Nexus 7 inch or Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch

Tigerandahalf

Which is the best option?
Seen both empty boxes in Carphone Warehouse. Nexus 32G for around 250eur. The Galaxy Tab 2 for the same price but only 16G.
I was going to buy a 10 inch but after handling both sizes today Im drawn towards the 7 inch. A lot easier on the hand. Think my hand would be tired holding 10 inch while browsing, also feel Id be hunched over it. Maybe even with the 7 inch too.
I have a GS2 phone and its brilliant except for those webpages that are notsuitable for smartphones.
I want something for browsing, watching the odd movie on a flight or holiday and to store some podcasts etc.

Thanks

Edit. Sorry about duplicate posts. Boards has been misfiring all day for me.

I don't own either, but from what I've read and heard, the Nexus 7 would be far and away the better product.

Did I read that it doesnt have HDMI or SD slot. Is that right?
250 is decent value.
Im wondering how much use I will get out of one as the phone is v handy for casual browsing.

I have a Tab 2 7 Inch and its not great to be honest.

The screen is not great, the resolution is poor and the screen looks dark and fuzzy.

I have several friends who have a Nexus 7 and they say its great but ill hold out for the Nexus 10.

I'd say go for the N7, it's the latest and is one of the most powerful 7' out there.

It doesn't have HDMI nor a front facing camera, but there are ways around the HDMI and I'd always have my phone for taking photos anyway.

The 32 GB just came out and is €239, great value IMO.

Thanks for replies. Good to hear from people. No point making a rush buy. I dont think Id need it for photos but what about movies. How would you transfer a movie to it besides wifi?

You can connect it via USB to your computer. As well as that, there are online sources to watch TV etc.

Nexus 7 is excellent, my first tablet and worth the wait.

How much space would a 3 hour movie take up? 3G?

It's depends, would you be ripping a dvd 4-5gb, using something like iTunes 2-3gb or 'obtaining' them online. 0.7-1gb

For the quality on a tablet, less than a GB normally.

Had a look at these in carphone warehouse. I see a tablet called Versus Tab 7 inch for 100eur. Meant to be selling well.
Im still undecided on whether to go for a 7 inch or 10 inch. If a 7 inch Id get the Nexus as it seems to have better reviews. Any other recommendations from people. Id like to be able to use the rte player easily. Is there much difference between the Galaxy Tab 1 and 2 10 inch.
So many products it is hard to choose.
When is Nexus 10 out?
