I kept thinking, 'Does it occur to you that maybe it's hidden on the bottom like Nexus 4?' lol Hell, all it takes is an off-center flashlight to spot it.

But still, pretty good review and I enjoyed it. =0)

Just curious...when did you get a notification from google that it was being shipped and when did you get it?

I live 10 miles away from google HQ. I shouldn't have to wait 2 days!!

He more than likely picked it up at a store.

Could you check to see if it allows trusted bluetooth devices? I'm not sure if that would be in the security settings or in bluetooth, but that was one thing that almost made me get the Moto X.

I did place an order with Google but a local store had them in stock this morning sim free (in UK).

How did you get your Nexus 5 so quickly?

I'm going to start compiling a list in the main post of helpful reviews, write-ups, etc. in this thread. Anyone with a Nexus 5 is encouraged to post their thoughts!

Re: Using my new nexus5 right now

I just went to a Carphone Warehouse store here in London and checked out the Nexus 5. They were sold out but had a demo unit I could check out. Build quality is top notch. It feels great in your hand. It's also surprisingly thin and light. I was impressed.

I tried scrolling around as much as possible, and could only get a tiny, tiny bit of lag/choppiness to pop up when using Chrome. I surfed to ESPN, The Verge, and a few other sites to see how it handled media heavy sites, and it did fine.

I can't comment on the camera, battery life, etc., but from an initial impression standpoint, it's a great phone. I'm SUPER tempted now to jump from my iPhone 5 to the N5. Well done LG & Google.
