Do you reckon the Nexus 7 2nd gen 32 GB will get a price slash when this comes out? Would love to pick one up for reading.

Hi The Governor,
I think the only Nexus that I can recall getting a price slash on the PlayStore was the Nexus 4, shortly before the Nexus 5 appeared.
Of course they may do that again with another Nexus device, but I have a feeling that the 4 and 5 both being LG phones may have been an enabling factor in that price slash.

Just thought I'd tell you my own story with acquiring a 32GB Nexus 7 2013 for a cheaper price..

I picked up a 32GB refurb from Dabs.ie a while ago for €180 with which I'm very happy.

Tablet didn't come with original box. Got the tablet, usb cable and charger in a larger plain cardboard box, inside of which the tablet was strapped onto a diagonal piece of cardboard using foam wrap and tape. Other than the plain packaging tablet looked brand new and unused.

Upon starting it up I quickly discovered a very likely reason why the tablet had been returned originally. It was exhibiting a minor bug in the software that affects the "Welcome" first run setup. Basically it lets you get to the point where you enter the Wifi password and then gets stuck there, giving you no way of proceeding further. It's mentioned as part of Problem #4 listed on this page of Android Authority and is quite easy to resolve.
Personally, I was going to be unlocking the bootloader anyway which would have made the tablet do a factory factory reset anyway.

One other point, and I apologise for going off topic, but had to tell this to complete the story. While the tablet itself worked out fine for me, the UPS delivery service that Dabs use as cheapest option is disastrous.
My tablet arrived in Shannon and nearly got sent back to UK twice before I finally got it. I had to ring twice to get this sorted out, and it was a combination partly of Dabs' fault and mostly UPS fault for simply making no effort to figure out the address or even phone to confirm it.
Basically Dabs printed the label like so, placing the street address below the county:

Mr Duri Duridian,
Duridiantown,
Duridian County,
Duridian Road,
Ireland
06x-CALLDURIDIAN

This was enough to stop UPS in their tracks. :rolleyes:

So if anybody reading this is thinking of getting one of these refurbished tablets, save yourself a headache and avoid the cheaper "Standard delivery" option.

its forbes;) you'd imagine it was reliable. F5 hammertime tomorrow so? cant phooking wait.

haha. im just a big saddo:o i have an account on the england and ireland store. so will be watching both. in fairness its all guess work but i dont expect them to go on sale tomorrow:( but an announcement and specs would be lovely:)

I'd be shocked if they are put up on the Irish store the same day as they go on the American and UK stores, there is always a shortage of these things at the begining and I can see them restricting access to some stores. Of course I hope I'm wrong, I just don't think that because we got devices that we can expect everything first.

consulted with the financial controller department*
