Does anyone have any problems with their tablets such as screen issues etc. other people who purchased from the stores were having?
Well then!
Well, that explains why the battery was dead. You think it got turned on while being packaged? And if so, why didn't the screen timeout? Hmm...
Did you ask them to setup your account for you? They may have opened the box to do that.
I would have thought the account setup would be similar to the way Amazon handles the Kindle, where the serial number of a device is associated with the account, but you never know. It could also be what is holding up some people's pre-orders (including mine). If they had told me that account setup would have added to the the order fulfillment time I would not have opted for it and would have typed my email and password in myself!
Just received my nexus 7 and I honestly think they shipped me a previously owned unit... The battery was above 90 percent and when powered on right out of the box, it displayed someone else's email account and told me to enter the password...
