Hello All,
Just wondering if any of you ordered the New Nexus 7 flagship tablet. I should get it in a few weeks and cannot wait. I got the 16 GB version

Yes, You cant compare the Dual Core of the Galaxy Tab to the Quad Core Tegra 3. The only part about the Galaxy 7 that is better is the expandable storage.

Definitely gonna get one. At $199, it will be great to sit around the house and surf the web when I don't want to lug around my laptop or use my RAZR's smaller screen.

Piece of advice, go with the $250 version, as it does not have expandable storage, the extra 8 GB will come in handy for downloading offline videos.

You may be right for only $50 more.

You should be able to either get one from ebay or contact someone in America to see if they can buy it and ship it to you. Both you may pay a premium fee for

I just spent my first 14 hours with the tablet and I am genuinely impressed. Aside from the lack of expandable storage, ASUS and Google made absolutely no cutbacks on this tablet. The performance and build quality are both better then several more expensive tablets.

The Quad Core Tegra 3 makes this tablet scream through most tasks. Like I said, I am impressed.

The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is running Honeycomb, an older version of Android (3.2) and It only has a Dual Core Processor. As a plus, it does have a slightly larger screen and Expandable Storage. Most tablets should be using ICS (4.0) or Jelly Bean (4.1) as it offers some benefits like Google Chrome.

The Nexus 7 has a 7 inch screen but includes a Quad Core CPU and NFC. There is no cell radio on it so it is WiFi only.
