[Nexus 5 General] coleshill121:
Picked mine up this morning. O2 didn't have 32gb so went with 16gb from CPW and we'll see if it's adequate.

Can't get the 'OK, Google' to work for those asking, nor can I see any options for it... Think it's the same situation as the Nexus 4 which is a shame. Let me know if you find otherwise!
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
Any white ones been sent out yet?

I've still yet to see any promo vids or user images of the white one - its always just renders.
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Of course it's removable! Hope you weren't being serious...
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
Looks like a sticker to me...(no I don't have one, it's a photo from Pocket Lint)
[Nexus 5 General] chandlerweb:
Got my SIM-free Nexus 5 This morning from Carphone Warehouse :)

The first CPW I went into, they told the guy in front of me that they can only sell it on contract at the moment. So I went to the next CPW store, literally just a few hundred yards away, and they sold me the SIM free version no problem. Felt sorry for the guy that was in front of me.

Briefly.
[Nexus 5 General] lennshow66:
100% removable
[Nexus 5 General] Higgsy:
Uk guys get yourselves down to carphone warehouse, my local one (oldbury, west midlands) had 10 of each white/black 16GB. and the bonus is they are only £295!

Currently setting mine up now :)
[Nexus 5 General] shr33kant:
It's 100% a sticker. It was on the nexus 4 bought last year, it comes right off ^_^. Just ordered mine from CPW online because I tried to buy one in store and they told me they were only selling them on contract and I had to order it online :-|. I guess they didn't want that juicy commission after all...
[Nexus 5 General] steslatt:
Thanks, I thought that would be the case. Don't know why there is no option for this in the UK, its 2 words!? Come on Google.

Is the status bar transparent on the lock screen?
[Nexus 5 General] Barff1984:
My 32gb White has just been shipped, according to google play store.

Which is nice...

annoyingly i'm going away for the weekend so i wont be here if it's delivered tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 General] steslatt:
It will be Monday
[Nexus 5 General] Kid_droid:
I went to CEX to trade my Nexus 4 and they said we can't take it in because it doesn't have the serial sticker on the back. Wtf? Who keeps that **** on a beautiful back of a fresh phone.

Mine has been shipped also :) I assume for Monday delivery.
[Nexus 5 General] big_b0sss:
Stupid Google won't let me cancel my order?
[Nexus 5 General] krs360:
I ordered from CPW online on an o2 contract at 9:12 this morning, got a confirmation of order email but haven't had confirmation the order has been processed yet.

Anyone know how long it takes? I don't want them to run out of stock while it's being processed!!
[Nexus 5 General] steslatt:
Pretty sure it will still be Monday but ring them and ask if you want to find out for sure.
[Nexus 5 General] tim440:
I'm in Spain and ordered mine last night. It's showing as pending and I've had no delivery notice, but they've taken payment already.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Got mine :)
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Im in the same boat as you. I live only 40 mins from the depot.. is there a chance it could come today or tomorrow?
[Nexus 5 General] podge13:
Gargh, I think I'm in some sort of limbo guys.

I managed to get my order in for a 32gb black at 18:00:33 GMT according to my order confirmation email (super fast right?) and yet I still have no shipping email.

My status on the play store says "Leaves warehouse by 5 November 2013." but when I click the "Info" button the status says Pending. I've checked my wallet as well, that also says Pending. Sad times.
[Nexus 5 General] ricey1986:
Mine says the same, they don't update until they ship the item
[Nexus 5 General] Konstigt:
When is your order placed? Mine is:

Order date: 31-Oct-2013 20:44:05 GMT

I guess the ones already shipped was ordered just after release.

[Nexus 5 General] FirmShark:
Mines was at 21:21 GMT. Should hopefully hear soon :)
[Nexus 5 General] r0cafella:
Got mine too and ignore what the verge says.

This thing is mindblowingly quick!

I'll take some sample photos at some point today and start a pictures thread
[Nexus 5 General] big_b0sss:
Mate I've got mine too how do you feel about vibration on the phone I feel cheap not sold as my gs4 also volume not the best bit low
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Ordered at 18:00:31

Shipped status was updated around 8AM this morning
[Nexus 5 General] dasaf:

[Nexus 5 General] Konstigt:
Haha, thats fast!
[Nexus 5 General] Blocoholi:
Mine hasn't shipped yet... but I also live in south london and I would have all day long to go to mitcham and collect it myself..
[Nexus 5 General] adamw:
Got mine from CFW in Wokingham this morning. 295 is a bargain. Hard to justify buying it when my nexus 4 is still mint, but who cares!
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Yeh, well I did have 4 tabs auto refreshing constantly, two apps on my phone and a python script to order it for me ;)

*hangs head* jesus im such a geek..
[Nexus 5 General] :
Its okay for me quiet strong. Only thing I dislike is the plastic sides.. Feels cheap but can't complain for the price. Sound is crap compared to my 5S though.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
I would have done the same.. but no CFW's near me had any stock
[Nexus 5 General] Natakranta:
I'm on the same boat with you, though I ordered few minutes later. 32gb black as well.

I thought it's due to ordering to Parcel Motel in NI and using Irish credit card (but with parcel motel address and verified by Google month ago). It's raising my hopes that UK buyer has the same problem. I so much want it to go through.
[Nexus 5 General] 3Shirts:
Ordered 18:07:17 yesterday and got my shipping confirmation at 09:42 this morning.

Tracking number not working yet of course but I'm hopeful for Monday or Tuesday
[Nexus 5 General] adamw:
I tried Bracknell first, which is much larger, but they had no stock. Wokingham branch is tiny. They had three in stock, probably 2 left...

Feels really nice in the hand.

Now, what to do my nexus 4??
[Nexus 5 General] Deeco7:
Due for and upgrade from EE, perfect time to switch to Three (3)? Unlimited 4G!! hopefully signal had improved....

via Nexus 4
[Nexus 5 General] Lawliet:
I should probably head down to a CPW and try out the white version first and cancel my order if it's ugly. I could wait for the phone, since there will be more cases and screen protectors by then.

EDIT: Oops, looks like Google was faster than me:
[Nexus 5 General] t0ph0id:
Can anyone confirm if there's any rattle from the camera sensor like there was on the Nexus 4?
[Nexus 5 General] gingerneil:
I had a play with one in the local CPW this morning - the assistant had to get the demo out of the back room for me as it wasnt on the shelf yet! Feels lovely, and I am 99% sure I will swap my Note2. One reservation though is with USB OTG. Hope it works fine out of the box for mass storage so that I can live without an SD card slot, and that I can get USB ethernet working (I dont have a 801.11ac WAP yet) like I did on the Note2 for big movie files.....
[Nexus 5 General] MA3STRO:
Good to hear that some people have had their devices today. That means we should see a lot of reviews over the next few days.

I'm still sitting on the fence. I had placed an order for the 32GB black but then it came up the 8th for delivery. At £350 for the 32GB, I'm swaying towards paying £399.99 for the LG G2 (via eBay). Stock Android is very tempting, though the camera and battery on the LG G2 are better (apparently).

Would love to see some photos from the Nexus 5 in low light. Still tempted to place an order today as a phone with no bloatware is ideal.

Congrats to those of you who have had their delivered. What's your initial impressions? :)
[Nexus 5 General] mys3:
ordered mine through carphone warehouse. its being delivered there on monday. I cancelled my google order incase nobody was home on delivery. the carphone warehouse order gets delivered to the store:good:
[Nexus 5 General] Jake-CT:
Got it from cpw and managed to cancel my play pre-order. Saved the £10 postage and got it in hand. It feels a little sharp at the bottom edge but otherwise running great so far and charges on my N4 wireless charger (as expected).
[Nexus 5 General] Kid_droid:
I guess 16gb was worth a shout for 295 if you wanted one from carphone warehouse. I made my mate and one from the store.

Yeah I think if we get one today it would be serious luck. But when I ordered my Nexus 4 I got it the next day in the evening.

Monday won't kill though. Gives my case to arrive just on time haha.

[Nexus 5 General] 3Shirts:
The G2 has more megapixels but the N5's camera has OIS and fires faster. To me, that is more important.
[Nexus 5 General] packetlos:
Picked mine up from CPW at 10am for £295 sim free, they just had their delivery but the branch I visited only got 2 of each colour.
[Nexus 5 General] akhan47:
just picked mine up from CPW
[Nexus 5 General] warr3n:
Just cancelled my Play order and purchased in-store at CPW St Albans.

Only had 3 left - 1 black and 2 white.
[Nexus 5 General] stennett:
Went to O2 to try and buy a 32GB model and they refused.

Went to CPW got a 16GB ( I haven't used up my memory on my Nexus 4 so figured I just wanted the 32GB for the sake of it) £295, they wasn't even on display and the staff member asked me to open it in front of him as he hadn't even seen one yet lol

Went to 3 (my contract was up) got a 12 month Sim only deal for £15, 2000 minutes, 5000 texts, 5000 three-to-three calls and all you can eat data. Plus 4G at no extra cost.

Nexus 5 £295

12 month plan £180

Nexus 4 sold £140

so £335 for a Nexus 5 and practically unlimited everything for 12 moths.

I'll repeat this next year.

Happy.
[Nexus 5 General] MA3STRO:
The LG G2 does have IOS.
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
Highly unlikely the app is optimised for 4.4 yet seeing as it's been out a day...that and the Nexus range were never about numbers ;)
[Nexus 5 General] tekmad:
I heard Samsung and a number of Chinese manufacturers were accused of engineering there new phone to 'cheat' the benchmarks.
[Nexus 5 General] big_b0sss:
Battery will be a problem I guess 15% down during benchmark test
[Nexus 5 General] MA3STRO:
There's an information page in the play store that confirms that you can refuse delivery at your doorstep. You will then get a refund when the item is returned to their warehouse :)
[Nexus 5 General] 3Shirts:
Yeah, I remember reading that. They detect all the common benchmark apps and crank the processor and GPU up to full whack to get better results. If they ran like that all the time, they'd overheat and rape the battery in the minutes so it's not representative.
[Nexus 5 General] teekaytk:
A friend of mine got a new iPhone on 2 years contract and accidentally sat on it while the phone was in his back pocket. Now he's left with no phone and 23 months still to pay. Is there any insurance I can take out for my soon to me N5?
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Tempted to cancel my order and go to carphone warehouse.. but only 16gb... what do you guys think I should do?
[Nexus 5 General] chenga28:

Check with your bank, many offer phone coverage. You also might be able to add it to your home contents insurance (but you will need to specifically add it). Alternatively places like ProtectMyBubble specialise in phone insurance.
[Nexus 5 General] @home:
Be patient - 16GB isn't enough - It's about time Google did 32gb or even 64gb

Mine is the same, exact same time as well :) Strange that one I ordered a few minutes later for a friend shows 9.30
[Nexus 5 General] akhan47:
I just looked at it this way, I managed fine with 16gb on my Nexus 4 even though I was worried at first. O2's plans are just too expensive and £550 for P&G is ridiculous.
[Nexus 5 General] Barff1984:
the N4 wasn't even that good compared to the competition....the HTC One X and the S3 beat it hands down.

Mine is the white one, I'm really happy with it. I think it's a lovely contrast and makes the back a bit more interesting!
[Nexus 5 General] ratedr75:
I was the first person to get one from CPW in Middlesbrough, you should have seen the Tech Guys and staff they were like Bees around Honey waiting for me to play with it in the shop.

It's sat charging nicely on my desk. Goodbye HTC One (the sale of that has paid for this) and hello Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] MA3STRO:
Here's an unboxing of the black version.

[YOUTUBE]vvO9kq3Cr7M[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 5 General] Barff1984:
Just a quick question;

Where can i sell my S3, it's not in the best condition and has a crack near the home button. But it still works fine.

Where should i see it? i got a good price for my desire (back in the day) at phones4u, but do they only buy back when you buying a new phone? I've got my white 32gb on order and so i don't really need my s3 anymore.
[Nexus 5 General] krs360:
Have a look on http://mobilevaluer.com/ - it's independent and done by moneysavingexpert, so you can get honest reviews.

Although, I look yesterday and the S3 was £160 from o2, then I look this morning and it had gone down to £130 with them. Have booked mine in with Asda cos they are still offering £159, and the reviews say that they don't seem to mind too much with cosmetic damage.

[Nexus 5 General] Batfink33:
Well, I went into one of my local CPW today and asked for the N5.She went to get it and said they had plenty. Then as she was walking away another sales rep whispered to her and she came back and said they only had them locked to a contract sim (what a load of nonsense) and they wouldn't work with PAYG. I then walked 500 yards to the next CPW where she happily sold me an unlocked one,no questions asked. Lovely phone, very ,very buttery. Looking forward to getting a root for it and the devs on here working their magic on it. So far I've downloaded some apps and ran an Antutu (28000) and its looking great.
[Nexus 5 General] MA3STRO:
Please direct your frustrations to the guy who recorded the video. I simply shared the video with members here as it is one of the first unboxing videos up :)

Just arose from my slumber and had a nice dispatch email :D dispatched at about 9:30 this morning

Do Parcel force even deliver on a saturday? think parcel force are the one company who don't go "oh he's not mainland? smeg him he'll wait another day"
[Nexus 5 General] Barff1984:
you can use your bank card as an oyster card now, you know that right?

there's now no need to top up or even have an oyster card.,...it just comes straight out of your bank (providing your bank card has nfc, which it should do...it's 2013).
[Nexus 5 General] Batfink33:
Does anyone know how to add an extra screen to the launcher? I'm failing miserably!

Also, can anyone give me advice on how to tell my wife I've bought it? Her last words to me as I went to work this morning were 'you're not getting another phone, you've already got 4!'
[Nexus 5 General] marcbrophy:
Anyone here who ordered from the Play Store at 6:20 or later get a dispatch mail yet? :)
[Nexus 5 General] MA3STRO:
I think both versions look good. Don't think you can go wrong either way. The white version reminds me of the Oppo Find 5.
[Nexus 5 General] steslatt:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the tap and pay is useless for the UK because you need Google wallet and that's not available in the UK.

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------

Just hold whatever you want on the next screen and drag it to the right, it creates a new screen automatically.

Good luck with the wife ;)
[Nexus 5 General] nareik91:
So I've been paying attention to my orders today - interestingly my Google Play order from 18:02:47 now has a status of delivered, but I have yet to receive a despatch email, and my Google Wallet order is showing an (inactive) tracking number.

Anyone else in a similar position?
[Nexus 5 General] Barff1984:
I've got google wallet, that's how i purchased it on the play store, I'm in England.
[Nexus 5 General] Batfink33:

[Nexus 5 General] RambJoe:
Isn't that only for buses, and with no daily price cap?

Although tubes will have it soon apparently http://www.standard.co.uk/news/tran...thin-weeks-8915136.html?origin=internalSearch

But yeah, so can we emulate contactless credit cards then?

But KitKat is meant to have NFC card emulation.
[Nexus 5 General] t0ph0id:
It's all very good that you can use your bank card or phone instead of your oyster card, but I'd still rather use the oyster card. There's a good chance of it getting lost or stolen, rather lose that than my bank card or phone tbh.
[Nexus 5 General] alpha beta gaga:
i suppose there *might be a chance that play store have struck a deal with parcelforce and orders that shipped today *might get a delivery tomorrow
[Nexus 5 General] lombardo8:
Screw Google! My order went through 7 mins after launch yesterday and no shipping confirmation yet while others whose orders went through after mine have received their shipping emails.

I have now ordered from Carphone Warehouse to pick up in a store next to my office on Monday and I saved myself £15. I also don't have to deal with all that missed delivery bull.

Again screw google hard!
[Nexus 5 General] djnewt:
My local Carphone Warehouse has them in stock so collected the 16gb black version this morning....Very happy with the phone and a steal at £295.
[Nexus 5 General] :
My tracking number still not working.. ;(
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Yeh you didnt save yourself £15 at all. You have to pay a £20 top-up when you buy it.. so your paying £215 for the phone Google will sell and ship for £210
[Nexus 5 General] etoD:
NFC card emu is for making -new- cards not for emulating existing cards. Afterall if you could do that you could just sit your phone ons omebodys bank card and go and spend their monies.

It's so apps like paypal can make your phone act like a contactless card.
[Nexus 5 General] thesoupthief:
A few of you guys have your N5s already (I have to wait til mine ships on the 8th then get it posted over to Ireland :-/ )

I'm guessing it won't work without a powered hub but it would be great if you didn't need a fudged kernel as well (as you do with the N4)
[Nexus 5 General] lombardo8:
Dont be dumb. Its sim free for £295. I have paid online and it will be delivered to a store instead of my house.
