*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

were those photos taken using a potato?

Probably a Nexus 4 Will be glad to get a phone with a better camera tbh

No protector on the back....

well the nexus 4 came with a protector on the back so have they changed it for the nexus 5?

seems a bit of a dumb move if they have. how easy is it to mark the back on the white ones?

you shouldn't need to buy credit for any sim free phone.

also since it's sim free why would you need credit?

only need to buy credit usually if it's locked therefore cheaper to buy in the first place as the service provider subsidises the costs.

Yeah I thought that BUT when you reserve and collect online it says cash payments will have to buy 20 quid credit. Assume it's just a standard message or they really do mean actual cash notes not card. Will find out when I pop into town in 30 mins I guess!

Cash means cash, something to do with security (rubbish really) card payments don't need extra, they apply this.to PAYG as well.

The N4 back was glass though, I see no reason for them to stick a protector on matt rubber.

How can O2 be charging that price for a Nexus 5 32Gb?

You could get a Sony Z1 or a HTC One or an S4 for less than that. The worst part is people will actually buy it.

Can someone help me find the phone number to call Google to cancel my order since I cannot cancel online?

Says 0800 328 6081 on my order confirmation screen, just below the "cancel order" button

Very pleasing that Google seemed to have the stock issues sorted - everyone who has wanted one has got one ordered.

 

[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!

nexus 4's main issue was focusing, how does it fare when you move the camera about quickly at focusing?

don't mean shake your hands wildly and take some photos but if you do move about quickly does it focus okay or is it a blurry mess?
