Ordered unlocked 32GB red to use with MetroPCS.
Switching from LG Motion 4G. Technically coming from a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G, but only had it 3 weeks, and that's only 'cuz I dropped the Motion in the toilet.

Hello everyone!

Sold my iPhone 5s 32gig for a handsome credit from a electronics recycle machine. I purchased the Nexus 5 from LG. Must say I love this phone! So far this has lived up to my expectations in most ways except for a little concern about the rear camera quality, not a major issue for me but a slight concern. Everything else is working like a charm.

Had no concerns about moving away from the "walled" garden as most of my apps were already in the Google Play store, Apple really kind of messed me up with my music though converting everything to MP4.. Still getting over that. I am on the half and half about Google's picture backup. I tried to use Picasa on the web and that was hard to manage. I don't have the ability to use this because they don't have a version yet for Linux. Using dropbox for right now.. My goal is to use all Google products just to learn and experience other software solutions away from the garden.

PS: Chromcast is way cool too!

Try out MightyText when you get a chance. You can tell it to sync with a folder on your home computer.

Got my red 32GB unlocked Nexus yesterday. It was rooted within 5 minutes of opening the box.
Now to install DU and Franco kernel.

If you mean you haven't received the shipping info (it can sometimes say pending even after being shipped), contact them (the number on the email you received confirming the order) and see if they have any explanation. If there is a glitch in their system, they can probably find it and correct it.

This is me waiting for the Nexus 5 I ordered yesterday

miclane001 · Feb 18, 2014

Looks like the Play store is out of stock on all forms of the Nexus 5. Mine will be shipped in 2 to 3 weeks.

thisISjoel · Feb 18, 2014

I just got an email from Google this morning that my Nexus 5 has shipped!

xnate416 · Feb 18, 2014

Just ordered mine today!! Black 16gb from the play store. It says that it won't leave the warehouse for 2-3 weeks but I have seen some people say that it said that for theirs but it didnt take that long. Lets hope it doesn't take mine that long!! I don't think I can wait until March 7th

jamjr74 · Feb 19, 2014

Wow can't believe phone is still selling so well to be back ordered. Had mine for a month now and love it. You guys won't be disappointed! Enjoy

GuitarG20 · Feb 19, 2014

I got mine two days ago and it's fabulous so far

thisISjoel · Feb 19, 2014

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!! Just came home to a "sorry we missed you" card

Rang the courier and the package won't be in the depot before they close today meaning I can't even drive out to pick up my phone

have to wait until tomorrow.

9878 · Feb 19, 2014

You mean they didn't just throw the box on the porch, visible from the street like they did mine?

No. My front door is even behind a brick fence where it would not have been visible from the street

Not sure how I would have felt if they'd left the package at the door; equal parts happy to have my new phone but also concerned that they left $900 worth of phones out for however many hours until I got home (ordered two, one for me one for wifey).
