I'm hoping the screen on the Nexus 5 is as good as the 7. Moving from my Nexus S to the 4 was such a disappointment on that front. Sure the resolution and such were better, but the Nexus 4's screen is so washed out in comparison to almost every other phone ive used.

Read this thread. The N5 seems to be all people talk about in here.

I'm glad Samsung made a device with the look and feel of TouchWiz.
Guys, in my phone app, under the contact listing it always showed my frequently contacted people there... how do I get it back? Or at the very least maybe some sort of 'favourites' system like iOS has? I hate having to keep trawling through my contacts, when realistically there are only a handful of numbers I regularly call
Thanks
(edit) oh! If you go into the 'People' app you can hit the star in the top right of each contact's profile page. They show up at the very top now which is great, but the tiles are huge... will see if I can change that somehow

New phone? Frequent contacts will automatically move to the top of the list as you start making more calls and texts. Otherwise, as you discovered, you can star favourite contacts and it shows them as tiles.
So now the speculation is that this Google+ event will be where they unveil the Nexus 5 and 4.4 because Vic Gundotra used a #momentsthatmatter hashtag when talking about the event on Google+.

Leave it to Google to announce their latest flagship phone and newest OS release at a press event headlined by their little-used social network.

Little used? There's over a billion people registered to it.

To be fair everyone I know is registered to it, but nobody actually USES it.
Even if 10% are active that's still 100 million active users, nothing to sneeze at.

Looks suspiciously like the Yahoo! Phone.

Most of them didn't have a choice or were tricked into it. I still hate Google for turning my YouTube account into that Google+ crap by asking every single time and that one time I didn't pay attention and boom, welcome to G+, bitch.
Not through choice.
I knew someone was going to call me on that. The point is Google+ is a lot less of a draw than the Nexus line or Android.
Well I'll be tuning into the live event! That's 1!!! ;-)
to me it seems like closer to 0% are active. I don't have enough friends to have a large enough sample size to sample an active G+ user.
PhoneArena can eat shit. Like, seriously. They and Android Authority are like the two worst sites to listen to when it comes to news and rumours.
I would think it would be close to 1% than 10%. I think even saying 1% is being far to generous.
That may be true, but this isn't a rumor so much as it is a connecting of the dots. We shall see in an hour or so...

Amen, sister.
PhoneArena is absolutely dogshit. From the 32gb/3000mAh to the MEMS camera bullshit, they're the fucking Michael Pachter of Nexus 5 predictions, i.e., ALWAYS wrong.

Imagine if it did go to Verizon. I mean hell, Galaxy S4 is actually getting 4.3 (which is live now). So that seems like a small miracle.

Yeah, imagine if it came to Verizon. I wonder what that would be li...
Oh, right. It would be a hot mess.

Nice lol.
I'd still take it over any other phone available on Verizon.
Thank you, nope I've been using this for ages now (Galaxy S3) but maybe a Cyanogenmod messed it up somehow, unfortunately there's definitely nothing like most frequently contacted, though there used to be

Uhhh phonebloks is real? I did not see that coming. Way to go, Googlerola. Even if it comes out as a horrible Frankenstein's monster, it's still great exploration that might lead to other things.
Eh, I'm still skeptical and will see if it's actually good whenever it comes out
Where'd you see this?

Amazon's Kindel thinks it's a stupid idea.
Ara is a stupid idea. We're already at the point where cost of the plastics & connectors are greater than the electronics.
