Checked out Google play Australia as I'll be there next week. However, it lists shipping from warehouse in 3-4 weeks. Too bad. Would have grabbed a couple back

Dont too worry about the order estimation date of 3-4weeks. Ordered a google play USA 16gb black which stated 3-4weeks but shipped the next day.

But well, google are always being random. Not in FIFO order

For me I will definitely holding my HTC one.
I see there is not much difference between S600 and S800
I just can't stand the soft volume output of N5 and the bad battery life reported by many users in XDA.

Seems like huge difference in terms of power consumption.. But how about process handling?

BGR's Zach Epstein counter points on what is good in the Nexus 5 after his article on the shortfalls:
I'd think price wise is more relevant in USA but over here in Malaysia don't expect LG to offer it too cheap and at best only slightly cheaper than the Sony, Samsung, HTC. This is based on their N4 released pricing

Any my own user already

LTE will use up more data compared to 3G? 1gb should be enough for month use right? considering i have wifi at home and all i do with the data is whatsapp, insta,fb,twitter

way more enough la bro. I'm using Unifi and only on my data when I go out. Umobile here with 500MB data but every month can't even finish it. As long as you dont YouTube then that's enough.

bro are you serious bout 500mb cant finish ?

that i think for me 1 week could finish it d

1GB is more than enough for everyday use. My data is on 24/7 and normal use of surfing/whatsapp/fb/insta and sometimes mobile wifi for my laptop will not exceed 500mb of data. You can stream videos if you want but just keep track of the data usage of course, I usually stream at the end of the month where I have balance left. Utilize the remainder man. Lol

Depends on how you use it. LTE means faster data transfer rate and when you have a fast transfer rate, you will automatically use too much. For instance, when you watch a video and it loaded up pretty fast, chances are you will watch another one and that would means more data consumed.

However if you only use the phone mainly for whatsapp, instagram, facebook and twitter, my bet is that 1gb would be suffice. Like I said, depends on how you use it.

What can you expect when the phone is cheap compare to other flagship phone.

Really la, I only use whatsapp, facebook, email and some lite web browsing only. Apps update all set to be done over wifi.

anyone know delivery period for usa now?, if booking by this week.

Take note;

There are two Nexus 5 versions.
Nexus 5 D820 model (North America)
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA: Band Class - 0/1/10
WCDMA: Bands - 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE: Bands - 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41

Nexus 5 D821 model (Rest of the world)
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands - 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands - 1/3/5/7/8/20
Some people have received answers from Google informing that there is only one version available and it isn't actually incorrect because you are asking about U.S. Google Play and from there you can indeed get only one version - D820 (North America). If you want to get D821 model, then you will have to buy it from any other country that are selling Nexus 5 in Google Playstore (UK, Australia, Germany, Spain, etc.).

Google has confirmed that for me:

"Unfortunately, you won't be able to purchase the world version of the NEXUS 5 in the U.S. Google Playstore."


If you want to buy Nexus 5 in U.S. Google Playstore and use it in other country, you can still do it. It will work just fine except for one thing - if your carrier for 4G is using any of LTE bands 3, 7, 8 or 20 then only LTE (4G) will not work for you, 3G and voice will still work. That's it.

Note: Malaysian LTE Band 3 & 7

So far only Maxis and Celcom offer LTE right?

its true. i used to be on 500mb and i couldn't finish. I decided to upgrade to 1gb because i changed plan and its the same price as before, might as well use 1gb for future use when i get nexus

just wondering, how much do you guys pay monthly for phone bill? is rm80 alot without contract?

also, i guess we should stop comparing flagship models with the nexus5. for a comparison to be valid we should be comparing items of the same price range. we should be comparing with the likes of galaxy ace and i5c

DG68++ 3gb 2 years contract

I thought DiGi have LTE too but limited area. no?
