Does the US version have this sticker on the back that buyers in Britain are talking about? Hard to remove?

Re: Nexus 5 First Impressions & Reviews

Upgraded from a Nexus 4 (due to water damage), first impressions are that the phone feels a lot snappier - not sure how much this is down to Android 4.4, the camera is vastly better, as is the screen & touch response, connectivity (3g speeds are better & 4g support on lots of bands), the speaker is also much better.

Haven't had much of a chance to test battery life, I got it about 4 hours ago and it was on 50% out of the box - I've been working it hard - backups, restoring, music, photos and games as well as general browsing and tinkering and it's still on 12% as I'm typing this.

I got a 16GB black from Carphone Warehouse (the last one they had) and I am very impressed, this is much better than my friends' Galaxy S4s & Note 3s - and ?200/300 cheaper too!

CNET has a review up already (seems a bit fast to me). They don't have battery results in it yet, but have given it 4/5 stars.

Because its not a really a review....it's a first look. This is how CNET does it and why I just go to their site for the videos. What they are saying...I just go blah blah blah. Although...give me more Lynn..

This will be my first nexus I had the 4 but sold it right after I bought it I needed lte.
I use nova luncher on all my android phones do people normally
Not use third party launchers on nexus or does it ruin the nexus experience

Good news. Didn't really want to splash some lacquer thinner on the puppy.

No, you move a icon, widget to the right side and it adds a screen. Some say that you can add as many as you like. When you delete all the objects on a screen it dissappear.

Yep, the only phone which uses a Nano-SIM is the iPhone5/5C/5S

Ah yes indeed, I didn't count it as it's not available in the UK.

Do yourself a favor. Order a 5 pack of the German ones. Such a great product. I ordered an eBay adapter, most don't even hold in place long enough to get it in the Sim tray. I use this adapter inside an htc one all the time. It took all of a week to get the adapter. They process orders within 24 hours apparently.

But seriously it's just not worth getting a cheap adapter stuck in the phone. Take a look at the write up I linked, it compares it to a cheap eBay adapter.

german ones? I have the noosy and it fits pretty well although none of them will "hold" it securely in place

Nokia is also switching to nano SIMs. The 1520 has one

I'm really excited for this phone and can't wait for mine to arrive tomorrow. I can tell this will be my favorite Nexus phone to date.
