Nexus 5 Has Arrived!
And it has arrived! The new Nexus 5 from Google running Android 4.4 KitKat is now in my hands and I've had a few hours to live with it.
Overall it's a great phone. It's so light it almost feels fake although it weighs the exact same as my HTC 8X (130 grams). One that that really stands out is how incredibly fast it is. When scrolling through my online Google Gallery of photos it scrolls so fast and smoothly that you can't even see all the folders (of which there are over 100).
Right now my only complaint is the size - it just feels a little too big. My HTC 8X was slim and even the larger Moto X felt good, but add on those extra .25" of screen and suddenly it just feels too big.
I will continue to update how things go, but I wanted to quickly give my first impressions.

UPDATE: I've taken a closer look at theoto X width and there is barely a difference. Why the Nexus feels larger seems to be the Moto X's curved back - it makes it feel more comfortable to hold.
