Anyone who didn't watch the launch event who wants to go for the early drop (dispatch from tomorrow, a week early), I have the code to get access to it.
So much for budget flagship killer then. That's about 50% up on the 1+3 which was the last full version only one year ago (I got mine in July for £309). £450 puts it outside the reach of a huge swath of their previous market, surely?
My 1+3 has 6Gb RAM and 64Gb storage. Given the 1+5 has prices "from £449", RAM "up to 8Gb" and storage "up to 128Gb" it sounds like that 50% price hike merely gets you a better camera (and a better CPU but thats par for the course without changing price point).

They abandoned the budget line with the OPT - prices have gone up and up since then, in the same way the Nexus 6P is more than the Nexus 6, the 5 and the 4 (4 was crazy stupid pricing, 5 was OK, 6 way too expensive).
3T cost £439 for the 128GB model, so it's 13% more than the phone I bought in January.
Pixel with 128GB is £699, Pixel XL with 128GB is £819

I regretfully fear we have seen the last of the breed with the Nexus 5. I am still wondering what my next phone will be. A 1+ or a Wiley Fox looked favourite, but much less so now. I don't know of anything where I can get a vanilla android device at a fair price any more.

Motorola Moto Gn (whatever the latest number is) - my family have had the 3, 4 and 5 at different stages and they are nice phones, near stock Android and quite cheap.
