Sold my Nexus 7...a good idea?

Indeed, and look like right knob jockeys.

Off topic but...

I like the Samsung Note advert - using one as a phone is something I wouldn't be doing in public and that's only just over 5". With Skype and VOIP apps I expect some would use 10" tablets for a chat.

Me thinks 5" is just too big for a phone. A 7" is just a tad small for a tablet and 9.7" or 10" is just too big for a tablet. I suppose again this depends on your lifestyle and what you will be doing with it.

A phone is not a tablet. A tablet is not a phone. A tablet with a bigger screen is not a PC. Although those lines are getting blurry now with technology and OS features getting better.

I just think the Nexus 7 could be better.

If you search for all threads started by the OP, you will find they enjoy a good debate over nothing. Such as asking for an HDMI cable for their PS3, and turning down most/all recommendations to them - link to thread: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4205461

That thread provided me with some laughs.

Gino did you get a HDMI cable in the end ?

I just find the nexus is a perfect size for a tablet, had a touchpad for a while and although it was good I found the screen size was just too much plus the weight whereas the nexus is perfect.

But it all depends on what you expect/want from a tablet.

If i'm in the UK and at home i will be using my tablet for watching Youtube, the usual surfing, online TV (like Tv catchup), the odd reading of emails, PDF files, online radio (and listening them to my bluetooth speakers). If i'm on holiday i will also use it to watch films i've downloaded. I just think issues such as poor build quality, not-so-bright screen, weak stereo speakers and a smaller than you can see 7" screen i feel the Nexus 7 is just a tad better than an iPad mini.
