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

Shotlimesalt said:
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! :D

Most places do still move items on Saturday.

Just in case you get back into rooting and all that, the Nexus is the best phone to do so.

Actually, I'm hopping to get away from that for a while. The great thing about a Nexus is that it's already free of all the bloatware, has regular updates and is supported long term. Sure there are other benefits of putting your own ROM on, but, at least for me, it isn't the most stable thing.

Not here.

I got my order in within a minute and a half of it going live

Only ended up with white because that was the first link I clicked

I think I've noticed a trend, those who have gotten shipping info ordered black while those who ordered white are still waiting. I ordered 2 whites and 1 black and the black one has shipping info while the whites are still pending. :confused:

The more I see those pictures of how much that camera lense sticks out, makes me want to get a case to protect that just in case I set it down to hard or wrong or something? I really don't want to but, maybe I should?

Thoughts on that?:confused:

I agree.

I ended up ordering one today just in case. I plan on having this phone for a long time and I decided I want it to hold up more than I want to show it off

I went with this one, liked the balance of white/black for my panda-style white n5!

Unfortunately with Amazon prime my case is going to get here way before my phone. :( I'm gonna jam my galaxy nexus in there :rofl:

Mine still shows "Leaves warehouse by Nov 5th"

Haven't seen a "pending" yet

Aggghhh... It looks nice but I can't stand bulky cases. I'm a minimal type of guy. Let me know how it feels. I was thinking of either getting the bumper on the play store or the flip cover on there as well.. but not to crazy about the LG logo on the back.

To give you an idea of what I prefer. I frequently used the Rearth ringke Slim case. Loved that thing. Sporting the bumper right meow!

P.S. I'm the most indecisive person there is when it comes to this sh!t lol

I'm with you on the minimal cases.

I had an elago slim fit on my s3. Ill probably end up getting something slimmer once more options come out

Is anyone else jumping on their email every time a notification comes in? LOL - it's as bad as yesterday refreshing the playstore page. HAHAHA

I feel you on that. I felt the same way about my Note 3, but it hasn't been a bother. I'm so careful with my phones. But I like the way the Google provided cases contrast with the Nexus 5. So I'm getting one anyway. Red and Yellow. The flip does me no good. I use my phone so much it would be like an extra unlock method trying to open it.

Just wait until the day yours is suppose to arrive. You'll be looking out the window every time a car/truck goes by, lol.

Yes and it is driving me nuts. I am a private consultant and my Google Play email is the same as my work email so it is getting VERY annoying. I don't know why I'm so anxious as I have a N4 that looks and acts new so it isn't like I need this phone. If I remember correctly, from another thread, you do so I can only imagine how heightened your anticipation is.
