Yep mine was a 32GB white, ordered last night from GPS. Email saying it's been shipped (although status says delivered). Parcelforce tracking shows it's in the London depot - I guess sometime just before/after midnight I'll find out if I will receive it tomorrow. If it moves overnight to the Leeds depot, then I'll get it tomorrow, even if it means a trip to the depot.
Prepare to get moaned at if you buy sim only though. The guys in store who are on profit targets hate it.

Just been to Central Milton Keynes's CPW, asked if they got any stock on Nexus 5, the staff said yes, but only later to be disappointed that only black is still in stock, and all the whites are sold-out in the morning. Had the white been in stock, I might have bought in on impulse.
While I was at the shopping center, I thought I might as well look at other phones for real instead of pictures on monitor. To be honest, having looked at the displayed Nexus 5 and then other phones like Sony Z1 and Samsung Galaxy S4, the Nexus 5 just doesn't look like a premium product (granted it ain't, it's supposed to be bargain/bang for bucks for the spec). With consideration on appearance, camera spec, battery, storage etc, I honestly think it might be better to pay the price premium and get Sony or Samsung instead (can find them for around £380 to £400 ish). I dunno...something about the Nexus 5...it just seem too plain and boring

Can you collect from the depot without the delivery slip?

Anyone else think the sound is proper tinny? I also can't get Google now to work when I say okay Google, wth?
Think you have to have the screen on and be in the default launcher home screens.

I read somewhere that the "OK Google..." command only works when you have US English selected.

Bit gutted there isn't touchless control same as the Moto x, the phone has to be already awake

Yeah, never ever had a problem doing that.... I've even phoned up early on a morning and asked them not to deliver and to hold it at the depot for me. If you see it shipping to your depot tonight you should have no worries picking it up tomorrow.... useful if it's not going to be delivered until Monday

This is almost as bad as guys queueing outside an apple store for hours

Ordered 32gb white on Google play last night... just received email saying it's dispatched
Using the tracker it seems to be sitting in London at the mo. Seems to be Royal Mail (Parcel force) being used... if i miss it at least i won't have a stupid round trip to get to depot.
mine now says its been shipped too
Soldato
it might have been already because even though i just got the email, it been in the london deport since half 12!
Fingers crossed!

Mines been there since 7:20 and hasn't moved since.

Can always call them and they can check there systems manually and send you a tracking number.
