If you have both a smartphone and tablet, I'm curious how you break down which device to use for which function. Do you use 1 more than the other or do you use both equally? What kind of tasks do you use each one for?
 
My smartphone has been pretty much reduced to only phonecalls nowadays unless I can't take my N7 out with me, then it's good to have a 'fallback' option.

Before I got the tablet I did everything on my iPhone. I haven't had a laptop for a few years and I don't want to sit at my desktop machine, so it had even become my normal medium for web browsing, email, etc. Now I use the phone for calls, quick texting, and in the car for navigation and music (because I have a dashboard mount and I can control it from the car stereo over USB). Everything else I do on the tablet. With a Bluetooth keyboard it has essentially become a laptop; I do document creation and editing at the coffeeshop for example. Then I take it out of the case and hold it like a book when I want to read.

Edit: I'm also finding the n7 surprisingly good for watching Netflix. I don't have cable and only have a TV in one room, and the TV just does Netflix, DVDs and video games. If I want to watch anywhere else in the house (or out of the house) the tablet is fine. The screen on the iPhone -- even the iPhone 5 -- was too small to bother. If I had thought about this I might have bought the n10 instead; it would be better. Also, it's not bad for reading comics/manga, but I'm not a fanatic about that and some people might find it too small.
