Try calling Google, maybe they'd be willing to replace it as a goodwill gesture, or at least discount it?
They tell you to call Asus. Asus will not budge on the price.
Sh1tty. If they're selling it as a Google product, they should stand behind it.
Tried an LG Optimus for a couple of weeks, coming from an iPhone 4s.
Honestly, the Android was cool to begin with, but annoyances kept creeping up. Biggest one, and not really the phones fault, my corporate lock on company phones forced me to enter the passcode before I could preview text messages. On iPhone, didn't need to do that.
Minor annoyances ruined it for me. Camera sucked, was blurry and sensitive to movement. When someone would text me a photo, I couldn't save it to my phone!! It'd ask to put it as background photo for my phone or share it, no download. When answering texts, if the last keyboard option I chose was symbols, when I got a new text messages, the keyboard would pop up with symbols as well - annoying to switch back to letters. It was also too big, couldn't surf the net on it with just one hand holding it.
Pluses - the google search right in the top of the home screen was cool. Screen had great resolution, and for two handed browsing was really good. Blazing fast LTE.
I liked the idea of the widgets too.
Went back to iPhone. I'm sure there was a bunch of Android customization I missed, but in the end I...just...didn't....care..to.

Clown shoes.
Typical apple sheeple review.
When the iPad 3 came out, the guy said "nothing is more important than the display". Then for the iPad mini he says "If you’re really into the book you’re reading, you don’t think about what paper it’s printed on."
Regarding performance, again iPad 3: "Games look incredible."
iPad mini: "Not once did I feel that the mini was inadequate in horsepower. I don’t really play games on the iPad mini"
Thing about always being on the cutting edge of trends is, you have to lie to yourself a lot.
Latest iOS has this feature, had to specifically disable it, didn't want my face book friends in my address book

this thread is not for you....you are confusing yourself.
they both have their pluses, etc(notification)... although Android have an edge for sure, especially with 4.2+ OS.
the contacts thing is there for both, but easier on android, with a menu to select contact directories to use...individual or all.
"Apple is done, say teens"
Future adults allegedly believe, according to research, that Apple isn't cool any more. They're more impressed by Samsung's Galaxy and Microsoft's Surface.

If you were to be honest, we all know which smart phone platform is the real notification champ.
I switched to this phone permanently and I'm being honest. My jailbroken iPhone had better notifications.
When I get emails or texts or Facebook notifications the gnex does nothing except vibrate. My iPhone turned on the screen and actually showed some of the delivered content and allowed direct replies etc.

girlfriend's infuse 4g just plays a noise and puts a little marker up in the top left corner...
Yeah its kinda pathetic actually.
Otherwise android 4.2.1 is light years ahead of where this OS was a year ago. Its finally as smooth and responsive as iOS. Customizability is definitely a little better, and so far the bigger screen is nice. I don't keep the phone in a case so its still relatively portable.
Apps are still better in iOS though. The same apps in Android aren't as stable or nicely designed.
