Links, I'll cancel my order ASAP. I'm already at the point that I'm about to hail mary my Galaxy Nexus if I pick it up and find it out of battery. :snoop:

I been flip flopping on this phone. I was back on the bandwagon again until I read folk complaining about the battery life which is not surprising since the battery specs were :flabbynsick:. Why couldn't they use the G2 battery? :damn:

Just got out of work a couple of hours ago and my phone was delivered.

After spending an hour setting it up/downloading apps I tried out the camera and noticed a stuck pixel on the top center of the screen:damn::damn::damn:

Luckily I bought a second black one and a white (for the potential flip, we all hustlers here right) and the other one is crispy clean:whew:

Anyway I'm liking 4.4, the design, and especially the screen. I'm coming from a S2 so this is a big jump from me. Ready for tomorrow so I can test out the battery life and T-Mobile's LTE.

I have hardly put my N5 down and my battery still makes it a full day.im not much of a gamer but that's the only thing that seems to kill the battery. It's a full improvement on the N4 in every way possible. Obviously by no means a perfect phone, but I seriously doubt you'll get better bang for your buck with any device than this.

I'm hearing the battery life is :dead:.
Lasts a full day for me so far with light-moderate usage at work and heavy usage at home. It's definitely in the red by 10 pm. Just have to make sure I put it on the charger overnight

The real test will be how it performs this weekend when I'm off of work though....

Yeah it's dope for what it is. I haven't had to use my laptop or tablet since I got this so I already feel like the purchase is worth it. With my lumia, I had to have one or the other around when I got frustrated.

It's definitely not perfect, but it has a pretty good camera, decent (not amazing) battery life and is fast as hell. I can't complain so far.

I got a Galaxy S4 a couple months ago, kind of wish I had waited.
Me too but why, we gonna be thinking like this every few months when a newer phone comes out, dont be a victim of consumerism brehbreh

I mean why is this really better than our s4's?
