Google Nexus 5 now available in Red - Who's getting one?

[Zendroid1]

Post pics as soon as you guys get them. I'm interested in two things:

Does the red look like the Google pictures?
Is the back feel similar to the black N5 or white N5?

Used next day delivery and it arrived at my door this morning.
To my eyes, it's brighter than i though ,actually a little bit close to orangish red

It's a 401k build.

What is the texture like? Same soft feel as the black, or closer to the slick feel of the white?

 

[cc7211]

Not sure about that because this is my first nexus 5, but i will say it has soft feel.

In less than 15 hours it made it here. Wow Google is good

I have had the black nexus 5 before this and i can confirm the back is like the white nexus 5. It is not like the black soft touch back it is more like the white nexus 5 back.

The guy in this video says the opposite. I'm torn. The feel is kind if a deciding factor for me.

I actually did more research and i was wrong, i think. taking a better look at the white nexus 5 the red one has the black back and the black sides not the way the white nexus 5 is.

I want to get it so bad. But I have a perfectly good Moto X I love. Can't justify two phones.

"Another burning (as in "well, what is it?!?!" and not "oh, my eyes!") question was whether the back case would be the matte plastic like the white Nexus 5, or the more stylish soft-touch black. It's the former. No soft-touch to be found here."

Just ordered a red one for the wife. Seeing as how the phone is red and Valentines day is coming up, would it be unromantic of me to pass this off as a V-day gift or am i stuck still having to shop for something else?

Now you mention it i think the back is the matte plastic and the sides are also matter. The sides are not shiny like the white nexus 5 they are matte.

I'd be totally happy with that Vday gift - useful AND red.

You don't have to be rich, just skilled in trading or selling your devices to get what you want.

And the 16GB are sold out. Apparently People like the red ones.

It doesn't surprise me. The red ones are sweet looking.

If people are still wondering about the color MKBHD gave the best color description in my opinion.
