Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet. We're working to bring devices to more countries as quickly as possible. Please check back again soon.

  That is SO annoying. Can't they just show us the info, without letting us buy. Google really sucks at this geo stuff. They turned off access to Google music (my OWN music uploaded!) today abroad. It makes me wonder who runs their geo department.

  I ordered mine just before midnight on 1st November (so 2 days after launch almost). Delivery time was stated as 3-4 weeks, expected delivery was 28th November. It got delivered yesterday! Still haven't opened the box yet cos I am away for work :( I'm in Canada too. I actually may end up returning mine, since LTE will not work in Europe and I return in 4 months....

I got mine on Tuesday. If anyone has any questions about the device, I'm happy to answer them.

  I'm tempted to get one but am worried about the bad camera reviews... Is it really that bad? How does the phone feel size-wise? Thanks.

    The phone feels nice, size wise. I'm a fellow with big palms and stubby fingers, and it feels just fine. In an effort to answer both questions at once.. http://i.imgur.com/tU642P1.jpg http://i.imgur.com/tU642P1.jpg

      Could you put a ruler next to the pen? Can't figure out how big it is :)

        The notepad looks like a standard US 11x8.5 in - perhaps that's good enough reference?

    I got mine this week as well. The camera is about what you expect from the reviews - acceptable, but not amazing. The biggest problem is start-up and focus lag when using the camera, but I read at least one review indicating that an update is coming out soon to address this. I'm happy with it size-wise, it feels about the same as the S3 I had before it (but with speed and screen noticeably improved)

  How well do VOIP apps work? Is the functionality of the device hampered by lack of a Google+ account? What are your impressions of its battery life?

  I have a Nexus 4. The only complain is the quick draining battery. How is the battery on your Nexus 5?

One of the interesting things about their pricing is that going from 16 to 32 GBs is only $50, vs $100 for the iPhone. I imagine this could do more damage to Apple's margins than anything else Google or Nexus does, if Apple starts to lose the premium they charge for storage upgrades.
