The usual limitations.

The tv ad is incredibly boring too !

Nice phone though.

Well the Nexus 4 had 2,100mAh battery which was terrible. Now this has 1080p screen and they only increased the battery by 200mAh. Not wise

Ordered one yesterday a few hours after announcement. Due to be delivered Monday. If not, then Wednesday. (tues public holiday = no courier). Chose the white one. Something different. Ill end up putting a case on it probably so should have just went black!

Battery not a concern for me. Will easily last a day and I charge my phone overnight all the time. KitKat is 'meant' to be more efficient, obviously the s800 CPU is as well. Will soon find out! The Nexus 4 battery was quite decent imho, easily lasted the day.

Screen seems to be just as good as G2 from early reports.

Memory isnt an issue, my 16gb nexus 4 ive had since earlier this year has never gone below 9GB available storage! I have a sony android mp3 player so.........

Been away for quite some time, as you all know anyway, but have to get these points in for the benefit of others.

Whilst we know most of the specs are amazing, the overall Nexus phone experience just isn't if the Nexus 4 is anything to go by, and I think it is, I mean, compared to the competition, the Nexus 4 was way ahead, the Nexus 5 isn't at all.

Firstly, bugs are here to stay for the long run. Google hardly ever send out minor updates. Any bugs stay for quite a while before they leave.

Secondly, there's NOTHING exciting. At all. Nothing to look forward to. The only 'special' thing is we get updates faster. I'd rather have Sony's 4.1 over Google 4.4. And we get updates for longer? Whilst we've heard it's a TI issue why the gnex won't be getting any more updates, if the world doesn't cry itself dead, what's stopping Google stopping updates for the N4 after 18 months?

Also, the build quality. Corners HAVE been cut. Rest assured. Especially you early adopters. This is one of them.

Now the price. In the N4 days, it was just crazy. It still it. But not as much. Why? Well, you could have the Nexus flagship for 2 years in the cost of having one flagship from any other manufacturer. Now, it's more than that. Still the best value for money phone on the market by far. But one flagship from a manufacturer like Sony is way better.

Needless to say, the N4 has horrendous battery life, I'm expecting the N5 to keep that up.

Screen should be amazing though, but if based on the g2 again, then cold.

Camera should be rubbish.

The phone is ugly. But I said the same about the N4 until I saw it in the flesh, and realised it was actually pretty beautiful, just not photogenic.

Delivery should be good in the UK.

Seriously guys, don't be tempted, invest in a proper flagship for many years rather than this for a shorter period.

All I can say is wow, I'm impressed.

At £295 it blows EVERYTHING else away, period.

Build quality appears to be top notch and we already know the 800 is a beast. Camera is a massive upgrade also. Can't comment on battery yet but I'm hoping the 800 lives up to its efficiency hype.

This is a proper flagship, I can't see how it considered anything but?!
