What made YOU choose Nexus 7

[ArmorD]

I broke the screen of my S2 and had to use an iPhone 4S for a month. I thought all the ios hate was something we android users had developed during the years but now I understand. Man that thing sucks in every possible way and it is definitely not smooth(in my experience anyway). Also I get no control over the thing whatsoever without jailbreaking it. I missed Android SO much.

So I bought N7 yesterday. This is my toy, I have an ancient Samsung flip phone as my actual phone. This is fast and the form factor is great. Also cheap as hell, which was the ultimate reason I bought this instead of say Note 10.1.

I love this thing, unlocked and rooted it after hour of purchase.

Had a Transformer 1. Wanted to upgrade to Transformer TF300. Wanted 7". A few months later, a dream come true.

Well, at the time, it was between the N7 w/32GB for $250 or the Galaxy Tab w 8GB for $200. Choice seemed easy..

For me its mainly because I couldn't find a tablet with similar specs in a 7in form factor anywhere near the price point. Beyond that I like to 'play' with it in that I flash roms and customize it. Nexus is a breeze to work with. Being a nexus, it was also a good bet to have good accessory support. Ifixit gave it a really good score on ease of repairs. The no SD didn't bother me because cm10.1 has native otg support.

My story of how I ended up with the N7 is this...

My first tablet was a Zenithink C71 (7", WVGA, 900 mhz A9, too slow)

Then I got a Ainol Crystal (7", WSVGA, Dual Core A9, performed good but screens failed)

Couldn't take the cheap tablets anymore. Got the real deal, happily ever after.

- Price : Got it for AUD$280, version, which was a bargain considering I'm living in Australia, where technology prices are sky high compared to other parts of the world.

- Support : It's a Nexus, so I guess no need for further explaination here.

- Android : Customisability. I just love tweaking and changing stuff to my liking. On Paranoid Android and more than happy.

- Form factor : Had the Asus Transformer Prime before and despite being lightweight and the excellent external keyboard, I couldn't bear having a 10 inch screen in my hand for an extended period of time as it was quite uncomfortable. 7 inch is perfect to my liking. I can hold the Nexus one handed reading books lying down in my bed, which is something quite impossible to do with any 10 inch tab as it would tends to fall on my face, which did happen with my Prime

Size, and price

Having a A500 for a year, I never found the ten inch form factor comfortable. Since this was 250 made the choice to upgrade even easier.

 

[alicarbovader]

Well I wanted something that could be one inch less than m d&ck

I had it with Motorola and Verizon stuff on my DroidX.
I wanted pure Android on a popular tablet (i.e. large user base) that I could easily root to do normal things like take proper backups and screenshots.
What a concept! Lol!

Love For Nexus

I just wanted stock Android on a large screen bundled with high end specs with a moderate price tag
All I found was nexus 7 3g
Still disappointed that it can't make gsm calls

 

[TheWickerman_kv]

I just wanted tablet with good screen specifications, at least 1Gb and with no SIM capatibilites... and i think i didnz made mistake

 

[Captivate-me]

The fact that I paid $0 for my Nexus 7 is the first and foremost reason why I have it
This is my first tablet. I had a choice b/t the Nexus and the Kindle Fire HD. I didn't know much about Nexus, b/c this is my first Nexus product. But I learned from my research that I will get a pure Google experience with Nexus, so the choice for me was easy.
