the red dot (ear speaker) stands out.

And it's back in stock!! Now I just have to see if I can pry myself away from this iPhone to switch back to Android...

That's the whole point, to stand out. You're just another average Joe in the crowd with a black phone. I don't understand what "cleaner" means btw.

Its great if you don't rock a case, but I always have a case and they are usually black. I don't need to stand out that just makes people want to steal your stuff.

When you get flashy and stand out your just asking for attention.

I bought the Black Nexus 5, because the black never stands out. That's why I went with the color black. And it looks much more classy and smooth. Other color options are too bright and stands out too much. I guess it really depends on personal preference.

Like you said, personal preference. I've had nothing but black/dark phones since the beginning, and just wanted something different. Besides, I have different colored cases (like black, yellow, green, blue and others) when I want a different look, or to match my attire.

"Classy" and "smooth" is a matter of opinion. A lot of people think my red N5 looks great.

Yup you are totally right, it's everyone's opinion and I respect those opinions. I'm not saying red Nexus 5 is ugly tho, it just little to bright for me

Long term iPhone Drone. I took a walk with the robot about three years ago and he thouroughly trashed my contacts, my calander and most everything else, so I went kayaking back to Uncle Jobs. At some point since, I developed a taste for Google apps and even got a chromebook. I work in Microsoft land, so it's getting pretty crazy being so spread out. Also, I think that MS and Apple are both in tailspins since the founders moved on.

As a early-adopter of the e-ink Kindle from Amazon I was excited about their new phone, util a little research put out that fire. Funny thing happend on the way to dissapointment, I ran across the specs and reviews for the N5!

I ordered a Red 16GB yesterday and the response said it would leave on the 25th, and probably arrive a couple of days after that. (Order fulfilment is something Google could learn from Amazon.)

In response to the recent crimson tide of this thread, here are just a few reasons I wanted red:

1. Perspicuity - Almost every piece of equpment I have is black. The interior of my car is black. My bedside table is black. My iPhone is black and sometimes I have to call it to find out it it is sitting on the (black) desk next to me.
2. Affinity - My car is red. My front door is red. Santa Clause's PJ's are red. You could even say red runs in my veins.
3. Historic Significance of Red Phones - Bat phone in commissioner Gordon's office; emergency phone in the Oval Office (according to all the movies I've seen.)
4. this.
5. RedPhone - Open Whisper Systems WiFi app for making secure encrypted calls so the gubment can't spy on me when I'm talking to my fellow militia members.
6. Red

The only reason I was thinking moto g was the price. 210 for 4g unlocked. You really think the nexus 5 is that much better? Thanks!

Not even close. Two different categories of device. The G is probably better than any device in its' price range, but it can't touch the N5.

 

[rossfuz]

hi i have a question. if i ordered a nexus 5 a week ago, how long should it take to get here?

 

[RizaHawkeye]

It should have been delivered by now, but you should get it within a few days. I ordered mine and paid for the standard 5 day shipping, and I got it the next day.

 

[Eli_Finn]

Does anyone know where to buy a slightly cracked N5? I want to use it as a second device but don't want to pay for a new one... Thanks!

You could try Swappa, but it's not guaranteed you'd get what you want. EBay also.

Best bet is eBay. A little cheaper there. Probably more of them as well.

You should go kayaking back to Uncle Jobs while you still have the chance

I ordered a red 16GB from Google on July 17 just before noon and it was shipped the same day. It was listed on the UPS truck the next day and scheduled to arrive. It didn't. Since it was a Friday I expected it Monday. It again was listed to arrive, but strangely it was not listed as being in the truck. Again it was a no show so Tuesday I called UPS and they agreed it seemed to be missing and started an "investigation". I called Google next. They canceled my payment and I ordered another one that evening. They sent it out the following night and it got to my house at 1:30PM. The Google people were fantastic. If UPS ever finds the first one I can ship it back to Google free. I had never ordered anything but apps from Google Play. I got my Nexus 7 in Aug. 2012 from Staples. I will be much more likely to order from the Play Store when the Nexus 6 and 8 come out. T-Mobile is switching to 4G LTE and the N5 is to replace one of our phones that is too obsolete to get 4G LTE. The N6 will replace the other. So far I'm loving the N5!
