err the only bugs I encountered resolved themself after a reboot, only concurring thing is that with my current headphones where the cables are pretty fucked, I get interference noises if I don't hold the phone in hand, doesn't happen with my HD518 tho.
Battery life is alright, especially coming from a nexus one ;)
One hour of intensive web and steam and messaging drains the battery by a bit over 10 percent so that's alright.
Standard charging method is a simple wall charger (comes in the box) you would have to buy an extra wireless charger if you want to charge it that way. Takes longer though and they are too expensive in Germany atm.
My hands are big too, as long as you are not 2 metres tall I doubt it will be too small for you
And can confirm nipples are visible especially with 1080p

Somewhat unrelated, but I don't want to make a new thread. Does anyone have either an LG G2 mini, or a samsung galaxy 4 mini or an LG g2 mini? I was hoping to pick up one of those.
WARHURYEAHI have one, will write an essay tomorrow.
thx

I swear that cell phone screens are getting so large that people will have to start wearing Jyncos again to fit them in our pockets. If that joke dates me too much, here's a picture.

Essay please.
Well I found the address of a retailer, going to see what they have.
I don't have to worry about the price rising or them stopping production. Right?

I just bought a Nexus 5, it ships on Dec 11th. Really don't want it though, I impulse bought it and didn't see how awful the case options are (I need a waterproof case). Too late to cancel so I'm gonna RMA it as soon as it arrives and get something else.

The Moto X and Moto G are "splash proof", whatever that means.

Here's an essay (forgot to write one)
I have a Nexus 5, got it 2 days after release from Google, I have the 32GB version in black, I've had looaaads of phones (HTC One, Xperia Z, Samsung S3) and many more for a few weeks to test. By far this is the most responsive phone I've used without having to fuck around with the software...
The price for this handset is dirt cheap when you compare it to other top range handsets it's a steal, LG G2, S4's, Z1's, iPhone 5S etc. They all retail around £500 off contract (You can get it cheaper from other retailers but you can get fucked if the phone breaks etc.) With a Nexus 5 you get a phone that is equal or better specs (excluding camera).
So,
Pros:
- Look pretty awesome
- Amazing screen
- Good quality build
- "stock" android and you will get the latest android updates, you won't get any bloatware that comes with the other phones, no duplicate apps and shit, just standard stuff.
- It runs fucking quick, so far I haven't had any crashes or lag issues at all, on other handsets like the S4 & HTC One they have stuttered a little bit. (using ART which I'll get on to later)
Cons:
- Camera is ok but not brilliant
- Battery life is poor, for me it's no problem but I can see it being an issue for others
- I can't use it in the bath.
A good touch is the whole Google Now shit, they are updating it more and more so now it shows news updates for the websites I visit (etf2l, teamfortress.tv, overclockers etc.) and will show live scores of football teams I follow and stuff.
Out of all the phones I've had this is the best one by far, but it's really carried by the fucking price, if it was the same price as the other phones you'd probably select one of the others as some have removable batteries (S4) or Micro SD card slots (S4, G2, Z1). But because it's almost half the price it's so worth it as you get a fucking awesomely quick phone for it.
One of the other things that make it awesome is ART, basically apps take longer to install and use more memory, but it is so much quicker, switching between apps are seamless and battery life has improved also. This feature is coming to all phones that will run 4.4 so any lag issues I mentioned with other phones will probably be resolved as long as they implement their own updates well.

If you want a waterproof case/phone you should look at a Z1, decent phone, quite expensive though with a IP57/8?! rating. other than that you will have to do a search of cases for certain phones (otterbox do water resistant cases but only for popular models phones), the Moto X + G are splash proof as atmo said, but manufacturer splash proof is like you can spit on it and it will be fine. The nexus 5 will unlikely get a water resistant case as they are only on sale for a year and they aren't heavily marketed so case makers don't really look into making them.
tl;dr
nexus 5 is fucking cheap and good.
