Nexus 5

Nexus 10
-
Nexus 7 (2014)
-

Although it seemed that the November 3rd availability would be limited to Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 in principle, finally seems that all supported Nexus Android devices can enjoy Lollipop from that date. If you're updating via OTA note that this usually takes a few hours to propagate across all servers and regions.

What happens to the rest?
Some manufacturers, like OnePlus with OnePlus One, have announced future compatibility with Android 5.0 Lollipop. For other cases, however, the unknown continues. In general we can say that any time after the official announcement of Android 5.0 in June Lollipop device may be updated.
For older terminals, always depend on each manufacturer and of course Antique terminal. The more we go into 2013 trickier is that we can make the jump, at least officially, for unsupported devices are often found in various forums tutorials that explain how to update unofficially.
