I wonder when the Nexus 5 will have the update available
Updated my Nexus 5 a few days ago
It has appeared on my Nexus 10 as well.
Have you guys with Google Hardware updated?
Anything good to report?
I'm still back on whatever the Samsung S3 came out with, very happy, i didn't like the Nexus 5, in fact i hated it.
So i am very reluctant to change... if it ain't broke, don't fix it

nexus 7 2012 updated yesterday - all good so far
Yeah I got something like that first up, but I had rooted mine and messed around with some images earlier. Sideloaded 4.4.4 back in using Nexus root toolkit, was going to sideload 5 , but tried OTA again and it worked. I don't really know what I am doing most of the time with an android. It's good that google provide all the images for their devices, so you can go back if you want to.
I've seen the upgrade image of Android Lollipop for my 2013 Nexus 7 on several places, but didn't download it - I've been waiting for the "totally official" Over-The-Air upgrade. 'cause if I remember correctly, the OTA version doesn't force you to erase everything on your tablet and start from scratch, it's more like a "Windows Upgrade" whereas the download-and-reflash version is more like a "Windows re-install". Am I mistaken? Could I download and flash the already available version without losing my settings and downloaded apps?
I think you are mostly right. I think it is the rooting of the phone that means you lose your settings etc. If already rooted you may be OK, but as I said I am no expert. There are issues with the Nexus 7 and Lollipop, but it seems to be limited to the 2012 version not being powerful enough.
Updated my Nexus 5 last week and today received the OTA 5.0.1, seems OK
looks like its available for the telstra galaxy s5, doing it now.....
false alarm, just a firmware update... still on 4.42

Nothing on my wifes Nexus 5 , like you Hoe I got all excited on the S5
The firmware update fails on my S5 for some reason.
My missus just did the update to 5.0.1 from 4.XX and it stuffed her contacts.
Now the phone no longer assigns names to numbers.
Anyone else experience problems with the Android update, it was to a bog standard Google Nexus 5
I googled the issue and found 10 other problems about 5.0.1, but the missing contact info wasnt one of them
Some 5.0.1 user comments
No idea why she bothered to update.... actually, no idea why Google bothered to update, it worked better before the update.
Welcome to Apple Eco system Android users
EDIT: Looks like it has to do with Account Syncing and where she saved all her phone numbers... (i did tell her 14 months ago)
They never listen when you tell them what to do as they set up a phone..... oh well
