Hi,
I have been planning on buying the Nexus 7 since a long time. First I wanted the 8GB model, but those problems with charging and screen lift kept me from getting it. When I heard about an upcoming 32GB edition, I was hoping that it would result in a whole new production batch, with those problems being a past thing.
It is really important to know wether those problems are still present, cause I would buy the 3G model from the Play Store, but I will soon leave the US for a long time, so if something was wrong with the tablet, I would be really screwed! Since I have no 3G device, I have to go with that one, otherwise I would get the Wifi only model at a local retailer, where returning it wouldn't be a big deal. But with all that shipping it could take a while till I get a working device if something went wrong, especially since some people said that even their fourth replacement still had issues. And if it would happen while I'm in Germany - well, like I said above, I would be screwed since there would be no way to get it repaired by Asus.
I really want the 3G model, but I don't wanna risk losing 300$! Reports of problems have become rare now, but just today I saw that somebody had a screen lift with a 32GB model.
Can I risk it? Cause otherwise I would be stuck with 3 more months without any internet connection, since the Edge on my iPhone 3G is too slow in this area and I wouldn't get it again next month (and Edge is actually fast enough for me, but in this area I have almost no signal, and waiting 5 mi utes for one page is not worth 50 bucks!)
Oh, and sorry for that long story
