anyone with nexus 7 8 gb feel dooped with 16 gb replacement!?

[Cast1]

Always supported Google products however I bought a nexus at the end of august. I wanted to support its flagship device- not sure it was a great idea because a month later the 16 GB model drops to 199 and I'm stuck with the 8 gb that I bought because I thought at that price point was awsome. Guess I'm being punished for supporting Google to Earlie' . And forget contacting them its impossible. I think the should do a buy back like best buy. I don't think I'll be supporting Google so quickly anymore

So it was awesome then, but now it's somehow not? You knew what you were buying, and decided it was worth it. Are manufacturers not allowed to advance their products?

Welcome to buying tech products.

I still like my 8 GB N7. IMO, it's still more than worth $200. Yes, I could have waited until now and had a 16GB N7 for the same price, but then I'd have missed out on all the fun I've had with it so far. To me, that's worth more than an extra 8GB that I'm not using anyway.

I agree my nexus 7 8gb is fine... I've had at least $50 of enjoyment form it in the last few months to say nothing of the $25.00 credit I've enjoyed!... Would I rather have 16 gb? sure, however, thats how high tech goes... early adopters tend to spend more or get less... but we have fun

So if you buy a 4 cyclinder car and its awesome and great gas mileage then a month later the car comes in a v8 with same gas mileage your not going to be disappointed? I think not. At the very least people should get an option to trade in or upgrade. Imo

 

[Cast1]

I agree. Totally forgot about my 25 dollar credit! Thanks for bringing that to my attention

Fact is, you knew what you were buying and felt it was a bargain. Yes, there's always a bit of buyer's remorse when the next cool thing comes out, but the only way to avoid that is to become Amish. You got a great deal on a great device, don't let the availability of a slightly better deal sour that for you. Shrug it off and enjoy your N7! The 8gb of difference doesn't change the user experience much, if at all. And if you find yourself needing the space, find someone to sell your N7 to and buy one with more space. Or wait another few months until the next next cool thing comes out that's an even better deal, and get that instead.

The analogy would be more like getting a v8 with a small trunk to carry your groceries and a few months later they sell one with a bigger trunk but the same v8. The 16gb N7 uses the same tegra 3 processor and same RAM. Your 8gb model is just as fast and smooth and can run all of the same apps. So no, I'm not disappointed. Storage gets cheaper all the time. You don't start calling sandisk to give you a free flash drive every time they sell one with more capacity do you?

Don't ask for opinions if you are going to attack those who don't feel the same as you.

Another "Wah-Wah Google did me wrong thread", YES!!! Just what we need.

Exactly. As soon as anything awesome someone (anyone) buys is superceded with a newer/different model it becomes not-awesome.

... Guess I'm being punished for supporting Google to Earlie' ...

Seems pretty clear that's what's going on. I'm guessing they were waiting for the right person to buy the 8GB before deprecating it in the name of a new 32GB unit. Why else would they have possibly done that? This is the first time I've ever heard of an early adapter paying more and/or getting less in the life cycle of a new product.

Yes, Goog marketing plan for sure. "Let's put out an 8GB model and see how many fools will buy it early, then we can stick it to them by lowering the 16GB model price to the same, BWAAAHAAA". "Fools! Fools they be!, HAHAHAHAHA!" - Google VP for Marketing-

Will get a bonus for Christmas for sure, LOL.
