I picked up a black one on Friday at my local Best Buy. Their website shows that several in the area have it in stock (Denver area) and they had 4 total at mine. I asked a guy on the floor to get one out of the cage for me and he knew which one I was referring to.
Anyway, I like it overall, the size is very nice and it seems incredibly well-made. It really is impressive how thin and light this thing is for an 8.3 inch screen. In fact it's kind of BS how little credit tech sites are giving it in reviews for its form factor. There's really no other Android tablet that can compete with it from a hardware perspective. With that said, I'm still evaluating if I want to keep it. The performance is snappy, but this thing has a ton of bloatware on it and having owned a nexus 4 I'm kind of spoiled by stock android. But my biggest concern so far is battery life. This thing seems to drain really fast during actual use. I didn't perform any kind of controlled test on it, but last night I started from a 100% charge and dropped 11% in less than an hour of use and it seemed to be draining faster the longer I used it. This was mostly just while browsing with Chrome and the screen set to 65% brightness. I know that's maybe a bit high, but this thing's screen is pretty dark...seriously anything under 50% is just way too dark to use IMO. Anyway, yeah, the only other tablet I have is an original moto xoom wifi that has something like a 6000mah battery and that thing would last for days with regular use so maybe I just need to adjust my expectations, but I've heard people say good things about the Nexus 7 battery life so I was hoping I wouldn't be able to literally sit and watch the battery drain in real-time on this thing. If I take this back I will probably go for an N7 instead and just learn to live with the smaller screen.
How is the battery life so far for everyone else?
