+1 tbh google could have charged more and said free delivery but that's a different tax bracket probably phone would have cost us more.

There is only one person that got a phone on Saturday so far out 15000 handsets. Fair play if he was a lucky slip up from the depot who knows. People are saying the system is floored.

How many of us saw his google receipt in the image? I cant be asked to look at the picture. if your phone arrives before date quoted then keep quiet please. suggest you get some sleep and not miss your deliveries grumpies. I know these are same people that will be demanding updates from devs like its their duty lol Nexus 5 forum will be full on complaints first week or two. Then gets smooth like nexus 4 launch.

GOOGLE IS AWESOME for the fact they even made it possible to have a phone at price !!!!!

Here's a speed test on Three from earlier tonight.

View attachment 2369564

It's not the fastest I've had (which was 27Mbps, but that was rather exceptional and outdoors) but gives an idea of what I can get on Three.

Even the upload speed is exceptional, which is why I grabbed the screen in this case because it's higher than I can remember getting before (usually 2-2.5Mbps).

And, before someone tries to call me out and say it's fake because I'm on Wi-Fi, let me just turn that around! Yes, it IS Wi-Fi. That's my Xperia Z1 connected to my Nexus 4 with a Three One Plan SIM. So, that impressive speed is also taking into account the losses you'd get via Wi-Fi (the N4 isn't exactly up there with the most powerful routers!). It's also connected to my iMac at the same time.

My ADSL line, for comparison, is around 5Mbps down and just 0.75Mbps up. No FTTC broadband here as yet.
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
Even Apple can't manage things perfectly. Loads of people who order a brand new device online a week or more in advance still find themselves waiting and wondering why they didn't just go into a store.

When I got my iPad mini, it couldn't be delivered by TNT as the address wasn't complete. They couldn't (or didn't) contact me, so I had to chase them and eventually go to Luton to pick it up, and even then they struggled to track the package!

Had I not called them up, I expect they'd have done nothing and just sent it back to Apple after whatever period they allow for non-delivery.

When you order a new product that is going to be selling by the thousands, you can always expect problems but I wish people would hold off the complaints until their shipping/delivery date has passed.

Chances are this thread will expand by hundreds of pages tomorrow as everyone says they got their delivery... and all the hatred will disappear, just as it did on the threads for the Nexus 7, Nexus 10 and Nexus 4!
[Nexus 5 General] Daveoc64:
Maybe that's your expectation, but it's just not mine. It's 2013 - other companies have shown that that they can release, ship and deliver products in a better way than this.
[Nexus 5 General] exxpired:
You'd think the way everyone is moaning that they cant function without having this phone? Expecting a highly anticipated phone 1/2 days after ordering ti AND on a weekend? Come on get real.. If you have been waiting a week for it, fair enough. But come on guys? Chill out! Your getting a cheap close enough to high end phone. Just be happy you actually were able to place the order and its out for shipment.
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
Give Google time to prove themselves in this case then!

1-3 business days does NOT include weekends, and people have been given a date of on or before November 5th. Most, possibly all (or as near as all as you can get, given some deliveries may not succeed for a multitude of reasons) will arrive today (Monday) so be one day early.

I ordered at 6.50pm and I'm down as getting it on or before the 8th November. Should I be moaning on here that I ordered the same f'ing day as people just minutes before? Well, I could but I'd look rather silly as my order says 8th November and it's only the 4th right now.

I don't see how the year has anything to do with anything. Sure technology has advanced in loads of things, but there are still some logistics that haven't changed at all. In fact, I bet most couriers are having to cut back on staff to save money these days, like everyone else, and so it becomes even more likely that you'll have delays today than you would have a few years ago.

Now if Google had given me the option to pay for Saturday delivery, I would. If it had been sold on Amazon, I'd have expected (with Prime) to get it the next day once it said it had shipped. But I accepted what I was presented with. I can expect or hope for more, but it makes sod all difference.

One solution would have been to simply have Google delay the ordering and set up a pre-order system, like Apple, to give the illusion that you were getting it next day by using that time to manage the stock and process orders. Then everyone would have been happy, even if that meant the Nexus 5 not actually going 'on sale' until the middle or end of this week.
[Nexus 5 General] supercakefish:
Goodnight forums. I hope my tracking info updates by morning. If not, I'll be very disappointed. I hope you all receive yours soon too, ideally later today.
[Nexus 5 General] Cardinality:
Hey all. Saw the discussion about 3 and was just wondering if anyone has any experience with Giffgaff? I'm getting the Nexus 5 SIM Free and thinking of getting a £12 a month GG SIM which gives Unlimited Internet. Most of the time my internet allowance on my contract is just maxed out by watching YouTube videos but I don't want that to be the case anymore. As far as I know, GG is truly unlimited with no fair usage policy (no tethering but that doesn't affect me), but just wanted to know if anyone has any experience with them?

Can't wait to get my Nexus 5. For everyone complaining, stop acting like a baby and just wait damnit!
[Nexus 5 General] KrisPerry:
Yes I have been using giffgaff for over a year. Their unlimited internet is great and have never had any bother
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
Go back a few pages, as myself and others have already discussed the differences between Giffgaff and other networks.

If speed is important, I think O2's network can quickly be ruled out. Don't just take my word for it - look at the real data from RootMetrics and others. Or indeed others on here that talk of speeds of 1-3Mbps, which is pretty poor even if you can get unlimited (slow) data!

However, Giffgaff gets 4G next March and I have to say that this could very well change things for the better.
[Nexus 5 General] Kenneth131:
I'm also on giffgaff. Its great since its unlimited web, and calls to other giffgaff numbers don't take anything off your allowance for all other numbers etc but my experience with how it manages traffic leaves a lot to be desired and probably down to o2 as well as giffgaff run off o2s network.

Eg I have full 3G signal and using Google play music in my car it plays fine up to the same point on my drive to work everyday. My phone has full 3G signal at this point yet it fails to get any response from the network.

Also speed at times is not great and more often than not when I'm at work rather than allowing me on the 3G network o2 continually kick me off the 3G mast to allow for traffic management I fall back to edge and then it tries to reconnect to 3G. Its a pain in the ass.

Also from Glasgow to Manchester on the m74 m6 , o2 fail to provide 3G 85% of the journey

So when it works its great and the bundles are great with lots of perks but for reliability, stability and 3G coverage I can't honestly say its amazing.

Iv been away from three for about a year and a half now but although building penetration was poor on three the speed you received was good stable and cell site switching was smooth. But customer service isn't great and I don't know how the network is these days.
[Nexus 5 General] Ensifolk:
Sorry guys, how much does the N5 16 gb black cost at Carphone? SIM Free of course...
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Having released ROMs myself in the past. I sure as hell won't be demanding anything from devs. Anyone who does is a moron.

To liken that with being annoyed with Google/parcel force I'd different though. The terms I agreed to when I purchased was three day delivery. I know for sure my phone won't turn up tomorrow which will make it 4 days.. Which is well within my rights to complain
[Nexus 5 General] dannstarr:
the network really depends on the area you live, and your normal places that you travel around... for me, the only provider to have decent signal, and mostly good 3g is o2 / giff gaff

Whats their speed like? I dont know... i dont run speed tests, but in browsing, loading maps while out ect, while on 3g or "h" i never think its slow or a problem... it runs youtube videos just fine with no buffering etc

i dont generally go around downloading roms etc while im not at home, where thats the only place i can see that reaching 20mbps is really going to be of any real use

£295 ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Cardinality:
Ah sorry, I guess I didn't start reading far back enough!

That is kind of disappointing I guess, and being in Manchester I bet it's even worse considering I'm in Central. I might just hop on to a Three SIM for the timebeing then, and then maybe once GiffGaff gets 4G see how that plays out. I'm being constantly bombarded by Vodafone Retnetions right now, if only they did the Nexus 5 I'd have probably got a cracking deal considering I'm leaving them after 10 years.
[Nexus 5 General] Lawliet:
Wow, where did you read that Giffgaff will get 4G in March? I've only read that O2 will allow Giffgaff to use their 4G networks.

EDIT: Found it! http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Blog/4G-Update/bc-p/10365705

On an unrelated note, Google promised Dispatch by 5/11, so it's actually really good if people receive it on 4/11.
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
It was 1-3 BUSINESS days. For goodness sake mate, business days do NOT include weekends or bank holidays!

And even then, most companies only count the time to ship a product and then it's passed over to the courier, which can add further time. Let's say something is stated as shipping in 5 business days (7 days in reality) and that means the product ships on a Friday.. you will now have to wait until the Monday to get it - so even more of a wait.

It's the way it is. You don't have to like it, sure, but nor do you have to go phoning companies up and ranting so they cut you off!

Now you obviously HOPED it might be quicker. You hoped it might just be 1 day and the courier might be in a great mood and, despite having 10,000 of these in the depot, opted to send a driver out with it at 9am on Saturday.

Who knows, in some cases that might very well happen... but it didn't and now you're all upset. Chillax - it will be with you soon enough and by this time next week you won't care that some people got it a few seconds before you.
[Nexus 5 General] exxpired:
If you have a look here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2411789..

United Kingdom	Estimated processing time 1-2 business days	Estimated delivery time 1-3 business days

It could take anywhere between 2 BUSINESS DAYS (Monday-Friday) to 5 BUSINESS DAYS (Monday-Friday)

Which means you may have to wait till Thursday, if by then you don't get it you have every right to moan and cry about it to google/parcel force.
[Nexus 5 General] DanP47:
Some absolute tools in this thread. Bottom line is Google said it could take up to 5 business days, and people are complaining when only one business day has passed?

And also, to people complaining that they aren't shipping in the order that the order was placed, you do realise than each vehicle carries more than one parcel? So in a window of say 3 or 4 hours, all the orders that were placed and are going to a similar destination would be put in one batch and shipped together. So yes, this means some parcels that were received later by Parcel Force will be shipped earlier. If they did follow the actual order, they would have to double or triple the number of vehicles they used and it would still probably be less efficient.

Yes, I agree that £10 is a lot for shipping, but we chose to pay it and we are getting a great phone for a great price, and hey, there's a pretty good chance that it will arrive tomorrow. So how about everyone take a chill pill and have a think of what they're actually getting angry about...

ikr! Anyone who buys that is really ****ed up in the head. More money than sense.

I say an okay price would be £399/£429 for the 32gb

Mines been sat in my local parcelforce depot since Saturday night so if it's like every other delivery I've had off them (7 in the past two weeks) Tim the delivery driver will be here between 10:30 & 11:30.

I'm in Southeast London and while most networks work I'm on three, there's a couple of blind spots found while I was on the train but nothing major. Speeds good but the bonus for me is tethering. Currently part of the beta trial for Sky Go (tablets) my three usage has taken a bit of a battering.

Coming from an S4 and have managed to have a good play with a friends N5 and got to say I was pretty happy with what I saw

Tethering is not allowed but I've been getting away with tethering my nexus 7 since it came out. I rarely get speeds that can stream YouTube with unless I'm at work in Birmingham. While Giffgaff is great value, its often experiencing downtime, and as mentioned, crummy speeds.

Strange that quickcover had actual tracking step-by-step whereas the phone just magically appeared in the local depo!
