Tab or Nexus?

[Downtown Taco]

That is so weird. How does that happen?

I decided to go with the Tab because I realized I only wanted the Nexus 7 for Jelly Bean. The Tab has a back camera that does 720p video, and that sold me. Well, that, and the wait for the Nexus 7. I haven't been able to put it down since I got it, and use my laptop a lot less. Nothing like my Nook Color where I never used it and sold it to a friend. I don't see much lag at all.

Smart move considering all the issues with the Nexus 7.

With what I went through, Id say a person wanting a Nexus 7 has about a 60/40 change of getting a device that halfway put together right. Tab2 is alot more solid than the Nexus's I got ahold of. That and I didnt have to make a sacrifice and accept a unit that was subpar just because I didnt want to hassle with sending it back or be embarrassed to admit on the internet that my Nexus was a turd.

I was wanting to pick up a Nexus 7 but the 60/40 chance of getting a good one isn't good enough odds for me to pull the trigger. I think I will hold out and see what comes out around the holidays.

Yes. I don't want to buy something that isn't properly built, and I hear the Tab 2 is very well built.

How is performance on your custom rom?

i bought the tab2 7 about a month ago. i had done pretty good at the local casino and decided i wanted a tablet (strange as i never cared to have one before lol) i asked a friend of mine who is (to me) my go to guy for tech stuff. he said he would wait on the nexus 7. i started reading about it and decided i wanted the sd card slot.

i told him that and he steered me towards the the tab 2 7, i did a lot of reading and decided it would be a good "first tablet". went to best buy and picked one up

i have loved it since day one! after about a week i got the update to 4.0.4 and that seemed to make it even nicer.

i am not someone who gets into rooting stuff or clocking speed.. what i wanted was something to play on when i didnt want to pull out my laptop, and wanted a little bigger screen to play on than my phone (razr maxx).

for me the tab 2 is all i need, i can put the ext card in my laptop and transfer music or whatever over easily, and the screen is more than acceptable when it comes to looking at pics i keep stored or watching videos.

the ONLY drawback to the tab2 7 is the damn plug in is propriatery so i cant just go buy an extra cord which makes me mad cause i always try to keep an extra cord around just in case!!

if your like me and just play on the tablet, either one will prob do well, but i have no reason to want to trade off my samsung tab2 7..

just my opinion

I seen in the Walmart ad that they have the tab for $249 and you get a $50 gift card. Is this enough of a reason to pick it over the nexus 7? I'd rather have the nexus but just can't bring myself to take a chance on something that has so many issues/defects out of the box. Don't feel like playing the return/exchange game to try and get a good one. Is it true that the tab is getting jelly bean the second week of August? I know the nexus has a better screen and processor, but I think I could give those things up for better build quality.

Youll be better off opting for the Tab2. I tried the Nexus a handful of times and got crap each time. Gave up and got the Tab2 for my wife. Runs awesome for what it is. I dont know if you have a Micro Center where you live. But they advertised the Tab2 7.0 for $199 brand new. Eithey way, I dont regret the purchase one bit after what I went through with that dam Nexus. I saw the rumor about JB too, hope its true!

I don't have a Micro Center where I live but I was gonna pick it up at Nebraska Furniture Mart and have them price match.

Well I went to pick up a tab today and they didn't have any in stock, guess I'll have to order one online.

Best Buy??

The Nexus does not have Adobe Flash and that's a deal breaker for me.
