Google
Gaffes: Nexus 7
**** #1 - the
packaging review!
I was excited to receive my shiny new
Google / Asus Nexus 7, which most people will k**w by **w is a high spec and great value 7" tablet using the open source
Android operating system.
But I will admit, I had to get a strong 5' 7" tall friend to help push the inner box out of the sleeve. It was such a tight fit, I just couldn't do it by myself! I'm only 5' 2", and **t the strongest of females. I didn't get
wrap rage, but only because I managed to get help with the unpackaging.
The earlier stages of the unboxing weren't easy either. Luckily, I keep a trusty
Stanley knife within easy reach of both kitchen and living room. I never unbox without it! But it couldn't help with the part where I had to somehow slide the inner box out of the sleeve. Thank goodness for strong friends!
I felt a little bit better when I saw that I wasn't the only customer who struggled - eg this
Atlantic Wire article linked to
from Slashdot. (And
montage of unboxing troubles, embedded below!)
