Nexus products are stock android. OEMs add their own twist to the android os. It would be like if apple allowed OEMs to take the iOS and put it on their own devices, they would put their own features on the iOS, but if you wanted the pure iOS experience you would purchase the iPhone. I disagree that all nexus products have been "groundbreaking" up until now they have been mediocre at best and the whole point to my post was to congratulate Google for taking their nexus line and upping the overall specifications to make the products flag-ship status. Now you can have the stock android experience on a great hardware device without having to root or flash customs Roms. I own the nexus 7 tablet and it blows me away, an incredible device. The original nexus 7 was respectable, but nothing even close in comparison to the 2013 device. Just the display alone is a perfect example to my point. And for the advertising point you brought up, I'm almost in shock after reading your statement on how you wouldn't have known about the nexus 5 without having to search through blogs... From where I stand, it has been global, everyone knew about the nexus 5, it was everywhere, I walked into bestbuy and the stand was up before the phone. In fact all nexus products have been pushed hard by Google. Ive seen the commercial for the nexus 7 thousands of times, on every single commercial break while watching an NFL game, which has probably the largest audience. Almost every site I go on advertises the nexus 5 and nexus 7, I see the links everywhere. I'm not sure why I have seen these things and you haven't but maybe its a regional thing, I don't know.

I've seen the Nexus 7 commercials too, though not on sports programs. I don't think I've seen a TV ad for the phones but I've seen Chromebook commercials too. On web pages I see a lot of ads for the N5 and other phones because Google knows I've done lots of searches for the n5 and other phones. They show you the ads for stuff you've searched before and related products. That's part of what data mining does. It's like in that movie, Minority Report. So it's not geographical, it's all based on your searches and spending habits. If you search a phone online and then buy it online, they'll show a ton more phone and retailer ads on every web page you look at.

I have an iPhone 5s and a Moto X, and I ordered the Nexus 5. I paid $540 outright for my iPhone at the AT&T store via the Next program (Added a line, "financed" the phone, canceled the line immediately). I paid $410 for the 32gb Nexus 5 after the mandatory shipping charges. That's not a lot of decision motivated by price.

How did you get a 5s for $540 ?

The iPhone 5s isn't bad quality it's just too simple for my tastes with iOS 7...yellow bus simple.

And before anyone says iTunes sucks, I happen to love it on my Mac.

iTunes on a laptop is great. Having to sync iTunes on your device every day, all day was a hassle.

Re: Nexus 5 is better then Iphone

Paragraph's would go a long way in making this readable.

The Nexus 5 is not an objectively better phone than the iPhone 5s. Yes, it has points that are better, but it also has points that are inferior. I'm going to consider the OS a wash because both are great OS's and it really comes down to personal preference. Nexus 5 has a bigger screen, but from the early reviews its not the greatest quality screen. Early reports are that the camera, while better than Nexus 4, isn't anything to write home about.

Both phones are great, neither is "better" than the other.

The reviews I have seen all love the display. Some of them are saying it is the best display on any phone released so far. High PPI and great color reproduction. If there are downsides to the Nexus 5, the display is not one of them.

Since I'm nearing the end of my two-year contract, but not eligible for an upgrade, I added a line to my account, and chose to do AT&T's Next program. That's where you pay $27/mo for 20 months for the device. I "financed" the phone, and immediately paid it off, as opposed to paying for it right on the spot. That saved me $110 off the retail price.

The thing with the Nexus 5 is that it seems like it surpasses the iPhone 5s in almost every technical field. Higher resolution, more battery capacity, more RAM, bigger screen, NFC. Here's a a head to head comparison of the differences: Google Nexus 5 vs Apple iPhone 5s 32GB - we'll have to wait and see how they handle in processing capabilities under performance tests, but with more cores and a faster CPU, i'd expect the Nexus 5 to do well again (hard to tell purely based on specs due to difference in architectures though). So that means the iPhone 5s is what, lighter, thinner, has a great operating system, and a ton of marketing hype? With Android being such a strong OS these days, i'm not sure that's enough any more.

The only reason I have an iPhone 5s, really, is because I already have a Note 3 and I do appreciate Apple's FaceTime for vchatting with the rest of the clan. Outside of that you have to really be an Apple/iPhone fan to pick the iPhone 5s over the current Android offerings. With the Nexus 5 being so reasonably priced it will be quite the popular choice.

Mrs. Mumbles already said it for me. Because I spend so much time on phone/cellular carrier forums and blogs, most of the web advertising that I see is for phones and carriers. If I spent all of my time searching for recipes and crochet ideas, I would never know about the Nexus 5. Also, I tune out most of the actual ad content, so I don't know if the Nexus 5 has shown up in Internet ads.

Nexus 7 ads wouldn't clue me in to the Nexus 5's existence. Even so, I've never seen a Nexus 7 commercial. I only watch a small amount of TV at work and none at home, so this may be why.
