Monte Video or some place out where nothing matters will likely get it first.

First and foremost, congrats on the new job.
I work in IT too, and IMO, android is definitely the platform best fit for use by tech heads. The best way to get the android experience out of your device is just to tinker with it and figure things out. In fact, its open source, so Google actually WANTS you to. You can keep it simple by rooting your device, or you can get as complex as making commits to github. The biggest difference in everyday use, to me, is the ability to change launchers. The most popular ones (Nova, Apex, ADW) take after the stock look with the bonus of customization, but there are a lot of options for you to use to tailor your device to your liking. here's a screenshot of my nexus, which is probably wayyyy different from your friends one.
You'll find that the Play Store has all the same major apps as the App Store with subtle differences in theming and capabilities, but your Dropbox, Twitter, etc will all be there in addition to a plethora of other third party options that you can use to your liking. Like
carver
said, you can change your keyboard too. since you work in IT, and may have a use for it, I recommend Hacker's Keyboard which is a customizable full QWERTY, great for typing out C:\ directories on the go (and it has directional arrows, which are useful for posting on #NT ).
If your SIM is more than a year old, you probably gotta get a new one. But other than that, you're good to go. Just mess with stuff, check out this thread, and jump into it. Id recommend waiting for a month or so before going on to root your phone and all that, just so in case you hate it you don't have to go through the gruelling process of unrooting. Enjoy!
You got family or something here fam? I've lived in MN my entire life and I didn't even know Montevideo, MN was a real place until now

I hit up google and was like "why is this N talking about Uruguay?!"

No word, I would imagine its going to be the same price though. It says it should be available starting 2/4 though.
here's the article
[h1]Red Nexus 5 appears slated for Feb. 4[/h1]
By Phil Nickinson | Jan 30 2014 | 1:44 pm | 67 COMMENTS
It looks like the red Nexus 5 may hit Google Play on Feb. 4, according to this week's internal Sprint Playbook.
The headline pretty much says it all — "2/4/14: Google Nexus 5 in red available in Google play stores." Still nothing official, of course, and things have changed before. But we did recently see the red Nexus 5 out of the box, So stay tuned.
So, who's buying?

Is there an app - radio station app that I can put in "2pac or Tupac" and get just HIS songs? I hate how Pandora throws in similar artist, I understand that's the bases of the app, to find new - similar artist or songs, but I just want "that" artist, not clone rejects.

Google Music subscription would do the trick as well. I grabbed it when they were doing the initial low price last year and I have really liked it. Don't even really bother with other music streaming apps
Just picked up a Nexus 7 16GB for $150+tax from Staples. 
Had them price match microcenter and then add a $30 coupon on top of it. Seems like they caught on though 
Anyone have any recommendation on ROMs or kernels to use? I'm on PA on my Nexus 4 and am willing to try something new, but PA is what I'm thinking for now.

Speaking of which. Is there a way to keep Google Music from censoring your songs? This happens randomly throughout different albums.. sometimes F**k is F**k and sometimes F**k is completely blanked. Odd. Thoughs?

Never experienced that with Google music. Is it with your personal music?

Are we talking about the playback or the actual titles? Sorry I never had this problem, sounds strange to me.

Wait, they have edited your personal you uploaded? I have never seen or heard of anyone with this issue before. I thought you meant you were listening to a song/album from Google. I was going to say that you just picked a clean version instead of the explicit one.

So your songs are actually edited or is it just the text of the song edited?
