google themselves said no other company could pull it off in that time period and make a great device like the Nexus 7 is. Asus is the one who made it happen.
I feel your concern about your prime experience and being skeptical on another product. but its already been shown the 300 is good, infinity pad now toted top Android tablet and everything good on it. then now the nexus tablet. which has been receiving rave reviews so far. it performs better than alot of high end tablets in certain areas. including the prime, 300, and infinity pad.
plus you have Google as the big brother looking over this. the nexus 7 is Google's baby. they will make sure its in good hands. I will be ordering one tomorrow morning. too good of a deal, based on specs and performance, to pass up.

Besides the Asus fanboy rhetoric from demandarin, it looks like a great tab and I can't fault Asus too much since they are one of the few companies willing to stand behind their tablets with active members in these forms and frequent updates( even though the updates have not fixed all of the issues/ made certain things worse). They are trying- and I can't help but feel that it actually does boil down to the asus/ google/nvidia relationship.

for $199 it's going to be epic. Granted, I'm mad it doesn't have an SD slot, but that doesn't matter at that price point. I know the tegra 3 can handle what I want, what is essentially a content viewer.
I'm going to wait before I buy it & see what real world customers have to say about it not tech sites.....fool me twice......
Also I read the 8gb has only like 5gb of free space!

This about sums it up for me.. I refuse to buy another ASUS product outright after my 201 but if there's no major hardware faults after launch and I can find one cheap on CL or something then might give it a shot
I was very excited but that all came to an end with the small disk space and no sd slot. Great a WiFi only device and DEPENDS on the internet for streaming media...
So I can use it in my home or drain my phone battery with the WiFi hotspot.
Please excuse my swypose on my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
I am planing on pre-ordering once I can make sure I will have the funds to do so.
Considering I was planning on getting a kindle fire soon going after the nexus 7 seemed more logical. As long I as I have 16gb of space I don't think I will really fill it. With all the cloud storage and if the OTG cable will work I won't have any complaints.
Please use the Nexus 7 fora for talking about it.
Closed.
Not sure if you can really call it trading up. Yes the hardware is better and all, but my 32GB TP was a great deal ($130 after my discounts and stuff).
Anyway, I'm think I can break even or lose a little if I put it up for sale (it's in mint shape with everything).
You guys think its worthwhile to trade it for a $250 tablet? I'm getting the 16GB from Gamestop because they are taking trade-ins for some stuff that I have (iPods and games) and giving an extra 30%. Can't beat that!
Thoughts on moving to a 7in tab? I already have a Galaxy Nexus and I've been trying to find side by side comparison with the two together. Not sure if it'd be too redundant to have those 2 devices....
I'm tempted to do the same. But whenever I use a Nook or Fire I don't think I want that size. I wish I could get my hands on the Nexus 7 and JB. The software may just make it worth it, but its almost half the size, and I mostly use it for web browsing.
Hands down I would say the Nexus 7 mops the floor with any of the 7" devices out there. I wonder is Google is too afraid to lose to the iPad to make a 10" Nexus. If it does bad they can say the 7 doesn't compete with the iPad, but you can't say that with one the same size.

There are rumors that they will come out with another 10" tablet this fall. Not sure what they would do to differentiate it. Right now there are some decent 10" tablets, but other than a cameras they aren't much better speced than the touchpad.
I too am on the fence, 7" is just so small for what I use my tablet, surfing and games. If you wanted something truly portable it might be right though.

personally I really love the 7" size.
7" seems to be the perfect size, even with my huge hands I still have problems playing games on my touchpad lol. I really want to pick one up

I concur with this—my girlfriend has a Fire and, while Amazon has done a nice job with it, I find the size too small for what I use a tablet for—though the size is probably ideal for reading electronic books. For on the go stuff, I use my Galaxy Nexus—for couch surfing, simple email and personal travel, I really prefer the 10-inch tablet.
I just put in a pre-order for the Nexus 7. It's too tempted considering the trade-in deals I got from Gamestop.
So I'll wait and see...
And our TP isn't even really a 10" tab... So it really doesn't help my cause of having a device that's only 2 inch smaller.
Just ordered me a 16gb model. I still plan to keep my TouchPad (I would never abandon it) and use it more as a CrapperPad or for other random uses.
I'm just getting tired of games and apps not working properly for the TouchPad. It's been a hell of a fun ride with it, but it's time to move on.
I was looking forward to sell my TP and buy nexus 7,but im not sure yet,because i love TP size and speakers. Just wait till nexus 7 official release,watch more reviews and then decide. If 7" screen is not problem for you then it's a good deal.
I say go for it. I read the review on cnet and it sounds cool.
I think it's great. Especially since it's a nexus. I was gonna go for one but I think everyone is selling their touchpads on ebay which has reduced their value to the point where it's not worth selling.
I currently use the prime daily and i got my GF the nexus 7 for couch browsing and just to have the latest OTA's all the time. However after using it, I really am liking the portability of the size and the performance is so much fast than the prime. Just not sure if i would miss the larger screen.
Yeah, i plan on selling my Prime soon and getting a Nexus 7!
I switched--but I was having horrible problems with my prime. One nexus 7 for me. One nexus 7 for my wife.

Due to the reputation of the prime and the release of infinity, the price of the prime is below what I'd like to get out of my prime.
I was able to easily get 500 out of my first transformer on ebay, this time around not so much luck.

Probably going to stick mine on eBay and Gumtree!
Mine is going on Craigslist & I haven't seen enough reviews on the 7 to get it. I'm looking at getting a ipad or a laptop.
already purchased one through Google play. UPS showed original scan at Ky hub center @ 9:20a.m. now ups shows my device leaving KY, departure scan, @ 2:09p.m.. so its on "In Transit" status now. will arrive for delivery to me tomorrow. can't wait!
oh and im keeping both. No need to get rid of my prime since i have no issues with it. it works great
I'd love to have both, but I'm keeping my prime. The keyboard dock is far too useful to give up. Besides, I have faith in the devs

yea both sounds like a good idea.
gonna get the N7, use it for a week or two and wait to hear about JB on prime.. then sell one of the 2.
Anyone want to buy a spare Prime?
Traded in my 3G Vita on one Saturday. So far its been an absolute pleasure to own, exactly what I was expecting.
My Prime, not so much.
Sorry guys, but I see no need on having a tablet without a dock station like the asus transformer line. I mean, a tablet without USB OTG,SD and microSD card reader and mouse pad is just an expensive toy to sit in front of the TV and surf on internet while watching at it. I use my prime both at work and while at school instead of bringing a heavy, big, overheating laptop, not to mention the battery life in the prime is way better. I know , the N7 came with a very good price, and I will buy one as soon as they reach Swedish market, but as I said before, for me it will work just as a toy to surf in front of the TV, no way that it would replace the Prime.

Pretty much the same boat I am in. Buying from staples and they have a 14 day return policy (I think). Not sure if selling my prime would be worth it at this point.

I am on it right now and I have to say it just outperforms the prime. Idk if its jb or what but everything is just after on the n7
The N7 doesnt seem to have these strange lags caused by the internal memory speed.
Also it scores way better in the benchmarks...
good thing: it uses the same memory as the prime! on paper the same speed ...

I think what it boils down to is, get what you want period. If you love the prime and it works for you then keep it, want the infinity or 7 then get it.
Nothing is worse than having a tablet and not want it, or you are dissatisfied with it, for whatever reason. Flip side, nothing is better than having a device and really like it.
The prime really doesn't do it for me, I thought it would (it's still is the best looking tablet out bar none) but it just doesn't. In the end I treat it like a business decision, I thought it would be good and it tuned out for me different. Now I'm trying to sell it and move on.
I started using windows 8 and I knew my next tablet device would have it 8 on it. I like everything about it. I think it's the better OS for me and my situation. I could go on an on bashing Asus, but why? I've found what works best for me. But that's just me...
I owned a Galaxy Tab 7" and a PlayBook prior to getting the Prime, and I'm considering the Nexus, but I found the 7" tabs to be too small for web browsing. Personally, I think the Galaxy Tab 8.9" is the best size.
Plus, it's another ASUS product. (My Prime's currently RMA'd to fix the rear camera issue).
I wish HTC had built the Nexus 7. The Nexus One was the best.
I got my shiny Nexus 10, opened it up, fantastic, screen brilliant. A very nice upgrade from the Nexus 7.
I got home and continued to get some new apps installed and had a browse using pulse. I ventured into my lounge, where the lights were a little brighter. I was about to turn the TV on and heard a buzzing noise.
FANTASTIC.
Google are sending me another...
I then made the mistake of updating FB saying its broken already. I should have just posted: APPLE FANBOYS, MAN/ANDROID DOWN, COME GET ME NOW WHILST I'M WEAK.
"Buy cheap, buy twice" That was possibly the best of the bunch.
It wasn't cheap?! haha, ah well.
After owning this for a day, i'm not that fussed about it breaking to be honest, its a minor fault and they sending me a new one. The main annoyance is people/idiots asking me why I didn't just buy an iPad?!
I cannot believe technology has such a divide, a tablet is a tablet, people don't have the same kind of hate for Nike if they are into Adidas, it really has become very sad.
Joined XDA today after using the site for some time and getting my old HTC tricked out. I won't go into too much detail now but I'm EXTREMELY happy with my new Nexus 4 and very happy I can sell my One X now.

Asus are no where near perfect either.. Google Nexus 7 screen lift or Neuxs 7 screen separation.
Nobody is perfect. Both my Nexus 10 and ASUS TF300T are excellent devices. If I held both under a microscope I could find something to complain about.
Everthing today is price, time to market and the stock price. Are you surprised things are not perfect?

This... unless you've tried a modern Asus tablet (possibly non-Nexus since the 7 sounds alright) you dont understand just how bad they can be. They cut corners in all the wrong places, and once you notice them you cant unnotice them.
Sorry that happened to you. Fortunately, many of us can say from experience that the good ones are really good. Far better than those Apple tablets that people seem to be mindlessly swooning over.
I swear to God I am so sick and tired of the same damn question "why didnt you get an iPad, it clearly has way more apps and blah blah blah". Because i dont wanna be paying to do everything on it, thats why.
O well, mine came a few weeks ago and it had a couple of random reboots, but im fine with it as it has no light bleed and it hasnt rebooted it self for a week or over now.

So when your downloading something you tablet is pretty much unusable. I never sold anything faster then that thing. Then after going to forums on any of there devices they all have the same problem.

I have a tf201 and got so sick of it I got a N10. I did like the keyboard, but there were just too many other little things that I could never get to work right. This after 3 rma's for wireless GPS and other issues . I have had this for 4 days and so far I really like it. I am still trying to get everything setup and figured out.
I think, what many people have trouble with is in how they use it. I don't really play games, but I do use it for productivity purposes and I'm reading a lot of books on Kindle or Google Books. What I found disappointing on the TF 201 was that I couldn't use it very well to write on the screen to take notes, which was a big frustration for me, as I don't want to have to type things out. The tests with my stylus on this has been a little better (using my jot pro) .
I think I also like the screen much better over the TF 201 which was a low resolution, something that I feel awful cheated on, because they came out with the tf700 so quickly afterwards with the same hardware except for the screen.

I have the Infinity 700t using the stock rom, unrooted. With the latest JB firmware update, there is minimal lag. Yesterday I downloaded 3 gb of files (The Bard's Tale) and was able to browse and do other tasks. Overall performance, including browsing is good- not spectacular, but highly usable and reasonably fast. Other than using Boat Browser, routinely clearing browser cache, occasional cold booting and disabling a lot of the pre-installed apps- I have made no system changes. Also, I uninstalled the FB client. Mostly because I find it a very poorly developed piece of software- actually preferring the web version.

I ditched my Nexus 7 two weeks ago.
It is the same buggy 4.2.1 version of Android that the Nexus 7 has. Like the Nexus 7 though the ROM and kernel developers have tamed it.
The screen is like night and day, and it is a lot faster.
I do miss my Nexus 7 a lot though. Even now I still reach for it by reflex when leaving the house.. The portability and small form factor was awesome for out of the house.

N7 is a great device but I love my N10, no regrets! You gain HDMI out, rear camera, speed, screen resolution and lose some portability.
I did kind of like gaming on my N7 more than on my N10 (holding the N7 is a bit easier for me anyway), but I love the way games look on my N10 more than my N7
My mom got gifted the nexus 7 and I loved playing with it. I got the nexus 10 but it was a tough decision. The price and the form factor for the 7 is amazing.

I have both and the thing is I havebeen using my N10 more, but I use it for work alot so I like having thw bigger screen and resolution. But N7 is still an awesome tab.

Sold out ( hopefully they get more in soon. Can't decide between a 16 or 32. My n7 is 16 only because they didn't have 32 at the time

It is the same buggy 4.2.1 version of Android that the Nexus 7 has. Like the Nexus 7 though the ROM and kernel developers have tamed it.
The screen is like night and day, and it is a lot faster.

I went from the seven to the ten, and I'm not gonna lie, although I do miss the seven, the ten definitely bests it in pretty much every area, except foot portability. I took my seven with me everywhere. The extra size on the ten is nice for watching movies, and I would hate to take a loss in performance, but I'm honestly thinking of returning my ten and saving $250 bucks by just getting another seven and waiting to see what comes out in the following months.
Buy if you've decided to spend the money I seriously doubt you will regret making the switch. Definitely an upgrade in every area except for portability.

I have both,
N7 is now used to read books (couch, stationary bike, sauna), play Pandora or tunein radio in my speakers, check emails.
N10 I use it to browse internet mainly, it is much much faster than the N7.
Nexus 4 is just a communication device(lot of sms, calls, whatsapp, viber, quick emails, stocks, weather)
I'm glad I'm able to use the 3 of them. They all have areas where they shine.
If i would need to choose between N7 and N10, I'll probably choose N10.
The N7's size is both a blessing and a curse. As much as I like the portability having a larger screen is worth a little less portability and ergonomics IMO.
I thought about going with an N7 but every time I used it I was left wanting more from the screen. I couldn't be happier with the N10 at this point.
Rear-facing camera is the biggest thing that basically ended my debate on whether to get a N7 with 3G, or N10. I rely on my N10's rear camera a good bit

You know what I hate most about the rear facing camera on the N10? That it's actually really good.. I prided myself in mocking people who used a tablet as a camera.. Now... I'm that guy.. The N10 camera takes remarkably crisp pictures..

Seriously considering ditching my 16Gb Nexus7 for something larger, but as you said the form factor and portability is pretty cool... You mention 4.2.1 being buggy - in what way ? I've not noticed anything overt yet.
just out of curiousity. did you guys go with the 16 or 32? I have a 16 now that I havent filled up, mostly because i dont leave all my games on it at the same time. With the N7 the 32 seemed to do better in performance when closer to being filled.

All depends on your tab usage. I don't store anything on my tab other than PDFs and pictures taken with the tab camera. So 16 GB and a $100 saved is money saved as I don't see an extra 16 GB worth the price difference. But if you have a lot of apps and games and what not of are just plain weird to use the tab as an mp3 repository then 32 should be a minimum.

I'm browsing around here contemplating going to Staples to pick up a N10-32. Local store shows it in stock. Have a N7-16 and N4-16. Glad to see I'm not the only one crazy (stupid?) enough to contemplate all 3!

16gb version also could be easily filled with hd videos
Very interesting to see different opinions, having the ipad and 7 I find myself to always bring the 7 everywhere I go, the portability is hard to beat
Figured I'd ask here rather than start a new thread. I've already got an Acer A200 (which my girlfriend gave back to me after she got a HOX) and an N7. With the N7 and an N4, I feel a little redundant already, but adding the A200 in, it feels a little much. But! It doesn't bother me, and I reaaaaaaally want an N10..
my question is this: anyone who has an N10, N7, and N4 (or similarly sized phone), what do you use each for? Or do you find yourself using one more than the other? Looking more so for testimonials I suppose.
