New phone

[jack]

I got my new Nexus 5. It arrived quite quickly despite not being next-day delivery.

On impulse I got shiny-white instead of shiny-black, mostly to distinguish it from almost-identical-looking phones of my nearest and dearest :) It's actually more of a domino, white on the back and black on the front, which I don't think looks as elegant. But it looks fine.

Everything installed fairly easily! I transferred across most of my most-used apps just by installing them and didn't have to do anything else. Using google is problematic, but makes this sort of thing really easy.

I was just in time to recharge some of my remote ingress portals before they decayed, yay :)

Also, I can get text messages again.

Also, agh, apparently the update that failed to install on my old phone maybe saved me from SMS-combined-with-Hangouts :(

Also, yay, all the buttons work, as does the edges of the screen :)

I got the red version, so I'll never have to think about which one's mine again ;-) It's a nice phone, if too big for my small hands.

Oh, good idea! I hadn't realised there was a red one or I'd have been very tempted. But I'm happy with the one I've got.
