[Nexus 5 General] exxpired:
For anyone who wants a case, this seems pretty decent, I got it because mine is white.. No point hiding it! http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00FJJ38HY/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?ref_=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item now hopefully I will get the phone come Monday, case very soon after :d
[Nexus 5 General] teekaytk:
Finally shipping email. I ordered 18:30 ish. 16GB black from Leeds
[Nexus 5 General] FlamingAngel82:
Exactly the same boat here, currently have a HTC One X, moving to a Nexus 5. It certainly has been a good phone, but looking forward to having a considerable upgrade! :)

Just got my shipped email today, hopefully should be here on Monday!

Don't hold your breath.

My tracking now shows that my phone is outside manchester... So its moved from London (1 hour from my house) to Manchester (4 hours from my house)?

Parcleforce are THE worst courier ever, ive had many experiences with them and none have been good, shame on Google for choosing them while Europe gets UPS. If my phone doesn't turn up on Monday I will be seeking compensation from Parcleforce. Google really need to understand this is not how you treat customers who have been waiting for months for a device and spend their day waiting for them to go on sale, just to have the worlds worst delivery company **** it up.
[Nexus 5 General] summer_love:
I've lost faith all together now. My tracking is still not working and it was dispatched at 9:03am yesterday. DPD is always great for me, why couldn't they have used them :crying:
[Nexus 5 General] Kenneth131:
I think people are loosing sight of how bad TNT are and were with the orders. Twice I ordered the nexus 4 and twice it arrived damaged in a torn bad and crushed box.

Even initiating a return was painful since they couldn't accept the return at the depot I had to call them and arrange for someone to pick it up from my house. That person came from the depot I was just at. Then they lost the parcel returning it to Google.

El goog on the other hand was brilliant and as I had a return tracking number they refunded me and took it up with TNT

Now Parcelforce are handling orders and yeah things are not moving as fast as we would like however i for one would rather have my phone arrive in tact and not damaged

Parcelforce are no doubt just moving orders about in prep for who ever will be delivering Monday. So who cares where it is right now so long as it gets to you on a working day promptly and in good condition.

Im happy to give them the benefit of the doubt and take it that orders will be delivered on time next week.
[Nexus 5 General] Aircondition:
Ordered yesterday 5 PM and still I havent got a confirmation email. I know some people ordered after me and its already been shipped .wtf?!

32 GB white btw
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
I can agree with a lot of the points you made, I was involved in the nexus 4 limbo and know how terrible TNT were, but when people in Europe are getting UPS next day delivery for 10 euros (£8) and we are paying £10 for this rubbish, I wouldn't trust any courier other than DPD, Yodel or UPS with anything I cared about. idk why Google are insistent on cheeping out on delivery, my friend who ordered their nexus 5 from CPW as they only needed 16GB ordered friday and had it this morning... CPW are doing a better job!
[Nexus 5 General] nikzDHD:
You can't really blame Google. Its being handled by Expansys whom use Parcelforce. DPD is the best courier I've come across never had a single failed delivery from them as. The driver is always the same guy who is very polite. Yodel are the worse of worse, worse than Parcelforce.
[Nexus 5 General] DHTC:
I don't understand why people are complaining about parcelforce when at the end of the day google haven't paid for a saturday delivery service.

I have no idea why google is charging so much, slightly annoyed myself but at least most of your tracking status says its loaded and ready to go.
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
Totally agree. DPD are by FAR the best in my experience too.

The only disappointment for me is a £10 delivery cost SHOULD include Saturday.

Even Royal Mail standard first class packages (less than a fiver) get delivered on Saturdays 'all the time' in my area.

But never mind - it wasnt meant to be - at least its an excuse for me to leave early from work on Monday. LOL :)
[Nexus 5 General] Bettz:
Shocked at all the whineing posts about not getting there's phones today.Google have shipped the phones earlier than expected people have no patience!!
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
has anyone elses Tracking not moved since the taken from customer one? find it strange how over 24 hours it hasn't moved
[Nexus 5 General] nikzDHD:
Yes loads of us have loaded onto vehicle ready for delivery on Monday.
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
I don't even have that, not loaded onto any vehicle just received from customer

"01-11-2013	07:21	London North West Depot	Collected from customer"

Same. Don't worry. Yet....

Sent from N4 ?
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
well least i'm not the only one....bleeegh should have went to CPW today instead xD
[Nexus 5 General] Deeco7:
Most of the comments of this thread is about Shipping, honestly....just sit tight and wait patiently and you will get to enjoy your device soon.... ;)
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
Very little stock, if any. There is nothing around me at all, or I would have gotten it yesterday.

Sent from N4 ?
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
nots sure what the stock is like here still there's 2 CPW right around the corner from me i cold have gotten one day 1 but didn't expect them to match GP let alone beat it xD
[Nexus 5 General] jparnell:
I'm the same. Mine has got to come down to Devon - Exeter depot which I expect will be tomorrow night ready for Monday delivery. Don't panic!
[Nexus 5 General] Aircondition:
Credit card charged but still no confirmation message. They said they only charge when its leaving the warehouse...
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Its ridiculous, ebuyer £10 delivery gets you excellent service, even late night orders get here the next day

£10 should be spent on UPS like the rest of europe and we would all have a nexus in our hands right now!

They may well have done but thats not the point, its not the service you expect from a large company like google, to use some rubbish distribution company like expansis and parcelforce.
[Nexus 5 General] Kid_droid:
+1 really a truly it says 1 to 2 business day. Saturday doesn't tend to count for most businesses . Nexus 4 was what you call pain. This is super service so far to be honest.

We give Google a bad name by moaning about s*it all.

Ask how many people have claimed carphone warehouse warranty for nexus 4 and other devices etc and had a smooth ride with having to go many routes cors the last they want is give you free repair. Lol . From experience be grateful Google has your warranty I repeat.

The easiest things to get can have amazing *small print*. :)

[Nexus 5 General] RankWinner:
I got my shipping confirmation a few hours ago and was happy but my Parcelforce tracking still doesn't work. Could anybody tell me what pattern their tracking code follows? The Parcelforce window says "Please enter your parcel number without spaces (e.g. AA000100019GB)" but my code follows the pattern "#ABCD1234567890".

Stupid-ish question but I'm slightly confused and I've never really liked Parcelforce xD
[Nexus 5 General] ryan19:
I've got mine yesterday at 7 pm and my tracking code is still not working. I think it's just because it's Saturday. Hopefully our devices will be in our hands on monday
[Nexus 5 General] nikzDHD:
First code is usually a Royal Mail type code. The second is the correct one also but usually takes 24 hours etc to update.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Picked mine up from CPW.

To be honest I got it with the intention to hawk it for a profit, but having played with it, I'll be moving the N4 on instead.
[Nexus 5 General] cchderek:
When did you order yours?

I ordered mine on Friday morning, but I still haven't received the delivery conformation.
[Nexus 5 General] xiFIL:
LTE!

Am more bothered about the LTE on this badboy and how well it fairs with the UK 4G networks, i mean i am on 3 and just on standard H my friend who has the nexus 5 (got his on friday at CPW) gets 20meg download and 3 meg upload in my area with just H, can't wait for LTE!

[Nexus 5 General] lombardo8:
How old are you?!
[Nexus 5 General] Deeco7:
How's 'Three' working out for you mate? Any signal drops? Heard their services had improved, but I'm still doubtful.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Reserved Friday morning, picked up during my lunch break same day.
[Nexus 5 General] nikzDHD:
I'm on Three in London they have been excellent. No signal drops constant good data speeds in the area I live and work at. Been fine far improved compared to their past.
[Nexus 5 General] ChrisM75:
Got mine from CPW as well, its really nice, but it will be a difficult transition from my HTC One.

The One has a better camera, which I expected, but the screen on the N5 is nothing like as good as the Ones screen. The colours are good, but the black levels are off and it has pretty poor viewing angles, the screen goes quite pale and grey off centre. The external speaker is very poor, but again i didn't expect it to be anything like as good as the One. I suppose it is about half the price.

It is very very smooth and everything is immediate, cant comment on battery life yet.
[Nexus 5 General] xiFIL:
There signal is rock solid, i mean i just get H and with that alone i get 20 meg download and 3 meg upload and LTE is YET to come in my area, funny thing is am getting more than the proposed LTE speeds for when it does roll out!
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
Pmsl Nikz - feel like you've been following me around for years on here - always in the same forums with each new device!

I too am on three and find the signal better than O2 was giving me. (O2 didn't even offer DC-HSDPA and even without that - it actually felt 'congested')

But I mainly went to three for the data speeds.

On my N4:

Average speeds.....

O2: 1-3mb

3: 10-15mb

Plus - can't wait for completely free 4G switchover.

£12.90 plan that offers 4G unlimited - that's gonna be insane - can't wait.

Regarding signal - im on a H connection for 99% of the time and it averages 3/4 bars. (Its extremely rare to see the '3G' icon)
[Nexus 5 General] nikzDHD:
Great minds think alike lol.
[Nexus 5 General] Aircondition:
Do you really think its worth to upgrade from HTC One to nexus 5? Its a diffrent thing if you go from 2 year old SG2 like me. You're just wasting your money.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
22. Why?
[Nexus 5 General] Deeco7:
12 month contract, and how did you manage to get it for 12.90? I'm looking more into 30day rolling contract as I don't want to be tied to a long contract especially with Three's history, just wished it was a wee bit cheaper.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
http://store.three.co.uk/view/searchTariff?deviceType=SIM_ONLY&priceplan=PAY_MONTHLY

;)

Best part, your only tied in for one month ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Deeco7:
Ah I see, but the plan is not ideal for me unfortunately, I require more minutes. Just wished there was a plan with less texts!
[Nexus 5 General] teekaytk:
Getting out of three 30 day rolling contract was a pain. Their customer services just won't let me leave even though I was going on three pay as you go
[Nexus 5 General] ChrisM75:
Actually im keeping both, just moving to the Nexus for day to day use. The HTC will be for more 'formal' situations. I was just making the comparison.
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
Also If you don't mind a 12-Month Contract, go for the ONE plan.

All-you-can-eat data

2000 any network minutes

5000 Three-to-Three minutes

5000 texts

Tethering included

..... For £15 a month.

I think this plan on a 30day rolling contract is £18 a month if you prefer that.
[Nexus 5 General] TheReverend210:
Another post from me, evidently the only person in the country to get a Saturday delivery.

Anyway, thought I'd test out the low light capabilities of the camera, as it seems to be a big talking point on here.

I tried to deliberately capture an image with differing amounts of light in it, and I post it here completely unadjusted. What do you all think?
[Nexus 5 General] Takulas:
Sounds cool. And tethering wise?
[Nexus 5 General] Deeco7:
Yuh, I'm aware of that plan....the 30 day rolling contract suits me best, just wished it was £15 lol.

Also, any loyal Three customers able to downgrade their plan?
[Nexus 5 General] supercakefish:
Same :(
[Nexus 5 General] yinujim:
Mines been shipped now.
[Nexus 5 General] nikzDHD:
Cheers for that. I suggest uploading to an image hosting site so we can see a full resolution picture to see the noise etc. Imageshack and Flickr are good choices.
[Nexus 5 General] TCMuffin:
No...I get the same message as you :(

Even more odd...logging into my account on Play Store showed 'Delivered' at 1800, but now (2340) shows 'Shipped' :-O

Maybe Google Play Store works 24/7, but ParcelForce doesn't? Email quotes 24 hours before tracking number is activated...presumably that's 24 after the item has shipped:
[Nexus 5 General] TheReverend210:
I'd absolutely love to, but it looks like photobucket has gone complete crap these days, to the point where I can't upload an image (and I'm not downloading the app out of principle), and I'm too drunk to sign up to another image hosting site.

Somebody else will hopefully have something similar uploaded tomorrow.

Actually, just because I like XDA so much, I downloaded the app, hopefully this works, if not just cut'n'paste.
[Nexus 5 General] Confused_Cheese:
Hiya guys. Ordered mine on Friday about 9am. After all the problems with the Nexus 4 orders I havn't been bothering with checking up on it much... so much so I missed the shipping confirmation email from 8:13 Saturday morning!

My parcelforce tracking number doesn't work at all, and the google checkout page says "Delivered" as the status. This could be possible as its going to my work address, or do they all say "Delivered" even when its just shipped?
[Nexus 5 General] thefiqs:
I think Parcelforce does not have saturday delivery. First I hoped will get it today, but looks just monday.
[Nexus 5 General] nikzDHD:
They do deliver but incurs an extra charge which the company has to pay.
[Nexus 5 General] Confused_Cheese:
Does your play order say delivered?
[Nexus 5 General] lennshow66:
Not bad much less noise than I was expecting
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
I still haven't got any movement at all and its been sat at London depot since 7:21 yesterday morning....
[Nexus 5 General] lennshow66:
Just means delivered to the courier
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
Same here chap
[Nexus 5 General] dannstarr:
Exactly the same here too, 7.21hrs
[Nexus 5 General] ste1164:
Same I'm hoping some movement tomorrow but I'm expecting a tuesday delivery which is fine by me.
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
weird exactly the same time as thats on mine
[Nexus 5 General] dannstarr:
Im pretty sure they will have it with you on monday... they are just useless at updating their tracking info...

i've had ones from them that have stayed on this status even after it has been delivered to my door

their status's really dont mean a lot
[Nexus 5 General] big_b0sss:
i remember how o2 scumbag treated me. i had yellow tint and lose power button issue, gave them my nexus 4 three times and they couldn't find the problem sent my phone back without fixing 3 times. i had to sell that on Gumtree after. all that said im happy my phone is coming on Monday or Tuesday
[Nexus 5 General] deanwray:
Well I walked into CPW yesterday and walked out with one, they had a few! Got back home to cancel my google "pending" order and between me buying and getting home, google decided to update the order to shipped all of a sudden... so cant cancel now .... what joy!
[Nexus 5 General] big_b0sss:
refuse the delivery man tell him you cancelled that. you will get refund once that phone go back to warehouse
[Nexus 5 General] SpaceGooner:
For anyone seeing the 'loaded to delivery vehicle' message this weekend here's what Parcelforce's FAQ page says it means:

"My parcel tracking results states ‘loaded to delivery vehicle’ and it is Saturday today. Will my parcel be delivered?

All parcels received in our depot during Friday night and Saturday morning will be loaded to our delivery vehicles, and show this status, whether they are due for delivery on Saturday or Monday.

When the sender has chosen and paid for the Saturday delivery service, we will deliver your parcel today. Deliveries on a Saturday are between 7am and 2pm. However, if the sender has not chosen the Saturday delivery service, then we will deliver your parcel on Monday (except for Bank Holidays / Public Holidays)."

So it's definitely a Monday delivery - any time til 5:30. Well it's good to know for sure at least.

May have missed it in all this information, but is anyone currently using the phone on the Orange/EE network? According to the FAQ where I work, its not compatible! Well, the 4G isn't, apparently.

[Nexus 5 General] daleski75:
Using mine on EE right now and everything is fine just a shame we do not have 4g here yet to test it properly.
[Nexus 5 General] stereopixels:
Mine's the same; Play store invoice says delivered top right, Parcelforce site says "We are currently unable to confirm that status of your parcel. Please check the number and try again." - don't worry about it. When this happens it's usually because the warehouse is linked with an automated delivery booking system; when you placed your Play Store order their warehouse sends your order to Parcelforce (weight, box dimensions, pick up and delivery address) and Parcelforce sends back a confirmation, pre-assigning a delivery code. That's the code we've got in email. But they probably haven't picked up the phones from the warehouse yet, hence the number not currently working; it's probably not a real order... yet.

(Source - I'm a software dev for a manufacturer who ships stuff)
[Nexus 5 General] FlamingAngel82:
To be honest, I barely use 3g (and by extension, probably 4g too). Thanks for that, mind is now at ease. Apparently, the Nexus 5 isn't 'verified' by the EE family!

I don't think so. The vast majority of people who got the shipped email yesterday will probably receive delivery on tuesday or wednesday.

I just saw somebody saying that Google sent it through the Express24 service, so I thought there could be a chance. I'm at work on Tuesday and I used my home address, so Monday or Wednesday would work much better for me.

Do CPW have the 32GB in stock or do they just have the 16GB?

Is it really worth me upgrading from a 6month old HTC One?
[Nexus 5 General] chistery:
O2 have an exclusive on the 32GB one, so no. You'll need to wait a month or so before you can buy it somewhere other than O2 or Google.
[Nexus 5 General] Michealtbh:
I "upgraded" from an Xperia Z1, I definitely prefer the N5 in every way apart from the camera (it's still a decent camera though). Battery life seems on par with the Z1 too despite being a smaller capacity.

CPW only have 16GB, that's where I got mine.
[Nexus 5 General] catdogchicken:
1st tocaqu

Well I'm sort of upgrading from my note 3. I just prefer stock Google and development is much nicer on nexus devices. Still cex are offering £412 for them so not too bad.
[Nexus 5 General] Blocoholi:
I want to switch to three too. Currently on orange/ee and have a contract there until april..

Which is the best way to switch provider?

Wait until then? Or buy myself out of the contract?

When my contract runs out, do I need to write a cancellation or can I just ask for my pacs code?
[Nexus 5 General] jonathanacbrett:
I've just moved to three's one plan and the building penetration is awful. I constantly go from full signal outside to no signal at all inside. I'm in Barnsley so I'm assuming this is what their signal outside of cities is like.
[Nexus 5 General] stuart0001:
That's your decision. Either way you will have to pay the remaining contract.

To cancel just call CS and request a PAC code which you can give to 3 to transfer your number.
[Nexus 5 General] mattcooper:
I know everyone says no, but mine was apparently shipped Saturday morning, though the Parcelforce tracking website say's it shipped on Friday, 1/11... The tracking number doesn't work on the link Google gave, but on this one here. No other info is on that page, but I'm holding out for monday delivery and that hopefully Google are emailing a bit late.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Try phoning three and talking to them, ive always found them to be very helpful and negotiable, ive exchanged minuets for texts on old contracts so I assume you could do the same in reverse?

You can tether (it says you cant) but you just have to use one of the root tethering apps as three block the non root tethering apps, but its great on HSDPA+ ive been downloading at 20mb tethered, cant wait to see what the 4G is like in my area!

I'm planning on getting the Ultimate Internet 200 Sim plan (£12.90 a month), and would just like to confirm that you can tether with a tethering app? Can you please link one which works?

Im pretty sure this one works but ive only used the one built in to the Cyanogen mod roms and so can only vouch 100% for that working.

I only made the monthly payments thrice before my £100 O2 open discount took effect so I haven't paid anything for the last 9 months.
