    Re: Google Nexus 7 Discussion Thread

    I got the email too - yes I agree, very badly handled here and they should of satifisfied their own play store customers as a priority. I can only take from this that they massively underestimated how popular this would be and had already promised allocation to other outlets some time in advance.

    As is, as long as I get it before the 1st of August i'm happy - because that's the wife's birthday.. If not, i'm a dead dangel

    Re: Google Nexus 7 Discussion Thread

    I have officially given up on the whole thing, come to the realization im not going to get it before i go away. If they agree to change my delivery then il get the one from google in a few weeks, if not then il just see what happens, most likely it will go back and il do without. Might sack it off and wait for this rumoured HTC tablet with a digitiser.

    Its not available for reserve and collect but spoke to the store manager as it was opening today and he said they'd put one aside and give me a ring when they get them in. He then rang me about and hour or so ago and I collected it.

    Not out on the shop floor yet but worth asking!

    Just went to the nearest currys superstore (which is right next to a PC world superstore :/ ) and they said their delivery day is tomorrow. I just dont think its worth all this hassle.

    Might have a word with my dad see if he could order it for me then il pay him back

    Im a bit miffed i havent heard anything back from the playstore via e-mail. Clearly a lot of angry customers and they are filtering off the e-mails they cant be arsed to deal with.

    Well it says the 20th on the website, but the guy in store said they had a delivery tomorrow... so who knows.

    A lot of people on G+ and the comments on engadget are claiming they have defects with theirs such as the screen not being fixed in correctly and are having to send them back

    Re: Google Nexus 7 Discussion Thread

    i asked my dad to buy it for me as a preorder from currys (so i can actually pick the damn thing up!), it says the item is not in stock and he will be contacted to arrange a sensible delivery date... yet on the website it says they will come in tomorrow for next day delivery. Lets see what happens with that one.
