REALLY want one of these but ive only had my S4 since March and cant justify upgrading it.
I could buy one for myself and give the S4 to the wife but she isn't using my old DesireHD that much.

Soooooo tempting tho...

I just ordered the White 32Gb which ships in 1-2 days.

I have loved using my Galaxy Nexus and can't wait for my new Nexus phone. :-)

Just logged in to check something on the order to find it says ships in 2-3 weeks instead of by the 8th of November when I hit the buy now button. Wtf? :(

I guess all of those that have ordered will be able to tell you one way or another if the camera is any good at least so you aren't going in blind if you decide it's worth it at some point. :yes:

I dropped my Nexus 4 a week ago - not on purpose I promise :)

I really don't want to splurge another phone just yet.. so hoping I can fix it with a $45 ebay screen kit. It's a great price for a brand new phone though

Are people actually destroying perfectly good phones to justify getting a new one?

Wouldn't even think of doing it. My Galaxy S2 is still running strong using the SlimBean rom. If I do upgrade to a Nexus 5, the GS2 will be handed to the missus

That was unexpected, on 2nd thoughts I don't think I could part with it, I'll probably keep it to use when I'm out chucking myself down hills on the MTB rather than smashing the new phone.

My Nexus 5 is due (according to FedEx tracking) on Wednesday.

My Galaxy Nexus is still going strong. I still get a full days charge out of it, its just that some of the newer app's push it too hard and also that Google is no longer releasing updates for it (not good for a security person to have a vulnerable phone).
