Nexus 10 16GB WiFi AVAILABLE in Google Store - $399
 

I've been looking to get this for a few weeks now, but it was always OOS. It's in stock as of 4 PM EST at the Google store.

https://play.google.com/store/dev...us_10_16gb

I was excited to see it in stock and finally order one, so I figured I would post it for others.. let's hope they have a decent stock of the N10.

Says 1-2 weeks for shipping.

When the frack will this be available tax free?

When you move to New Hampshire :)

Oh well. I will just wait on the Nexus 10 2nd gen coming out in a few months.

I am in NH but won't buy from Google store as their shipping fee sux.

Thanks. Got 1. It came to $443 Ouch!

As everyone, I don't mind paying the 399$ but I'm looking for free shipping and tax free :lol:

Anybody know if the google play gift cards available in B&M stores can be used toward the purchase of devices, or is it limited to apps?

I bought one around New Years, and the tablet is really nice -- I especially liked the screen resolution. It is my first tablet and I like using browsers and the reading applications. I also like the GPS a lot.

I figured it's not really all that expensive because:

1. My existing GPS unit Garmin Streetpilot 2610 is about 12yrs old (still works), A replacement will easily cost say $80. As long as I plan the trip and download offline map, can easily use Nexus 10 as "new" GPS (and stop at McD or free WiFi for offline map updates)

2. I have a Sandisk Clip (mp3 player) probably 4-5 yrs old. cost about $30. This thing holds all my MP3 or play my offline radio podcasts

3. Portable reader (can't get anything decent for under $150 new)

4. A ultra-portable laptop of any decent spec will cost $200 easily, and it's not as portable as Nexus10.
(screen resolution / portability / ease of content consumption)

Given the freedom to "detach" from a desktop or a dedicated laptop, like taking a recipe to the kitchen, while listening to internet radio or scanner radio applications, able to check stocks all throughout the day, it has become basically a portable "Smart Newspaper". I now also have a decent device to read the over 5000 free Amazon books I accumulated last year :) or read financial filings (10-K, 10-Q's)

I don't think anyone will be getting out of paying tax or shipping for a while, so it's one question of how long do you want to wait before you get a decent device you'll be happy with (paying a reasonable price). This was enough for me to jump and get one.

Google play store only. Apps, Music and Books.

This is a great device. Better PPI than the Ipad 3 and 4.
For those who say the Nexus 10 v. 2 will come out soon....I highly doubt it.

I'd rather have this over an Ipad 4 and day, even if the Nexus 10 was more expensive.

Sweet tablet but not a slick deal here. I got mine from Staples a while back cheaper OTD and used a coupon.

For Nexus range, availability itself counts as a deal !!

I wonder if people will start lining up outside stores like iPhones/iPads for the next Nexus devices. I am waiting for a N7 deal (hopefully 199 for 32 gig) to get on the bandwagon too.

It's been in stock for weeks...

can you tell me how you accumulated so many free books????

are there any books that are worth reading at all? I got a few free books as well but they're all complete crap so far, so i just stopped trying.

I browsed through the Free Kindle top 100, then I go back to the Kindle Books navigation category, into subjects, (Sci-Fi, Cooking, Gardening, Fiction, etc) Each of those has its own Top-100 category.

I end up grabbing about 5-10 books a day just browsing. and you can also add the Top 100 into your RSS reader, so you end up getting at least 2-3 free books (just from browsing the Top 100 each day in each category), so over the course of a year, you'll easily get a few thousand free books.

This link above take you to "Fiction (top 100), now look to the left on the "Kindle eBooks", and it'll take you to all the different categories, and you can start your collection too.

Why double price difference on 7 inch and 10. inch tablets? Excepts for screen, everything inside should be same.

Best tablet hands down...period. And I have had almost all of them.

:look: Where is the "deal" portion of this? Or the "Hot" portion of this? Unsure.

tax is .99 cent in mississippi. haha

Nexus 10 also has double the RAM and a generation-newer processor (A15 rather than the Nexus 7's Tegra 3). Also keep in mind that the larger screen has 4x the pixels (2560*1600, instead of 1280*800) and larger battery to match.

Between this and Galaxy 10.1 .. which one will you prefer ?
I have Note 2 right now and my wife is Nexus 4, so I am pretty familiar with the cellphone version of the NEXUS and GALAXY series.

:iagree: Has one, loves it and yeah the $399 is steep but I'll be damned if I don't find it well worth it and more.

I did this too!!! LOL!

Best Tablet hands down got one for $399 add a Keyboard and its a Laptop

amazing.

:facepalm:

I got my wife this tablet a month ago. I am not too impressed. It hangs occasionally(once every few days). I thought the hang's were due to apps, but it still does it when using native apps, like gmail, browser, gallery etc. I would still recommend it. Best features for me are the screen resolution, snappy-ness, and multiple user setup.

Anyone has recommendations on a nice cover/stand for this tablet?

Walmart!

Thank you...and Staples as well.

Both of those places only have the 32 gb, which is $500. I wish I can get the 16gb for $400 like from newegg or amazon or something...no tax, free shipping lol cause otherwise a $400 tablet turns into a $440-450 tablet :(

The Nexus 10 combines the greatness of Samsung hardware with a crisp and pure Android and tablet experience that is not matched. The resolution alone makes it smoke the 10.1. Second best tablet is the iPad 4 and distant 3rd is the Asus TF700 (unless you require the dock and/or slots). If it were not for the Nexus 10, I would have given up on tablets for a while.

The advantage of buying on Staples or Walmart is the no fees and hassle free return however I concur, $500 is a steep price and that's the reason I returned mine on Staples...I also did not appreciate the light bleed, lack of expansion memory and battery was so so, that screen is sharp but sucks battery pretty bad and colors are warm.

Sorry, not ready to spend $400 on a toy....oops I mean tablet right now. :D

Call me when its $200 and has SD card....

now that the ipad is jailbreakable, methinks this is a lesser option. may pick one up when it is 399 + free shipping + no tax through a third party vendor. may also be worth it to wait for the supposed quad core upgrade that is coming in the next 2-3 months. at 430 after shipping, you're better off with an refurb 3rd gen ipad.

I totally disagree.

That would almost be funny if you weren't such a douche.

looks like scott has her panties in a bunch.

Such a German?

I love my S3 but Im not getting the nexus 10 bezel. Too big ..
Hopefully galaxy Tab 3 will be great one or Im gonna go after Tablet Z.

Thanks, I wanted to confirm that before being stuck with $400 in Apps, hoping that I could save 5% on the device. Dodged a bullet, haha.

who makes this for Google? Asus?

Samsung

Note 10.1 - Costco $429

Google Nexus 10 $399

Which one to get ??

But people saying nexus 10 have issue

10.1 has less than half the pixels of the nexus 10. Other than that its just ICE vs jellybean.

Honestly looking at the hardware and software, i wouldn't even consider the note when comparing it to the Nexus 10. All tablets have some issue or another, none of them are perfect really b/c people dwell on it. See if you can find a friend with the nexus10 and play with both tablet to see which you prefer. I did, and i can't even look at the note 10 anymore lol (not saying the note 10 sucks, because it's quite a good device... just saying the nexus 10 is THAT much better).

My only contemplation is that I want something more middle ground like 8-9in. The nexus 7 is slightly smaller than i would like and requires too much scrolling for reading (I read a great number of journal articles), whereas the nexus 10 is slightly too large that I am afraid I might be clumsy and drop it on the bus.

With that in mind, I might wait around to see what the note 8 has to offer...and to see if it will be in a good price range lol.

The Note does have lesser screen resolution but it's on JB, and not ICS. It also has amazing multitasking, expandable storage, S-pen (which is awesome for Splashtop), IR blaster, wireless screen mirroring, better processor.
So yeah go with the Nexus unless you care about those small things...

You might want to take a look at the blackberry playbook, its almost sub $100. Because you know... we're trolling right?

The reason the Nexus 10 hangs is because of the super high resolution screen. You have to marry the screen resolution with a proper GPU.

This reviewer below says Temple Run runs the best on an iPad mini, compared to the Nexus 10, iPad 3 and iPad 4. Even through the CPU and GPU lag behind, it's more fluid due to the lower resolution.

I was planning on buying the Nexus 10, but after seeing how few apps are optimized for the large screen, went with the Nexus 7. I also picked up an iPad 3 for the family (Meijer deal at $330 - still too much IMO, but the family is addicted to iOS). Apps look great on the iPad 3, and run well. I prefer the size and ergonomics of the Nexus 7 myself. iPad is just too big for surfing or playing apps if you are holding it. It's better on a table or on the floor. Tablets IMO are meant to be held. YMMV.

My biggest gripe with the Nexus 7 is the limited number of Tegra Zone games which are optimized for the GPU. The problem with this tablet is that most apps are designed to run off slower tablets and phones. It's just too advanced for what's out there right now. The iPad 3/4 doesn't have that issue, as many of their apps are optimized for both their tablet and phone/touch. In any event, I pick up the Nexus 7 more than the iPad. Size does matter.

yeah, i gotta agree with you here. i prefer all of the above advantages over the higher resolution that may or may not be too high for the processor/battery to fully handle. If I was currently in the market for a 10.1" screen, I'd go for the Note. but I'd wait til it got a bit cheaper, since tablets are still more of a toy in my opionion, can't spend more than $250!

I'm thinking by the time I'm back in the market, this Note will be just what I'm looking for in that price range.

I have a handful of tablets in the 7, 9.7 and 10.1 sizes. I find the 10.1 just a bit too big and prefer the 9.7 for 90% of the time. I keep the 7" in my vehicle for portability, and it makes a decent ereader when my Nook ST isn't available.

But seriously interested in the upcoming 8" tablets. that 8-9" might just be the sweet spot for me.

BB Playbook is unacceptable because...well its BB. Im looking closer to one of the Asus Transformers or Toshiba Excite/Drive tablets.

And it's not trolling, it's market analysis. :D

Gotta agree with you on the price thing though. Too many, tablets are nothing but a luxury item that provide little benefit (For school the S-pen is essential for me). However if the Note 8 comes out around the $250 range they will sell like crazy :drool:

That's wishful thinking (including myself lol) but realistically it'll prob be around $350-400

Placed an order last night.

I just got a Nexus 7, it has 5 stuck pixels, so I am RMA'ing...decided to replace with the N10 because there wasn't enough difference to use the N7 when I have a GS3 with a screen only slightly over 2" smaller...

He's German?? :D

(well, almost, add a "t")

Always has been tax free here in Delawere

And you can replace Playbook with Z10 after 8 months.

Ordered mine Sunday night got it today (Thursday). Wasn't expecting that, since it says ships in 1-2 weeks.

why the fark is this not available somewhere for tax free?

Oregon

Yeah, but then I have to live in Oregon. Not a fair trade off.

I know this thread has been dead for awhile but I want to revive it with the simple question, will the N10 ever be cheaper? I really want to pick one up and am planning on it, I even have cases here waiting for it! - But I hate to pay full price with tax and shipping. We have seen so many deals on the N7, why not a single one on this?

Im on the fence too, but then I heard there's a 2nd gen nexus coming out..so that'll make the price drop for this one, eh?

One would assume but I don't believe that'll be happening till Q4, not sure I wanna wait that long. As cheap as I am, I have learned sometimes with tech you just pull the trigger and the extra money spent gives you that much time to enjoy rather than always waiting.
