Title: Who will be first from the forum to get a Nexus 7 in hand (from Google Play)?
Post by: coolbreeze on July 16, 2012, 12:43:51 PM
Today could be the day a site member gets his or her N7. For sure tomorrow. If you are, be the first to post it, or even if you are not first let us know here when you get it and what you think.  Remember with out a picture posted it didn't happen. The rest of us that will be waiting will enjoy reading about your experiences.

Edit: added  "from Google Play" for grins.

Better yet, see who can come up with the coolest home screen.

I'm pretty sure several people in the forum have already received their nexus 7s on Friday both in the uk and also some people picked them up at gamestop. Look at some past posts and you'll see.

Yup, a few have already reported their N7's are in hand, mostly because of ordering from retail stores instead of from Google Play.  I don't know of anyone who ordered from Google Plus who has theirs yet... tomorrow for sure.

Good for you!  Mine comes tomorrow.

So did you get the $25 Google Play store credit for buying it at Staples.

Woohoo! "Out For Delivery" is what UPS shows.   I'm at work, but I'll have it this evening :)  CooL!

No bueno... but it'll come in time.  When did you order yours again?  And did you order a case?  That seems to be the hangup for some.

Mine arrived ~1 hr ago.  UPS didn't even ring the doorbell.  I opened the door to look outside, & there was the box.

Got tired of the run around from Google Play and went to Staples and purchased one.

Got mine. Came with battery charged about 40%. And it's still the middle of July!

UPS's site says mine is still on the truck for delivery today.  I only work about 4 minutes from where I live.  So when UPS says it's delivered I may go home to check it out.  Will report about it later.
