Support NeoGAF

[abracadaver]

Any reviews yet ?

 

[northead]

Italy here. Mine is still pending but local sources claim that Google is starting to ship here too with devices coming on Monday.
I'm getting overly excited.

 

[this_guy]

I got a Gazelle quote for my N4 about 2 weeks ago for like $143, which is do on 11/11. Enough time for me to send it back.

I wager the N5 was going to be release at the end of October.

Check out buybackworld.com too. I've been getting better quotes from them lately over Gazelle. I've used both sites before and haven't had any issues.

So I ordered a white 32gb... says it leaves warehouse 11/22. Is this accurate? I don't wanna wait 3 weeks for a phone.

That's probably about right. It does say estimated to ship 2-3 weeks (or later) prior to adding the phone to your cart.

Maybe. Depends on stock. They were pretty up front about it this time.

 

[Hazaro]

Oh god I need to setup my phone number and transfers and ahhhhh

 

[HungOverOnATues]

Ooof, my wallet. Galaxy Nexus has been treating me fine, but I'm a weak man. Ordered a 32GB black which according to the order status says it will ship in 3 to 4 weeks.

Any gaffers selling their at&t n4, I'll give you $120 for it.

Hell to the no but man, that's a great deal for the buyer. My GF just paid $300 for a new 8GB N4 a month ago (after Google sold out of stock).

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

EDIT: nvm. I'll see if I can find one.

If I had the money to buy the N5, I would sell you mine.

 

[Chris R]

Monday seems so far away

 

[CreepingFear]

This is us waiting for ours to ship.

 

[HowardRoark]

Mine shipped, but I rushed through too fast in the ordering process. Ground shipping

At least I have something to look forward to next Wednesday.

Sample Nexus 5 1080p video recording.

Things of note:

- Sound is really crisp for using the built in mic
- Colours aren't bland or washed out
- Picture quality stayed pretty good when using the digital zoom, and the OIS kept it from being a shaky mess.

Now ship my damn phone Google Canada....

Again what we see here is a huge step above what the N4's camera was putting out. I can't wait to get this in my hands.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

the 16 giggers sold out so fast, like 30 minutes. I literally tried to order at 2:37 EST and all 16 gigs were out of stock.

Anyone heard when they will refresh/be back in stock? I really dont need 32gig.

They're taking orders for 16gb versions again: ships in 3-4 weeks, though.

That... Looks like ass. It might be good for a phone but it is still shit.

You must've watched in 360p.

 

[Sky Chief]

So what's so good about the Nexus line when support from Google for the devices is only two years? I for some reason thought the Nexus line gets special benefits, but the only thing good that it seems to get is software updates quicker for a set period of time.

The price is so good it is affordable to upgrade every year. That is what I am doing from now on.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Ah, that's better. Now, let me go on to talk about how shit YouTube is.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

That... Looks like ass. It might be good for a phone but it is still shit.

That looks like ass? The fuck? Did it jitter when she took a photo for anyone else? That's sort of stupid if it fucks up the video, sort of defeats the purpose of being able to take a picture while recording if it does that.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Yep, this will be my third phone in 20 months. (All Nexus phones as well)

No way am I going back to 18/24mth upgrade cycles.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Ah, that's better. Now, let me go on to talk about how shit YouTube is.

Yeah, I really hate that about YouTube. Trust me; it happens. I forgive you.

Spoiler

For now.

I love unboxing videos. Here's TechnoBuffalo's if anyone wants to see it:

[UrgentPS]

Got it this afternoon. Still can't believe it; ordered it yesterday around 8pm. Coming from a HTC Desire X, the Nexus 5 feels soooo good. Really loving it!

WTF? Where is the signature iPhone aspect ratio (recording on a phone in portrait mode)?

On a serious note, there seems to be some sort of stabilization going, make the video look weird. This is also causing some focusing problems? These are very subtle.

 

[Blimblim]

Mine shipped today too, but it's planned for a tuesday delivery (paris france). Go figure.

Probably has to do with the OIS drivers not working optimally, hopefully not a hardware issue.

 

[chaosblade]

Mine shipped early this morning. Went with ground and it hasn't updated yet.

Think I'm going to go with the Spigen neohybrid case, just deciding between silver or black. Looks like their tempered glass screen protectors are pretty good too? I don't like screen protectors because they feel like crap, but I've never tried one like those.

Must be some French holiday, it's All Saints day today. Maybe they have the day off.

Heyyyy let me meet you in Santa Monica and buy that phone off you. I'll pay you a little extra and give you mine when it comes.

 

[Moff]

got it a few hours ago

exactly what I expected, couldnt imagine a better phone for me

I bought a Spigen glass screen protector also. I have a different brand glass screen protector on my Galaxy S3, and the feel of glass versus plastic makes the cost worth it to me. I actually broke my first glass screen protector on my S3 because I dropped it onto the corner of my printer from about 4 feet. It cracked the glass protector pretty bad, but the screen was untouched. Now I'm not sure what would have happened to the screen if I had just a regular screen protector on it, but I'm glad I didn't have to find out.

 

[tino]

My order still say "Pending", should I be panic?

 

[solarus]

:O impressions please! Do you notice the lower memory usage in 4.4 and how much snappier does it feel than 4.3? Any new tweaks/features you've noticed that you really like?

 

[Tenacious-V]

No, just be sad... like me.

If you live in Canada, all are still pending and not a single phone has shipped yet.

 

[Symphonia]

So this applies mainly to UK-GAF but I suppose it could extent to America/Europe, depending on price. I'm selling my perfect-condition iPhone 5 (white, 16GB) to cover the cost of a 32GB Nexus 5. I'm selling it for £275 or nearest offer. Again, it's in perfect condition - no scratches, bumps or anything - and it comes with a protective case/wallet. Inbox me if you're interested.

 

[beanman25]

Estimated delivery Tuesday for standard shipping. I'm good with this!

Can't wait!

 

[threetri333]

Mine gets here on Thursday, even though I ordered it 11:01am PST :/

 

[Moff]

I am not too much of a phone expert sadly, I upgraded from SGS2 so its quite a leap. but honestly I dont see that much of a difference yet to my GF's nexus 4. I actually prefer the look of the N4, especially the back. I'll definitely try the camera bit tomorrow (its already night where I live)

 

[Burt]

Need moar battery life impressions. Looking to upgrade my busted Galaxy Nexus, but I can't handle another phone that has me worried if its going to even last through the day.

 

[Groof]

Yeah, I checked there earlier, and it looks like you'd save about 500 SEK (4000 SEK for 16 GB and 4500 SEK for 32 GB, instead of 4500 SEK for 16 GB). Still pretty damn expensive compared to what this phone "should" cost, but it's better than nothing. I also really want the white version, so yeah.

I get ya mate, that's what we get from the svenska överpriser. The N4 was around the same price when it first got released here as well, so they're in line. At this point it seems like Bazula will be our best bet, unless someone else tries to compete hard. Seems like we will only get one version officially though, same as with the new N7.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

Shipped!
Yeaaah!

 

[CreepingFear]

Anyone that ordered 19 minutes or more after it came out have theirs ship yet? Mine was at 1:19.

 

[KanyeEast]

Quick question for the guys who own it: Can you use earphones with mic that work on iphones? Do the volume buttons work too?

The reason i asked this was because i owned a galaxy s3 for 2 months and went back to iphone for this reason.

I thought I read everything but just learned the battery is internal.

 

[Tenacious-V]

Yes, a battery needs to be inside it to work as a mobile device!

 

[apieceofstrange]

I ordered 11:21 PST and got my shipping notification last night at 9:52PM. A friend ordered literally a minute after me and he still hasn't received his e-mail. We both ordered Black/32. I went with the 2 day shipping option (since it was only a few bucks more) and he didn't. Not sure if that's what made the difference.
