I ordered 4 minutes after it went up, still no shipment.

Do it Googy.

Didn't you get an iPhone 5S?

 

[CronoShot]

Didn't you get an iPhone 5S?

Decided against it. Actually got an HTC One, but the camera had problems so I returned it. After that, I figured I would just wait for the Nexus 5. Way cheaper anyway.

Ah I see.

 

[Ephemeris]

Googy fucked with my emotions.

Maybe they will ship mines tomorrow.

If Amazon shows up anytime soon I'm dropping my play order.

 

[CreepingFear]

Hmmm, no way to get phone Friday. I need phone to deliver on Tuesday. It's the only day I have off next week.

Verizon folks, you can just buy the LG G2, its the same hardware as Nexus 5 with a larger battery, Verizon bloatware, ugly skinned LG OS AMD only $200 more.

 

[PFD]

Ordered four, plan to have them all sold for profit before the credit card bill is due. I'm a shmuck, trying to make a buck. Come at me bros.

Cool story bro

G2 has a better battery. Probably alot better. That's about all that's going for it.

^ Hope he ends up having to take a loss on them lol.

With a service like StraightTalk, how does it handle tethering or mobile hotspots on Nexus devices? I don't intend to use it regularly but sometimes if I'm away from wifi but have service it comes in handy.

Tethering is against Straight Talk's TOS, so you're at your own risk if you do.

Minor use might not get noticed, but heavy use most definitely will.

 

[tirminyl]

I got GN. Now considering nexus 5 or ps4...

Why not both?

I pulled the trigger on a 32gb black model despite having a PS4 and two games pre-ordered and a DS4 sitting on my desk, lol. Now I just need to decide on a case.

Verizon folks, you can just buy the LG G2, its the same hardware as Nexus 5 with a larger battery, Verizon bloatware, ugly skinned LG OS AMD only $200 more.

That sounded really convincing.

Yeah I was reading through the TOS and saw it there. Just wondering about any anecdotal experiences.

Never understood why if the phone hardware supports it, carriers can dictate tethering if you're not going over your data or in the case of unlimited* getting throttled over 2.5GB anyway.

 

[Chuck]

No microSD? :T

 

[GoldenEye 007]

No microSD? :T

lolno

What was the last Nexus device to have a SD slot? Was it the Nexus One? Pretty sure. Maybe the Galaxy Nexus.

 

[lobdale]

No microSD? :T

Ha ha ha ha hah ahh ahhhhhhhh ahhhhhhh.

 

[GECK]

32gb black sniped. Shipping nov 8 though

Can anyone recommend a Tmobile plan? Won't be using that many minutes just a shitload of data.

 

[Chuck]

:c

 

[hitsugi]

No microSD? :T

This continues to be a strangely popular question for new Nexus devices; given that there hasn't been an SD slot in a Nexus device in over 2 years now..

There is their prepaid $30 plan. 100 minutes with unlimited* data and texts.

* Throttled to 2G after 2.5 GB.

 

[criesofthepast]

I have never gone under 4gb left on my 8gb nexus 4. Everything is in the cloud.

[Chris R]

Still pending here.

Also hope I don't screw up my SIM cutting

 

[NaM]

That's not really an option where data speed isn't ideal.

Having spent a little more time with Nexus 5 camera… it might not be terrible. It might be good.

This is why Anandtech is the only tech review site you can trust.

God, what an ass.

 

[Seville]

Anyone know if this will work with Wind Mobile?

 

[mturco]

God, what an ass.

I don't think they're intentionally anti-Android or anything, but they definitely don't do their homework before they make blanket statements about things like camera quality and smoothness. They really just don't know what they're talking about and it's night and day when you read a 10 page Anandtech review.

 

[Third Strike]

Anyone know if this will work with Wind Mobile?

Yes indeed.

 

[Seville]

Cool, thanks for the confirmation!

 

[Wag]

Look at the case I bought.

Well, he finally realized that he had the HDR setting on. Josh is a kinda ditzy, but <3 him.

Yeah he's alright. Just uninformed.

I like how he was talking about the stinger on his bumble bee costume, and how it shows his masculine side.

 

[FallingEdge]

Cmon phone. Plz ship tomorrow. I need it.

I got to the pocket demonstration then had to close it. That was painful. But the stinger bit was slightly amusing

 

[hitsugi]

Unfortunately only a handful of us will get it in time for the weekend although my ship date is by November 5th.. Gonna be a long week

Yea, I have Nov 5th ship date too. I am no hurry though...

 

[Wag]

Weekend? Mine has a ship date of the 8th. Be lucky if it ships by then though. Hopefully I'll have it in a couple of weeks.

 

[ScRYeD]

Just ordered one myself, says ships on the 8th so about 2 weeks till I get mine. Had one hell of a time using the play stores order form. Since i had to update some of my details, it is just not made for my cracked to hell smart phone.

 

[tylerf]

Aww yeah just got my shipping confirmation email. My order time was 11:03:09 PDT for anyone interested.

 

[RGM79]

Anyone on west cost of Canada get shipping confirmation? I'm in Vancouver and I ordered at 11:07AM, nothing so far.

 

[Dinosur]

Just got the shipping confirmation too. Yippie.

 

[AbsurdG3nius]

Yep - mine, too.

Order date: Oct 31, 2013 11:07:32 AM PDT

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Received shipping confirmation, will have it on monday!

 

[mrpoopy]

DId you guys get standard or 2 day shipping? I ordered at 11:01 with standard shipping but no tracking yet

 

[Chris R]

Shipped!

Of course I shipped it to my work instead of my house so I know I'd get it the day it arrives, so Monday it is, unless UPS's elves work overtime to get my precious from Cali to KY to AK.

 

[hitsugi]

I ordered at 11:01 and paid for 2 day shipping.. Still nothing. I doubt the shipping method has to do with when it goes out. Just luck of the draw it seems.....

Although I have a feeling order quantity also has to do with it

 

[L-gon]

Mine shipped as well (16GB, Black).

Order placed a hair before 2:03est with 2-day shipping.

 

[Fou-Lu]

Out of stock. Guess I'm not getting one yet.
