So, I finally received my parcel booking confirmation 
Cost $59 (R600) to ship the device, screen protector, wireless charger, a Nexus 7 case and Galaxy S4 case. Cheaper than my last bundle, oddly enough.
Hopefully this means that I receive my order early next week...

Same here
But I don't have a tracking number. In your experience, do you ask for a tracking number or do they mail you with one without you asking?

Haven't ever asked, nor have I ever been mailed one. Suppose this is why my previous packaged pretty much appeared on my doorstep...
I'll definitely mail Gary to find out.

Hi Guys,
Can somebody who already bought the phone advise what is the best and cheapest way to buy nexus 5?
Please excuse my ignorance. I never bought anything from overseas.

I'm getting good standby time and better voice quality after forcing my N5 to only use WCDMA on CellC. No 2G<-->3G band hopping and no LTE searching. Was easy enough to do via the hidden testing menu accessible via *#*#4636#*#*.
Go to Phone Information and select WCDMA from the "preferred network type" options.
I would expect it to return to the default value after a power cycle. If I ever turn the phone off I will know for sure.

You perhaps know how my pc can see the N5 as a storage device ? I am trying online guides but just no luck, so frustrating !

No. I haven't tried plugging it into a PC yet. But, as I understand it, the N5 cannot be used as a normal mass storage device. Plugging it into a PC connects it as an MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) device. To make this work an MTP driver must be installed.
To get the driver you will likely have to download the latest Android SDK.

Cape Union Mart. Costs around R50.
Yeah, the Android SDK is the better way to go.
IVTEC- are you running Windows? It seems odd that the MTP driver was not installed as soon as you plugged your device into the PC.
