Got mine! Woohoo.. It's a nice step up from the GNex and not much bigger in the pocket..

Screen is razor sharp and it's super quick at everything.. :-)

Excellent, just what I wanted to hear in a first impression.

The soft rubbery back is luscious.. I really don't want to put a case on this but I know I should. The buttons are precise and feel well machined. It feels great to hold.

The app pages and menu's snap into place and it feels like the app isn't even breaking into a sweat..

The new launcher is.. Well.. A google launcher.. I've disabled google now and installed Nova launcher already.. It's just "too" google for me..

There we're people on Reddit who'd broken/cracked the screen on day one because they dropped it without a case

Its surprising that they didn't have a few 1000 units in Australia for distribution.

Probably costs too much I guess, but it would be a good idea

Mines arrived in Alexandria

Now get in the truck FedEx man and drive!!

Just had a Google customer survey to fill out as I asked a couple of questions prior to purchase. In the last section about suggestions to improve the experience I put if they shipped my Nexus 5 this week it would improve mine

Google has a long way to come in relation to product roll outs. I had to wait a bit more than a month (think it was two months in the end) before I could get my hands on a Nexus 7 2013 in Australia after it went on sale in the US. Luckily I got mine from JB HiFi for cheaper than they ended up going for on the Play store. I managed to pick it up the day before it went on sale on Google Play so I avoided postal hold-ups.

I would be interested to know the amount of stock they had on hand for shipping on release day.

The problem they have is what is the magic number you need to met the unknown demand?

Looking like I'll see it tomorrow, its finally landed in AU, but the sort facility is in Derrimut on the other side of town so not likely to get on a truck and to me any time today, but at least it's not still in Kwung Chaiville or whatever it was called.

Call them up and see if you can get it from the depot?

Post by **Shonky** » Thu Nov 07, 2013 2:13 pm

Nah, I'll wait another day rather than do the 120km round trip.

120km round trip is rather large for just the "Other side of town"

It's a big town.

Interesting comparison of all Nexus phones.

My Nexus4 still has plenty of life in it yet!

I am hoping with the 5 the only reason for an upgrade would be they stop supporting it
