pretty surprised they don't want to announce it next week

My best guess is they're afraid of generating too much anticipation because their initial supply won't meet the demand. I've heard the Nexus 4 launch last year was ridiculous due to low supply.

dont companies like Nintendo artificially limit shipments to create demand and thus hype?

Has the released date been announced yet? It was suppose to be announced today.

kwy 10-24-2013 06:16 PM

It wasn't supposed to be announced today, it was rumoured to be announced today. In any case, every news source I've looked at has guessed that it will be announced around the end of the month.

Nexus 5 release date rumours: Google Play on October 31st, Canadian carriers on November 8th

I'm guessing we can't buy from the US Play store unless we have a US credit card, US shipping address, and US IP address...

Well if you're willing to update your credit card address to a US one, ship the phone to a US address, and vpn your internet connection then I'm sure you can order one.

Or if you have a friend or relative living in the states that would work too.

OR just wait.... :mindfuck:

Another Nexus 5 press image arrives online | MobileSyrup.com

Latest rumour is a Oct 31 announcement and Nov 1 release date. Also new photos leaked of the white model.

SkinnyPupp 10-27-2013 06:35 PM

White looks nice but I wonder if it will get all grubby easily

Also I don't like having the power button on the side like that, nor the headphone port on the top

Mr.HappySilp 10-27-2013 08:20 PM

Doesn't most phones have the power on the side and headphone jack on the top?

!Yaminashi 10-27-2013 08:50 PM

Yeah I dont get what's with manufacturers and the top of the phone headphone jack. It makes more sense for it to be on the bottom IMO

Getting a pre-paid US credit card and shipping to ship happens, etc might be easier.

Korean phones do this more often it seems. All my HTC phones and iphone and WinMo phones going back 10 years have had it on the top. It's not as big a deal as the headphone port, but I don't like it. It is too easy to hit the volume button on the other side when trying to press the power button.

Ive heard that ppl are saying those pics are just renders and not photos because the alignment of the camera from the side and back pic don't match.

BrRsn 10-27-2013 10:15 PM

I'm excited :D

Maybe it's my OCD but I hate when phones have a camera that's off center lol

I hate google sometimes, always try to keep new hardware releases on the DL

Good luck trying to get in on the first batch... :badpokerface:

BrRsn 10-28-2013 07:12 AM

I'm hoping it'll be easier to get one on the american launch date

if not, I'll try again when it releases in canadaland

Cassijon 10-28-2013 07:26 AM

hi :)

Mr.HappySilp 10-28-2013 07:47 AM

Sigh should have waited for the Nexus 5 instead of getting a S4 2 weeks ago......
