and the official video

forgot that! added

 

[grudas]

Would it be terribly over indulgent to own an S4 and a Nexus 5? Perhaps I could buy a family member a Nexus 5 for Christmas and just forget to give it to them.

I have a brand new oppo find 5 sitting in the box.. and another 4 month old 32gb find 5.. and I've ordered nexus 5.. simply too hard to say no and If I didn't like it I wouldn't lose much selling it!

Why is there only a 16Gb version on the UK version of the site?

Can we order from the US site?

just click a couple of times.. had no problems ordering 32gb black.

 

[grudas]

Was that from the US site?

uk one of the links posted in the OP

The camera is the real unknown here.

should be alright, looking at the video they do focus on the camera this time..

 

[grudas]

Was hoping that the 32GB version would come in at no higher than £300...but it came in at £340. Now thinking if I should pay buy a new Sony Z Xperia Ultra 4GB instead for £420...

Thought it is $349 for the US for the 16GB...that's £217.42. Add VAT that should come to £261 for the 16GB version...how did it end up being £299? UK premium tax again?

UK gets hit every time, nothing new really

z ultra is a completely different phone?! its massive tablet like thing..

 

[grudas]

The other thread got closed so I'll try again here:

Anyone know if this is Micro or Nano SIM? Seeing conflicting information from searching on Google

micro, confirmed by one of the guys that had a play with it(ocuker)

 

[grudas]

I wonder If we'll get some kitkats with the nexus orders..

 

[grudas]

It's dangerous for me to read that kind of stuff. It's almost like being given the green light to spend a load of money.

you know it makes sense n+1 is the correct number of phones to have.

 

[grudas]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but...

When Nexus 4 was out, its CPU was like faster than any phone had at the time, plus a very bargin price; but now Nexus 5's CPU is only matching what's already out there for a while, and prices is higher than Nexus 4 launch?

I'm not trolling, I'm just trying to analysis it calmly without being taken over by the hype...

Still not sure to order or not...especially no review yet.

it had snapdragon s4, lg had already released a phone with that cpu and I'm sure some others had it too it wasn't the only phone that had it.. pretty much the same with n5 the latest/greatest cpu for a mobile device.

 

[grudas]

I decided to Order 32gb/Black.

I cant wait to see if it is better than my Orange San Francisco.

you can borrow a brick I have laying in my garden? that has better cpu and build quality than SF..

 

[grudas]

But the price is higher this time round though?

well depends how you look at it..

n4 was released in 2 flavors, the 8gb and 16gb

8gb was 260 with delivery and 16gb was 299 with delivery

this time they have released 16 and 32gb and 16 is now 310 with delivery and 32gb is 350 with delivery.

 

[grudas]

You've got the N4 £10 too expensive there

that was with delivery..?!

wasn't the 8gb 249 and 16gb 289? + 10 delivery

 

[grudas]

Ah right forgotten about the ram size difference. Thanks for reminding me.

Still wish we'd get some review soon on the camera etc.

sensible thing to do

 

[grudas]

Has anyone confirmed what type of sim it takes?

micro..

mine still says pending? or am I missing something?

 

[grudas]

Go to the Google Play homepage, click on the cog on the right hand side of the pages and select 'My Orders'

It should tell you the dispatch by date under 'Status'

ah! 5th of november

 

[grudas]

Mine just shipped. Ordered at 18:01 delivery says 1-3 business days.

I'm moist.. ordered 18.07... WAAAITITINNNG

 

[grudas]

now now cmon don't start crying about ordering times and no dispatch.. expansys AFAIK is taking care of the dispatches.. so it's not google this time

 

[grudas]

£549.99 from o2, bloke I spoke to about mine said its pot luck on whether they'll be SIM free or not

wait wait wait waaait.. did you buy the 32gb for 549?

 

[grudas]

Haha - Expansys - the same guys who made me wait A MONTH for a refund on a phone return, forcing me to get my bank involved to get my money back. We'll see if they can be trusted not to muck up deliveries...

yeah I've heard your bad experience with them.. BTW SHIPPED!

 

[grudas]

Anyone get a google play dispatch for a black 32GB yet?

yes, ordered 18.07
