32 GB Black bought, shipping from warehouse on 11/5. Don't let me down, Google.

 

[TwIsTeD]

[VPhys]

Fucking Verizon

 

[Rur0ni]

Real bummer no Verizon. Such is life.

 

[Ephemeris]

Welcome back to Top Tier Nexus phones.

32GB Black ordered.

 

[SUPREME1]

In like Flynn.


TY based Googy.

 

[javac]

Nexus 5: I do

 

[Vaux]

Order 32gb White!!

 

[threetri333]

Upgrading from 8GB Nexus 4 to 16GB Nexus 5.

Where's the new Nexus 10? I wanted the tablet more.

 

[Krauser Kat]

so this is good on verizon right?

 

[chaosblade]

New thread?

Got my 16GB Black ordered, says it ships by 11/5. First Android phone for me.

 

[DrFunk]

Yes, it works on ATT

T-Mobile and Sprint seem to be carriers that are going to sell it

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Case recommendations?

 

[Stat Flow]

so this is good on verizon right?

Wrong. Only AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint

 

[GJS]

£299 for 16GB and £339 for 32GB + shipping on top.

£20 more than the nexus 4 was.

Triggered my fraud protection so had to deal with that as well.

Ordered the white 16gb for a change.

 

[beanman25]

Which case is the best value?

 

[Radec]

Is there a way to order if you're outside the US?

I have a friend in the US who can receive it.

 

[BertramCooper]

Snagged a 32 GB black! This was so much easier than last year.

I was tempted to go with a white, but I dunno, the two-tone thing just looks kinda weird. Plus, white devices can discolor, depending on the material.

 

[CharmingCharlie]

Was interested in a 32gb Nexus 5 but at £339 + £10 postage that is a bit too much for my tastes since I already have a Nexus 4. I was hoping Google would go with £249 for 16gb and £299 for the 32gb.

 

[Tenacious-V]

32GB Black Bought

$399 + $16.99Shipping + $47.88Tax = CA$463.87

Ships Nov. 5th

* 16GB Black/White, Sold out on Canadian Play Store. *

 

[DrFunk]

so this is good on verizon right?

no

 

[MaXsPoT]

Anyone got their confirmation email?
I got the page with "Order placed", but didn't receive any email.

 

[GusBus]

Ordered four, plan to have them all sold for profit before the credit card bill is due. I'm a shmuck, trying to make a buck. Come at me bros.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Snagged a 32 GB black! This was so much easier than last year.

I was tempted to go with a white, but I dunno, the two-tone thing just looks kinda weird. Plus, white devices can discolor, depending on the material.

I considered the white heavily, until someone pointed out that the earpiece on the front is also white, which looks terrible.

 

[Krauser Kat]

no

... i havent been this sad since i separated with my wife.

[kharma45]

£299 for 16GB and £339 for 32GB + shipping on top.

£20 more than the nexus 4 was.

Triggered my fraud protection so had to deal with that as well.

Ordered the white 16gb for a change.

I had hoped it'd just replace the N4 at the price tiers it had plus £20, so the 32GB would've been £299.

£350 delivered is too much for me, pity.

CPW will apparently have the 16GB for £295 too.

 

[teiresias]

That it works on T-Mobile and Sprint is very tempting, as I'd like to try T-Mobile, but have no idea what their coverage is like where I tend to be, but I know Sprint is ok, so I at least have a fall-back in case getting the T-Mobile prepaid doesn't work because of coverage.

I'll just need to verify that this can be activated on Ting in case I want to stay on the Sprint network because I'd rather not have to be on my Sprint contract anymore.

 

[CronoShot]

I'm a bit nervous. I got my order in for a 32GB black right as people were starting to say it's sold out.

Googy pls

 

[Stat Flow]

This is really such a good value. To think that a Galaxy Note 3 on Sprint is $349 ON CONTRACT. Thank you based Google.

Since my contract is up in December I think I'm gonna get this and an iPhone at the same time.

 

[Bots are better than you]

Like i said in the now closed thread, german playstore is out of stock already.

 

[ReRixo]

Looks nice, but it's way too big... I want a Nexus 4 (4 inch screen)

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

16gb Black ordered.

Now the wait begins.....

 

[massivekettle]

32 GB Black bought, shipping from warehouse on 11/5. Don't let me down, Google.

Likewise.

Didn't expect steeper prices.... only £50-80 cheaper than an S4 / HTC One.

 

[Totalriot]

Seems I was too late for the 32 GB model. Got the 16 GB black for 349€. I guess this is still OK for me, as I currently have a 16 GB SD card in my Galaxy 1 which is never even half full.

 

[LogicStep]

I wonder if I can get this phone cheaper if I get it with a contract.

 

[Moral Panic]

Amazing how this has Dual band wireless ac and the new consoles don't.

Does this phone have a light/indicator so you can tell if you received a text/phone call without turning it on?

 

[Stuart444]

I'll probably get the 16GB on Monday. Don't have money in until then.

My HTC Desire HD which I've had for several years is on its last legs.

 

[BertramCooper]

Anyone got their confirmation email?
I got the page with "Order placed", but didn't receive any email.

Yeah, I got a confirmation email.

I considered the white heavily, until someone pointed out that the earpiece on the front is also white, which looks terrible.

Oh yikes, didn't notice that.

And we seem to be getting enough varieties in color from the official bumpers and cases that the white seems kinda irrelevant, unless one insists on going naked.

 

[GusBus]

Hope that works put for you. The fact that this is still selling without problems might mean anybody who wants one is getting one.

Maybe you can make a buck selling to countries that came buy it?

I have a few days to cancel. I'll see if it sells out or not.

 

[Valnen]

$50 price hike? Ouch.

 

[Hazaro]

Time to do the fun phone number and carrier shuffle after I get it.

Looks nice, but it's way too big... I want a Nexus 4 (4 inch screen)

The Nexus 4 measures 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1mm and weighs 139g, compared to the Nexus 5 which comes in at 137.84 x 69.17 x 8.59 mm and hits the scales at 130g.

Yeah okay.

 

[WillyFive]

Aweso....

no

...aww. Never mind then, this phone is useless to me.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Cancelled my white order for a black... Hopefully it still ships the same time.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I feel like killing someone at Verizon... I fucking hate them so much...

 

[lobdale]

16GB black now no longer "in stock" and will "leave warehouse by Nov. 8th." 16GB white and both 32s still in stock.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Just called my local Sprint store, they've never even heard of it. So there is really no way to get this before Monday, is there?

 

[Saroyan]

It looks nice, but no Verizon and no SD slot means I'll never get it, oh well.

 

[Levyne]

Verizon
