Hoping there is a camera review in the next few days. I'll order one next week and then the S4 can go to a new home. Its 16Gb that's selling like hot cakes but the 32Gb is safe for the time being

Gonna wait a week or 2 for the reviews to come out. That way I will know what to expect and my phone won't have been in the warehouse for as long..maybe hardware rev 1.2?

Any ideas how this is stacking up against the Note III in CPU and screen terms?
It's a plastic phone and so should be more resistant to drops that most premium phones.
Don't drop it though as no phone will withstand a hit to the face of the phone.
Depends how clumsy you are really. I use my phones without a case and haven't managed to break one yet. However if you do drop the phone from chest height and it lands face down on a hard surface, you will have a high chance of breaking the glass.
No glass back this time around, which is awesome. The glass back on the Nexus 4 was a bit annoying to be honest. The new matt material seems like it should make the phone really grippy.

My first order is showing as "Leaves warehouse by 5 November 2013.", while the other is saying "Pending". On the phone to Google, some American guy who could barely understand me (don't blame him, even in London nobody could) said that one of the orders is in the process of being cancelled, and the other one is fine. Fingers crossed, knowing my luck I either get 2 phones or both get cancelled.
Any guesses when they'll hit the shops? Loks like a few shops will have them this time rather than just o2. Carephone warehouse seem to be charging £295 for 16gig.
As with some of the others, i'll wait for reviews of the camera. I love my nexus 4, apart from the camera is less than perfect lighting. CEX can have my nexus 4 then

Does this warrant an upgrade from the N4 that much, what does this do that the N4 can't or doesn't do very well?
I usually like new tech, but I'm having doubts on this one for some reason as an N4 owner.

Ordered two phones - Pending! omg omg want confirmation.
I've not even looked at specs yet

I'm thinking the same, I don't think it is a worthy enough upgrade personally, I think the N4 is a more than capable phone and will be for a good while. It's never skipped a beat, only thing that N5 might do better is camera and battery but that remains to be seen!
Think i'll sit this round out, by the time the N4-2 or N5-2 comes round i'll probably be ready to upgrade!

LTE?
It's a shame that over here Verizon is still the coverage king, I'd love to switch to T-Mobile with their SIM-only plan but the US is still stuck in the stone age when it comes to the networks controlling everything. Slowly making progress though....
