Nexus 5 on sale

bromley52

For anyone interested CPW uk and the UK Google store are selling the Nexus 5. CPW is £15 cheaper if you can buy from them.


mod edit:

Carphone Warehouse link - £295 (16gb only)
NOTE: seems they will only ship to mainland UK

Anyone looking to buy through the UK playstore could try these steps

Just use parcel motel. Maybe someone in NI could let us know when they are on the shelves up there.

TBH I would only upgrade if the camera is substantially better than my Xperia T. I haven't been impressed with LG cameras in the past.

Camera won't be better than the Sony one.

CPW UK only ship to mainland UK I'm afraid.

I ordered yesterday evening from play store UK to parcel motel. Order status is still "pending". I so hope it goes through. I bought Nexus 4 this way 2 months ago when Google cut the price. It was no brainer to me. I'll keep you updated. Meanwhile can somebody confirm if CPW UK sends them to parcel motel? Though AFAIK CPW UK has only 16GB versions and I want the 32GB one

Just did a dummy purchase on CPW and got to the Credit/Debit card details and all seems fine. I'd imagine it would go through okay once your billing address is the same as the Parcel Motel one (I'm sure a temporary address change is feasible).

But I'm not in the market for one of these phones, as of yet (pretty happy with my S4 atm). I'll have to keep tabs on the N5 thread though, just to see what I might be missing out on!

Any one know if bricks and mortar Car Phone warehouse stores in the North might be stocking these at some stage?

Heh...their IE account is being bombarded: https://twitter.com/CarphoneIE

I've asked their UK account.

You can reserve one on their website and collect it up north. As far as I am aware it is just the 16gb and it is 15 pound cheaper than Google Playstore.

Rang them about 10 times, (other stores too) but none Would answer the phones...
Was willing to drive up there if they would keep one but never did.

Hate all the waiting. You always see stuff in US, then trickled down to UK for 40% higher price and eventually deliveries to IE or IE stores selling for another 15% on top. Joke..
Also if it goes the same path Google dongle went might as well buy something else than wait. It all looks good in trade shows until it actually reaches the stores with hefty premium.

In fairness prices in the US don't include tax, which is usually under 10% when added whereas us and the UK prices will include VAT at in or around 20%

Theoretically yes, not in real world. Most devices I have purchased in UK and especially Ireland had 40% margin compared to US ones.

Just in case you were going to get this phone from the US for a cheaper price as you say, be warned that it will not work on 4G networks in Europe.
There is a US spec LTE Nexus 5 with US only bands and then the rest of world version with US and Asia 4G LTE bands.
If this doesn't concern you, like using 3G only, then getting the US version is worth it.

Any idea if O2 etc will have this soon? Why does the UK get it and we can't??
