*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

Starting to think something is wrong with my order, still sat on Pending - got a feeling bank is being fussy again. :rolleyes:
 
Few things I've noticed over the past days use.

Google now seems to be broke, neither handset reacts to "OK Google" (edit, set voice to us to enable)
When you press the right button to show what apps are open, there is no "clear all" button, you need to swipe all individual.
The speaker sound is awful, never seen a phone so bad, easily the weak point of this phone.
The screen is beautiful, me and my gf can't get over how nice it is.
The whole device feels premium in you hand, nice to hold.
Not had much to do with camera but seems decent enough.
Battery feels fine, never ran out yesterday with pretty intense use.
SMS integration to hangouts seems okay but think I prefers having this separate which you can't do ATM.
The phone is super smooth, not had any slow down even with 15+ apps and games open it still flies.
New dialer has great features including searching company names, if they ain't in your contact list it will Google search and give you the number anyway, neat!

Only a days use but overall I'm happy so far, the tinny sound is the big let down here.

Well, disappointed. Rang Nottingham depot saying that I would like to collect my parcel, the guy just said we need to make a delivery attempt before you try collection :-$ looks like it'll be Monday for me.

Sample video footage from my N5 -


Comparison to my S4 uploading now too (although S4 is on PACman ROM and really doesn't look very good! Will flash stock and re-do soon)
 
Just spoke to Stoke depot and she said it could come today or it has been loaded to the truck for Monday delivery.
I asked if I could go and pick it up and she said no, it has to have been attempted delivery at least once first.
Looks like we will be waiting till Monday then :)
 
Here's the comparison, I'm sure the S4 doesn't normally look this bad?!? Desperately trying to flash S4 to stock and re-do before I have to leave for work...

 
The camera quality is turning into the real surprise for me with this phone. Some good comparisons can be found here: http://recombu.com/mobile/news/google-nexus-5-camera-comparison_M19696.html

It seems especially good in low light conditions.

Ill put a few of them in here too:

No update since 7am yesterday on my Parcelforce tracking, still showing as collected from customer. Was hoping it would at least arrive at the Leeds depot last night/this morning as I am off Karting near there today and could have picked it up.

Looks like it will be Mon/Tues now!
 
I've never heard of a courier that will let you pick it up before a delivery attempt
Why.. I do not know.. But that's the way it is

I've got the exact same status, can't see it getting over here to Belfast by Tuesday :(
