Tab or Nexus?

[Downtown Taco]

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

I guess you use flash a lot...?

I ordered the N7 from bestbuy, it was dropped off 2 days later, rushed home after work. I felt like a fat kid who is about to get cake, but as soon as I took it out of the box I right away noticed that the whole left side of the screen was loose, took it back the next morning, all told had it for less than 12 hours. So I think I'm going to best buy tomorrow to pick up the tab2.

Well that was a quick and depressing story...

Im never dropping any more coin on a Nexus tablet. After swapping 5 of the dam things. Just not worth the hassle.

Side note... The Tab2 is on sale for $199 at some places. Get BestBuy to match!!

Well, I can tell you the Peel app (Infrared remote) sucks. It sucks more if you're rooted, because it won't work. I can't find any app that works with the infrared to make that feature worthwhile.

The MicroSD card slot might be important to you, but the 16GB capacity of the Nexus could fit a couple of films, some music, photos, apps, and have room for documents to spare.

TouchWIZ hogs RAM profusely. Thus, I rooted after one week. I went to a ROM with many bugs, but that wasn't anywhere near as annoying as Samsung's ROM.

It has a proprietary charging and data transfer cable, in a design that I constantly fear will break the receptacle off of the motherboard.

If I were getting an Android tablet today, I'd get a Nexus 7.

• Stock ROM is vanilla.
• Gets great custom ROMs because it's a reference device.
• Gets the latest updates first. Samsung? Idk, 2 months from now?
• Quad-core.
• Micro USB.
• NFC 'NufF Conversed(said).

They both seem to have their advantages and disadvantages.

That's the bottom line; they are both fine and either one might be better depending on one's needs.

No expandable storage. Absolute dealbreaker.

I am having this exact dilemma here in the UK.....

Leaning towards the Tab as love the white finish and feel of it, the back of the N7 is a little toy like to me, rear camera is good as i use ebay to sell stuff quite alot so would need this, memory card is always a plus to fill the thing with entertainment.

I do like that the N7 has JB and is vanilla......but im hoping that the Tab2 will soon receive JB...im patient and can wait.

Galaxy tab all the way.... the lack of expandable memory on the nexus 7 kinda made my choice easy...

I'm a Samsung fanboy and I was going to buy a tab2 7" but after the nexus came out I'm holding my purchase

But after reading only good things about the gtap2 and bad things (hardware) de about the nexus I think I made my ming and will get the tab2.

The fact that the Nexus doesn't have a rear camera or SD slot doesn't sit well with me.

However the Nexus does that quad-core running under the hood. Although it seems like that's ALL it got going for it.

All of a sudden, I'm torn.

The expandable memory thing was easy for me also.

I have 4 gigs left after apps. This is good. I installed my memory card, loaded up the tab 2 for a road trip, I used up 12 Gigs in HD movies and music.

The no SD card was the coffin nail for me. I also don't see how the Tab 2 is slow, sluggish, or anything else negative. I am streaming movies, playing movies from my SD card, multitasking, everything, no hiccups.

I wasn't in the market for a new tab but this bundled offering made it a must buy for me. I've lost count of how many post I've read here and other forums in which people are saying the clear choice is the Nexus 7......Not for me.

Just the thought of expandable memory will always be #1 in my book. That thought will change if/when ALL manufacturers decide to stop including expandable storage. Along with my tab I grabbed 2 32GB SD cards--one for tab; other for phone.

Seems prices lower the closer it is to back to school which makes buying gadgets all that much more fun.

Galaxy Tab is more funtional than Nexus due to sd-card slot, rear facing camera and ir blaster. I would not consider nexus without sd-card slot. 16 Gb is nothing. Now I have 64Gb playbook and half of storage is long gone

The Tab 2 7 now has a docking station and a docking keyboard specifically for it.. the Nexas does not the docking station has stereo out capability so while you have it charging you can also play music. the keyboard is really nice.. Best Buy has a special this week you can get the dock for free... and they also have a "student" special..however you don't have to be a student to get it.. it has a keyboard and a USB adaptor with an sd card all for the same price as a tab by itself.. 249... nice.. the NEXUs has none of these....

I've been looking at both for awhile now and this isn't helping any. Lol they both have there good and bad points. I might just wait and see what comes out next.
