I love the display, but overall, i think for what i paid it is a hell of a tablet!
Any glaring issues i should be aware of?
No, it is a great little device. I have both the 10.1 and 7 inch models and like both.
Good to hear, the only real concern i have is a slight creaking in the case near the connector port.
Otherwise, the display is amazing.

I've been debating on the transformer or the Xoom....
now that the Xoom has SD access, will custom roms be next? Or is something still missing?
Yes, AFAIK still HC missing source code, although bits are starting to come out.
ugh I guess ill keep waiting...
Why wait once source gets released I'm sure the xoom will be the more worked on device
Who knows, alot of people were saying they were returning their Xooms

And a lot aren't
But the Transformer needs the source code as much as the Xoom does... so... it depends which one sells more and the Xoom has a head start.

Most if not all of the people returning the Xoom for a Transformer are doing so because of such minor issues, which will be resolved soon anyway. Getting the Transformer for the keyboard dock is stupid IMO. Congrats, you just bought a very expensive netbook.

Or you know.. Because it has a significantly better screen. Oh and wait, it's cheaper than the Xoom with a keyboard! Even if you don't use the keyboard, you still have it. Unless I'm mistaken and it doesn't come with the keyboard, because I have been not caring about the thing at all lol.

Mainly the SD card not working. But also things like the UI lags, there aren't enough apps, its heavy (I know, not fixable). Crap like that.
And the keyboard for the Transformer is $150 I believe.
People choose Transformer because it has better IPS screen and cheaper, and that's important.

Hmm. I'm not trying to be dense here but for me at least, the IPS screen is not better. Going by the iPad screen anyway, for reading it's not that great, and that's a major part of what I'll be doing with the Xoom.

This is simply a lie coming from someone who owned both and now only Xoom. I pad screen is better at everything. Its brighter AND crisper so how can't u read?
Well, no it's not a lie. Thanks for calling me a liar though.
I've read on the iPad and it was OK but not brilliant, the letters just don't "pop" like they do in a book or ereader. I haven't seen a Xoom yet but I've been led to believe by reviews that it's better for reading than the iPad.
My opinion: the ipad is too bright, even when its toned down. Especially if your in bed at night try to not wake up the person next to you or land air planes on your bed.

The tab 10.1 covers the entire usable screen and cut for ebb the camera, but not the sensor.
That's suitable for me for now, but only if the pen works.
I guess no one has tried, ill be doing it this weekend and report back.
I went to get it put on day before yesterday. They didn't have any for the Note yet, so they "custom cut" one and put it on. It's for an iPad, so it has a big hole where the iPad button is and a small one where the iPad camera (?) is. Otherwise, it's fine. They'll swap it out for free when they get a Note one in.
I like it better with the stylus than the naked screen. I have GA on my phone, too, so I actually compared "writing" on my phone (with GA) to the bare Note screen before I got the GA. I liked it better then, so it's not just a case of liking it now because I spent money on it.
I used to have the 16gig Nexus and recently got the 32, I know this sounds crazy, but the new one feels heavier. Am I the only one?
You should delete some stuff from the sdcard. That should make it lighter.

We have 3 nexus in my house a 16 gig, 32gig and a 32gig with 3g and they all feel the same. Did you buy your first nexus from Google when they first released? It may be that since those were first run parts something may have changed on the newer ones

IMO, they should sort the availability problem first, as there's still not enough phones, and the cheapest you can get it is >500€ (about $660 usd) in some countries.
That's maybe what they are doing atm, they release the Orb when the not-in-stock situation has settled down a bit..

Well, I suppose that is made clear by the use of the word "yet."
That's pretty cool considering it goes under the battery cover and is from Samsung. It isn't a case or some other external addon that changes the size of what's in your hand.
