If you originally purchased the 32GB, it means you want the 32GB over the 16GB. Don't go for CPW just because it is available now, you will regret it once the Nexus 5 hype dies down and you are left 16GB less. Use the extra time to your advantage, buy some cases, read up on decent apps for the phone, etc. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
well yours is being shipped from london so you might get it today

Still sure it means delivered to Parcel force tho
[Nexus 5 General] 3Shirts:
I'm actually glad they won't deliver it tomorrow. I put my work address for delivery and there won't be anyone here tomorrow!
[Nexus 5 General] DHTC:
My order went through at 18:18 and mines still pending. This is for a white 32gb model.
[Nexus 5 General] 666fff:
:0

Hmmm..
[Nexus 5 General] Davies_90:
Cpw have it on sale right now for £295. :)
[Nexus 5 General] textus:
Anyone knows if I should buy the phone from CPW or Play Store? Anyway does CPW have stock now? It still says pre-order on their website. Will it be remotely cheaper to ship it over from the US by any chance?

Whats the difference if any between ordering via CPW and Play?
[Nexus 5 General] 666fff:
You save delivery cost by ordering it from CPW. Google charges ten squids. But, you can only get the 16gb pauper's version from CPW (/s).
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
if you want it now or next week is the only difference....and not paying P&P swell of course (also your warranty will be with CPW swell) ring your local store see if they have any.

Oh! and 32gb is exclusive to the play store or O2 (O2 overcharging like crazy tho)
[Nexus 5 General] DHTC:
And a few seconds later posting the above, as if by magic I have just recieved an email saying its shipped. Has been at the London depot since 12:32
[Nexus 5 General] Matchstick:
I'd suggest not importing from the US. It looks like the US gets a different version to the rest of the world with different frequency support which means it won't support 4G in the UK/Europe
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
If it were coming today.. would it not have had another update since 9 this morning?

Its strange I though everyone's was coming from London north west depot??
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
No idea! I only say you might get yours today since your location says your on london and it's shipping from there xD

Mine won't be here till monday unless they deliver tomorrow due to that ocean in the way
[Nexus 5 General] summer_love:
Parcelforce tracking still isn't working for me yet :(
[Nexus 5 General] Jazd71:
Just picked mine up from cpw sim free now then play starts, build quality is looking good, screen very crisp, browser fast as heck faster than my HTC one. Looking good so far!
[Nexus 5 General] vido.ardes:
Yes CPW have stock, my local had at least 4. They are the same units as from the Google Play Store, absolutely zero differences, and CPW are selling it for £4 less than the play store SIM free. No it won't cheaper or quicker to ship from the US.
[Nexus 5 General] dunjamon:
Oh no...I won't cancel it. I've already ordered some screen protectors and a case...still waiting for them to be dispatched too. I'll be waiting for 4.4 to be rooted before I properly use it anyway.

My N4 looks old now. Lol!
[Nexus 5 General] finesse:
Just purchased from a cpw store, so far so good. Now charging
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Where does yours say it is then?

I hope mine gets here tonight, but i think we are running out of day (delivery timeslots ended) and its not moved all day, according to the tracking anyway.
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
it's been rooted already, Chainfires Autoroot is setup and working :)
[Nexus 5 General] theoneofgod:
It's already rooted.
[Nexus 5 General] textus:
Oh I see! I am actually going for the 16GB model, so it seems CPW is the better choice if I have a local store that has stock near me.

Just a question, how will the play store warranty work? Do I have to send the phone at my own cost back to google which would take longer than going down to a CPW shop? I'm trying to see which warranty would be more convenient and better in a sense.
[Nexus 5 General] theoneofgod:
You don't pay to return a defected phone back to Google.
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
mine's last and only scan atm is london west like yours and nothing else :S they deliver upto 5:30 you;d think courier dispatch from london to london would be same day lol
[Nexus 5 General] Matchstick:
I think a large batch of orders where picked up by ParcelForce and checked into the depot at 12:32 but it's taking some time for Google to get all the shipped emails out - my delivery arrived at the depot at the same time and I got my shipping email at 13:32.
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
I believe Google pay for faulty returns it might be easier getting another there because who knows how long CPW will have stock of the nexus :S
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Yeh I really dont get it.. I live literally 40mins to an hour away from the depot.. its been at the depot since 9:30.. why don't I have it already.. :(

EDIT

I say 40 mins away.. more like an hour and a half but still

[Nexus 5 General] gilljoy:
Mine just got posted.

Anyone know if Parcelforce deliver tomorrow? I'm guessing not :(
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
I assume not, they do deliver on Saturdays but its normally costs more, who knows if Google payed for it or not though.
[Nexus 5 General] lennshow66:
We will just all have to sit tight until monday!
[Nexus 5 General] theoneofgod:
They should considering the price paid for postage. But they won't :)
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Yes, im rather annoyed if im honest, I expect fast delivery from a company as large as Google. Especially for £10 and just a shame CPW dont sell the 32GB sim free.. damn O2..
[Nexus 5 General] Yeyinde:
21:06 last night.
[Nexus 5 General] Takulas:
heard stories about the phone getting hot on wireless charger. Is it true?
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
Mine just shipped from play store. 16gb white.

Now, am I correct in thinking that Play will just replace device any time while warranty is valid and cpw will make you send it to LG? If so, extra cost is worth it.

Sent from N4 ?
[Nexus 5 General] 666fff:
Wireless charging is inefficient. Tons of energy is wasted. It comes out as heat. So it's normal. Nothing to worry about.
[Nexus 5 General] temka:
Mine is still 'pending', ordered this morning at ca 11'ish....

All I can do now is just go to the My Orders page and do
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Wireless charging is less efficient than normal charging and generates extra heat, but normal charging also generates heat too, Its nothing to worry about ;)

I wouldn't bother.. all they will give you is 'shipped' and a tracking code that shows you that the phone has moved absolutely nowhere in a whole day ;)
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
Ohhhh

Just got the shipping email.

UK - White 32GB - 18:06 order

Email at 5pm - yet tracking number shows it to be in London with ParcelForce at 1pm, so don't worry if you haven't got your email yet - it could still be despatched.

Status: Delivered (lol)
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
Guys, anyone re warranty?

Sent from N4 ?
[Nexus 5 General] ben_90:
Just a quick question. Bought a black Nexus 5 16GB last night at 18:07, still pending btw...

Anyway, does the Nexus 5 lock to the first sim card you put in? I'm currently on Orange but looking to switch networks, so will it be locked to Orange if I put one of their sim's in it first?
[Nexus 5 General] chistery:
No.
[Nexus 5 General] djnewt:
You can swap different sim cards in the phone anytime you like, it wont lock to just Orange.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
I have the same. Anyone else wondering why the just appear in north west London on the tracking?
[Nexus 5 General] summer_love:
Is anyone else having issues with the parcelforce tracking?

eta: as in not working at all
[Nexus 5 General] OneChance:
Got mine from CPW

Hi guys,

I got mine today from CPW 16GB £295, I will report soon on how I find it!
[Nexus 5 General] chistery:
Yes, tracking email received at 10:30, still not showing up.
[Nexus 5 General] lennshow66:
Yeah i got my email early this morning still the tracking number doesn't work
[Nexus 5 General] Takulas:
Thanks guys.

Ordered yesterday 2 x N5 16GB at 18:04 and just got email confirmation at 17:10: "Collected from customer - London North West Depot"

I had a Note 1 before. Lost it. :)

I`m really curious about the screen and stock android experience.

Have to say the phone is beautiful. Anxious to get my hands on it.
[Nexus 5 General] summer_love:
glad it's not just me, but it's probably driving you crazy too haha
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
Damn i'm annoyed I ordered in a rush and got the black xD
[Nexus 5 General] summer_love:
same here, it's been over 8 hours now :/
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
It seems many peoples tracking numbers don't work, and those that do we all see it has randomly appeared in London with 'collection from customer' and no other details right.. has anyone with a tracking code got anything else?
[Nexus 5 General] Source_code:
5th Novembe

I joined the party 6.38 GMT...By then the Black 32GB - shipping has slipped to "5th November"

I'm patiently waiting for my order status to change from "pending", so in the meanwhile...I'm looking for a case.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Same here, got email with tracking nr this morning 9am, number doesn't work at all..
[Nexus 5 General] ben_90:
Thanks very much.

Sorry if the question sounded a little stupid, I've just escaped from Apple's walled garden ;)
[Nexus 5 General] ehcool:
Mine is still saying pending and i ordered at 19:38 White 16GB
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
SPIGEN Neo Hybrid - Wouldn't bother with any other case, very premium feel and good protection.
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
Mine is the same with collected at London warehouse or words to that effect, don't know what they are hanging for as such, my house is only about 70 miles from Central London too so they could easily get it down here for tomorrow if they wanted to...
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
Nope - same for mine. lol :)
[Nexus 5 General] finesse:
Just cancel your order from Google, to buy directly from cpw
[Nexus 5 General] faultytowersdude:
Mmmm mines still pending bought 18.30 last night the 31st
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Same here. Im a one hour drive from the depot.. crazy... seems Google sure know how to annoy their customers... I just hope they paid for Saturday delivery and it turns up tomorrow, else im going phone them up and get very angry. CPW are doing a better job at distribution than Google and its bloody cheaper there too!!!
[Nexus 5 General] johhn:
got my tracking number two hrs ago, the tracking number worked straight away as the time was recorded around lunch time.

I called the local depot and was told it'd take 24 hrs for the item to be ready for delivery, so I asked if I could pop in to collect on Sat, then bloke on the phone said no, no collection allowed. so I guess I'll have to wait til monday.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
As ive said more than once, yes great idea.. but i want a 32GB. Else I would have been at my local CPW when they opened this morning
[Nexus 5 General] temka:
Shipped!!!!11one

Interestingly, a colleague of mine ordered the same one (32Gb white) a couple of hours ago and got it shipped 15 minutes before me (imagine how I felt during those 15 mins..).

PS: Yes, the GPlay order status says 'Delivered' - strange, I know.

PPS: Yes, the ParcelForce tracking page is down for me, too - strange, I know.
[Nexus 5 General] Menschik:
Picked up N5 16GB this morning from CPW in Welwyn garden city. The lady was very nice, said I was the first one to get it from them. Can't complain, everything as expected, she even said they can exchange it once, if I decide to go for the white one for example. How cool is that!
[Nexus 5 General] lombardo8:
Item: 2 black 16GB Nexus 5

Ordered: 31/10 18:07

Shipped: 01/11 17:31

I also have another order with CPW for a black 16GB one and I have just received a further email from them but it doesn't say much.

I am just going to hold tight and see which I get first then I'll refuse the other.
[Nexus 5 General] dannstarr:
Guys, the parcelforce tracking info is notoriously bad... i've had a few experiences with it.

I've had things delivered, before they have even updated that they have it.

Also, with it sat at their north west london depot, from memory, they don't deliver it from here. At that location they will have just picked up a great load of things from all of their customers... in our case google. From here they have to sort out what goes where, and depending on your location, it goes on to another "delivery" depot... its from there one of their drivers gets it on their round, where they then seem to aimlessly drive around the country while you flail in desperation until around 6pm when you inevitably call them to find out when they will be there.... to be told that their driver ran out of time / broke down, and will be with you the following day
[Nexus 5 General] erp2:
I don't understand why we had to pay £10 to have parcelforce just sit on the parcels. Mine's been stuck at the north west london depot since 7.12am this morning. Surely £10 would get us a decent courier like UPS or DPD...bah. And apparently they don't even do Saturday delivery, just to add to the frustration.
[Nexus 5 General] dannstarr:
They are not just sitting on it... they are sorting it to go to a delivery depot... just because their tracking system doesnt update, it doesn't mean nothings happened... they are just that bad with updates
[Nexus 5 General] 12SCooke:
I have one question from myself actually. How/is it possible to transfer my text messages from my Nexus 4 Messaging app too Google Hangouts. Previously I was able to use something like SMS Backup & Restore if i needed to restore my text messages to the Messaging app. But this no longer works with Hangouts.

Any help??
[Nexus 5 General] Takulas:
I`ve got my email confirmation at 17:10 and it was at London North West Depot at 12:59. So, it`s not a real time tracking system, that`s for sure. :)
[Nexus 5 General] dannstarr:
Although, I have also ordered many things from Japan (I like g-shock watches) and its great to watch the updates from those guys... theres no messing, fast updates that its arrived at their post office, that its at the airpoort, its flying out, its landed, etc, and all really fast... you can literally see your parcel flying around the world. I think it was like 1 day from posting until arrival in the uk... and sadly, thats where it all goes wrong. no updates, and took 3 further days before i rang parcel force for them to then tell me its held for customs charges. Im not sure how long it would have taken for them to tell me
[Nexus 5 General] dk206:
By how much? 5 pounds? They only have the 16GB models. I ordered mine yesterday and got an email at 5pm today saying shipped. It is sitting at a warehouse at London South west. Being delivered by parcel force.

Does anyone know if parcel force delivers on Saturday? It says only on sat if you pay 12pounds extra fee

IS google shipping a 'special delivery'?

10pounds is too steep. Greedy buggers
[Nexus 5 General] Kid_droid:
Come on guys. They said to be delivered by the 5th so why harass Google staff if your phone comes on Monday the 4th. I don't wanna use my phone until I get my cases and screen protectors. So think about doing that in the mean time. I for one didn't go carphone warehouse cors I wanted a 32gb anyways. I think warranty wise it will be easier to deal with Google directly.

Mean time. Anyone know any decent insurance covers out there?
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
i'm not expecting mine to update until it reaches the depo here normal for delivery from london to here.

funny tho cause if it was sent by royal mail they'd deliver tomorrow lol
[Nexus 5 General] Kid_droid:
Is it possible to back up the hangouts app and data on the nexus 4 using romtoolbox or TB then using root browser or something copy the folder into your new N5 . I think you might need root which I heard has been found.
[Nexus 5 General] bazzawhite:
Got the same collection from customer tracking info. Maybe Google is the customer and they have passed it to parcel force. Anyway it should arrive well before the 5th as estimated by Google.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
well before the 5th? that means they have tomorrow to deliver it then because i dont regard the 4th as 'well before' the 5th
[Nexus 5 General] supercakefish:
Mine has been shipped by parcelforce! Do they do Saturday deliveries? I have to be out of the house for 2 hours Monday afternoon, that's all. Can you do that thing where you choose the exact window of delivery by SMS on the day of delivery?
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
They do deliver on weekends but I doubt google have paid the extra charge for that. And no, parcel force are notoriously rubbish at deliverys.. which is bad really as its their one and only job
[Nexus 5 General] erp2:
SMS? window? no, parcelfarce do not live in the 21st century.

Just to put things into perspective, by looking in the Italian thread, from the depot in Holland to Italy via UPS, most phones will be delivered on Tuesday. parcelfarce from north west london depot to london (maybe 3 miles distance), delivery on Monday. Good choice Google, £10 well justified :good:
[Nexus 5 General] tosin01:
Got a shipping notice for my wife's 16 white one even though I ordered my 32 gb black an hr before.:crying:
[Nexus 5 General] supercakefish:
Maybe I should move my driving lesson to Wednesday then just to make sure I don't miss delivery? What's chance that they deliver 1pm-3pm Monday?
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
I had to move my driving lesson so I was in for delivery too :P
[Nexus 5 General] Lewey22B:
Ordered a Black 32GB at 18:12 yesterday, still pending.

Rather Jealous of all these shipping people, could be because I'm in Glasgow. Might be prioritising different areas
[Nexus 5 General] Audioboxer:
Anyone had a carphone warehouse internet order dispatched? Paying £295 all in for the 16GB was too good to pass on.
[Nexus 5 General] xgraphy:
Just got back from Nottingham with my 16gb Panda.

CPW in the Victoria Centre said they were holding them back for sale with contracts only.

I tried the store on Albert Street and got the last one with no challenge.

If you are going into the centre tomorrow, try your luck; but I doubt they will have anything in stock for SIM free.
[Nexus 5 General] supercakefish:
I have moved my driving lesson to the end of the week - so I should be available for delivery; whether that be Monday or Tuesday :)

I'll test that it works for a few days then trade in my Nexus 4 in CEX. I'll be sad to see it go, but it is necessary to subsidise the cost of the Nexus 5 - I did the same thing to my Galaxy S2 last year when I fist got the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 5 General] lennshow66:
How much do you think you'll get in CEX for it?
[Nexus 5 General] Audioboxer:
You'll get more selling it to a phone recycling site online.
[Nexus 5 General] i860:
When i bought my n5 it was 8th of Nov for dispatching, but now surprise n5 has been dispached and is in London North West Depot, i think i will have my n5 on Monday.
[Nexus 5 General] cmit37:
I tried both CW shops in Lakeside, Essex at 10 am and both said they were only selling on contract. I placed an order on the internet woth CW at 10:20am. Only received one email. When I called them at 18:00 they had no trace of my order but they said they had over 1000 in stock. He put me through to sales and after 30 mins I gave up. I placed another order online, again a single email confirmation. Not holding my breath that they have received my order the second time. :(
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
A grade A unlocked nexus 4 at cex is worth 145 apparently

Edit-£147
[Nexus 5 General] PhilipL:
Hi

Same here, was due for dispatch by the 5th November, now in London North West Depot on it's way, so looks like Monday for me too.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 5 General] dannstarr:
you will also get near £200 selling it on ebay
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
Plus eBay fees... Might actually not be worth the hassle
[Nexus 5 General] i860:
O2 is selling the n5 32gb for 529.99
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Sell it on eBay. Sold mine for £235, but £200 after fees and delivery.
[Nexus 5 General] HiddenAdmiral:
This; I ordered my 32gb black N5 relatively late yesterday (20:08 GMT) when the Google Play website said 'Leaves warehouse on 8th November". However, I just got an e-mail confirmation saying my order has shipped. Following my tracking number puts it at the London North West Depot as of 18:15, similar to others on here. Monday delivery seems most likely, though a Saturday one would be a nice surprise.
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
That's a really good price.... Don't understand it though wasn't it cheaper on play before the 5 came out
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Was out of stock. Also I threw in a few gimmicks like anti-glare screen protector and some cases, made my listing look good :)

That said, I'm sure you can still flog it for £200ish on eBay. Still a bargain for what it's worth.
[Nexus 5 General] MrPhilo:
My Nexus 5 32gb Black has been shipped today around 17:30, should get it on Monday or Tuesday :D!
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
Maybe Google had a deal with PF to ship Saturdays - or maybe PF will ship them Saturdays anyway due to hopefully the large amount of deliveries they have to make.

Ill hope until beyond 3pm lol
[Nexus 5 General] kofiaa:
Hi everyone...got myself a white N5 16gb.... now waiting to sell my N4 on eBay lol.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Dude, if you can make it accross the river the CPW in Chatham has stock. Just if you were wondering.
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
My local CeX says they only give phones that come with at least 2 Accessories as grade A so be aware of that (mean cases and stuff)
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
Has anyone made calls with the new Nexus 5 yet?

I saw on another forum that mentioned the person on the other end of his phone call could barely hear him.
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
Oh I'm not selling mine, just thought someone wanted to know
[Nexus 5 General] supercakefish:
My Nexus 4 has that crackily earpiece problem that affected many of the phones at launch. I'm sure the NEXUS 5 will be better.

£147 for a grade A Nexus 4 at CEX. Just nice to go and get money the same day, not have to bother with hassle of setting up delivery.
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
Ah no sweat figured i'd give a heads up anyway

How that company is still going i'll never know
[Nexus 5 General] vido.ardes:
Maidstone had a few as well, depending on how far you want to go
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Ok good news guys, after doing some digging I found google are using the Express 24h service by parcel force..

http://www.parcelforce.com/send-uk/non-account-services/next-day-delivery/prices

This means not only has google ripped us off on the postage, as I could buy it as an individual for £8 they have also NOT paid the Saturday delivery charge..

Im very disappointed with google right now. :mad:
[Nexus 5 General] milesg:
Just the luck of the draw I think. I ordered a black 32Gb 18:11 yesterday, got a shipping confirmation about an hour ago and I'm in Carnoustie.
[Nexus 5 General] Sarg92:
I ordered a Nexus 5 from Carphone Warehouse this afternoon. At around 17:00, I got an email saying they have cancelled my order

"Thank you for placing an order recently with Carphonewarehouse.com. Unfortunately, on this occasion we have been unable to continue with your request for a purchase and the order has now been cancelled. We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes."

Absolute load of ...!!!

Ordered another on their website a few minutes ago with expected delivery of 6th November - that's if they accept my order!!
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
I don't expect Google to pay for Saturday delivery as in I think they are a bit tight on that, however I'm open for them to be proved wrong as they may have done a deal with Parcel Force, who knows with trade/business deals.

Would be a bit annoying not to get it for the weekend though.
