i hate to start everyone's morning with a rant, pero nakakainis lang...

i recently got a Nexus 7 3G from my cousin..in just under 2 months of very light usage, suddenly the lower half of the touchscreen became unresponsive. No matter how many times i factory reset it, same problem.

After some searching, it seems a lot of people have encountered this. One even said that he's on his 4th replacement, and still there are issues.

What's more frustrating is that the 3G model was released fairly recently, so one would assume the touchscreen issues would have been resolved already...no such luck i suppose.

Now i have to look for somebody who's going to the US to have it replaced. Sucks big time. i expected this sort of crap from generic China-made products, not from Google/Asus.

i've always looked to Android-based gadgets out of principle, but i hate getting crappy stuff more. Currently looking at iPad mini prices
