Same thing. And yes they do know, especially if you connect a Laptop to your Hotspot.

Yup, I tether my ipad all the time from my Sammy s3 phone and would never think of getting a 3g ipad as its just a wasted expense


I tethered the ipad to my phone one afternoon and used nearly 2gig of data thru it, I would hate to get caught doing that if your not supposed to

Mine just arrived

Minor panic when I cut my SIM down wrong , but managed to salvage it

First impressions are very good. It's much lighter than I expected, and the screen is very high quality. Not had a chance to play though - that will have to wait until this evening.

According to my tracking info, mine went to the wrong depot today

Quote from another forum:

Seen one today and getting one.

Material isn't as nice as the aluminium iPhone but everything else is better, screen is amazing compared to the 5S.

Anyone want an absolutely mint 5S?

Can anyone recommend a good wireless charger which is compatible? Don't think the Google one is released yet.

Think the QI is recommended.

I like the cloud print function on kit kat very good and works a treat. Only think I didn't like was when I turned the phone on it downloaded the kit kat update but only took a few mins

Bloody Parcelforce 'attempted' a delivery today at 16.15, bloody liars.

The same as has happened many times before they've taken it to the local main Post Office, it's funny that they attempt to deliver it and then within 2 minutes it's signed for at the main Post Office which is at least 10 minutes away in traffic.

And that's why I hate Parcelforce, and Royal Mail aren't much better either.

Received mine about an hour ago. Love it so far, screen is amazing and it's so much smoother than my old over clocked, Cyanogen running S2.

I'm waiting for the next version, Tampax.

At first I didn't believe that Google would sell the name of their product, then I remembered they're an advertising company... durr.

No need for you to wait, Apple already have it covered and patented.

Must have been the Samsung I saw. The Phampax, the one that's nothing like a Tampax.

My daughter has now received her Nexus 5. She is really enjoying the large screen, speed and adaptability. For those wanting to migrate from apple environment. Google has taken care of that with straight forward steps to get everything onto her new phone. Her music now ported and itunes account dumped. Also all her contacts are now on Google.
