Any unexpected surprises after getting your N7?

[chaikenj]

The big surprise for me was that after a few minutes it turned off, and then all I could get was a big LOCK icon.  I must have hit and banged the icon 100 times with no success.  There are no instructions anywhere about how to unlock the N7, other than that there are options for unlock such as password and face unlock.  The factory-setting unlock is not explained.   The unlock instructions should be in in the Quick Start guide.

Sounds like you have no experience with android, simply drag the lock outside the circle that appears when you tap it.

Mine came with a movie and tv app version for gb (Great Britton)...not the US...so when I try to watch a movie, it gives me an error message saying (not avaliable in your country)....can't figure out how to change the setting....

1 big surprise to me was how resistant it is to fingerprint smudges. It seems like with my kindle fire I was wiping fingerprints off every 5 minutes.  With the n7, once every hour is good enough.

I was expecting my Galaxy S2 to shrink after using the N7. What I wasn't expecting is for this tablet which seems the ideal size in my hands to shrink right down when I put it in the soft (Kindle) sleeve I bought for it.

One second I've got this nice big screen a few inches from my short-sighted eyes, the next it's shrunk down to --dinky. Yes, yes, I know...

The Nexus 7 is so popular that there are going to be large numbers of purchasers like me who don't know anything about Android.  Can you suggest something a beginner should read?

@chaikenj - have a read of the Nexus 7 book you get free in the Play Store.

Surprises?   None that I can think of right now.

I got unexpected surprize 
Yesterday I purchased a 8 gb Nexus 7 from local store that had only 1 left and I could not wait for a 16 gb.
After playing with this tablet for 10 hours or so I started to explore in details and to my surprise it is in fact a 16 gb and states so on the box in the code- 1b/t30l/16/1g/v

They had trouble scanning the sku numbers and did in fact take 5 extra minutes getting the thing to take and when I paid for it I was happy that I settled for a 8 gb version but now it seams to be 16 gb

So you are going to do the right thing and go back to the store and tell them  they mistakenly sold you a 16GB for the price of a 8GB?

After 2 weeks of calling and driving and emailing and only answers I got was you will not find one.
This is their mistake not mine. If I bought a 16 gig on eBay it would be 330. Or higher

It is my guess that the store would spend more in time trying to correct it than it would be worth to them, not to mention the time you would invest in trying to correct. it.

Every store I know of would tell him it was his fair  and square. He bought what they sold him at their price.

They were very close to me walking out with out the nexus as they could not get the SKU to work.
I thought it as a bad sign and almost left but now I am just grinning

Not all stores. Maybe this store won't see it as fair and square.  If he wants a 16GB then he should pay for it.  Personally, my conscious would be gnawing at me if I didn't contact the store and make it right with them regardless of the outcome.
