AFAIA all Nexus 5's are SIM free?

All nexus 5 thaT you buy DIRECTLY FROM GOOGLE PLAY will be sim free, dunno about other suppliers

Probably ones purchased outright from CPW will be sim-free, not so for the ones purchased under contract, they will probably be sim locked.

I was all set to buy a nexus 5 but saw a worrying review of its camera by the verge on YouTube. It basically said that the camera is rubbish and a lot of the photos it takes are blurry.

A good camera is important to me, so not sure what to do. Apparently google will apply some software upgrades soon which might improve the situation but the reviewer implied the problem was a hardware issue...

Judging by the photos here it seems that that the camera takes better pics than the one on the iphone 5s

£429 at CPW now. Glad mine's coming tomorrow :-)

They said it's not the best camera, and not as good as the much more expensive phones it's up against. If you want a better camera, you need to spend more money, is the not very surprising conclusion. Samsung S4, HTC One have better cameras. They're also more expensive. Nokia Lumia 1020 (?) has the best camera on a phone.

The review gives a false impression of the camera - I've got one and it takes very good pictures (there are loads posted online now). I'm sure there are a few phones that take better pictures, but I would say that if you want a better camera than the Nexus 5 you probably want a Nokia 1020 (which has its own drawbacks as a phone and is a lot more expensive) or an actual camera.

How much? It's £339 for the 32gb model on the Play store, less than £300 for the 16Gb.

Are CPW customers really that daft?

Ah, just noticed - for delivery in 2-3 weeks. People are paying £100 premium to avoid waiting 21 days.

Actually, that still is pretty daft
