Maybe you can tell us what you want to do with it and then we can make recommendations.

If your looking for games, there's a dedicated thread in the apps and themes section. There's also a list of the best free games for the N7.
I can post links to them if you want

BTW, no worries. Just glad I could help someone, my good deed for the day

Once again thanks very much.

One thing I wanted to ask is my n7 has been shipped today but how do I know if im getting a white or black one? Im really excited for it to arrive

You get a black (or brown - what ever it is..) one, because the white backcover was only a special edition for the I/O presentation.
The most of the reviewed N7's are withe because only the guys at the I/O got them.

 

[Jon565G]

It will be the black version, they stopped making the brown version a bit ago. If i read correctly, I don't think the brown ones were actually assembled by ASUS, not too sure about that. (I got the brown one from Tesco last month, didn't know it was brown until it was mentioned on here and I looked on the box )
EDIT: Like flomitdreio said above, you won't get a white version.

I have received mine today but guess what. No charger, open seal, fingerprints all over the screen

Really unlucky :crying:, I take it that your sending it back? If you get a replacement and there are fingerprints on the screen and the seal is open it might just have been quality control checked by ASUS. Also, If you bought it from the Play Store, did you tick the option to have your details on it when you were paying for it? This might also be the reason for the broken seal and fingerprints.
It doesn't excuse there being no charger though...

 

[rkanwar]

I have called google theyve passed on the details to the department that deal with it and will apparently contact me in a couple of days. Honestly I wouldnt have minded but the fact theres no charger its outraging...

Theres wrapping for the plug. But no plug.

Now when I spoke to google first, the cssn number on the box was not in my name or for my details. The second time I called nothing of that was mentioned however, when I look on the delivery note I got the same serial number. Atm I cannot see any issues, lets see what google says.

So angry

Theres also scuffs on the box

An update. Just got off the phone again to google. The lady was I gotta say very helpful and told me my cssn number is actually linked to two devices somehow. So basically now the "specialist team" have this info and will get back to me in 48 hours I was told. I asked if the replacement is a new device or a refurb. She told me its a new device. I will apparently receive an RMA email which will contain a link to order my replacement

Do you guys think I should play around with this n7 until replacement??

Shame that you've got a bad experience with ASUS before you even turn the device on. If I were you, I'd use it until they send you a new one out. Just don't root it or do anything like that. You can always restore it to the factory settings. Can't do any harm to play around with a device that you've paid at least 169 quid for.
Looking at the box, I'd say that someone had it before you and have returned it for some reason. Mine didn't have any scuffs or scratches on it......

That was my exact thoughts. So hopefully ill hear from them soon. Lol I paid 199 quid for mine.lol so its like a lot of mony for me considering I dont earn much. I even applied for a credit card with a limit of 250 quid and well this what happens

I hope that you get a good one soon. It's really a top notch tablet when you get one that works well, especially for 200 quid. Good luck with getting a perfect one back. (mines got a bit of screen flicker, so I'm half and half to return it until I know that I'll get a good one back)
Just out of interest, does it say on the box that it's brown or back?

Hi i just checked my box and i can confirm that it says brown. When i get my replacement i will also then let you know what it says on the box.

Thanks for your reassurance guys. I cant wait to get my OWN new nexus 7 that i can use to full functionality and make it my own. I have been using this ome, though there is nothing wrong with the device i.e. screen lifts or flickers however i am loving it so far.

I recommend you Xda Premium

Just a quick update guys. Received an rma email not too long ago but cant process the replacement order due to insufficient funds. What shall I do guys? I have to wait two weeks till I get paid or can I call my credit card company that I used to buy my n7?

[Jon565G]

If I were you, I'd ring Google and tell them that your not getting paid until in two weeks, and that you'll have to sort it out then. There's no point messing around with the credit card when everything can be sorted easily in 2 weeks.
I suppose if everything if perfect with the device except from the charger, could you just ask them to send a charger out. You'll still keep the years warranty in case anything does go wrong.........
