    'I've Ordered a Nexus 5' Thread! (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Ordered a 32gb Black, today 1/2. Website labeled "ships in 1-2 business days." Order now says ships 1/7......4 business days later. lol We'll see how long it's taking to get to Texas.

    Returning it and what should i get to replace the Nexus.

    What's the return policy on the N5 from Google? Full refund? Re-stocking fee? I am hesitant to try one without an option to move to something else.

    Does the nexus 5 really have a lot of issues?

    I haven't purchased yet because I like to see real world usage instead of a blog's 5 minute review because they got it up "first". To disregard half of the threads in the N5 sub-forums which in fact are problematic oriented is ignorant. There are issues with the phone. A lot of them it appears...

    Android KitKat? Wish list!

    For the love of God: 1. Clear all recent apps/Kill all recent apps 2. Movable search bar, if I can't remove from homescreen 3. Reboot menu for Recovery/Bootloader with "power off" longpress 4.

    A few days in, how does everyone like their X?

    I feel like I am being forced to choose between excellent form factor/screen size, maybe the best I've ever held in the Moto X, and excellent battery life in the MAXX. maybe the best in a smartphone ever. I'm glad there are some early adopters and posters here. I will be watching over the next...

    Ugh. +1. If the X came with a 2600-2800mah battery, I would have purchased already. My Gnex got "all day" battery life the first 12 months too. :-\

    Get $70-90 off your purchase even if you've already bought the phone.

    Did they care what kind of shape it was in as long as it turned on? See quite a few cheapies on ebay that have a scratch or two on the screen.

    I didn't read the end of this post when I saw this thread. So when you had the manager go through that process, the Admiral came up as an option, and they gave you the card after you had already purchased? I want to buy Admiral (way cheaper than D3 or X2) Buy MAXX online ($50 cheaper at full...

    Ahh thank you for clearing that up! This is definitely a YMMV situation. I just went by the Official Retail store by my office on my lunch break. The Sales Rep told me that it must be a Motorola phone activated on the account, and that it must have the offer on your account when they pull it...
