The 7 made me give up the phone!

[LOVE ME PLEASE]

Tablets alone has better specs then the phone. With the Nexus 7 coming in at 199$ the phone business was dead on arrival, at least for me. I'm a unlocked kind of guy and I would at times spend nearly 800$ for a unlocked device! That's until I started to pay great attention to the tablet business. Now, I couldn't care less; or should I say, I couldn't kinda care less about the smart phone hype now that the Nexus 7 just dropped the 199$ high end spec bomb in the tech world, I think that I will be sticking with my Nexus S and my G Nexus for the next five years if Google keep dropping 199$ bombs on the tech world with high end specs the Nexus 7. So, what do you guys think?

(Edit) Update! Typo fixed!

I think the phrase you misused multiple times is supposed to be "couldn't care less" or else this whole post is rather pointless.

But yeah my galaxy nexus battery life has improved a lot since getting my 7

Same here. Just picked up my Nexus 7 this past Thursday and I've rarely put it down since then. My Galaxy S II lasted well over 30 hours this weekend since it was only used for texting and well....talking

I agree, though I think I will keep my Nexus S for another 2 years max, not 5 years.

Get the program Tablet Talk, which can enable texting directly from the Nexus 7 thru your phone, and it will be one less thing to use the phone for.

I to hardly ever use my phone . But i have had a tablet since the launch of the acer a500. Thou it was a bit to large to use out and about. With the nexus 7 it stays by my side at all times. I have even flashed my phone back to a close to stock environment.I use it basically for a modem for my tablet. But of course calls on it is still better then a app such as tablet talk. Which does work quite well.

So with this being a wifi only device you cant ditch your phone completely unless maybe you get one of those MIFI type devices. Then you will be packing around a huge phablet phone . I think seeing people make calls on the Note looks quite silly. But its just me. The Nexus 7 Paired with a nice smart phone is a Absolute near perfect Solution for mobile communications . For me anyway.

I do really enjoy the nexus tablet. Thou i do wish it had sd card slot.Bad decision on googles part to leave it out... Thou i do know and understand there reasons behind it... CLOUD THIS CLOUD THAT.. i think there mind is cloudy as to what Consumers really want... we want our content on our device.. Not floating in the clouds forcing us to use more data from our carriers or Hunting for a wifi hot spot ...

just my observation of the whole nexus experience... Good Luck with your phablet....

Tablet Talk lets you choose between WiFi or Bluetooth. i personally use WiFi just because that provided a wider range. and yea, the app has to run on both devices. it will detect if it's running on a phone, to broadcast the "request". and then it will detect if it's on the tablet to connect to that request.

as a bonus, if you have a headset paired to your tablet, Tablet Talk can even answer phone calls for you. or it says it can. i don't have a bluetooth headset to test this on.

This works for me but not perfect.. I Have Motorola HD.9 bluetooth headset.

Yeah. When i bought my first tablet I was thinking I'm never gonna use this...well I was wrong i bought the galaxy tab 10.1 when it came out it was an OK tablet (I paid too much I know) I sold it after a few months and now I have purchased the. N7 and I really love it its the best tablet experience I've ever had.

Thanks for sharing. My concern still with if wifi is turned on all the time, will it prevent n7 from entering deep sleep and squeeze all the juice?

Thre is always a trade off to have function versus battery life. Thou there is a thread on here as to how to tether using Bluetooth.I Have tried it and it does work..

the foxfi app from the android market will help you with this. it has instructions in the app itself if i remember right. I have wiped my nexus since then and not put it back.

I definitely use my N7 more than I use my HTC Rezound but I didn't ditch it 100% because my Nexus only has 8gb whereas my Rezound has 48gb and it's kind of a pain to carry around two devices. I mostly just use my Nexus when I'm at home and my Rezound is my mobile device that comes with me everywhere.

Always using my n7 nowadays. I did WiFi tether it to my one x the other day and it destroyed my one x battery in about 10 hours. But I find that Bluetooth tethering drops out after a while.

Also, tablet talk is great

10 hours? Try half! Or like 7
But I don't think bluetooth over wifi doesn't matter too much in terms of power, it's mainly the antenna + bad 3g reception for me.

Just got my Nexus 7..Loving this Beast Machine..My other Nexus devices will go on vacation except to tether with it ...

Wow, awesome! I knew something like this had to exist. Thanks so much. I've already got it up and running perfectly at work. I have my Nexus 7 tethered to my phone via WiFi for internet and through Bluetooth using this app. Poor Galaxy is now demoted to just a hotspot that rarely gets used to talk to folks .
