Do you have a Nexus 7 as well? Curious how 10 performs compared to 7.After getting my Nexus 10 32gb yesterday to go along with my other shipment earlier in the week, a little Nexus porn:
Finally picked up a Nexus 7 16GB at Staples today. Booted up and it immediately upgraded to 4.2.1 which wasn't a huge install. Performance different between it and my Nexus S is infinitely huge which is a given. I had a rooted Kindle Fire that I sold and the Nexus screen is better and it's lighter. Performance is much better too.

Consider getting a 32 GB version. I know from value point of view it's not as a good deal as the 16 GB one, but you may quickly find the 16 GB limiting. (Staples only give you 15 days for return/replacement) Interesting that you see Nexus' screen better than Kindle Fire because I thought it was the opposite. Nexus' screen is very nice for the price (esp. PPI, contrast, and black level) but its colors are way off.
On my Samsung Galaxy S II, it's like this...(I'm assuming it will be something similar in any phone)Finally got everything setup on ST. For those on here using a Nexus with ST, what are your APN settings? Do you have one or two? The guide I found suggested using one for data and one for MMS, though since I use Google Voice for everything I'm not sure if that even applies to me.

Dolphin and Chrome are the only browsers you need on Android. All others are meh.No, I do not. But I did spend a lot of time playing with a Nexus 7 at a Microcenter but that was a few months ago before the latest updates and who knows what others did to it. I found the Nexus 7 to be laggy and thus disappointing where the iPad 3rd generation next to it was silky smooth.
I've only played with the Nexus 10 for less than a day so I want to hold-off but overall I've found it to be very smooth except:
The Weather Channel app Map screen is so laggy that it's pretty much useless.
Opera Mobile not optimized for the tablet and sucks b/c of it.
Teamviewer is a little laggy but most importantly trying to move the mouse pointer around, it accidently zooms in instead.

Well, I've run into a significant issue with my Nexus 4 - one that most of you guys probably won't care about but it's a big deal to me.
The main reason that I originally bought a smartphone way way back when was effectively as an organizer. At work I have a tendency to focus on the things that I'm working on to the absolute exclusion of anything... it's one of the things that I love about my job, the days go by quickly while I'm working. But I have long had a tendency to miss meetings - even ones that I organize. But once I imported all of my meetings for the week into the calendar of my smartphone, I have pretty much never missed a meeting.
So there's an issue with Good for Enterprise (corporate email/calendar/contacts app) and Android 4.2 so that it doesn't work, and native email/calendar/contacts work with exchange but corporate security requires a PIN on phones with exchange access (not normally a problem for me I like the security), but there's an issue with lockscreen widgets being disabled and all notifications/reminders/IMs/SMS's not showing up without putting in the PIN. Notifications work fine with PIN's and 4.1, so it's a new issue with 4.2. It's this issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39998
So I'm a little stuck... I could hack the exchange app... but bypassing corporate security is grounds for immediate termination or, at bare minimum, an extremely unpleasant conversation with someone above my paygrade.. so while I briefly considered it, I've decided not to go down that path. It looks like you can add lockscreen widgets without the PIN, and then enable the PIN and they stick around... and I tried that and it works, but I still don't get any notifications.
I'm trying to decide what to do, but going back to my iPhone 5 and shelving my Nexus 4 while they fix all this is high up on my list right now.
*snip*
I am in the same boat as you but don't really understand what the bug is here. The issue is you cannot use or install lockscreen widgets if you have the pin code security mode on? I don't consider that a bug. I feel it's unfortunate and annoying but I thought it was something you gave up if you wanted a pin pad. I have a Nexus 7 with just a slide to unlock and see that I can put in widgets. When I tried the same with my GN (using 4.2, company Exchange), I could no longer add them.
pm, have you tried Touchdown? It's a really shitty interface but I wonder if it would work for you until the bug is fixed. There's a free 30-day trial on the Play Store.
chrome has and had tons of issues. its not a finished product yet.
I must be using it wrong then, cause I haven't had any.
Not as many as IE on WP7 though, I can tell you that.

This is severely pissing me off. I can't update anything on the damn thing. This on both my home network and at work. It keeps giving a Google Play server error. It's been several days now.Anyone else having problems with app updates from Google Play? I'm getting server errors.
