I liked you post. I was looking for a phone for months and read all that I could. I didn't want to make a hasty decision. When I was deciding the G2 was still north of $600 and the N5 was $350. I loved the G2 and today it is a steal at just a little over $400. If a person doesnt give the G2 a...

I have the best experience stock. I do turn off services I don't use. I find kit kat 4.4.2 actually does best for me. The only thing I do is use a third party SMS app called 8sms. I don't care for HangOuts. I rarely have "Google Now' turned on ..... I really don't use it and just use the google...

Good facts. I've been pleased with the battery life on my N5. I use mine very often through the day ...surfing ...etc. Never had an issue not making it through a normal day and still have approx 30%. I don't understand why many people complain about battery life on this device. As the facts bear...

Here is a post that I posted on Google+. The device I'm referring to is the merits of the N5. Note 3 is nice too. I'm a die-hard Nexus 5 fan but really appreciate the Note 3. The discussion was about the S5 and HTC M8 and what was good about them. See below: "Here's another perspective. There...

Re: What was your previous phone? Do you like the N5 more or less? Why? The S3 was a great device. The S3 is still a great device. Sent from a Nexus 5

i can buy any available phone. If I were to buy a phone today ...... it would be another Nexus 5. This Nexus was my first. I have over the past few months came to understand why the Nexus receives such glowing reviews. It's like John Deere ...... "nothing runs like a Nexus"! Sent from a Nexus 5

Moto G is an awesome phone! I want one!

Re: What was your previous phone? Do you like the N5 more or less? Why? But the fact is ...... most don't know that much about the Nexus phone. I've been asked what kind of phone I have as they flash their HTC or Samsung flagship ..... I tell them It's a Nexus 5 and they look at me like a "deer...

I agree. If I had to do it all over again .... I'd buy another. Been my favorite phone too date. For $350.00 it's amazing ....... It's no doubt "flagship" at a proper price. Pure android ..... first to update ........ a phone for the real android enthusiast. I prefer the Nexus 5 over any phone...

I too had the Samsung S3. After setting up the Nexus 5 I get great battery life. I don't understand all the conversation about the N5 battery life. Sure if you got everything running ...notifications, Google now, GPS ..etc. etc. ...... battery life will suffer. I use the "battery saving" mode in...

I agree. 8SMS is the best I've found. It's simple and just works. Designed for Kit Kat. What I like about it is the instant reply. It just works seamlessly. Good app. I found to be the best for me "hands down"!!

Re: best case for nexus 5? I also have the Tech 21 case. It has a slim profile and been the best case I've ever had on any phone. It fit's so well that it looks like it's part of the phone. The case is awesome. I highly recommend it. A little pricey though! Check out the link and read about the...

I've not any issues. As I've become more familiar with the Nexus 5 ...... the more I realize what all the "hype" about this phone is about. My opinion is ..... the Nexus 5 isn't the best phone at any one aspect (except updates) but it is the only phone I've experienced where the "sum is greater...

Re: What was your previous phone? Do you like the N5 more or less? Why? I agree! The N5 allows one to enjoy cutting edge features at a mid range price. After reading extensively about different phones I became curious about the Nexus 5. I took the plunge. After some time I now understand why...
