Martini1991 · 31 Oct 2013 at 20:09

Somewhat wish I'd waited for this over the Z1.
But oh well.

Camalot · 31 Oct 2013 at 20:10

God damn, can't cancel my other order of 2 phones !!

She seemed very confident. Maybe depends on your address? I am getting delivered to work in The City.

Don't get caught in the hype. If I had the spare cash I'd buy a Z1 over the N5 in a heartbeat. Superior in every way.

Is there really a Sony Z Xperia Ultra 4GB model?
Don't you mean Sony Z Xperia Ultra 4G (ie. Network 4G LTE model)?
A typo on your part perhaps...

Can you kindly clarify. As that is the one phone I personally really like. An the 2GB of RAM memory, is the one serious stopping block, forcing me not to buy it. If there was a 4GB RAM model; I'd be all over hit like crazy.
I look forward to next years 6.4/6.6" Ultra model...

Sorry typo was meant to say 4G

I do apologise for getting your hopes up on a 4GB ram variant. Is having only 2GB of ram REALLY gonna be not enough?

I've been thinking that as well. I really like the look of the Sony's as well looks really smart, the Nexus 5 on the other hand looks a bit too...conservative?

Also no expandable storage on the Nexus 5 as well. Really starting to think the Z1 worth the price premium...

My delivery address couldn't be more than a couple of miles from your workplace then.

Oh well, maybe they only had a certain number of Friday deliveries available.

+1

Anyone with an S4, HTC One, Z1 or any other top of the line phone is only going backwards if they get the N5.

Personally, i dont think the 8Mp camera is going to be that great. I only expect it to be slightly better than the N4. Awaiting reviews.....

Girlfriend just ordered a White 32GB one and its showing leave warehouse by 5th!! I'm going to be very jealous with my nexus 4....

But still pending.....

Still not received confirmation email....but all looks good in account under orders....

Google have what a 14 day or so return policy? This is great since I can't get hands on with the phone until my one arrives and I can decide if I like it or not

I am going from a G2 to N5, (I had the One before this), Still have the G2 so depending on how much I like N5 will sell the G2 or return the N5.

That gives me plenty of time to decide if I like it better than my current S4, to be honest the specs look good and since getting my N7 I like stock android so it'll probably be a keeper.

Then you have lots to gain

gsf600y · 31 Oct 2013 at 20:23

My black 16GB says "dispatches by 5th Nov", so must have got an early one.
They're now saying "leaves warehouse by 8 November".

Who knows.

photoshop · 31 Oct 2013 at 20:23

How long do we think before we see Paranoid Android rom on the N5?
A few weeks? I imagine they will have to code it using Kitkat 4.4...?

Haha I prefer G2 over Htc One though. I think I will keep the N5 based on stock and google updates.

Although I am certain the camera will be a step backwards (I don't really care about the camera though).

New charging mat looks good, will get one if I plump ofr the N5 (have an N7 already).

Ya, black 32gb is on 8th Nov now, I have it as 5th, Seems Google did learn from N4 launch. At least the ordering/inventory part.
