10" device. Personally, won't touch it. Will stick with N7 and N4.

Hear with ya. I really don't use my Prime anymore. 10 inch factor just isn't for me.
Specs look amazing though. Best of luck to all of those who get one.


Wow, you guys almost make me change my mind.

NOT! :D I'm really looking forward to getting one.

I've considered getting a 15" Win 8 slate. If it was out already I might, but it's about 3 times what the Nexus 10 is.

My only complaint with the new Nexus devices is the lack of LTE. It's just my opinion, but it's a huge mistake. HSPA+ is a great technology but here in the US LTE is the 'norm'.

I understand that had they included LTE the devices would have been at least $100 more expensive but even in saying that it would have been nice if we had options. HSPA+ GSM Version & LTE CDMA Version.

Even Apple is bowing to the LTE Overlords now. Have I said LTE enough? lol LTE

I've been waiting on buying a Tablet for a long time now. I'm 80% on board with the Nexus 10 at this point. I cannot see myself spending $100 more for an iPad 4 just to get less. The Tablet specific Apps are a big draw for the iPad though.

I can't decide, 16gb or 32gb??? Can anyone give me some quick advice?

~ ArmyX


I can't decide either. I haven't come close to filling up a 16gb device. I'm not one to hoard things I don't use anymore. I've only used 6gb space on my Galaxy S2. That's about 80 apps plus 4 nandroids and assorted other files that I could just as easily store on my laptop or to the cloud.

On the other hand, I don't often have $500 to throw around and this tablet will have to last a while. I will probably have more games on it and who knows how large they may be optimized for this tablet. I would rather be future-proofed and have too much space than not enough so I'm leaning to the 32gb model.

I'm only considering the 32GB model. Cloud storage is great until you don't have access at some point. If there were a 64GB model, I probably consider that one instead. Even though I've never come close to filling up my 32GB Prime (sans movies which I keep on SD card).

Yeah on my Evo3D I have 12GB of available total space and 6.22gb Available still. Considering the OS itself is, what, 5gb? I don't use a lot lol...

I play games, browse the web. I know I would play more games on the Tablet, but even then, 16gb would probably be plenty for me. I think.

There's always that doubt, ya know? Like I will fill the 16gb and then regret not getting the 32gb.
