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

IMO- This original Nexus 5 is the still the best phone google ever had built for them. I know the camera is better on the new nexus 5x's, but performance and endurance, this thing can't be beat, unless you hit it with a hammer!

Just bought my 4th Nexus 5 and can't wait to get it and put the Pure Nexus custom rom on it. After all this time I still love this phone. Got it for $159 new. (32gb)

Still have my Nexus 5 , but now it is my Wife's phone. Had a GS6 that I broke so now I have a 7. Gotta say, compared to those the Nexus 5 is garbage. Dont care for plain Android and I'll probably never buy another one.

Comparing a Nexus 5 to an S7 isn't really fair, you're comparing old hardware to cutting edge, of course the N5 is going to suffer.

Personally I think the N5 was a fantastic phone, probably one of my favourite ever handsets. Occasionally when I'm on site I'll pop my sim in to my old N5, it still performs admirably with no lag, I could easily use it as my daily driver.

True but I'm not comparing the hardware at all. I don't like plain Android and I don't like the fact when I took it on a airplane with wifi, the Nexus wouldnt dont get recognised and my Samsung does. So I couldn't use the Nexus. The only thing I liked better about it is it got faster updates but that isn't enough for me.

I like the extras I get on touch wiz that I dont get on plane Android and that is all software, not hardware.
It's wasnt bad but I wasn't real impressed with the Nexus 5. Bad volume level, battery wasn't that good. Going to sell it when I get the GS 6 fixed(broken screen).
