For what it's worth, Mine said "Pending October 21 - 23" and "Leaves warehouse by 20th". It switched to Processing on the 19th and was delivered on the 20th. so I'd expect it to arrive early next week if I were you.

Went from 5 to 5X yesterday. I thought it would be a gimmick feature, but the fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone is a godsend!

When you pick the phone up to use it, your index finger naturally falls on it and the phone unlocks in an instant.

I would prefer it if t was the same size as the Nexus 5, hard to hold it from the bottom with one hand and stretch your thumb to the top of it, I have fairly long fingers too.

Now, where to buy USB A to USB C or microUSB to USB C adapters..

Just received an email saying mine has shipped! Perhaps Google do peruse the whole internet after all.

Meh. I was pressing the camera lens for ages thinking the thing didn't work! I've got used to it now though.

I agree the fingerprint scanner is incredible. So quick to gain access to your phone but remaining secure and safe.

Use your wang. If she want's to use your phone she's already one step closer to making your pinkie stinky. Win win!

Mine just died at 3:30 screen on time, last charge was 38 hours ago. Could probably get more screen-on time in less total time.

Nexus 5X shipped - third order lucky!

I would be interested to know what USB-A to USB-C cables people have gone for..? Also a quick charging USB car charger thing.

Meh, I added her finger to it so she can grab my phone to change the Sonos if hers isn't around.

Just turned on Developer mode to disable all of the animations, feels nice and snappy.

Easy to repair:

I must have a faulty phone. The battery life is terrible. It was fully charged 8 hours ago, only 1 hour screen on time for a bit of browsing, had a 90 min phone call, no streaming or downloading etc and its only got 25% battery left.

Edit to add, Was fully charged at 6am and with streaming radio x for 4 hours this morning, and few calls & bit of browsing was nearly dead at 11am

my old 2 year old moto g would have still been going off one charge with this usage!

Someones managed to add QI Charging support

Mine was due for delivery 26-28th of October but was delivered on the 20th. Still not used it yet though as I'm currently working away.

I have a couple of type c to micro USB converters, type c OTG cables and a type A to c cables. More than enough to sort me out.

An aukey fast charger too along with the stock one.

Is the aukey fast charger a usb-c one or do you just use your adapter cable in it?

Freefaller · 24 Oct 2015 at 12:56

Type a to type c.

Went up to the Enchanted Forest light display in Pitlochry last night and took some photos with my phone. Very dark scenes, almost all shot with auto settings (HDR+ enabled), handheld etc. Quite impressed to be honest!
