if they release the new N4 with support for all LTE bands, then i guess its ok???... if they release the current N4 and just enable that single band LTE, then my high hopes for Google are not going to be good and then it just shows Google is milking people like what Apple does...

If rooted you can install a hybrid radio firmware that will work with the latest versions of Android. I tried it, but PCCW doesn't use LTE Band 4, which is the only band supported.

Third party apps will only go so far in syncing contacts properly.

The only thing I facebook for is to get contact photos, which hax sync does.

| Nexus 5 Retail Box Pictured, Existence Of White Variant Uncovered | NextPowerUp
White back version of Nexus 5 leaked. Photos show retail package.  
Another photo leaked showing a black Nexus 5 with what could be an official google case in white.  Finally, Google sent out press invites for an event on October 24. Rumours that it is for the Nexus 5 have been debunked however. Google reps confirmed the event is for new Play store content unveiling, and no new hardware will be shown.
Rumours are that the official Nexus 5 / Kit-Kat unveiling will be October 28.

lol that looks like those non-brand "Android phone" boxes they sell in China. Having the Bluetooth logo as the lead logo is beyond weird

they look just like nokia boxes  ever since they stopped with the pancake box (which looked better imo) and started selling phones in the states again
looks like it would look nice in white (instead of a protective case)

The photos above it show the retail box packaging of what could be a white backed Nexus 5 (not in a case). Please look at the pictures on the retail box carefully.
