Would like to try this phone out to see what all the hype is about. Thanks!

Re: Fives days, five free phones: Win with Android Central, Poweramp and Negri Electronics! I would love the Nexus 5.

Relaxing by the pool. Nexus 4 Stock Pano with Google+ Enhance

I call this one "Shirts and Skins". Taken with my LG Nexus 4 and enhanced using Google+.

Yes, it works just fine.

Llama and NFC Task Launcher can both handle this. I'm sure there are other apps out there but I have tried both of these and they work pretty well. I currently use the NFC Task Launcher which you can do a Geo-Fence around certain locations to handle quite a few different tasks.

I use "Do Not Disturb" which can silence everything except people in your contact list. I'm not sure how it handles IM's though.

I'm not sure about copying the install files but if you download the apps from the Google Play Store, it keeps a record of this. If you log in to your new device and head to the Play Store you will see a list of all the apps that have been installed and can quickly install those apps to the new...

I've seen an issue where the battery has actually pulled out a little. I don't know if ifixtit.com has created a post on the new Nexus but on the older model you could pull off the back cover and plug the battery in again. That seemed to solve the issues I've seen.

I have the original Nexus but should still be the same idea. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds. You should see the Google logo appear. Let me know if this doesn't work.

Your easiest method is to sync all your contacts with Gmail. You can set up your S4 to sync your contacts back to Gmail. Once you get that done you can easily get your contacts on any Android phone.
