Have really enjoyed my Nexus 5 but it's had an awful time with cracked screens. Got a service refurb from Warehouse Stationery (supplier) when it had the proximity sensor issue, then screen cracked and got that replaced by phonesurgeons here in Dunedin.
I rate phonesurgeons highly - but the last replacement involved getting the screen replaced once (hardware fail - glitch / half-screen inverted!), twice (cracked on installation), thrice (dead unit supplied) and fourth screen actually working. Added up to a couple of weeks to save the difference between a $250 replacement and a new $440 unit.
So when I put my phone down on the coffee table, nodded off (4:30am flight that day) and woke up to see the screen had apparently cracked itself while I was asleep ... yeah now I'm thinking hard about replacing the screen again versus new device options.
I do like the Nexus 5 so far, apart from this fragile screen nonsense. Quite like my partner's Moto G for the dual sim (jealousy while travelling). Haven't really noticed the absence of SD slot.
I don't think I want to spend twice that on a Nexus 6! (Based on pricing I see around at present.)
