So, a friend is coming to India from USA in the second week of December. Now, I would of course want to buy the Nexus 4 but it looks impossible to score a unit in the next 10 days or so. The next best option is Nexus 7 or Nexus 10. Or even a Chromebook. Nexus 10 is around 400 dollars which makes it an expensive purchase for me (considering I am in a financial mess). So, the best possible option is getting one of the variants of Nexus 7. Variants: 16GB, 32GB, 32GB+3G. I am tempted to go for the cheapest version. Though price different is not that big of an issue. 100 dollars more I get double storage and 3G support (might help in resale value? :P ). Based on my experience, Android devices have crappy resale value so it make little sense to go for an expensive variant even though the price difference is hardly 5000 rupees. I do not expect to watch movies on the tablet though I might. 12GB would be good enough for a bunch of movies if I am out traveling. Want to discuss if there is a good reason to go for the 32GB version or the 3G edition. Also, what else can I get him to bring me? :D I usually would have thought about a media player device but I do not own a TV and do not intend to buy one. Damn confusion. If only Nexus 4 was readily available. :D I would not pay premium for the T-Mobile version.Should add here that I already have a 3G plan on my phone (with its own range of issues!). So, I can always tether in times of need. I would not like to pay for another 3G sim.Tempted to order a SSD... Though it would be a pain to switch my current install to the new SSD. :\
 
Well the thing is that hard disks came with 5 years warranty till some while ago. Things have changed a lot in the recent times. One or two year warranty is all there is left. So, if you bought a 100-200GB HDD few year ago, you are unlikely to find a 100-200GB HDD as replacement because they are probably not available at all.
 
I strongly feel that u better go to 7inch 2G model bcz it has 32GB storage space + 3G, the fact is that 32GB wifi model cost u $250, so u will be paying another $50 which is very good option.Edit: I also saw in play store that they will be shipping the phone after 6 weeks for 16GB model n 8weeks for 8 GB nexus 4 model. wtf???
 
32gb + 3g makes sense. 50$ for 3G is nearly equal to that of a high speed dongle :P. Totally worth it IMO.
 
16gb would work fine for you if you dont plan on loading a lot of games and movies.
 
16GB is enough IMO too...I have a Tab with 16 gigs..and a external add up of 16 Gigs more...And i hardly use up that 16 Gigs.. -_-The external card is merely a show off...
 
3G is so expensive if you are going to use it on a tablet :D i guess would get the 32GB 3G version. :\ maybe someone would have a use for it once i get tired of this device.
