Eh I'm still skeptical. Look at the nexus 4. Also, its personal use really. People say they get 5-6hrs on the moto x while I never got to 4 in a day. this is why I'm on a note 3 while I wait to see the nexus 5.

Yeah... I guess I've never really tried. When I'm home I use my tablets and when I'm at work I don't spend a ton of time on my phone. If I did, I probably wouldn't have a job. :)

Usually when I charge my phone at night I'm around 2.5h screen time.

People use their phones very differently. If you usually have 2.5hours of screen time I'm sure the Nexus 5 will do just fine for you :victory:

Wrong on that. Their tracking system is nothing short of awful and as I mentioned they can't resolve an address if someone wrote it a digit off on the label. They have no delivery options (drop at ups store, leave with neighbor, etc.) and God forbid if you miss the signature delivery as you can't go to a hub that evening and pick it up. You are stuck waiting at the ugly PO for a surly person to look for your package.
[Nexus 5 General] zephiK:
+1 UPS / FedEx > USPS for me. USPS tracking is awful. It would say delivery date 2 days from today when in actuality, it would arrive the next day.

I personally never had any problems with UPS / FedEx or USPS. USPS tracking is what bothers me the most but I definitely prefer UPS as the delivery man comes at around ~10:30 AM - 1 PM :p
[Nexus 5 General] umbra6:
lol...yes indeed USPS tracking sucks.

https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=9400109699937032886746

If you click that link it says what I ordered from somewhere is shipment info received. I got the package 2 days ago.
[Nexus 5 General] harveydent:
Approximately 16.5 billion packages are shipped by USPS from Thanksgiving to Christmas.

UPS expects to deliver more than 220 million parcels around the world during the peak week leading up Christmas, up from the 113 million shipped during the same period a year ago.

FedEx expects to ship 160 Million packages this holiday season.

But yes, USPS tracking sucks.

[Nexus 5 General] bobalias:
I actually use my phone for voice calls quite a bit, and I don't at all trust a pure VOIP solution over LTE or HSPA+ given how terrible the network is in a lot of places. Also, I'd rather use my actual number for calls than my Google Voice number. I never use more than 5GB of data though, so that plan would work from a data standpoint. If there's some workaround I don't know about I'd love to hear it though.

Where's my apology?

-The Sprint Nexus 5 really is launching on Nov 8, the T-Mobile variant likely following that week

-The boot animation has changed slightly(no more X from N4, now gpe circles)

-There was a Halloween campaign/announcement

What was I wrong about?

Anyone attempt a Verizon sim yet?
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
Do Verizon and sprint use the same type of radio? I know their both CDMA and that you can activate sprint phones on pageplus by flashing it and pageplus runs on Verizon so maybe it'll work.
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
You have to be kidding. If you are having lunch with an Google exec, I am sure they are not sharing release dates for Sprint and T-Mobile variants of a Nexus device. There was no Halloween campaign. There wasn't even an announcement. It was actually released on the 31st. That is the release date and there were a lot of people who were expecting that.

So no apology needed.Tell Andy I said hello.

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ----------

Same here. Monday will be the day for lots of us. I just listed my N4 on eBay for a 5 day auction. Started it at $199. Hopefully I can get a little more then that to soften the N5 blow although I only paid $250 for the N4 when Google was dumping them.

Aio Wireless
[Nexus 5 General] ctowne:
That's kind of what I was thinking. The phone does support Verizon bands. By the 4G clause (or whatever it's called lol) doesn't Verizon legally have to allow you to use it on their network? It's kind of similar to that whole fiasco with the new Nexus 7 and using it on Verizon.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
I'm not sure. Currently I use pageplus but they don't support 4g and if I flash then phone it'll mess up the 4g on it so Ill probably switch to something like h2o or straight talk and thatnway I can just buy one of the prepaid cards whenever I need it.
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
It doesn't support all the LTE bands. And no they don't have to legally allow it on their network (and they won't) since it is not a LTE only device.

[Nexus 5 General] ctowne:
At the moment I don't believe you can buy the phone anywhere but the Play Store.
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
lol no. The release was 31 October, there was no Halloween-themed release with people wearing costumes and what-not. Now we expect you not to buy an N5 for a year as promised.

[Nexus 5 General] ctowne:
They are backed up for 2-3 weeks for the black 32 model. Unless you buy it on eBay I don't think you'll be able to get one for a little while.

They said it had micro SD card slot...by the unboxing videos, it looks like it doesn't have it.
[Nexus 5 General] jimbridgman:
LOL!!!

Not sure which unboxing video you watched, but the Nexus have never and most likely will never have an sd-card. Google has been very clear on their stance with sd-cards and their reasoning for not putting a card slot in the nexus phones.

Google search is your friend with things like this.

I was planning on buying the nexus 4 literally an hour before it was removed from the play store forever. I couldn't buy an 8GB phone that didn't have expandable storage. With the 32GB nexus 5 I think I'll be very happy.
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
That is because Google seemed to have more supply this time around so there isn't going to be a huge markup on these. In 2-3 weeks there will no longer be a wait time anyways.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
Thanks I'll probably get a 16 gig. That's enough for me but I already bid on one on eBay for 350 as my max with 10 dollar shipping. There's a couople hours left and I'm in the lead so if I win it then I'll save the money on the tax from Google which is about 25 dollars on the 16 gig. I'd I lose this one I'll bif a little higher unless it goes over the 25 dollars tax for Google because that way I'll get it faster. If not I'll just buy it from Google.

[Nexus 5 General] mtucker:
My 32GB black N5 is headed to North San Diego (Rancho Bernardo). On 11/01/2013 it arrived Ontario at 4:59PM PM and left at 10PM. There has been no updates since then. Since it is only 1.5 hours from Ontario to N. San Diego, I have to assume it is sitting in a nearby warehouse or truck waiting for Monday morning. For kicks, I called UPS and asked about picking it up from whatever warehouse it went to. The UPS person said since the shipper didn't specify (I read that as "pay for") Saturday pickup, I would have to wait for it to be delivered. That was fine as I would probably only get myself in trouble with the family if I picked it up Saturday.

I always have my toys delivered to work so someone is there to sign for it and I can start playing right away. I have a thumb drive loaded up with media so I can start copying it over at work, Coolpad Qi charger already plugged in at my desk, Bluetooth devices packed up I can get those paired at work..... during lunch of course ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Exel:
Maybe mine is coming directly from there as that location is only an hour away from me.

I'm getting worried because my UPS packages usually rest in Gardena, CA for me before they get sent out to delivery, but this one stayed in Ontario, CA and hasn't had any updates since Friday at 5PM like yours.
[Nexus 5 General] mtucker:
I was wondering about USB OTG also since I saw several threads that said it didn't work out of the box. Looking at the leaked LG service manual, it sure seems like the N5 has the hardware to support OTG. That link had good info in it (that you may need root and/or an app to make USB OTG work). 32GB will normally be fine, but I did buy a Meenova so I can use my 64GB uSD card to swap out files as needed on the road. The Meenova website had this to say "Google: Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 (2012 Original & 2013 New), Nexus 10; all require third-party software or device being rooted." I found the Nexus media importer app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer has been used on other Nexus devices. We still get 15 minutes to return apps so I may give it a try tomorrow. I normally root, but like to run the devices for at least a few days stock to check it out.

[Nexus 5 General] the7thson:
Both of my 32GB black N5s arrived today and I'm afraid I'm currently a bit underwhelmed for some reason :( I have owned every Nexus phone ever made and I'm currently coming from an HTC One, I consider myself to be an Android and Nexus fanatic, but for some reason I'm not feeling the excitement with the N5 in hand yet. I think it's probably just the lack of custom ROMs and the fact that I'm not yet using the really high dpi settings system wide, so hopefully the excitement will be back shortly!

The camera is undeniably worse than the HTC One, the screen is a bit washed out too, but I'm sure that can fixed by using a custom kernel and changing the gamma and RGB levels.

On the plus side, I'm glad to have wireless charging again. I missed that going from the N4 to the HTC One.

As far as size goes, I was a bit afraid it would be too big but it's actually a bit easier to use with one hand than the One.

Overall though, these are still Nexus devices so I'll be keeping them both and handing over the HTC One to my fiance :)

You are not alone bro. The phone feels okay in hand, but not as good as the N4. I have the official bumper and it does make the phone look bulky and ugly in it. Cannot recommend it.
