The only android devices you should consider.

Snazzy

Dan519 · Oct 29, 2012

not convinced by the phone yet. LG.....hmm, have to gave a look at one. 10 inch Tablet sounds impressive.

Tom · Oct 29, 2012

Bit weird it not having LTE. Tablet looks nice, still no bloody apps for it.

Darren S · Oct 29, 2012

I can't put a finger on it, but I have no interest in these devices at all.

Don't know why?

D.

StevenMc29 · Oct 29, 2012

When's the 10 out and how much?!

jam. · Oct 29, 2012

Well, I've just become interested in android for the first time ever.

StevenMc29 · Oct 29, 2012

Just seen that is 319 and 389.

Just ordered a Nexus 7 16GB. What to do

still a good device, hope it was cheap (£160ish now)

They look awesome. No LTE is very off putting.

Samsung is still winning for me.

StevenMc29 · Oct 29, 2012

£170 with a £10 voucher for PC World.

I'm utterly underwhelmed by any new phones at the moment. Not due an upgrade for a few months yet though.

Pretty unexcited by 10 inch~ tablets carrying pricetags well over laptop money without the functionality to be a full replacement too. Probably going to end up with a Dell Latitude 10 with Windows 8 pro at this rate.

decent deal.

I don't see the point in LTE anyway (at this point in history), certainly not for the life of these devices anyway. Today's batch of LTE devices will be like dinosaurs by the time there's a decent countrywide service.

At no point have I ever thought "3G" is slow, even tethering.

The only possible use for LTE on a mobile phone is for tethering for fast downloads and that's pretty much pointless as you'd eat through your allowance in no time.

No loss for me.

Nexus 10 is the one I'll be keeping an eye on out of those.

Cookie · Oct 29, 2012

I want all of them.

richy22 · Oct 29, 2012

Being a relative newb to these can you get a case for a nexus that has keyboard built in? Has anyone used them and are they any good??

Ex-User (19928) · Oct 30, 2012

Nexus 4 being 279 quid for the 16gb version....

Sounds too good to be true.

Tom · Oct 30, 2012

Indeed it does.

sneeks · Oct 30, 2012

I could be tempted to buy the Nexus 4 at £279

Tom · Oct 30, 2012

The day I've had with my iPhone I'm tempted myself.

sneeks · Oct 30, 2012

Apple are having more iMessage issues tonight, driving me mad.

Also considering the 32gb Nexus 7 as I have £42.50 worth of Tesco vouchers I could do with spending.

Ex-User (19928) · Oct 30, 2012

iMessage issues aren't exactly a deal breaker, just send via text.

The features on that Nexus do look really nice, I'm tempted to just buy one and if I don't like it give it to a family member for christmas. Wireless charging ffs!

Tom · Oct 30, 2012

It's not just iMessage. Thankfully outages are rare.

sn00p · Oct 31, 2012

Google have given apple a massive problem.

When apple were so far ahead of the competition with phones they could justify the premium price tag, but this hardware coupled with all the iterations in software up to jellybean have shrunk that difference.

Same with the iPad to be honest, the nexus 7 was brilliant at £199 for the 16GB, now it's £159 I personally think you'd have to be on day release from the asylum to buy the iPad mini over it.

My only gripe with the nexus 10 styling is that I wish they'd kept the nexus 7 styling on it, I think the nexus 7 looks and feels really good, would have been nice to maintain the consistency.

If I were google I'd have kept the 8GB nexus 7 in the market but dropped it to £99 (even if it meant taking a hit on it) and then given Apple an even bigger issue to think about.

Do it, you wont be disappointed - the nexus 7 is brilliant.

Tempted to sell the S3 for the Nexus 4. Spec and price is awesome!

The S3 is worth more on mobile selling sites at the moment too.

Thinking this myself! My S3 is amazing and only a month old but having a pure Android phone is so tempting right now.

Tom · Oct 31, 2012

Would be a smart move.

Ex-User (19928) · Oct 31, 2012

Is the Nexus 7 big enough to use Google docs efficiently? And can you use a keyboard with it?

Tom · Oct 31, 2012

Probably not, would accept a bluetooth keyboard, not sure it supports USB in.

sn00p · Oct 31, 2012

It supports USB OTG which means it has Host and Device support, it's just a cabling issue (hardware wise).

Software wise, no idea if a stock Nexus 7 will support a HID device connected to the OTG port, maybe require rooting to enable the functionality.

Hmm, I'll wait for it to release and see some reviews (and have a play if I can) and make a decision then.

Addicted · Oct 31, 2012

Nice specs for the money, its good to see someone finally lowering the prices but keeping the specs high

richy22 · Oct 31, 2012

I bought a Nexus 7 yesterday. 32gb Version.

I like it at the minute although having usual Android issues with Album art and having to do all the clear data etc and reboot to get them showing.

BigDaveRotary · Oct 31, 2012

Waiting on the reviews of the Nexus 10 and then I will probably take the plunge and get one!

Munson · Oct 31, 2012

Hmmm. For now, I want to keep my computer and phone in the Apple ecosystem, but tablets are fair game for me. I only really use my iPad for messing about on the internet and playing with some apps. It doesn't need to be plugged into Apple HQ.

Serial considering a Nexus 10 instead of the iPad 4.

Haha! Indeed mate. It's like Jobs' reality distortion field has been lifted. Kinda like that bit at the end of I-Robot?

In all seriousness I still love Apple products, and have no desire to stray away for my computing and cell phone needs, but a tablet is a tablet. I don't need it to do any of the things that my computer or phone do. It just has to connect to the internet and have an awesome screen. Gonna wait until I get my hands on one before making a decision.

guysy · Oct 31, 2012

I like the look of the Nexus 10, I'm still yet to own any type of iPad, I keep having more important things to pay for cropping up.

But this looks decent for browsing the web at work etc.
