any way around this?
That's such a load of nonsense. I've been using a Moto RAZR i with an Intel processor for months and have no problems with apps. The whole Intel incompatibility thing is a myth!
The Nexus range get OS updates as soon as they are released, any other brand android device generally has a long delay so the manufacturers can tweak the custom software and any custom drivers.
The Nexus also has better glass so its less likely to get scratched and has NFC (not used in the UK yet), both of which sound small but can save a lot of hassle (NFC can be used for wireless payments in the US via google wallet).
The processors will be tit for tat, some things the slightly higher clocked dual core will be better, but at the same time the quad will be better on other applications and generally better for multitasking.
Having said that I would personally wait and see what google announce/release soon as both the older nexus and fonepad will drop in price if its as big/good as everyone is hyping it to be.
But Asus usually be the first company other than google to get OS updated.
And regarding the glass, unfortunately the true is Nexus is not scratch proof. I already got a scratch on my own nexus 7. I have to get myself a screen protector to avoid further damage at the end.
NFC - you already said it. Not availible to UK!!! Why border? By the time availible to UK, it is the time for you to get a new garget.
It is true that fonepad's proscessor may not be as good as nexus 7. But who will use it for multi-tasking?
Fonepad has micro sd slot and can make phone call. Although I think most ppl won't use it as phone, since it is able to make phone call, you can use giffgaff £12 to get unlimited data, which is not restricted to those more expensive tariff for tablet only.
If you're reading the web version or app version of a newspaper then it is fine.
But if you are reading a "scanned" in version of a newspaper or magazine, e.g. PDF or Zinio, then it will be too small and you'll need to keep zooming in and out.
Easy
Sorted!!
Heat added.
I was planning on reserving this today and picking up tomorrow. Hope I don't have the same problem. Could you maybe scan in the receipt, email it to customer support and explain?
So I went to PC World in Gateshead and used the o2 code fine, and also got the £20 voucher with my receipt. Good stuff!
Although when I asked about the o2 code in PC World, the man had no idea what it was and said it would just be an online thing, so I had to explain to him what it was. He then tried entering the code in and it was successful.
I'm thinking of ordering an o2 sim for priority moments, do the pay as you go sims require topup for activation?
Or I might have to check if any of my friends use o2.
Is there any kind of checkup or verification or is it just a unique code that any one else could use?
A 5 digit code gets SMSed to you which you need to enter into the app. There is no O2 check after this I believe. My wife moved from O2 to Vodafone a few months ago and the priority app still works fine.
Just be sure to back it up with Titanium Backup or similar so you don't need to get the SMS resent.
I've got a similar problem but not as bad as yours.
The four closest stores only have pay and collect, so I had to reserve at the fifth store.
Fortunately all the stores are close by, and the store I've reserved it at is 6 miles away.
Not exactly close but I can most likely get some one to drive me there.
After reserving mine, I tried checking again just now to see which stores have reserve available, now none of them.
Glad I reserved it, going to go tomorrow.
I'll probably ring them tomorrow morning to make sure they accept o2 priority vouchers, as an earlier user reported not all of them do.
I don't want to go all the way and not get the discount. I'll probably confirm the £20 voucher on the phone.
Does any one know whether this offer is a web exclusive?
Because if it's same price in store, then it'll be better going to the local store.
In the morning I confirmed with them over the phone as to whether they accept o2 priority, they said yes.
All was fine until I arrived, when I arrived I presented the reservation.
I had to wait only to be told that they're out of stock and that they tried ringing me earlier that morning.
I did miss one call this morning that was from a private number, so there was no way I could have known it was them.
Overall, waste of time.
So I reserved the pack (tablet + case) and went in the evening.
I got the deal, used the o2 code to get £20 discount.
Paid £185 in total (N7 + case)
They gave me
-£20 coupon
-5% off any cartridges coupon
-A coupon to be able to buy a PNY 16gb usb stick for £10
-A Times / Sunday Times 3 month subscription gift card
-A day pass for viewing Sky Sports using NOWTV.
Good day I'd say
glad to hear you got sorted! sure you'll enjoy your nexus
Yea, this is my first tablet, it's excellent.
I'm really glad I bought this.
Thanks for letting us know about this offer.
Looks like they've raised the price.
I also have RAZR I, and generally very pleased with it. There is the odd app that isn't compatible. BBC Iplayer only recently updated, and sadly no Candy crush......:-)
