Little under two days to the uk
Almost two days only because I ordered the phone late at night so it didn't process till the next morning.
Then from that morning it took less than 24 hours and got it the next morning.
28 long long hours.
Why is Monday sooooo far away from Friday, and Friday so bloody close to Monday?
The real question is why do we work 5 days out of the week, and only take 2 days off to enjoy ourselves?
You want to try working a 'backwards rotating variable shift pattern over thirty five days'. I don't even know what f*****g day it is, never mind when my next day off is due
Daily Steals has Nook Color for $134.99 + $4.99 shipping. I have not purchased
from them but the cheapest I have seen for the Nook Color.
You beat me to it!
I had posted this a little bit ago in the "members found deals" of the market place.
I've ordered from dailysteals before with no issues!!
The link is http://www.dailysteals.com/?utm_sou...1_Tuesday_5_Deals_10_17_2011&utm_medium=email
I thought i was going to break the news... maybe next time.
Yep, the time to sell my NC was 2 months ago
Beat me too. Got my 3rd from them 2 weeks ago for $149! Took my son to B and N to get a gel case.. still $250. Amazing. She did hint that there would be a price change in a few weeks.
This nook color offer says "90 day warranty". The one I ordered 2 weeks ago from steals said "1 year warranty". Why the change or just a misprint?
B and N brought down the refurb ones on EBay to 149$ free shipping...
Daily steals says:
What You Get:
Barnes & Noble NOOK Color
Factory Refurbished
1 Year Warranty
Ridiculously good deal. Almost as good as the BlackBerry Playbook I got for $100 last week lol.
For that price, I'm tempted to get a second nook.

Playbook? Where from?
Stay away from DailySteals!!!
I ordered a NC on Sept 30.
Oct 6 showed a UPS tracking number.
No updates since then.
Last communication (after several e-mails) I had was on Sunday Oct 16 that they were "looking into it".
Nada since then. They don't answer their phones. E-mails get an auto response claiming they will respond within 1-2 business days, then nothing. Absolutely the WORST customer "service" I have ever encountered!
i bought one from them a week ago for 167 crap...
Yeah, dailysteals shipping is ridiculously slow, took like 2.5 weeks to receive mine. And you can't cancel it once it ships.
Not exactly a daily steals fanboy, but I bought my NC from them. It took a couple of weeks to get it...but no drama. Rooted it with CM7 and 15 minutes later...good to go. Had to alter the build.prop for Netflix. Everything good so far.

They *finally* admitted that mine was "lost in transit" and will refund my money.
I got my wife and I's last night. I have her running CM7 off of microSD card, and I installed to internal memory. Everything went smoothly and the performance of both is great. Both overclocked to 1.2 Ghz.
Got in on the deal, received mine last evening... haven't had time to hack it properly yet, but guess what's going to happen when I get home tonight?
And yes, they took 8 days to ship, and it was another 4 or so in transit.
DailySteals is a bloody nightmare. Took forever to ship, and then to the wrong
address (not even the right state).
They do not answer their emails unless you start a paypal claim which I have, since
it has been over 2 weeks, and there is no chance I will ever receive it.
After all the hassle with Daily Steals (they actually *did* process the refund), I finally got around to ordering one for $139 with free shipping from buy.com. Ordered yesterday; UPS tracking shows delivery tomorrow.
Buy.com has them for $139 and free shipping

Is anyone else going?
It looks to be better this year than it was last year. I'm just happy that I'll finally get to see Alice Cooper perform (a)live.
I've been four different years, it gets worse each year. I have never paid to go, I work a few hours and get to play the rest. I'm liking the lineup this year, and I'd actually consider going (I didn't go last year), but my brother's graduation is the 9th, so no such luck.
Have fun, though!
I was looking into volunteering so I could get in free, but I just shook that off and gave them my money (maybe next year, if the lineup is as good). Friends wanted me to go last year, I didn't do that either. This will be my first year there (mainly for the good lineup). I hope it's good enough for me to want to return.
And thanks!
I didn't volunteer, I actually worked with a food vendor. My first year there we were actually on shakedown street, it was nuts.
Definitely have a good time, but remember to be safe. There's free water all around so keep yourself hydrated.
Last time I was there I ran into Jack Black at the Spicy Pie stand (great pizza, btw). He was strangely a very normal person.
Ahhh, gotcha.
My friends' band, Alabama Shakes, is playing up there, and I can't wait for it. And yeah, there will be plenty of water on my end and no drugs in the convoy. And I have all the camping equipment I'll ever need. I'm just extremely excited at this point.

I've been searching for an Aussie Nexus 5 thread and couldn't see one so I thought I'd kick it off.
I missed out on the 1st run of black 32Gb devices so ordered mine when the 2nd batch came out on 3rd November.
I have to wait until 6th December to get it, so I'm hanging.
I notice the black 32Gb have sold out again today, these things are like hotcakes.
Any of you Aussies got yours yet?
Ordered mine on release day, had it for a week now. Couldn't be happier, but remember this IS half price over other top end phones.
I mean, it's simply brilliant but it does have it faults. Having said that though, I'd go through it all and buy another one if I had to.
Im in the exact same situation as OP. I bought black 32gb on november 6 and it says its gonna ship on december 6. Do u know why its taking so long?

Because... GOOGLE! HURRAH!
Seriously though, at least this release isn't as bad as the Nexus 4 release. But still, a month is far too long.
I know, i expected 1-2 weeks not a month.

I was having trouble sleeping the night that it was released. So I got up at like 5:30am... and was just wasting time on the net and thought I'd check out the Google Play store and the Nexus 5 was there. Woke my missus up for permission (so didn't enjoy that) and was lucky enough to get it the following Tuesday.
It is going great so far. I have noticed that people whinge about anything and everything they can find. You might want to lower the DPI though because it looks like an old person's phone with massive icons that you can read from 10metres away.
But wouldnt lowering dpi make some apps incompatible in play store?

Hey guys, good to see a few Aussies on xda. I purchased my n5 black 32gb from the play store the morning it launched. And received it the Wednesday after.
I'm really happy with it. Coming from an n4 the screen is bigger and better. Despite the bad reviews battery life is definitely better than the n4.
It feels lighter and really nice in the hand
Currently running cataclysm rom with Franco kernel and loving it

This thing rules. Same as the guy above, ordered the morning of, about 8.30am when I got to work and it turned up the Wednesday after. Black 16GB because I wasn't going to wait for the 32GB which was already 2-3 weeks delay by 8.30am.
Will have to try the DPI trick but actually happy with the stock ROM at this stage. This has to be longest I've left any of my android phones at stock [well i did root and TWRP but that doesn't count, right?]
Bought my 32GB Black the morning it was announced, delivered a few days after. Unfortunately it's going for RMA due to random sleep if death and a faulty vibrator. RMA was easy though, requested last night and it's already been shipped, should arrive Monday.
Nice phone, but then so is my Nexus 4
I'm still using my S3 until my Nexus 5 turns up.
I got sick and tired of waiting for updates from Samsung and thought why stuff around and ordered a phone that would get the updates the quickest.

Sux about the faulty phone but at least you're getting a replacement quickly.
Ordered mine the day it was announced (went straight on the play store before work), it was delivered 4 days later. Been absolutely loving it so far.

i ordered mine when they were available the second time in the play store, mine arrived a few days ago. Although since its supposed to be a Christmas present and my mum paid for most of it i haven't even been able to open the box yet lol
I bought a white 16G the very morning it was announced. I checked the possible problems reported in other threads. Mine had 2 spots of little dirt under the glass and the power-rattle problem. I arranged RMA last week (not very difficult). Although it was said to be shipped in 3-4 weeks, it was actually shipped in two days. This time those two issues seem to be gone. Maybe it has been the second batch now and LG improves their quality control.
Ordered white 32gb day of release (I start work very early and have been checking the Google Play Store religiously).
Received it on Tuesday afternoon. Very fast delivery.
Since then I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted.
Attached a Spigen SGP GLAS.tR (For piece of mind)
This device is so awesome coming from a Galaxy S3.
Very fast. Battery life is amazing. Consistently getting 20hrs+ with 4hrs+ Screen on time & did I mention very fast :laugh:

Now that's what I wanted to hear.
I also have an S3 which will soon be my wife's phone. The 6th December can't come fast enough.
