omg! Delivery attempted!!!

Lol.. I understand the feeling. If you're using EMS, you will have to wait till Monday liao... Another downside of using Singpost, they won't entertain one day notice of re-delivery.

Speedpost has just delivered my n5 to my house. Strange they didnt collect any GST. Cant wait to go home to try it out

Total damage:
n5 (google jp) - yen39800 = 517.32
tenso japan (Jshoppers) - yen1411 = 18.34
Total amt = 535.34

Actually, I am disappointed with the N5. It is actually an inferior devise compared to LG G2. But I got a US version anyway as I'm keeping my 3G plan (need the 12gb data) and it cost under S$550 with freight and tax.

Otherwise, if I'm on LTE plan, I will definitely get the G2 and load custom rom.

To pay over $650/- for the japan/asian N5 LTE version is not worth it, in my humble opinion.

Also somewhat disappointed and very itchy to try G2, but dunno how much of it is real. Maybe if I stop reading HWZ and other forums I will be happy and enjoy my Nexus 5..

Take urgent half day off now.

If you're lucky, you can get it cut for free at an ah beng shop.

i wish i have leave left so no choice but to suck thumb till 5.30pm then go home and check it out.... ok later I stroll nearby my office area.. i think i saw one ah beng HP stall nearby before

all these while I have been using Nexus since one then galaxy then now 5.

To me hardware spec is not critical to me cos I fancy a true Google phone where I can do without any manufacturer overlays.... moreover i will be one of the many who got this phone to receive the up to date version from Google.

Self-cut, just need sharp pair of scissors and steady hands.

None of you guys are concerned at all about the battery life (or lack of it)?

shouldn't be a issue la, unless you use your phone the whole day, the battery won't so fast die one...

Yes, I do have the concern of battery life. But I believe Google will fix if it is a issue.

I still remembered when I first got my n4 last Dec, the battery issue was so bad that I needed to charge twice a day based on my normal usage. Subsequently, Google patched it and it is now okay.
