The USD to CDN exchange rate is also sitting higher - it's at $1.03 or so - but with your credit card, you might be getting closer to $1.06/1.07 - which is almost like paying a second tax.

because return is a hassle if your unit is defective?

Hopefully someone that has the first gen Nexus 7 and is jumping to the new one can post up a short review for the rest of us :D

Graeme S 07-29-2013 06:11 PM
IIRC Darthchilli has one and plans to upgrade.

Bad Luck Will.. #Nexus7 boot loops on startup hahaha. time for exchange

Lomac 07-30-2013 01:13 PM
Uh oh, hope that's just a one-off problem. Was thinking of picking one up today after work, but had hoped more people would have posted their experience with it by now.

Gh0stRider 07-30-2013 03:20 PM
good thing Darthchilli didn't buy from the states....

Tim Budong 07-30-2013 03:33 PM
Damn you people hahaha. I haven't booted up the replacement. Will compare with vanilla nexus 7 4.3 when I get a chance to. So damn busy as of late

!Yaminashi 07-30-2013 08:41 PM
I've been on 4.3 for a few days. Apparently they fixed the slow down issues on the first nexus

explains why you have 3 Nexus tabs

!Yaminashi 07-31-2013 04:49 AM
The more I see the new one the more I want it. I just doubt I'd be able to sell my first gen for anything

Mine seems snappier as well.

So apparently, they added a TRIM function, which will only activate when it's either 80% battery+, or 30% and charging, AND has been inactive for at least an hour.
