One nice phone.

My Pc: Cpu: I7 4790k @ 4,8 Ghz @1,25 volts, Motherboard: Maximus VII Formula, Graphicscard: 2x Titan X @1,4 at stock voltage (soon to be replaced), Ram: 32 gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 Cl 9, SSD: 2x 850 Pro 1 Tb in Raid 0, 2x Samsung 840 Evo 1 tb raid 1,, PSU: Corsair HXi Series 1000W 80+ Platinum, Case: H440. Soon to be watercooled again, maybe, probably, the Titans are too loud.

no one likes Google....as you sit there using their services, browser, or other product

It is almost forced upon us. They do supply the best internet services... Gmail, Youtube, Drive etc. We don't like all the info they have on each and every one of us. And then they complain about the NSA they basically have more stolen knowledge of every one then the NSA... Somethings up with them...

Many hates Microsoft but use it anyway. The content you want is there. I have loved Google but reason event have relieved its ugly side.

Good choice, I love my Nexus 5.

But the Nexus 5 here is pretty over priced...like $489 for the 16GB one :/

people seem to complain about the battery life and camera although imo camera isn't overly important but battery life on the other hand...

Im used to charging my phone everyday...so I don't think that it will bother me...also,I bring my charger with me anywhere I go. Also, about the camera, if you really want HD pictures, i'd use an ACTUAL camera. 8MP on a phone is enough lol xD

yeh im with you on that about the camera. If you are coming from something like an iphone than the battery will be decent to you. Kinda like my htc one people complain about its battery but i think its killer. Each to their own i guess :)

Nexus 5 is a good phone but the only issue I have is that the loudspeaker is not very loud and headphone doesn't supply enough power. 

Ohhhh,i see...the loud speaker may be a problem..hmm....as for the headphone...im just an average user when it comes to phones so...i just use standard good quality earphones when im listening to music.
