Bruce123 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Let's hope they manufacture enough of them to satisfy (the initial) demand this time. I agree that the white looks good. A couple of things that concern me, it has LCD rather than AMOLED, how visible is this in sunlight? And does it have a missed call/battery charged indicator? (cannot use the main screen as the LCD back-light would drain the battery) How good is the speaker output (for music etc.) as I can't see a sound grill on the back? I am still disappointed that the Motorola Moto X won't be released in the UK, apparently they have something better in mind for the UK, but when...

On the Nexus 4 the notification light is just below the screen, in the centre. Hardly noticeable untill it flashes so guessing the N5 will have the same.
Arthur Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Halloween? Bonfire night? http://i.imgur.com/hCvtPoI.jpg If the following is real, Carphone Warehouse will have around 3,000 Nexus 5's in stock. Hopefully the Google Play Store will have more than this. Inventory screen implies Carphone Warehouse is sitting on at least 3000 Nexus 5s in preparation for launch « Android Police One of the UK's largest and most unfortunately named phone sellers, Carphone Warehouse, is apparently fully stocked with the still unannounced Nexus 5. The leaked screen shows 1500 units of the white Nexus 5 in stock, but there are allegedly 1500 black units as well. http://i.imgur.com/b5ffW95.jpg 1
Arthur Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 The latest rumour is that the Nexus 5 should be released sometime between 3.00 p.m - 6.00 p.m. (GMT) today. https://plus.google.com/u/0/+ArtemRussakovskii/posts/ESmXSRmmyNi www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1pl6gi/nexus_5_announcement_tipped_to_arrive_at_8_am_pst/ 1

Arthur Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) £599!!!!! I think I'll wait a few more hours and get one from Google Play for several hundred pounds less instead. According to the Nexus 5 thread on the OcUK forums, the launch time is 6 p.m. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=25216952&postcount=1054 Edited October 31, 2013 by Arthur

Bruce123 Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Hopefully they're just trying it on. I can't see it being any where near that when it gets officially announced in a few hours.... I notice the LG2 has speaker grills on the bottom, like the iPhone 5, so I'm expecting good sound output on the Nexus 5. I tried out the LG2 and I really like it. It has two LED indicators on the front. It's a shame the buttons are on the side on the Nexus 5. I like the buttons on the back, a rare bit of innovation not seen these days. Thanks Bruce.

Rawns Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 The white Nexus 5 looks nice, not sure about the black front on it though.
Arthur Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Any news on the new Nexus 10 yet? Nothing on the official Google blog. The white Nexus 5 looks nice, not sure about the black front on it though. I reckon it looks better with a black front since the camera and mic would stand out more if it was white.
Theblacksheep Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Glad someone else's says shipping from 5/11 too. Quick and simple, the opposite experience to the N4.
Arthur Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Quick and simple, the opposite experience to the N4. Yeah. That was a complete shambles! I think there must be a lot of people try to order N5's now. http://i.imgur.com/pKSWxpX.png
edutech4schools Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 been trying to call Google as the confirmation screen had wrong address for the invoice but correct address for the delivery but just getting engaged tone.
Arthur Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) been trying to call Google as the confirmation screen had wrong address for the invoice but correct address for the delivery but just getting engaged tone. You could cancel your order online (check the confirmation e-mail for the link), amend the invoice address on wallet.google.com and then place the order again. Better be quick though!

edutech4schools Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 @Arthur thanks. Done that but delivery had moved back by a week. At least I will have one.
Arthur Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Done that but delivery had moved back by a week. At least I will have one. Excellent news! I imagine phoning Google at this time in the evening would be an absolute nightmare.
