after using the nexus 5 for 3 months, i can safely say it's one of the worst phone ever

camera - sucks big time
snapdragon 800 but slow
activating the camera takes ages
open up gallery takes ages - and i have less than 100 photos in my album. sometimes, it hangs
battery - 4 hours and its less than 25%
try using and charging - it uses the battery faster than it can charge
cant connect to car audio via usb
speaker v soft

Come, I'll trade your phone with my Moto G.

Either try to find on eBay or u can use a fine pin or needle or a small paperclip since the hole is quite small. Can also try mechanical pencil lead lol

Or can just buy those sim adapters set. Normally they include a sim ejector tool as well. Cheap and can keep those adapters just in case in future need.

Check with phone shops which deal with second hand phones. The pin from many other LG models (e.g. Optimus G) will work with Nexus 5.

Comes with the eject tool

The iPhone hole is bigger so probably the noosy pin cannot go into nexus 5 eject hole, Nexus 5 one is much smaller.

Maybe later when home I can try my noosy pin, though I think likely can't fit nexus 5.

There is another brand called UBMSA. I had both the Noosy and UBMSA package, and one of ejector tool has a slimmer pin. Can't remember which one though, so probably the UBMSA. That slimmer pin fits into most phones i've tried. HTC One, Moto X, iPhone, Nexus 5, and even Nexus 4. But it really could be random, might be just by chance that I receive a slimmer pin.

anyway, i think sad_xiaoxin is looking specifically for the original ejector tool that came with the Nexus 5.
