Size. The footprint is just slightly too tall for my liking. The width and weight are perfect, though. I don't like the speaker grilles - they collect dirt and dust too easily. Buttons. They're OK, but not as tactile as the ones on the original N5. Small list really.

Re: Mine has just been delivered Just had mine delivered a day early, too. Great stuff. Here's some quick thoughts (hope OP doesn't mind a small hijack): 1. I got the black one - the material is soft to touch, but not in the same way the original N5 was. The N5 had a grippy kind of feel -...

Re: Mine has just been delivered How does the plastic material feel? Soft-touch, almost rubbery, like the original?

Black, in loving homage to my old Nexus 5. They better be using the same soft-touch material - the original was so nice to hold. That blue/green looks lovely too, but when I think N5, I think black.

Artem Russakovskii (Android Police) is saying that they will launch with version 3.0 of the camera app, which will include burst mode and full implementation of camera 2 api (finally). He also mentions 120/240 fps video in his G+ feed. I generally find the guy to be rock solid with his insider...

I'm seeing precisely the same issues you have described in this thread and have tried all of the same rectification actions, resulting in the same outcomes. I'm not sure if I had the problem before 5.1, but am wondering if something happened there. Tis a shame as, at times, I find the voice...

It's taken me a while to find a config I like with this screen...stayed pretty basic in the end.

It is a screenshot; the blurring is intentional so that I can more easily differentiate between the background and home screen icons. Posted via the Android Central App

I find the diagonal placement fits my thumb arc nicely and means I can mostly get away with one handed use. I love the default background from KitKat, but find it is a little too heavy on detail which causes some blending issues for me with the icons - hence the blurring.

Re: Photo Details Show Incorrect Time Interesting; I noticed a similar thing this morning while looking through some photos. I'll investigate further to see if I can nail the exact time discrepancy I'm seeing. Posted via the Android Central App

@ Ed Briggs: That doesn't mean they're 'in demand'. It just means that demand has been exceeding availability. Since we can't quantify how many N5s have been made available or in what relative proportions (wrt the colours) we can't make any worthwhile statement relating to the demand. What we...

I have just received a replacement N9. I chose to set it up as a new device and have found that Google Maps has two system apps (Navigation and Local) appearing in my app drawer alongside the standard GM app. I haven't seen these apps for some time (older devices, older Android) and just...

Great snippet of news there, if true. Thanks for the info, OP. Posted via the Android Central App
