Great news, thanks for clearing that up. I guess MKBHD must have just had a faulty review unit.

Can you tell us whether the lag on your N5 in particular is all the time or just when you have a certain number of tabs open?
Thanks.

hard to say, so when i first use the phone it lags or stutters a little, its a strange one as the look and feel or the 5.0 is great, IMO it is just not as snappy as KK

This really puts me off that the N5 is faster than the N6, due to faster read time.

This speed difference will no doubt be fixed.
I bet the bods over at XDA will have a work around soon

If google/moto decide/manage to use the hardware capabilities of the 805 rather than software encryption maybe we will see better performance.

Looks promising.
I do wonder how a team responsible for such a huge annual release could not notice things like "it's slower than an n5" or "the storage benchmarks are awful"...
It would take all of half a day to look at some online reviews to see how a device was going to be reviewed and then run those tests on your prototype. Bizarre.
I've never had a white phone before, always black but I think it looks much better than the blue version. If they had a black one I'd get that instead
IT IS SHOCKING...
i love google / android but doing some of the stuff they do is unforgivable

For anyone that has ordered through CPW, and has only received the original order email, best check with your bank to see if they've attempted to take the money?
With a few on here getting their order mysteriously cancelled, I decided to check with my bank to see if funds were applied for (even though I've had no cancellation email) and low and behold, they had not applied for funds!
So I called CPW, and was told, 'Oh sorry, we haven't taken the payment and as such the order hasn't gone through!' so I had to be put through to another dept for them to take the payment, and here's the kicker, my order only counts from the moment the payment was taken, a day after my order was made!!! So if I don't make the first batch of phones delivered, CPW will certainly be feeling the fury of the Monkey!
So best check if I were you!

well i'll update you guys on my CPW experience
my order was cancelled so i placed a second order with them
these both were cancelled but they took payment for it
I spoke to them and my bank and they agreed to cancel the transaction so no money would leave my account.
today I check my account and what do i see, the money has left my account.
I call them up again today and they inform me that they did take the payment and they'll issue a refund. this will take 14 days.
not happy at all, really really not happy
