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

[Gekko]

STILL waiting for my UPS guy to come by today. WTF any other day he comes around noon. today of all days the mofo has to come at the end of day???

Does it have a user-replaceable battery? The GNex has that and I have a spare battery for long days. The pics online do not show a back cover . . . I would hate to give that up. But definitely considering getting the N5.

The battery is not removable in the Nexus 5.

Bootloader unlock: CHECK
Root Install: CHECK (thanks chainfire!)

Where did you find these instructions?

You're an avid user of what? Clearly not Android/Nexus devices if you don't know the answer to that question. C'mon now.
If a replaceable battery is something you don't want to give up then the Nexus 5 (or likely any Nexus newer than the GNex) isn't for you.

That sucks. I'm glad I live in an apartment with a front desk that accepts packages for us - never have to be there when the UPS guy shows up

Just because its not as easily swappable doesn't mean it can't be replaced. I'm actually curious how difficult it is to swap. If the back still comes off (which we know it does), then it really comes down to how hard they make it to remove. Just guessing here, but ites probably the same as the Gnex except it has the ribbon connected to the battery instead of pins. Can someone disprove this?

And to keep thread on topic...my 32gb black nexus arrives Wednesday.

Wait, what? He's talking about a spare battery for the GNex and you answer with a front desk that accepts packages?

You must have quoted the wrong message.

I wonder if my tracking info will ever get updated. It's been sitting at origin scan since 8:52 last night. It's still saying delivery by Wednesday though.

Mine is arriving in Florida on Tuesday (tomorrow). Black, 16GB. Now someone, please buy my N4 with car mount on eBay!

Congrats to those who've gotten theirs! OK, last post for me until I pick mine up later, I think. It's just tough to focus at work today. :-(
