Official "I JUST ORDERED THE NEXUS 5!!!" Thread

[Rxpert83]

Darn. Placed mine less than 2 minutes after going live.

Was hoping to get it Monday, but that might be a stretch

What was the total price for a 16 gig after shipping and tax?

What was the total price for a 16 gig after shipping and tax?

My Nexus 4 was around $400 in NY after shipping and tax.

 

[jklemin]

I ordered the 32Gb earlier today.

16GB are available now, shipping in 3-4 weeks.

 

[Martin714]

[MartinS]

It's actually cheaper on the UK Carphone Warehouse site 16GB is

Finally got my shipping notice at 5am this morning (I ordered pretty shortly after it went live). Can't wait until the tracking number actually produces data at UPS. I'm guessing maybe Wed if all goes well (3-5 Day shipping) but maybe have to wait for end of week. Boy, I wish I had noticed the choice of shipping. :banghead:

 

[DrexelDragon]

Finally! I can stop whining now, I got my shipping email! it should get here tomorrow!

I'm still waiting for my shipping information. I ordered around 3:45 PM EST - waay too late. I was out of the office for the first half of the afternoon. I'm kind of thinking that I'll get it around the middle of next week.

BTW, as far as free space goes, there have been some problems with the Nexus 7 slowing down if you leave too little space free on it. I don't know whether or not this problem has been fixed but we have the 32GB so I don't expect any problems.

The 16gb black I ordered has shipped, but the 2 16gb whites are still pending.

 

[shelliewnj]

i ordered mine within minutes of it going live, and no shipping

That should have gotten corrected in 4.3 :thumbup:

 

[Shotlimesalt]

Those of us who got a shipping confirmation this morning (11/1) Do they still ship on Saturdays so we can hopefully see it Monday or Tuesday you think?

Very anxious for some LTE connectivity! and Kit-Kat karate like dancing action when I get it!

If I remember rightly it was a problem in the way Android 4.2 handled deleted data which in essence didn't leave the space as freely available. As Rxpert83 said 4.3 fixed it.

That's good to know.

I really should have went with the 32 GB Nexus 7 (actually I don't know if they offered that the first year). I don't even have my music on the Nexus 7 as there isn't enough space on it. I absolutely love the tablet though - I use it a lot for workouts.

Just checking out the specs on the Nexus 5 vs Nexus 4. The 1920x1200 is a lot nicer on the 5 - I didn't realize that it was so low on the Nexus 4. I looked up directions on hooking it up to an HD display for use as a PC and it can be done!

It wasn't available at launch, but when they released the Nexus 4 last year, they got rid of the 8GB variant, cut the price of the 16GB variant, and added a 32GB WiFi and 32GB mobile data variant.

I received my shipping email at 12:50 AM EST, tracking number still doesn't exist in UPS's system though..

As for a case, I definitely want to get one but am going to wait until I have the phone in hand to see what kind I might want. I'm stuck using my Verizon Galaxy Nexus until Dec 15 when my contract runs out so I'll only be using the Nexus 5 on wifi until then.

I also want to pick up a wireless charger (I started a thread about this) at some point to put on my nightstand.

If I recall correctly you ordered yours well after I ordered mine and mine hasn't shipped. Their shipping ordering/priority is mind boggling.

I ordered mine at 1:08. I live in stl.. Maybe location has something to do with the odd shipping times?

 

[mmoy]

Ouch!

Mine was $408.99 for the 32 GB model. We don't do taxes in NH.

Still waiting for shipping notice though.

 

[zenicanin]

Cool got my shipping confirmation too. Heck yea!

What was the total price for a 16 gig after shipping and tax?

For Missouri:

Nexus 5 (16GB, Black) $349.00
Shipping (3-5 business days): $9.99
Tax: $27.31
Total: $386.30

Not sure why they charge taxes. I thought they had to have a retail store in that state in order to charge the state tax. Oh well.

5 minutes after me. I wonder if the amount you purchased has anything to do with it. I'm in PA.

They are only required to charge state tax if they have a physical presence in the state. Of course this varies from state to state. Many online retailers are collecting tax anyway just because it is the right thing to do as we all know individuals aren't paying it themselves.
