Yeah it's free after coupon, rewards and Staples gift card. I still have $60 balance left for a new Nexus 7, but I'll wait until more discounts to purchase the new one.
You're buying an old Nexus 7? Now??
I'm still waiting to see a side-by-side photo with the current Nexus 7. Seems like everyone just wants to compare it to ipad or some other brand. I hear the new N7 is 2mm thinner, but it's got to be longer.
Frankly, I'm not seeing any reason to upgrade.
So did my 8gb Nexus 7 last September. But I never used the credit because it required a Play store account with credit card on file. D: There's no way I'm giving Google my credit card number so they can tie it in with all the other data they harvest from me.
It's $20 more...
Is it really priced too high? Where is the other 7" 1080P tablet that's priced correctly?

rewards and gift cards aren't free.
I got a free Big Mac after I gave McD's $3.

Well, someone might have given him the Staples gift card hence it being free. The rewards could be from his regular shopping habits so that could also equate to free.
Anyway, don't split hairs over what he's buying or not buying.
Someone could buy him a Nexus 7 but that wouldn't mean it was free.
I bought paper at Staples with 100% rewards for about $30. I can say the paper was free, or what I buy with the rewards is free; but they aren't both free.
They are free for me. Literally, especially since rewards expire. I will have enough to buy the new one soon.
I am Premier Platinum Member ($20K annual) so the local manager always overwrites discounts for me. I applied 2 coupons today ($30 and $25) for the old Nexus. Premier member also gets 10% back on all tablets this week.
The 16gb is $30 more than the old Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire HD. Its $100 more than the Nook HD. Its $80 more than the new Asus.
Its priced and spec'ed to appeal to geeks, not regular people. That makes it a lot different than last years release.
I'm not sure why people are upset the new N7 doesn't use the S600. I have the old 16GB N7 ($189 at Staples 3 months ago) and its not slow at all. I mainly use it for reading and web surfing, but it plays Netflix fine and my daughter plays her games (subway surfer, etc) without complaint as well. What are you doing on it that is so slow?
I love my N7 and am glad I got it. I'm envious of the new N7's back camera, but I can't have everything.
Ive only used 5 gbs of my 23 I have free (I have the OG N7 32GB)It gets horribly slow the more you install on it. It gets super laggy. You don't even have to get close to the memory limit.
You can buy Visa and Mastercard gift cards and Google will never know who you are..

Holy bezel, Batman.
That thing looks worse than most cheap Chinese tablets. What's with all that top and bottom bezel? Stats may be great, but the look is a throwback.
According to reports, the N7v2 has a slightly smaller bezel than the N7v1.

That's interesting. I wonder why?
I think the soft nav buttons and the notification bar up top may be distorting people's view of the bezel. It certainly doesn't look bigger than the old Nexus 7...
