I recently purchased a Nexus 7 tablet for my son for Christmas and would love to have my own so I'm not forced to steal his.

Last Android device I bought is my current phone, the Cherry Mobile Titan, which is a rebranded version of Konka W990. Lesser known manufacturer, but the specs are still top-notch. I'm loving it.
The last purchased was a 32GB WiFi nexus from a local reatailer after hunting for weeks to get my hands on one. But after Finally getting my hands on one this Tuesday i have parted with my beloved N7 already, and here is why (since it seems silly to be entering in to get another N7 when i just bought one right? But seriously it all makes sense.)
My father has been sick for awhile, and when i went over to visit him two days ago i took my n7 (all decked out with CDX and my customization) over to show him since i cant keep my mouth shut about my nexi (n4 + n7). He was laying in bed, coughing lightly, shivering under the blankets as i walked into the sweltering room. Seeing that he was curled up i started to leave but he croaked my name and said it was ok. I said i had just come to show him my new tablet but it could wait until he was feeling better. He said no that was silly he wanted to see my new toy. So i handed it to him and showed him how to turn it on and unlock it. My Father is a simple man, with a 8 year old desktop, and a 7 year old phone(hes worn the numbers off the keypad, on a nokia flip phone). He has never been into technology, but the sparkle in his eyes when i showed him the device was pure child on Christmas morning. After showing him the Verizon FIOS app and how one could keep track of all the ESPN broadcast, check scores, stream stuff, and a small handful of other cool things he was sitting upright for the first time in literally days, awkwardly poking around the screen. After chatting with him for a few minutes he started to loose steam, so i told him that he should get some rest. his response: "But this is soooooo RAD!" The idea that he could watch the game right there in his bed was mindblowing. So i Told him that he didnt have to worry about getting to use the tablet right now, Because it was his tablet. I havent seen him smile that hard since he married my mother
I spoke with him today after hes had a day to play with it, and after a couple (2) hours or so of questions he seemed to have a solid grasp of the device, and thanked me again. My mother said he was complaining to her that his cheeks hurt from smiling so much.
So thats the last android device i purchased, I was going to buy another N7, but low and behold they are out, and i there isnt even a N10 for me to spend money i shouldnt spend on.
Needless to say i would be SUPER STOKED if you all could hook me up with a n7 so i can add my happiness to the nexussphere, and give the card to my dad so he can play with some of the paid apps out there.
Until then im back to using my S3 for mini tablet duties!
As always AC Rocks!
And yes Phil, Your a very handsome man

Last android was a evo design 4g on sprint, good phone on gingerbread, bad on ICS terrible battery life, before that htc evo 4g.
I never had a android tablet before. curious as to what it can do.

My awesome Verizon Galaxy Note 2! I'll probably never have a tattoo (I'm 42) so I display the Big Red tramp stamp with wistful longing and pride.

The Nexus Q is the last device I bought, and I gotta say I am in the minority and am pretty happy with it. Jerry and Phil are absolutely right, this thing may not do a lot, but what it does do, it does pretty damn well.
My first and only Android device is the Galaxy Note II. I'd love to try Android on a larger screen, say 7 inches.
