I definitely want to get a Nexus 5 (battery and camera issues aside), but all the reported defects with either the speakers, scratches on the screen, loose buttons, etc are giving me pause. I'm thinking about waiting a month or so until the inventory at the stores gets another batch from LG.
Is anyone else waiting to get the phone until new inventory is replaces with new batches/revisions of the inventory?
How long do you think I should wait before the next batches come out? How long are you waiting?
Just get it. I've had zero issues with the phone.

No defects, no light bleed, tight power button, tight volume button.
Perfect.

16GB
no mine is fine. 32gb white everything is tight and beautiful display none of the "bleeding" or whatever shananagins that is allegedly going on.
Echo most of the statements here about good quality device. Still can't believe the value for the price. I've used mostly Sony devices for the past seven years. They launch at one and a half the cost and update the software at least six months after it's released.

Mine works perfectly. But sadly I'm returning it. At&t (straight talk) had better signal yet there is no LTE. I'll be sticking with Verizon. Signal is not as strong but I get LTE in 90% of places.

This phone is flawless. I think most of the "problems" are just people exaggerating or people whose desires are insatiable
That defect thread is poison...
Don't worry about it. That's just a handful of people with issues, it doesn't mean every N5 is defective. If you want one now, get one now. If it has some horrible issue, exchange it for another one. Simple as that.
I don't want to ruin your party but I have 7 dead pixels on my screen and believe me I'm not exaggerating I guess it just comes down to each person experience with their units, I would recommend based on mine to wait.

There were 4 or so revisions of the Nexus 4. It's never wrong to let manufacturers work out the kinks on the first sacrificial lambs.
I'm not really worried about the "defects", I'm waiting more for the dev scene to get cookin... I know I'm gonna wanna flash something as soon as I get the phone. I'm also on Sprint and things seem to be pretty hit or miss with them right now, so I'm giving them time to get it sorted (hopefully).
Just don't wait too long, or you might find yourself trying to decide between the n5 and galaxy s5...

I'm definitely waiting.
Rushed into getting the N4 in first batch last year and regretted that decision.

Same here, but how much should we wait is the question? A month or two or even more?
This could be tracked with the serial numbers of the devices I guess, considering posting a thread about this in a couple of days.
Hopefully they update the inventory in Germany soon.

Yet my Rev 1 is just fine, and always has been.
Another vote for just getting it. 16gb white, ordered within 5 minutes of release and everything works great.

How fast is the speed on straight talk?
Even on HSPA+ I get 16 down with the nexus 5, which is more than enough for anything I personally do on a phone. Including streaming movies.

So because you didn't have any issues that means the thousands of other phones out there never had any? Yes that's intelligent logic.

Many in these forums go out of their way to look for issues (rattling buttons - give me a break - they float in the casing over the actual electrical contacts).
Lots of products get revved throughout their life cycle. It doesn't mean all previous revs were defective.
You can wait if you want to. Hell, I'll probably wait for the nexus 6 as I just don't see this one as that much of an upgrade, and a newer, better one is less than a year away.
I got my N5 day after release day and it is flawless, not a single problem.

Is dumb as the statement may sound, those who feel like waiting should, those who don't, shouldn't.
I'll explain why.
Those who can quickly get pissed of that their phone doesn't have "nipples" (N4 reversion), or the smallest most insignificant change, should wait.
For most people, that never an issue, and they should buy soon, but for me, I was childishly willing to pay $30, to trade with a newer reversion... Luckily I didn't get the opportunity to

I head rumors that the new nexus will is labeled under code name "Naked"
This phone will be so thin and flexible. They accomplished this by not including a hardshell or case, but something flexible and soft. THink of softshell crab.
Google figured that since 80% of the folks out there use put a case in a case that it would be counter intuitive to to sell a phone with a case.
Battery will be silver soldered on the flexible screen.
Okay so I got the note 4 a couple of days ago but I seriously can't take the freaking lag nothing runs smooth on this phone my nexus 4 that I'm coming from is waaaay faster at everything, luckily I'm still within my two weeks and I was thinking of trading in my note for a nexus 5 and then once the nexus 6 comes out switching over that. What are some of your guys opinions of this?

My opinion is that you're putting a lot of thought into irrelevant things. Go outside and enjoy life.

Why even get the Nexus 5 if you are going to switch to the Nexus 6 so soon? That makes no sense. One or the other.
Because I have no other phone and I don't want to keep this phone longer the reason I would switch is because the n5 is cheap and would be a good replacement for a month
How are you planning on trading devices on Craigslist?

No way note 4 laggs. Played with one for a bit. No way.
I had a Note 3 and it had almost no lag, so I highly doubt the Note 4 lags much if at all. Doing all this phone trading will leave you out of pocket, just settle on one phone and keep it.

As the title says. I'm pretty set that I'm gonna get the Z5 as my phone contract is due in October. I love everything I've seen about it so far. And they say they've fixed the heating issue...
But have they? It's my only concern

Check this out article out. We'll of course have to wait for reviews to know for sure though.

So hopefully all will be ok. I personally don't play games on my phone so I'm guessing it's never under that much load anyways?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yep, of course. That's why you buy after some reviews come out. Don't buy it on launch
Well I've got about a week from launch to my phone contract due ?
