I am the owner of a gnex, nex 7, and note 2. I am aware of the the huge difference in th screen resolution. But i can image the features with the s pen on a tablet must great. So i ask you... What would you do? Maybe i can get the apps working on the nexus after a little work. Thoughts?

I had s2, then gnex, then s3 & now a nexus 4. I had a note 10.1 WiFi +3g version (gt-n8000). My fiancé has a nexus 10. I thought I could get past the note's poor screen resolution, but in reality, I really couldn't. I looked at a nexus 4 screen & my fiancé's nexus 10 & then at my note & was pretty bothered by it all.
If you can get past the resolution, my next issue was software/updates. To be honest, having a nexus has spoiled me. I love vanilla android. I do not like manufacturer skins. I love knowing that even if my hardware is a bit out of date, I will still have the newest software... Not the case with the note. Again, these are minor issues that I hoped to not care about but learned that I did.
I have since sold my note in order to pay some deposits that are due for my upcoming wedding. I don't miss it. I have been tossing around picking up a used nexus 7 eventually, but over all the note 10.1 left me wanting more. I spent a nice chunk on it when it was first available & thought I would love it. Sold it for a nice bit of money, as well.
This turned out longer than i thought. Hope this helps.

Hi, sully112277, I am in the same boat as you, but without owning a previous android device. Here is a thread with helpful opinions, features, and a poll about the Nexus 10 and the GNote 10.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093177. Hope this helps, and hope you find the right device.
I bought the Note originally. I was moving from an iPad with the retina display. So the difference in resolution was just too much. So, I took it back and got the nexus 10. As much as I enjoyed the pen and related apps, the higher resolution was worth the trade off. I guess it really depends if you want the stylus. In my humble opinion, aside from the stylus, the Nexus is superior in every way.

It's gonna make your device feel 'newer'for longer, also open source devices has more Dev support

LOL, The resolution on the 10.1 is not bad...at all. Compared to a retina display or the Nexus 10 display, it's no contest. However, it's not bad on the Note 10.1.
note 10.1 hands down. i choose that one over the nexus 10 just got it last week and i LOVE it! i can do soo many more things on the note than i ever could on the nexus. sometimes..screen's just not everything and mind you the screen display colours and contrast levels on the note 10.1 is very much satisfying!
What killed it for me was getting the Note 10.1 1st then the others. I buy them all and see what I like. Not all at once. I just tried the new Toshiba SE with the Tegra 1.6. Was not faster then my note but almost dead even on allot. I understand its a cheap model. It had awful blacklight bleed, the note had very rich colors. Getting my Win 8 to see it.. never happen.
Asus/Nexus 10 awesome high rez.. For me you take the high rez away whats left. If I wanted high rez I would buy the new Ipad that have more apps/games that support it. And then trying to get a Asus/Nexus 10 with NO blacklightbleed.. should not be that hard. 1st Samsung perfect screen.
Just try them dont just take a reviews word. So Note hands down. Nexus is awesome but just vanilla. Its the silly things I like.. split keyboard, change font look, the white menus etc. Things I am sure you can ADD to the others and some you have to root 1st.
Thanks guys... I love getting the updates first like everyone else but half the time they are buggy and unsupported for months. When i made the switch from my gnex to note i went from 4.2 to 4.1 but surprisingly i didnt miss it at all. The note 2 is an absolutely amazing phone. Never happier with an android purchase since I started all the way back to the t-mob G1. I always unlock and root so i can edit the ui as please if i go for the note 10.
So far i think thats where I am leaning but my decision is not final yet. Thanks for all your advice again and lets not forget... Both are great devices. I am sure i will be happy with my purchase as I always am.

Samsung wins all around wether you have a Note 2 and Note 10.1 or the N10. Samsung made them all lol. I agree the Note 2 is an amazing phone and was one of the reason I chose the N10 over the Note 10.1. I use the N10 for mostly play and Note 2 for productive things. If I need to view a documnet or pdf tho the N10 handles that with no problem. Anything that requires serious work I use my 3 screens connected to my desktop pc as it's best for serious productivity. In the end each person will choose what works best for them in a given situation. Even though the N10 has a very nice screen the 10.1 has a pretty nice one also, even if it's a lower resolution.
My favorite thing to do so far with the N10 is to play emulated games with the controller it's a pretty nice experience. The android games run very well also, so basically I have a pretty big portable gaming device. The PS vita is like $300 plus with no killer games and a lower game resolution. You can basically by a tablet of any size of choosing and turned into a gaming device and still have the abilites to surf the net, stream movies, play music and other apps. My son has a few handheld portables and I after I gave his mother my samsung epic and he saw the games he didn't even wanna play with the portables much.
I do miss not having the extra space a full blown laptop would have but with OTG cable I'm able to hook up my usb thumbdrives or my 1tb external hard drive. So it all works out in the end. Plus I have 50gb dropbox storage and I haven't even used the google drive yet. Plus with my note 2 if I ever need to grab something real quick I can hotspot if no Wifi and download the items. Most likely I will already have the big stuff on a flash drive with me.

Sorry, but hardcore gaming on Android sucks. There are no killer games. And PS Vita running at lower res doesn't matter, its actually good because it can concentrate more on textures, reflections, water effects and so on.

So I'm using sprints gs2(epic touch) and a 7.7 galaxy tab samoled+(hk version)... and this Note is taunting me... I'd like to know if people who own the Note have not touched their tablet since.. be it android/ipad. It would be fantastic to eliminate a device and have one badass one. And with that 1280x800 I could imagine it .. but I'd hate to switch over and feel a need for a tablet... any thoughts would be great..

Back in the days when I had a Samsung 10.1 & SGS2, I sold the 10.1 once I upgraded to the N7000. Got the Prime once I was able to find the 64GB version. I use both but it depends where I'm at.
i use my prime while i am at the house.
I'm using my ipad alot less now that i have my Note. Still like the larger screen real estate of the ipad
sent from Galaxy Note using Tapatalk
I own a Lenovo ideapad Y560 and have a desktop. I found no need whatsoever for a tablet considering my laptop can do magnitudes more compared to a tablet. Buying a note just made the gap between smartphone to tablet to laptop almost non-existent.
Then again I expect tablets to perform almost on-par with lower to mid-end laptops. There's no reason a tablet (iPad 3 is like $700 here..) should be running Android or iOS other than ease of use when they could be running Linux or Windows. Why have a four core tablet that can't run my Guitar Pro 6 or have a full on media editor and have no S-PEN input device.
I imagine these dumb-tablets as I like to call them won't stay dumb for very long
Sold my ipad. The note is perfect. I don't feel the need for any tablets at all.

Still use both. Asus Transformer for books/games/productivity while I charge my Note at home hehe. On the road, its note all the way.

Same here lol. I watch flash videos sometimes.
thanks for the reply's... guess I'll hold out for a sprint variant.. If it was unanimous on the Note completely replacing your tablet then I'd probably still be on the fence or heading down to AT&T to sign up while my Epic touch 4g is still worth ~$300
Mostly for sitting down on the couch for a quick read.
I came from an LG P990 O2X and used my laptop.
I use the laptop a lot less now, almost everything is more convenient and natural with the Note.
When people see me with it and remark on it's size, I say it's just right, I wouldn't like to go back to the smaller screen.
It's also worth bearing in mind the Note has more pixels 1280 x 800 than the IPad 2 with 1024 x 768.

I have a Amaze 4g, Galaxy Note, HP Touchpad, and Ipad 1st gen, and i have to say, the iPad is neglected (except for my daughter watching Netflix). The touchpad is used in the car for the same purpose, Netflix.
So to answer your questions, yes the Note definitely covers the phone and the tablet world very well. I don't have to carry around a 10" tablet anymore.

I use my kindle fire for games cause it has a little more real-estate screen wise. But other then that and testing some of my development I don't use it that much. I think it is more cause the note has a constant connection where the Kindle I have to make sure I have wifi. That and the note is pretty awesome.
My Nook Tablet looks almost colorless after Note. I think that 7" tablets and e-readers suffer the most since they are close in size and inferior in resolution and color. I decided to use Nook for games and books primarily. So, my Note doesn't have any games since Nook has 933 mgb of free RAM and handles games better.
I keep hearing that this is not a bargain like the $199 Nexus 7 or $309 Nexus 4 but it really is.
First, you are getting the highest resolution mobile screen EVER. Second, the dual core A15 is the first of its kind if you don't include the chromebook and will not be used in most mobile devices until mid 2013 at least. Third, they managed to make it only 8.9mm thin, something that Apple couldn't do for the new ipad's. Four, it is one of the only 3 devices running Android 4.2. All that for $399.
It is a steal and in some ways even more of a bargain than the other two.
Ignore this post if you are aware, this is for the people that can't see why this is any different than all the other 10 inch Android tablets.
Sounds good but if no optimized apps for tablets I will wait on the fence still and see what happens if apps look the same on n10 as they do on my note 2 then what's the point.

I have the n7 and the n 10 ipad2 and just sold my galaxy tab 7.7.
Not all apps look better on the N 10. For example the Engadget app does not scale, yet.
Out of all the tablets i have owned the n7 is the best. However I am getting the note 2 on Monday and I suspect it will be my go to device, then the n 10, and finally my laptop.
Another couple of years and they will have finally have a tablet that can be used for work and play, not there yet.

The point is that the Nexus 10 does web browsing, the main use of a tablet for most, bigger and sharper and has the horse power to push it extremely smoothly.
No one says I have a cell phone, what is the point of a 55 inch TV, my apps look the same on it. Why would anyone say that here?
10 inch is the sweet spot like Steve Jobs said in my opinion. Laptop is too clunky and the Nexus 7 and Note are too small. That is my opinion.
To me, an android phone is the best (love my S3 to death). But for a tablet, iOS is the best. I decided to return my nexus 10 since Im not patient enough. I got frustrated with apps on the nexus 10. Apps do not look good and run well on the nexus for now (this will be fixed, of course). But apps for ipad are also much better. ALso never think more pixels are better. WHat matters is its contrast and color accuracy. More pixels only drain the battery.

actually apps will look different on the nexus. specificly, they look worse since they haven't been optimized for high resolution screen .. yet
These arguments are pretty pointless. The notion that there must be a one great almighty device that trumps all seems silly to me. They're both great, just buy which one fits your needs. Its a tablet you use to watch YouTube, its not a big deal.

There is no denying that the iPad 4 is the best all-around tablet out there - build quality, performance, smoothness, tablications, battery life, everything is cool. I'm buying the Nexus 10 however because:
- better bang for the buck, the $100 it's cheaper can be use for the surely coming keyboard dock
- 16:10 - if you're not watching video content why even go for 10", the AR is a nice compromise between 16:9 and 4:3
- Adobe Flash - be honest, you'll miss live streaming and all the flash-based content, and it's not going away anytime soon, N10 runs it well
- extras: higher res screen, NFC, USB-OTG possibilities (media play without root), front-facing quality speakers, lighter weight

I don't agree with these two points. I bought a 10 inch tablet mainly for Web browsing. My note 2's size is just fine for videos but not for heavy web browsing.
And the Nexus 10 doesn't support Flash natively, you need to sideload the apk and download a third party browser. On the ipad there are pretty decent Flash-supporting browsers so it's a tie in this area.

Flash is a dying/dead platform on Android, so no big loss there IMHO. And the sooner it's gone completely, the better it is - Flash had its place but today it's just a bloated and very dangerous piece of crap software.
Of course you would make a thread like this lol. The moderators must be getting tired of closing these things...
Who gives a flying frack what the app "looks" like!! Does it do what it is supposed to do? Does it do it fast? Do movies look better than just about anything else out there? Is the sound great compared to most tablets? Is the resolution higher than ANY tablet out there?
Personally I am about getting **** done with a tablet, you can have your pretty apps, because I already got my **** done, and ran 17 more apps while you are "oooh'ing and ahh'ing" over how pretty your apps are...

you don't have to agree. personal opinions are just that. personal opinions. sideloading or not, i'm not quite sure of the difference. apps are apps. we all use them. so whether or not you have to install an app to get something to work the way we want it doesn't really take anything away from the devices we choose. some cars have ugly rims on them when we buy them from the dealer. we buy and put custom wheels on them. your "point" is moot at this point. but an ipad or buy a nexus 10. who cares.
Nexus 10 is so big it doesn't matter how thick it is within reason. Actually, I would've preferred they gave it a bigger battery for longer life unplugged.

i am really disappointed from google now! say what ever any body wants to say against me, i dont care cause reality aint gonna change!
i am a Samsung Boy... everything i own is from samsung (electronics ofcourse)
in my point of view, Google is a Huge company, Bigger than Apple. google can produce tablet oriented apps! YES IT CAN! i dont really dont find not more than like 10 apps that are ESPECIALLY made for my tablets! i owned Nexus 7, sold that cause of lag in browser, Now i own NOTE 10.1!
an Excellent Tablet! but No Apps!
when i was in search of good tab i had to choose between iPad 3 and Note 10.1 and i went for Note 10.1 cause i love Google but i AGAIN got disappointed! not from the tablet, but the SOFTWARE SUPPORT AND APP AVAILABILITY!
i am thinking of getting Nexus 10 but i am keeping my self away from the idea of getting it cause of app support!
mark my words, THERE WILL BE NO APPS FOR NEXUS 10 AT LEAST NOT FOR THE NEXT 3 TO 4 MONTHS!
Apple is only better in APP support and software support than google! GOOGLE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! WHEN U CAN ACTIVATE MILLIONS OF DEVICES EVERY DAY WHY NOT THE ABILITY TO SUPPORT THEM! DONT TELL ME ITS DIFFICULT FOR GOOGLE! ITS A BILLIONS OF $$ COMPANY!! AND HECK IT HAS SUPPORT OF MONSTER COMPANIES LIKE SAMSUNG, LG, HTC AND OTHERS.....!!!
google is destroying its image in minds of customers like me, who change their gadgets very frequently!
accept it or not dude! u can not deny the reality! SMARTPHONES IS ANDROID THING NOW, TABLETS ARE APPLE THING NOW... and only for the fact of no app and software support!

On the INTERNET, Flash is by far the most popular video format... and until HTML5 has agreed on a format that Chrome Firefox IE Safari Opera etc can agree on, flash video is still the choice for many web designers. If you are interested in seeing that content, you can either get flash a capable browser, or not see the video... crap or not.
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...?

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.

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.

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

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.

I am a uni student and I need a nice tablet to make notes, record lectures, and read documents with. I am into games too but barely have time to play. I want something that will be useful two years from now. I am big on performance and graphics.
With no potential to attach a keyboard, is it really worth the money for a student ? How long will it take before this becomes out dated ?

You can attach a keyboard. Buy a bluetooth keyboard. It'll hook right up in less than a minute.
I can't guarantee the quality of this thing, but bluetooth keyboard cases exist.

Nice...I hope by DEC 26 I'll be able to get it in Toronto.
Let's say I have a document open is it easy to highlight with my fingers ? Nexus 7 is attractive but with 1gb of Ram I just can't ponder it. And battery life ? Decent ?

e Nexus 7 is a powerful enough device with 1gb RAM which only sounds insufficient due to the 2gb devices that have come out(nexus 10). You could also consider the Asus Transformer series as you can get a keyboard dock with a built in battery and a full sized USB port, also a micro SD card slot but you won't get the vanilla android experience and timely updates like you will on the Nexus. It depends on what you prefer. Hope that helped.

Most tablets don't have specific keyboard attachments made by the manufacturer; Asus is the exception, if you think you need a keyboard, check out the Transformer series of tablets. I owned an Asus Tf700 tablet w/ the keyboard dock and IMO found the keyboard too small for accurate/quick typing. Instead, I use a Wacom Bamboo stylus and digitally "handwrite" my notes using two apps; 7Notes & Evernote. 7Notes is a keyboard replacement for handwriting text and actively converts your writing to typed text; in combo w/ Evernote, I love it. At the end of the day I have clean, organized & typed notes saved in the cloud on my Evernote account.
Me? I have a laptop w/ normal sized keyboard for typing; I bought my tablet for just that..a tablet lol.
My reasons for getting the N10:
- Pure Google/Android experience & almost instant updates. (2 yrs use is absolutely achievable w/ a Nexus device)
- Great specs & design doesn't look anything like an iPad + the display is gorgeous.
- And of course school; this includes taking notes as I'm also a college student.
Also, Highlighting text is pretty straight forward & easy for copy/paste actions.
I said to 1gb referring to the nexus 7. And using Bluetooth as a keyboard would kill battery. I'm on my phone will get to my desktop soon and research. I love the bonus power from the Asus tho.

I have the exact same requirement too. I plan on reading docs, books, making notes and watch movies/tv shows occasionally. I plan on getting the nexus 10 seeing as it has the best screen res amongst all android tablets, thereby making reading books like harrisons medicine more convenient.
That being said, I will probably sell the N10 and order a Note 10.1 2 with a full HD display the moment it becomes available(at some point in the future). From what I've seen, the productivity on a note is unparallelled amongst android tabs.

Waiting game is hard, but be strong and wait till CES comes around. For a student, having a Wacom stylus is a must and N10 simply doesn't fit the bill. Like a previous poster said, lets hope they release higher-res followup to the Note.
May be just may be ASUS will wake up and add stylus to the Transformer line (TF1000 ?
The jury is out on Windows 8 RT - it is DOA ... darn shame, as MS Note is the best note taking app ever, period. Sammy has 2 Windows 8 tablet out (Ativs) out, but too many folx are complaining about quirky stylus, battery life doesn't even come close to android tablets or Ipad ... Surface Pro will suffer from the same short @ss battery life.
It is sad state of affairs in the tablet market, as far as students are concerned ... will probably take another year for the ultimate tablet to emerge.

Exactly..I plan on buying the N10 when I go to the US in Janary. I won't be taking it if there is an announcement of a new Note at CES(which is unlikely, considering its only been a couple of months since they brought out the Note).

Battery life is fantastic. And in regards to "not enough apps for tablets", there's really nothing Google can do about that. That's up to app developers, not Google.
Not to mention, that Android tablets never reeall had the issues other tablets had.. most scale perfectly, and you wouldn't know they aren't for tablets (this goes for things like many games, web browsers, office aps, etc) . Those that do have problems are normally quick to get updates... frankly, the the issue is really overrated ..
I'm a student and I have been using it to study, although not take notes. I would not recommend this for taking notes because of the lack of the palm guard. Makes it very difficult and awkward to take notes on. As other posters have said, get the Galaxy Note 10.1 if you would like to take notes seriously. However, the Note 10.1 I ultimately decided against because the screen resolution got terrible reviews and I am huge on that, also the vanilla Android experience was too much for me to say no to. I really enjoy my Nexus 10 so far, and can get over the fact that there is no palm guard. Its a great device for the price overall

I think I'm going to wait then.. since its only good for studying. No network connectivity is an issue too since most of the apps I use need the net. No stylus.. Sucks the N7 only has 1gb of Ram which means lag. No tab for me then.. at least for now. Screen reviews are amazing tho ...speed and screen size suggest longevity. Bluetooth keyboard is attractive but I'm not sold. No SD, and No Network. Hard to spend $400 plus on it.

If you don't think the N10 is worth $400, you have a rude awakening coming when you see how much comparable tablets are in the marketplace, especially ones with stylus support out of the box!

Is definitely hard to beat for many aspects but this tablet just isn't right for you, I can respect that although you may ultimately be displeased with other tablets for reasons that the nexus 10 excels in. I do think you ought to look into the note 10.1 if you are most concerned about note taking. Good luck finding the right gadget sir or madam

Considering selling my nexus 7 16gb to glyde.com since there willing to give me $147 and some change. Not a bad loss on it considering its now selling new for $200.
My current situation is I have a note 2 which I love and a nexus 7 at home to use. It is a noticeable jump, but still not that crazy of a jump. The new android version on the nexus 7 is a bit annoying, hate the newer style lock screen and some lag since updating.
What should I know about making the jump? Is there any others that came from a nexus 7? What's your feelings on the switch?

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 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

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.

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.
