So Google Play has a cheap "under a dollar to make" neoprene case for the N7 2013. $29. Click checkout and it's over $50 with 3-5 day ground shipping.

I guess I can purchase a square trade plan for $70 inside of the 30 day purchase period and then flip the new in box tablet for $200 on swappa for a net loss of $30? No way...unless you get the 19 yr old cashier who doesn't open it up and "inspect the contents" but then you would have to live with the guilt if they took it back.

Just walked into best buy and picked up a 32gig black Nexus 9. 297mb OTA on first boot. It's nice. Any questions let me know. And do yourself a favor. Stop by the post office on the way and grab a 10% off BB movers coupon.

It's really nice so far. The 4:3 is kind of strange. Text elements look large but sharp. Just finished the OTA and am updating apps. Thank God for AT&T's 15->30 gig data increase. Tethered to my phone now. The camera lens design is fine. Stop sperging about it. The new Google Calendar is pretty sweet. Integrates Gmail and photos and such. Very nice. hotsauce fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Nov 3, 2014 |

Speakers are loud but not boom sound bassy. Camera is OK...typical tablet quality (I'll post samples in a few). OS is very fast - no surprise there. The new calendar is great. As you swipe through each month, there is a doodle of sorts that represents each month. Overall so far I have no regrets especially after the 10% coupon and $70 prepaid card from some rebate a while ago. Got the black 32 gig. Edit. Here are two quick photos. The camera is...not that great. Not that any tablet is, but it's there for some quick junk shots if you need. http://imgur.com/a/bbWIr hotsauce fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Nov 3, 2014 |

I could have just gotten the drat thing from BB today, but instead I'm stuck with an un-cancelable Google Play preorder (which hasn't shipped yet or even been charged to my card--after 5PM Pacific on the day it was slated to ship). Don't worry. Each BB only got one 16 and one 32. If you didn't buy at 10:01 am for in store pickup, you would have been disappointed anyhow. Is not like they have hundreds on the shelf.

If the Nexus 9 was $199/$249 suddenly creaking, light bleed, camera protrusion and mushy buttons would be absent from every review. I know of people expect a lot for the price but in an iPad world the price is quite reasonable. And lol at the idiots flipping about the black bars on movies. It's 4:3. I posted a pic just for reference but knew a 4:3 device would look like that. Nexus 9. The tablet everyone loves to hate because it's so expensive.

Karthe posted:Has anyone else had an issue with Windows recognizing a Nexus 7 2013 in bootloader mode? I've been beating my head against the wall for the last hour uninstalling and reinstalling drivers but every time my tablet goes into bootloader mode Windows sees it as an unknown USB device (literally, the hardware ID is reported as USB\UNKNOWN). When the tablet is booted into Android, though, Windows sees it just fine. Are you by chance using USB 3.0 ports and Win 8.1? They are flaky sometimes. I even bought a $100 beater Lenovo running Win7 with USB 2 ports for flashing and phone stuff. Works flawlessly every time whereas my SP3 is flaky as hell.

Ended up returning my N9 to Best Buy and got an open box 10.5 Tab S 32 gig for $389 (haggled with manager like I always do). I know, Samsung but drat if the SAMOLED screen and non 4:3 isn't incredible. Blacks are pure #00000. No stock 5.0 but at this point I don't care. The screen on this thing is pure butter. Might even violate my religion and get a Note 4 as well. hotsauce fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Nov 14, 2014 |

Alder posted:You can haggle at BB w/managers? Usually for big box retailers they will stick to the policy and say nothing they can do about prices. I just ask for the hell of it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Getting a $549 Tab S that was marked to $429, then getting an extra 10%? All day long purchase. This summer I got a fully maxed out 15" rMBP (16/512/latest gen) for like $1,680. Felt criminal. So, if you see an open box cage, just be kind and ask. The answer will most always be no, but it's worth a try, IMO. After all, you can pay 10% less for every new item in the store by simply getting a mover's guide from the post office. Never pay full price if you can avoid it.

Maneki Neko posted:I've never gotten a good answer, what's the status of warranties on Best Buy open box? Does it start on the original sale date? Depends on the product. Apple stuff is warranted by serial, regardless of the individual buyer. My Tab S is under warranty for the next 11.5 months, for example (so it was sold and returned as new 2 weeks ago). Just depends on the manufacturer, but I've never bought an open box that didn't carry a manufacturer warranty. Even Amazon Warehouse Deal items (used, returns) have manufacturers warranties from my experience. Hell, a 5th hand HTC One M7 I bought was fixed by HTC, zero questions asked because the serial had 2 weeks left on the yr warranty (purple tint).

Hughmoris posted:Has anyone gave the new Dell Venue 8 7000 any thought? It was announced as being available today but from what I understand its been on sale at Best Buy for the past few days. It runs Android 4.4 which I don't find bad since both my Nexus 4 and 7 are still running 4.4 with no problems. I got one the other day from Best Buy..........had to ask for it - nobody knew it existed. Worst launch ever. It's really nice, but the 16gb of ROM STORAGE (like 9.5 free on first boot) is a real bummer. The speakers (there's two in the bezel) are HTC One quality. Bassy and very loud. Very clear and crisp sound. Screen is totally stunning, both in brightness and resolution. Even better than the Tab S, IMO. It's impossibly thin and has literally zero bezels. Yeah, there's a chin that houses the front camera and speakers. It's actually handy when holding it in portrait view...awkward in landscape either way. Battery is 5500 something mAh. Lasting forever with heavy use so far. I'm guessing the Intel quad core processor is efficient? 2 gigs of RAM. I had Zagg's corporate HQ in Utah use it as a template device today. They put a shield on the front/back free of charge, and will use the design worldwide for this model. Yeah, it's overpriced at $399, but I had a ton of giftcards to burn, so I'll probably keep it. MicroSD will be nicer when Lollipop lands. Dell will update it to Lollipop, right guys? Guys? This my only reservation (besides the low storage). I know poo poo about Dell's Android updates. My assumption is they are worse than Samsung, but KitKat is at least stable and bug-free vs. Lollipop. Don't want to beta test anymore. It's as good as a Nexus - fast as hell and Dell's OS is bone stock with a few non-intrusive addons (some blastingly loud sound enhancements, for example). Also Intel has baked in some motion sensing software so all you have to do it pick it up and it turns on. I'm guessing it would drain the gently caress out of it while in a bag, but it's there. The 3D measurement camera feature? No clue. No tablet should ever have a camera and this one seems to be no exception. Only tried indoors and pics were, well, lovely tablet quality. Maybe measuring a job site in full sunlight or something is their goal...that or the tech is a template for Dell making Android phones one day? It's in gimmick land for now, for sure.

Thermopyle posted:I imagine the Dell is pretty nice. Where it'll live or die is how well they support it going forward. It's really nice actually. Feels like some futuristic device Sony would churn out. Software has me concerned already though. "Gallery" a Dell application, crashes every 30 minutes or so. I'm not even using it. The gallery is what's used to leverage the "~3d triple camera measurement" feature that I've yet to figure out. Also Office for Android doesn't work since it only supports ARM processors. Fun! A unique processor! It's blazing fast though. Faster than any Android device I've touched including the Nexus 9. I agree. Dell has superior hardware here, only to be potentially ruined by lovely software support. As always, fingers crossed. That should be the Android prayer. It will improve soon, right? Right guys? Guys?..........

horchata posted:someone convince me to sell/not sell my nexus 9 and buy a dell venue 8 7000 instead. The side buttons are really getting to me on an otherwise acceptable tablet and the venue 8 7000 looks really good (although the side buttons on that also look kinda butt) Do whatever you wish but I did the exact opposite. I saw the Dell in Best Buy, bought it instantly. It's a beautiful piece of hardware, however I don't trust Dell's ability to update it at all. The first OTA boots up with the little Android guy and writing it looks like Korean or Chinese. Not really reassuring for the US market. Also some of Dells own apps don't even work yet. The nail in the coffin for me was having nine gigs available on the first boot. Yes there's a microSD slot, however with KitKat the practicality is extremely limited. Great speakers, great screen, great hardware all ruined by Dells sketchy update track record, and extremely low on board storage. It's a shame. If you're okay with such a low amount of local storage and possibly waiting on lollipop for a very long time, it really is a nice piece hardware. Otherwise it will fail in 2015 unless a 32 gig version is ushered out the door really fast. hotsauce fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Jan 13, 2015 |
