Impressions

Got my device on 21st and been using it for past 40 hours. I ot a 16GB Black version.

Some pics

Impressions

Checked for all the normal defects reported, only the power button rattle is observed that too very subtle and not annoying. I am going to leave it at that.

Likes

First thing you notice when you pick up the phone is it's weight. It's very light and not like a brick :D

Rubberised back makes it very good to hold and gives it a premium look. It is a fingerprint magnet though!

Aside that, the phone is amazingly fast.

Very crisp LCD display. My friends wow'ed at the screen (coming from Lumia 920/925/iPhone 5 owners).

Thin bezels makes it stand out from other phones and very easy to hold due to size.

Camera is good for low light and normal light as long as the object is not moving at a faster rate in low light.

New dialer is very intuitive. Pulls up nearby places' phone number which is extremely useful.

GPS locks instantaneously both indoors and outdoors.

Notification LED is a welcome addition for me who is coming from a device where notification LED is not visible at all. Light flow helps in setting different colours for different apps.

Dislikes

Auto brightness is a tad bit aggressive.

Call clarity was impressive, except for the loudspeaker the phone is good in audio department.

Icons could've been made a bit smaller to utilise the large screen estate.

If any item to be check or any aspect to be revisited for any or the device owners waiting for device feel free to ask. I will try my best to answer.

No changes in CC . i dnt think we will get a msg from bank :silly:

I also raised tht issue of FIFO, u will get a standard reply :rolleyes:

just some rumors that is it based on : 1) color and 16/32 gigs, 2) Location 3) banks through which payment was made 4) timing of order .. permutations of above 4 :eek:

file uploaded. just mentions the shipping address and order id etc , same as the first email , just adds item shipped

also Mail came to inbox

lets hope ur comes soon:fingers-crossed:

Thats my concern too, there's a very little chance of scratching, but I need a drop protection, but the review of rhinoshield is very negetive. So I am thinking of other glass protector, only Nillkin is around $11-$14, others are over $25
[Nexus 5 General] funtoosh:
Which model ?
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
I know the feeling, Keep your finger crossed.
[Nexus 5 General] Vinci12:
Thanks man..But if you go to Google Wallet...do you see you credit card transaction move from pending to processed or something like that ?
[Nexus 5 General] myth jn:
you may get it today itself given past experience with blue dart . also if nt today then Monday, thy dnt deliver on Sundays : again based on previous expr with blue dart :angel:

PS: am frm Bangalore too
[Nexus 5 General] manujosephv:
A case seems to work wonders in the cracking dept. I saw a video on youtube in which the drop test was done with a cruzerlite case..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY9Svj9fYVg

The results were pretty impressive.. didnt crack.. I've ordered a Spigen Ultra Slim case.. hope its enough..:fingers-crossed:

okay, not a problem. still fingers crossed for bluedart to get it updated
[Nexus 5 General] lalit79:
Received my 32gb black yday (I am in Bangalore). First impressions are definitely impressive. Great screen, lightweight and good form factor. Kitkat is a breeze and I think it is aided my the phones hardware as well. My previous phone is a galaxy nexus and is a definitely a huge improvement for Google. Camera is definitely good. Definitely better than galaxy nexus. Was surprised to see the caller Id functionality enabled for the Indian users and it's pretty good.

Headphones are crap though.
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
Yeah, case seems, fine unless it drops face down or in some particular angle, in that case, a glass protector absorbs the impact. I ordered a ringke slim, Dbrand skins are on the way, once i get a dbrand skin I will buy a SG Crystal shell.

You may call bluedart and tell them the tracking number, they will give you currect info abt the status.

Its bcoz they use 2 different tracking system, one internal, one for customers

problems with ARAMEX logistics

First of all thank you 2 everyone here, you all have been my source of info. for Nexus 5.

coming to my problem did anyone else get their Nexus delivered by Aramex??

i had placed my order(16gb black) on 20th November 9am.
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
People say bad things about aramax, but in Calcutta, my personal experience with them is very pleasant, I always used to get fastest delivery and very updated tracking info from them. I have also recieved a couple shipments in the evening after the item reached in Calcutta the very same day. They generally took 1/2 days max to deliver.
[Nexus 5 General] k1chy:
Yes, it was a surprise for me too.

It pulls data from Google Maps. So if it is available in GMaps, then it will be shown in dialer.

32GB Panda shipped!! Nirvana

Just got the shipping confirmation of 32gb Panda with bluedart..

Ordered on 20th 8:15AM ... and I am from Pune... yippeee!!! :laugh:

Relieved!!
[Nexus 5 General] myvijay:
Shipped

Ordered mine on 20th around 5pm through google play, received a notification at 3AM today saying it has shipped yet to have the AWS updated on blue-dart. I had been using a GNex for two years now and the case has saved me several times. I did like the spigen case for N5 but it was reported that headphones cutout was too small and it was cost around 2.5K from amazon.in so finally ordered a cruzerlite armour case on the same day, that package has arrived in my city. The case was also send on bluedart, but ebay has much more detailed shipping info about the shipment compared to bluedarts own tracking service.

Cheers

GOOGLE invents supply chain management system- RIRO (Random In Random Out)

Well it seems Google is also inventing new business supply chain strategies. 1st time ive seen people getting their orders in an order, well no one can understand. I had ordered 2 32GB black sets on 20th @ 7:07 am. Then i ordered one 32GB black using my CC for my friend at 7:47 am on a different account. Both the orders for the same location. Well she got the mail yesterday about shipping, but my first order there is no clue when that's gonna be shipped. Anybody who is also waiting who has placed the order before me all I've to say is "I KNOW THE FEEL BRO"

Does any one have a clue on " whether the blue dart guy would give the shipment to security in my office" as today we are not working , and blue dart says they will delivery before 6 pm..

Do they give the shipment to security? or do they take it back.. also will they send it back to Google?? or they re deliver or inform the same.. cnfused.. any one has any clue?? :confused::confused:
[Nexus 5 General] rohit3221:
Call blue dart and ask them to give it to the security...
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
They generally deliver to security guy if he is allowed/willing to accept. actually it depends upon the company policy. As today courier desk is closed in my office, no one will receive it. So I called the blue dart guy, he said the packet is with him, I will go near my office and he will deliver it to me directly.
[Nexus 5 General] myth jn:
thy are saying the shipment has left thr office and thy cant inform the guy r update anything! :mad:

any idea on how it deals with un delivered packages or whether they give it to security?
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
Rs 925 is pretty steep for a non branded screen protector

Anti-Shock, Explosion Proof, Crystal Clear, No Impact on Touch Sense (Thickness is two times of normal Clear screen Protectors.)

May cause touch sensitivity issue

High glossy material and transmittance up to 98-99%

Sunlight legibility might compromise and no oleophobic coating, so will b a fingerprint magnet. I won't go for it

Need Help, I am also from Bangalore waiting for the delivery and could you please give me the bluedart number?. I have tried all the numbers which they have in their website but nothing works.
[Nexus 5 General] Vinci12:
Well, I am waiting too...32 GB Black ordered at 6:09 am for Bangalore.

I have raised supply chain issue with them and this is the response I have got.

Hello Vineet,

Thanks for calling Google. I understand you are upset about the Google Play Store India's handling of its Nexus 5 shipments.

I have forwarded your concerns to our shipping department. You should receive a response from them within the next 24 to 48 hours.

If you have further questions or concerns, you may reply to this email.

Thanks for contacting Google, Vineet.

Regards,

Joanne

call 18602331234 ( only from landline, mobile wont work)

thn give thm AWB

also the sound for there toll free is very low you will have to ask them to speak up loud
[Nexus 5 General] amith_1243:
Ohh, I dont have a landline here, :( and my situation is same like yours. Have my office address for shipping and I think i will go to office and do an extra day of work. Hope I will get it delivered today or it is gonna be epic sad!:eek:

Btw, what is your status in bluedart tracking?
[Nexus 5 General] niks4101:
Congrats :) When did you receive the confirmation mail? Just curious as to when we can expect our delivery
[Nexus 5 General] Vinci12:
It could be because of the bundled order...I don't know I am just guessing.

I bundled the red bumper case with my order and i think that could be the only thing delaying my order.

Otherwise I have no clue..Now, all the excitement I had for ordering from Google Play store is gone.

I could have very well got it from US play store with my friends coming but I was excited to be part of Google Play Devices journey in India

Hence, I held on to order from Google India Play store but they don't seem to be showing any love back in return.

:crying:

To add to pain to all this, there is no method in their shipping...They would surely believe there is but even if I put my case aside, I see enough posts on forum to debate their ship by emails. I am not talking about delivery time by Bluedart as that's totally independent once they leave their warehouse.

I am contesting how they are handling shipments in the first palce.
[Nexus 5 General] myth jn:
dnt go by bluedart tracking it sucks! mine says in transit.

i called them , thy told it has left the warehouse and will be delivered for sure before 5:30 pm ! ( also if possible get to a land line and give a call , b sure whether thy are delivering today or not?)

go to office man , i dnt have that option.. stupid ofc is shutdown , some crazy power saving stuff.. :mad::mad:
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
you can do one thing, Contact the security on your office gate, instruct them to receive it, go there late in the afternoon, show them your id and pick it up.

[Nexus 5 General] SuRfeR101:
Did your tracking id get activated?? M also from bangalore. rcvd shipmnt info ystrdy eve but no updation on the trackng site yet
[Nexus 5 General] myvijay:
Unlike MotoX touchless search will only work when you are on home screen and works only if your language is US English. I did try that on my GNex with the launcher that was ripped off N5, its a cool feature but battery consumption was high and ever since I changed language back to English (Indian) it does not show up. There has also been reports of inconsistent behavior even when the language is English (US). I am not sure you would use it that much anyways since it could not recognize any of the Indian names when trying to do a call or text command.

--Vj
[Nexus 5 General] lalit79:
Make sure u select English US as the language and not India. Ok Google doesn't work with any other language
[Nexus 5 General] Vinci12:

For me on both the pages, it shouws leave warehouse.

I guess it's a matter of time before first page gets changed for you.

I believe since you got the email, it means it has shipped.
[Nexus 5 General] funtoosh:
Same here

I guess they are flooded with orders and overloaded with shipping so all this mess is caused

Since i received shipping email today, i think i'll receive it by Monday

I bought the phone from USA playstore like may of us.

Can somebody confirm of the LTE technology of USA will be delivered of the one which supports India or dual.

Both countries run on different LTE.

Requesting OP to pls mention in original post that this is to be confirmed. Else it's just waste to buy from USA just to save 3-4k
[Nexus 5 General] jcgtreize:
Don''t know the LTE bands you are using (it seems youre on band 3 & 40). Here in France were running for now the bands 3, 7 & 20 : we cant use the Nexxus 5 made for the States
[Nexus 5 General] ShankyJain:
Thanks. I got it confirmed an hour back and cancelled my order. Band 3 isn't expected to be widely uses as much as 40. This makes even Indian version which supports Band 3 and not 40 useless.
[Nexus 5 General] jcgtreize:
There are some things I can't understand :

According to Google, the indian Play Store sells the Nexus 5.

According to Wikipedia the LTE bands 3 & 40 are (or will be) used in India.

But the LTE band 40 isn't supported by the Nexus 5 :

Nexus 5 north america :

GSM : 850, 900, 1 800 & 1 900 MHz

CDMA : bands 0, 1 & 10

WCDMA : bands 1/2/4/5/6/8/19

LTE : bands 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41

Nexus 5 rest of world :

GSM : 850, 900, 1 800 & 1 900 MHz

WCDMA : bands 1/2/4/5/6/8

LTE : bands 1/3/5/7/8/20
