I think my journey with the nexus is coming to an end.

I just can't get on with it very well, and its not able to do what I want.

Does anybody on here want it?
price?

I'm going to see if Curry's will let me return it first, as I have been informed they might take them back but cant find anything that says for certain on their website.

if not, £180 is fine

Nice one, thanks for posting that. Think I might be keeping this. IPlayer fix and the Nav free app makes this a petty useful toy.

They won't, so does anybody want to buy it before I have to eBay it?

Wondering the same but for terminal 1. I so badly wouldn't mind getting one cheaper when I fly back on the 30th.

I was all set to buy a kindle and then this came out, would I be stupid buying a kindle now? I don't have an ipad or any other tablet, just my iphone and a laptop. Off on long haul holiday soon and wondering if this would be a better idea.

What do you guys think? (gadget novice here)

I have decided that in my mind, the Nexus is a very smart Kindle equivalent (that hopefully doesn't break as often!) I would imagine the screen is no good outside though, as it doesn't go very bright

You cant watch films on a kindle....

I had the Nexus out in the garden recently and I'd say that it's too reflective to use in the sunlight for reading. The Kindle is much better in this respect.
