I bought one of the black ones.

I had issues with 2 of the nexus 4's I had so hoping the 5 will be a winner!

Yep it's an upgrade but to what? My Nexus 4 will play any Android game and run any Android app I can throw at it so I'm struggling to see what I'm getting for my three hundred quid. If you need a new phone then getting a Nexus 5 is a no brainier (it's a superb looking phone at an amazing price). But as an existing Nexus owner I can't see a compelling reason to upgrade. Roll on the Nexus 6 ;-)

I'll certainly be grabbing 4.4 as soon as it's pushed out to my phone and Nexus 7 :-)

Shinier, newer and it makes my smile.    QED.

Still no news on the new Nexus 10 though, disappointing. :sad:

Apparently It did 'accidentally' appear on google play for a few mins and the specs were displayed:

10" 2560 x 1600 gorilla glass 3
snapdragon 800 processor (same as N5)
584g weight
32GB internal storage
3GB RAM
8MP back camera, 2MP Front
9,500mAh battery
Android 4.4

If this was true, this will be out very soon.

Love the idea of a camera on a 10" tablet. Couldn't look more daft taking a picture :-)

From memory that's twenty quid more than the Nexus 4 was but with double the storage: 16 and 32 against 8 and 16. Plus Google don't rob us in the currency exchange process.

Got my shipping confirmation email for my Nexus 5 this morning, so it seems they are pumping them out well in advance of the 'by 8th November' quoted on the website.    :thumbsup:

I got mine yesterday - really nice piece of equipment only gripe is texting via the Hangout App,  sends out my group texts as MMS's for some bizarre reason.  But apart from that 110% happy i'm away from iOS

Mine is on its way too, unfortunately is Parcel force and not UPS =(.

I had a go on one today and I have to say however its not as snappy as I had hoped, definitely not two times quicker than my much loved S2 with custom firmware which I was a little dissapointed about as there are still micro lags. Its a bit of a bruiser compared to the S2 too, the screen is massive!

Looking forward to getting it and I am trying to find a decent case for it but not much luck.
