The Nexus 5 Thread

[Darknights]

thanks squeeish

I presume when registering google jp account, must use tenso address right? but what about payment methods? if use cc, wouldn't it not tally with our cc bank records?

the address verification is done by Address Verification System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . Because of the various format use in addresses over the world, the chances of it failing the verification is very high. that's why most merchant choose to ignore it even though it doesn't tally.

[Pocketnow] Nexus 5 vs Moto X

Interesting video...am using the moto X myself and love it. Throw out the spec because this thing just rocks as a usable smartphone.
Ordered the nexus 5 for comparison (possibly for the wife)

Anyone can confirm Japan LTE sets compatible with SG sets? Thanks

Ugh my first order which was declined by Google now has changed the status to pending and my bank is charged again for another order.

I suppose if I can't cancel the order, I have to let it go to anyone who's interested in it. It's a 16GB black variant.

How much you planning to sell?. Is it uk/jp variant?

Should be better then the nexus....

S4 Cpu , Battery 2200Mah , Screen smaller...

I think you are deep into the phone addiction... Haha

Anyone ditching note 3 for this?

 

[froyotrading]

ordered yesterday, got email saying shipped. Frm SG -> JP, and then JP -> SG. How stupid.

 

[froyotrading]

And bros..how long did it take to reach the warehouse in Japan...I send my details in but didn't get a reply

SG is just the admin office.... If you did read thru the thread you would know..

Pretty good...i dont have data etc. but for what the phone does (active notifications, touchless control, moto connect, moto assist) it easily lasts me >24 hrs on avg to heavy use. Best thing about this phone is its form factor and SW features...actual usable features.

How did you manage to purchase it? Last i check only available with contract in us

 

[Goliathius]

I cancelled my first order(1st Nov) and reordered last night 10pm, this morning shipped.

what was the shipping date when you did the 2nd re-order?

shipped in 3 - 4 weeks from warehouse?

You bought from US ? I loved the screen, size and hands free functions.

I was tempted...but felt that the it is a tad overpriced when converted to SGD especially when it does not support local 4G LTE and non-flagship specs. Not to mention the poor poor camera image quality.

Given that LG G2 cost only 700 off contract, Moto X should be priced well below that.

Correct if I'm wrong, the bank only disable card usage for magnetic swipe transactions.

some banks also disable overseas(online) usage if your card wasn't used overseas (online) before. I have received letters from SCB/citi etc, that my card will be enabled for these modes as I have used them overseas/online before..

Ordered 2 32GB Black via JAP playstore last night 9pm

Seems that my order is stuck on pending and I have not received any email. Called my bank and the CC wasn't charged yet, only the 2$ verification was there.

Anyone can explain this ? :'(

No one here can tell for you sure as I don't think anyone has received their N5 from JP/Australia yet.

Check back in a few days bah...

Calm down, this is perfectly normal. Takes time for Google and the bank to process your order. I was lucky enough and it took a day before JP Play store decided to ship my order.

I got the DE version, no contract. Slight discount from friend's employee discount

Of all the things you listed, I'll only concede the 4G LTE (but you can buy the Canada Rogers version which will support 2600MHz). Everything else is not an issue for me. This thing focuses on usability and not paper specs and damn, it delivers . Camera has improved with SW, and the G2 is simply too humongous for me.
Price has come down recently too...
sorry folks dont mean to go off on a tangent regarding the Moto x
