Nexus 5 Unlocked

Listing approved. Thanks for using Swappa.

when was this purchased? Was it purchased from google?

Purchased late last year direct from Google Play Store.

is this the revised hardware (bigger speaker holes, etc) or the original release hardware

Got it new from Google Play in November. Not sure if original or revised hardware.

Lets do $330 and close this deal

I can meet you half way at $345 tonight and ship it on Monday when USPS is open.

ready when you are

Ok, I have updated the listing price.

Hello Jeff!
Just curious - what is your personal opinion about Moto X in comparison to Nexus 5?
Thanks!

WWW Y - I thought it would be a downgrade, but I am really loving the Moto X. I got the 32GB version, so I have the same amount of storage. The camera is about on par for both phones–good but not great compared to some other flagship phones. I miss the larger screen size of the N5, but I feel like the Moto has a more vibrant display, even with the lower resolution. The Moto feels pretty much like stock Android which I like, and even though the specs aren't as great as the Nexus 5 on paper, I haven't noticed any perceivable difference in real world usage. Overall I wouldn't say the Moto is a better phone, but I don't regret making the switch, especially factoring the huge cost savings with Republic Wireless.

Thank you, Jeff, for your detailed and honest reply! More and more I feel like I'm deviating towards Moto X - there is something mystical about it), nonetheless, Nexus 5 follows right behind, either one could be a winner.
Thank you once again!

is this still available?
What carrier did you use it on?
do you promise that the screen is perfect?
I've never bought a 'used' phone before and I'd love to save the $$ vs buying new from Google
Is shipping extra? and is there sales tax added on? (I live in a high 8% tax area)

To add my 2 cents to Jeff's comments, I'd say he's right about the Moto X screen being more vibrant and there's no significant perceivable difference in terms of resolution. But I've got to disagree about the camera. From my personal experience, I found the N5 camera to be a notch better. I do prefer Motorola's minimal skin though.

@Susan G - The phone is available. I used it on AT&T and also briefly on T-Mobile, but there should be no issue using it on any GSM (sim card) carrier. It is not locked to any carrier. The phone, including the screen, looks new. USPS priority shipping with tracking is included in the cost, and I do insist on using signature confirmation, so you need to make sure someone would be available to sign for the package. Also, as mentioned in the listing I will only ship to buyers with a verified PayPal address. There is no sales tax through Swappa as far as I am aware.

Jeff, I'm interested in both devices. What's the best you can do? Sorry for squatting your post earlier

@Pyrolyser - My experience was with both cameras the pictures were always great under optimal conditions (ie. still subject, outside with good light). Most of my photos tend to be of my kids who are too young to sit still, so I find the burst mode on the Moto X a little better than the N5 which can sometimes be a bit slow to find focus. Either way, for the money you can't go wrong with either phone on the whole!

I've used both and I've stuck to the Moto X. Anyway, concerning the price, I was referring your N5 and Moto G for a combined purchase.

@Pyrolyser - I can take off an extra $30 total from the combined listings if you buy both of them to factor in my reduced shipping costs and one less trip to the post office.

Hey Jeff, I just bought your phone!

Better luck next time

Pyrolyser sorry I just had to have this, I've been drooling over it at the T-mobile store for months, but they don't sell the 32GB version in the store and I figured this saved me $100 vs buying from Google plus tax and shipping. the My Touch 4G slide I'm replacing on Android 2.3 is a tad old.

@pyrolyser - If you still want the moto g I can take $10 off the price for you if you wanted to get it tonight and I can ship it tomorrow when I send the Nexus.

No worries Suzan, enjoy your new device. Jeff thanks for this and the previous offer but I was more interested in the package deal. Good luck with the sale of the G
