Nearly ordered one. Last minute I though "Is this phone going to anything my nexus 4 can't?" And the answer was nope for me
The Nexus 4 camera is the worst camera to ever grace the Nexus line.

Re: Nexus 5
#102I just ordered one, but I'm currently on Verizon. What does everyone think is the best way to go in terms of non-contract carriers for the N5? Heard some good things about Straight Talk, but also read that their customer service is horrible.

#103Earlier quoted context omitted.
Part of the problem is since Verizon is CDMA and there's not really SIM cards, they can just say: "Your ESN doesn't look like a device we want to support, you can't activate it, sucks to be you"
This is completely false. Verizon uses SIM cards for many devices.
All non-LTE communication relies on the ESN number only. If Verizon doesn't assign a Verizon ESN number to a device and/or refuses to activate whatever ESN the device may already have then you're out of luck. You want Verizon to give you an ESN they'll agree to activate and you're not Apple? Make sure the word "Verizon" is physically printed on the phone, make sure you include a bunch of bloatware, don't ever try releasing software updates because we'll delay them by months, etc.. etc...
You don't have to deal with this kind of nonsense with GSM carriers so long as you have an unlocked phone you're good to go.

#105As an African/Nigerian I am not even allowed to see what it looks like. Talk less of trying to make a purchase [1]. Last Night, I had to lie that I am in the US so I would be allowed to by Remote by 37Signals on my kindle. Quite ridiculous and annoying. http://imgur.com/eS8agor
That's how it looks for everyone outside the US.
Works in UK, showing local pricing.

#106my friend working at Samsung, tells me internal joke, that there must be a very well paid guy at Google HQ whos sole responsibility is to figure out how to cripple Nexus devices (micro SD slot, battery) and distribution (limited rollout to only bunch of countries) in order to NOT alienate other Android manufacturers.
Re: Nexus 5
#1075in screen... Man. I'm quite content with my 4.7'' screen. Why are we slowly and steadily moving the sizes of our phone screens up? A year or two ago we were happily at 4.3
I believe the device itself is smaller, they've just thinned the bezel and made the screen use the entire front surface of the device.
I believe it's around 7mm x 4mm larger. Not really very significant, but still quite large.
Re: Nexus 5
#108Anyone know if the Nexus 5 will use a Micro SIM or Nano SIM? Straight Talk doesn't sell Nano SIM cards at the moment.
Re: Nexus 5
#109I would totally give up my AT&T S4 with a flashed Google Edition ROM but....there is no sdcard slot. What I am going to do without my extra 32gb of space?
I like expansion and that was one of the main reasons I gave up my iPhone 4 for a S4.

#110Earlier quoted context omitted.
The device was available for about 20 minutes before running out. Sounds identical to the Nexus 4 so far...
No. The 16GB black sold out temporarily. All models are currently available (72 minutes after launch), but with a "leaves warehouse by 11/8" instead of 11/5 ship date.
Just saw this, just tried and nothing available in Canada, not even on pre-order :(
