*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

I ordered mine at gone midnight last night coz I was out all evening and at the time it said mine wouldn't be despatched until the 8th November! :(
 
Went onto the bay to see if people were selling theirs and some have gone for £430 already! Don't people know you can still get them from the Play store!?
 
Ordered this morning at 10am ish (white 32gb). Just received an email saying it's been shipped!!
 
What's Google returns process like? Wife went and got one from CPW knowing I had ordered her one from Play :/

They're using a different supplier this time compared to the n4 launch so no one knows, but if it's like the n4 be prepared for Hell.
 
I might cancel mine, I want one but I don't need one... The S2 might get an official Samsung 4.4 KitKat release and as it's supposed to improve performance on older kit... The pull of shiny and new is strong though! I might keep the S2 going and get a new iPad instead. I tend to use my iPad 2 a lot more than my phone anyway.
 
Pretty certain they allocate the funds, but don't 'take' the money. Not much difference either way though.

See I don't like that. Don't mind that it hasn't shipped yet, it has always said "by 5th November" and it aint the 5th yet. But to "allocate" the funds without telling me is a bit iffy after saying the don't take payment until dispatch. Esdpecially on something a lot of people are waiting on eagerly.

Not a hope the S2 will get an official 4.4 release. I'm not even sure the S3 will.

You can always whack CM10.3 (or whatever the 4.4 version of it will be called) on there though. :) I've been running CM10.2 (4.3) on my S3 for a few months now, and it's all good and well. :)
 
mine said that last night and then this morning 5th and now 10mins ago, being shipped lol

Where do you check to see if the order despatch date has been updated?? All I've got is my e-mail which, obviously, still says "despatched by 8 November"

I assume I'd get an e-mail with an actual despatch notice when it happens??

*edit* nevermind, found the page and my order still says it's "Pending" and no change to the delivery date! :(

Yeah only source is a Samsung "insider" so far. I use custom roms buts it's nice if they start off an official base. I can't bring myself to hit the cancel button though!
