darrenm Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Considering how many reports I'm seeing of the new G+ update working better in Firefox than in Chrome on Linux... They're certainly not infallible, and the inevitable result of having to hire lots of new developers for their expansion means that the quality will drop. But YouTube not working on Android would be a fairly obvious fault. Darren, could you give me your impressions on the N5 when you get it? (Say, after a days use?) I will do but I think I can see what it's going to be like from what I've read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there's no real weak point and it has the latest and greatest hardware available with latest pure Android. So I'm going to be impressed the speed, camera, feel. I'll be slightly disappointed with the LCD screen as I'm used to AMOLED and plasma, and the lack of a removable battery will be a bit of a bind until I get an inductive charger. The Galaxy Nexus with 4.3 currently has about 100MB free RAM after the OS so once you have a few apps installed, you can get about 3 apps in onPause so it's constantly killing the launcher making the experience not great. Therefore the wow factor will be right there from the beginning and I'll love it until I get used to it I'm not going to tell you what mine is like as you haven't asked me. This might not be true. whaaa? You getting yours tomorrow too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not perl though, that wouldn't work at all ;-) Join em, sort em out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limpid Posted November 4, 2013 Administrator Share Posted November 4, 2013 I hate Parcelfarce. My item is out for delivery today, but I'm in the office as their crappy tracking site said that the item hadn't been collected (fro Google) yet. Argh.

TheDon Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Ordered mine Friday morning, gave me an estimate of leaving the warehouse on the 8th, turned up today. Not too bad. Currently downloading a system update, then I'll be having a good play. Going from the s3 to the n5, fed up of having to choose between carrier bloat or buggy custom roms.
