I had and loved both Nexus 7 models; used them for cell phones for a while, thru gVoice and wifi. They were great, with new tech. A family member still has theirs, and technically I still have mine, though with a broken screen. I used to carry it in my pocket, alright?
Nothing else has interested me since. I've got a couple of Chromebooks (one of the '17 Pixelbooks, and one from Asus) and both are 2 in 1s... they are fine, but they aren't N7s. Price went up, quality went down, up and down with no direction on wtf they were creating or the target market.
