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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

I'm excited

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
