What the hell is wrong with you people? It is not that big of a deal. For the record, I AM happy with my Nexus 7, I have ALWAYS been happy with my Nexus 7 and I do NOT regret getting it, and price was NOT the deciding factor. You people need to get a life instead of devoting so much time, putting words in someone’s mouth who you want to start an argument with. I am a strong supporter of Google, and yes, if the item I recently bought got discontinued and a new better model was put out to replace it I would be a little miffed, and again that is MY business. Your opinions on MY personal transactions with Google are irrelevant. Get over yourselves, and next time, at least try to know a person’s position before you decided to devote this antagonistic energy toward them. This is my last response to this nonsense.

What, you didn’t see it?

I’m shocked. I figured that would be the case, but there was no harm in trying…

“To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.”

I truly hope from now on everyone gives you what you want, when you want it. Sorry Google couldn’t cater to your every whim on *your* schedule. Must be a rough life, man.

I’m waiting…tell me where I said I felt entitled. 2 fools aren’t better than one.

“Tell me where I said I felt entitled”

Here you go:
“naturally, I would be a little miffed if they are offering what I wanted from the start, just 3 months after I got it.”

Translation: They should have had it when *I* wanted it!!

What more needs to be said? Oh, I’m pretty sure you’ll come up with something…

I bought a nexus one month ago and I am not happy with the news that they are going to sell the 32 GB model for the same price . This never happens when you by apple products . This is not the best way to establish a good relationship with new customers . That’s why people make queues to by apple products in the first day they arrive on the shops in one word , trust .

“I actually didn’t buy the Nexus 7 because I thought it was a good value, I bought the 16gb version because there wasn’t another option.”

Simple economics says you bought it because you thought it was good value, at the time… otherwise you wouldn’t have bought it. In hindsight (which is 20/20) you reconsidered… once the 32gb comes out any rational consumer would obviously rather have more memory for the same price.

I think its nice of Google not to jack the price up another $100 like so many other companies do. You can look at it another way. You paid the cost of 16gb less by receiving your device sooner than everyone who was waiting to see if a new model would come out – it’s the price an early adopter faces when buying any product.

“I always, from day one, wished they offered a higher capacity version. Even if it was more expensive.”

If this concern had outweighed your desire to have/use the product as an early adopter, you would have indeed waited for a model that satisfied your criteria.

In conclusion Google does not owe anyone anything for being an early adopter. People should be happy price isn’t going up instead of complaining just b/c a new model comes out. We should all be aware of how fast the tech world advances by now, this is the risk of being an early adopter in a fast-paced industry.

I bought the 16gb N7 a couple of months ago for $249. Google owes me a pony.

As it was mentioned .. 199.99 british pounds in $320 here in the U.S. so I wouldn’t go getting all pissed off until you see what the actual price will be here….

A credit toward a new device like Motorola offered for phones they weren’t updating to Jellybean is an option. Google even gave Nexus Q’s for free to those early adopters, once they discontinued it in its then form.

Someone, putting words in my mouth and writing continued rants on how I should feel and what I should do has the balls to tell someone else to grow up. LOL. Now THAT’s funny! Your childish rants against anyone with a different opinion than yours is what’s disgusting.

You guys are so spoiled…

I live in Europe, and wanted to get a Nexus 7, 16Gb from the first minute it was announced.
Yet, I could not buy it as it was not introduced in this remote part of the World (even if I have the money, grrr). Yes, maybe I will get a 32Gb version in the near future, maybe not so near. Until then, I have to use a Chinese tablet with inferior specs.

And one more thing, for me it’s gonna cost much more (VAT is 27%!!!)!

So please stop weaning and bless your fortune, and always remember that the price of technology drops fast. Don’t be surprised if half year later there will be a 64Gb version for the same price. Time is money, no?

Good point. I think people impulse buy a little too much sometimes though.

I’m not pissed either. The Nexus 7 is a tremendous value. I guess it would have been nice if only a 16GB or 32GB model were offered to begin with, but whatever. It is what it is. By far this bad boy has been the best tablet experience I’ve come across thus far. It’s a nice balance between size and performance and lets face it, one that we didn’t think we’d be able to score for $250….at least I didn’t (unless it was some garbage Pantech or Archos put out).
