Nexus 5: Yes or No?

Can someone who has the Nexus 5 tell me how your experience with it has been? I ordered mine Saturday and it'll come in a couple weeks. I have a GS4 so I need to know primarily how battery life, call quality and display are. If it doesn't stack up to the S4 I'm gonna return or cancel it
 
I love it :D.

Prior phones were the galaxy nexus, S3, and Sprints version of the OneX. Hated touchwiz, so if you like it you may miss some feature from it.

Call quality seems fine, screen is beautiful, and battery life remains to be seen, but its fine enough to get me through the day.
 
Owning a G2X made sure that I will never ever buy another LG phone. I know that this a Nexus but even that is not enough. Hopefully the N6 will be made by someone else.

I realized that my words are just a shot in the dark and very typical of the standard forum user. But I can't do it even with a beat up GNex. Sometimes bitterness runs that deep. I have been buying every other Nexus but I have skipped that last two even that they are great phones.

You can delete my post if you feel that my opinion adds nothing to the discussion.
 
I just switched from Note 2. It's amazing how much bloatware is on a standard smart phone. I'm going on 4 days with mine and I love it. Battery is good. I haven't been below 30% and that was the first day while setting things up. I don't think I'll every go back to a phone that isn't unlocked. I love everything about it.
 
I got my Nexus 5 on wendsday, Put my S4 on Ebay, but I had problem with on the speed test with OOKLA got horrible score 1.5 mps at home with S4 got 11.25 mps at home, went to work and didn't have LTE had HSPA instead on the N5 same speed test 1.5mps, I alway had LTE at work with S4, I feel the display on the S4 is brighter and crisp the Nexus is like you have antiglare screen on, also I like having the led light showing if it charging or is charged, if you got a message, not the Nexus 5 you can get a app to make it do that, which I did, then I ask about blocking calls on the S4 yes, N5 no, but you can get an app, I guess if I had an older phone the N5 make sense, but I got the 32gb because no SD card the 400.00 is'nt worth I taken me S4 off E-Bay going to return N5,
 
I'm really happy with my Nexus 5, it's the first Android phone I've had in a while. Don't ask me why but my previous phone was a Nokia Lumia 800, I'm pretty sure I was drunk off my face when I purchased it.

It's been a fun day playing with it and setting everything up, the Google Voice search is amazing, more accurate and faster than any other phone I've seen.

Everyone seems to hate the new Hangouts for SMS but I honestly don't mind it since I use the desktop to message friends as well (I also don't know what I'm missing from previous versions)

The battery has been pretty good to me, I had 54% battery after 3 hours 20 minutes of constant use, just web browsing and playing with settings and a few apps, all while on WiFi. Another 3 hours of lighter use I was on about 30%.

The phone is also light and yet feels quite solid.
