Hi everyone,
I hardly post here, usually find what I need via search, but this im stuck.
My 1st tablet was a tf101 loved it, moved on to nexus 7. 2 weeks ago my not so better half stood on it and smashed the screen. I need to replace it. Not too keen to buy another nexus 7, its getting on and I'd like a change.
Here's the dilemma, no questions straight away I knew I wanted a nexus 10, BUT its unavailable in my country and although I'm in Australia right now google play cancelled the order I made due to paying with a New Zealand credit card. What do I get?
Ipad 4? Never used iOS but scared I wont like the walled garden (love to flash and tinker)
Surface or other windows rt tab? Same prob as ipad but with added prob of lacking apps.
Other android tab? Really like the nexus devices, note 10.1 has too low res and tf700 I/O problems.
Really don't know what to do here, worst case I'll buy another n7 since they're cheap and wait till I can get something I'm happy with.
Thoughts please
Thanks
Sorry, but you should ask here mate:

Hi Everyone,
It's been a while since I've been on XDA so for give me if this is in the wrong place. As It covers both devices and is not related to development activities as such I thought this would be the correct location.
Anyway I have had my eye on the TF700 for quite a while then the nexus 7 was released though I am still leaning in the direction of the TF700 but I want to get other peoples opinions on the matter, especially from anyone who has had a chance to use both. So please if anyone has experiance with two device I would really like to hear your comments, and or suggestions.
Also does anyone in the UK now what shops are demoing these devices, i will be checking out my local carphone warehouse this weekend to see if they have the nexus 7 as I don't think anywhere has the TF700 in the UK yet.
Anyone got insider info on what shops maybe stocking the TF700?
Thanks for your time and will see you on the forums.
Cheers
Hey there, I think you may want to put this in Q and A but I think a mod will be about to do it anyway. And there are many threads dedicated to x or y type question.
Welcome back to XDA if you haven't had a welcome back yet.
Anyway, I would say get the nexus 7. Support and updates for that would be through the roof. It is also great value for money.
Sorry If that isn't what you wanted. Hope you enjoy your purchase anyway. :laugh:

Thanks will ask the question in the thread mentioned above; If a Mod wants to kill this one that be fine by me.
Get the nexus 7
nexus 7!!! obviously
Well answer the question yourself by answering these questions.
Do you want a bigger screen or better portability?
Do you want something with a large memory capacity without anything hanging off it? Or cloud if you have good bandwidth?
Do you want more power for future games ie 1-2 years from now?
What ports do you need?
Do you want frequent updates, and lots of development?
Do you want to spend the extra cash?
Both are good devices, but you're comparing apples with oranges, so pick a fruit

I would pick the Nexus 7.
Nexus 7 for sure

Nexus 7 for sure. Great device.
Nexus 7
Need to buy a 7 inch tablet for my niece. First she wanted a kindle until I showed her my hacked Nook Color. Now she thinks she wants a Nook because of how much more my Nook can do VS a kindle. She doesn't even know about 7 inch tablets like the Nexus 7 being way more powerful than my pathetic old Nook.
I'm leaning toward a Nexus 7. The thing is, I want to get her a gift that's "cool", not by my standard but by the standard of the 12 year old snobby pukes she goes to school with. No sense in buying her a nexus if it won't get used because some snot nosed brat judged it uncool. If that's probable then I'll just get the stupid Nook HD or Tablet and be done with it. She wants it for "reading books."
Suggestions? $199 budget
Sir,
Here a thread to assist you in your gift
**DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!
Thank You and Thread Closed
Hey guys. Over the last few weeks i've been debating over whether i should buy myself an S4 or HTC One. They're both awesome phones, which is making it all the harder for me to decide which one to get. So i decided to ask which one you guys would suggest.
I would mainly use the phone for heavy internet browsing and listening to music.
Also I will most likely put a custom rom on the phone so I dont really care about what software features it has.
Over here in Australia the HTC One costs $750 whereas the octa core galaxy S4 costs $699.
If you suggest a phone make sure to let me know why it's better than the other one.
Not sure what to buy next?

$750 is ridiculous for the nexus 4 when it really should cost $300. Can you buy it in eBay from us seller? At that price difference definitely Samsung or the n new HTC. Newer more advanced phone, cheaper.
I replied in the official thread, but wanted to let you know that im not talking about the nexus 4, im talking about the Samsung galaxy s4 and the HTC One
HTC One is much cheaper you can get is for about $720 (second hand on eBay probably costs ~$500) and the quality that you get is pretty good. For example if you compare the quality of the pictures taken with both HTC One and Galaxy S4 there are almost no difference. However, if you are looking for a long battery life definitely S4 is better but more expensive though.
If I were you I would buy the HTC then use it for a couple of months and then buy another new phone
1st theres like a million of these threads. Second:

Third:
Go visit the s4 forums.
Then visit the htc one /m7 forums.
Use your new found knowledge to make a yoda like decision.
And now:
Thread reported, it is
Since this has been asked in the "official" thread, I am going to close this one...
Ok I'm due for an upgrade right now. I currently have the old HTC Inspire with gingerbread. I'm really wanting the Lumia 920 bc I'm a little tired of Android and I also see ATT has it for free right now. I know the Lumia is a good phone but for any of you that's had it for a while, have you got tired of it yet? Ppl always talk about how good it is when they first get but how is it once the newness wears off? The reason I was leaning against the SIII is bc I just hate to spend money on a phone that is so similar to what I already have and I can't really afford the HTC One right now. I've got til August to upgrade
Not sure what to buy next?

I am looking to sell my iPad and get a android tablet. I have the s4 phone and I love it, I also have a samsung laptop that I love as we'll so I am leaning towards a samsung tablet. What would you guys recommend, I have been looking at the note 8.0 and I have read mixed reviews so what do you guys think?
It's a solid tablet, but it all depends on how useful that S-Pen is going to be for you. Otherwise, if you're looking to get the most bang for your buck specs-wise, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

Sero 7 Pro!
The $149 Hisense Sero 7 Pro is a great Nexus 7 clone available exclusively at Walmart, and occasionally you can find cheaper refurbs online for about 80-90 bucks. I got mine this June, and it was a great purchase decision! I've just recently rooted it and am running Dolorespark's dopaROM v1.1, which you can read about here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470998 There's also a Kitkat-based ROM called Taktik (get it?) that I haven't tried yet as the camera and mp3 aren't working properly yet, but good news: Hisense just released the kernel source code today, and it looks like ROM development for this tablet is about to really take off! You can read about Taktik here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536116
Good luck with your future tablet purchase!
