4.95" 1920x1080 display (445 ppi), it reads. Does those specs make this phone the one with highest DPI ever? It is certainly above retina display, right?

It's insane that this phone has a better screen than a great deal of laptops for sale these days. The laptop manufacturers need to get with the program :-/

I 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.

T-Mobile has non-contract plans. http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans Scroll alllll the way down to the bottom, look for the $30/month plans. They include 5 GB of data per month at 4G speeds, after that you're throttled. I've never come anywhere near to hitting that limit, so I don't know what the throttle is. You can order a SIM card online, or pick one up in a store. http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/p…

I am currently on this plan (on a Nexus 4), and it works quite well for me. There's also a 100 minutes talk time limit on the plan, with 10C per minute for extra talk time.

So i placed an order for a 32GB version and then a 16gb became available. Now im unable to cancel the 32GB order and I get this error message: "There Was a Problem We are unable to cancel your order at this time.

You bought it, why do you expect to be able to unbuy it?

Ordered one about an hour ago (from France).

Originally, the message after payment was: "Order not completed It is taking a little longer than normal to process your order. We will let you know via email when your order is complete. This can take up to 15 minutes."

Now, it just displays "PENDING" in my orders...

Fingers crossed!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Whats the preferred way to get google voice working on android ?

You can install it from Play. It's straightforward. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...

It's not so straightforward if Google thinks you are not in the US.

Same. I emailed support. I'm not worried cause it's not shipping for a week.
