Then get a contract. The N4 was released mid-November and you somehow expect them to release the next one not even a year passed? The sense of entitlement for a not-even-officially-announced phone is ludicrous. "Delayed indefinitely" - what a joke.

What I was thinking exactly. Yeah, we all want the phone to be released really bad. But everyone is acting like it was already given a release date and then delayed >__>

Last year the news of the nexus event went out a week before the 29th which was when the event was held. And the phone launched on the 13th in the US. This year there is absolutely no concrete evidence to show that there will be some sort of launch event. All I want is for Google is to stop with this drip feed leaks and just announce a date for the unveiling coz these leaks are just ruining the announcement of the phone as we already know most things in terms of hardware.

+1000 this. I really hope they will do this... if it means they will avoid limbo states, stock shortages, etc, let them release when they are TRULY ready, even if it means December. I'd rather have a healthy December launch (with devices on Amazon and Best Buy hopefully) than last year's fiasco (which for most people ment they got the phone *after* Christmas, with huge frustration and uncertainty to boot).

If Nexus 5 will be sold out in 15 min on release and I don't get it then i will buy LG g2, i'm not waiting until christmas to get a second chance. The thing is i'm not that desperate to get N5 there are other enticing options on the table. If Google undersupply first batch of phones they will lose on potential buyers who will spend their money else where. I don't think they want that.

242 pages later and I can bet you someone from Google in the Android/Nexus department is cracking up over all this. Don't get me wrong, I'm getting this device also but wow this thread has amassed to something big. And watch it die when the phone is released. That being said, I believe they are going to wait for Nokia and Apple to go first.

I hope, but I'm not that sure...

Where do you base your confidence?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fracama87:
well but the rumours I've read was saying before the end of October.

There's been a lot of date but just because blogs need something to talking about...

And we following and believe in that because we need.

We could take as reference the dates of last year... If I'll be released later than last year it will be a "delay".

Obviously in this time lg is doing a lot of Nexus 5 (as last year...)

Will be they enough? Nobody can say, it depends from agreement between lg and Google (i think lg want to produce more g2 and less n5... Lg will be happy if n5 go out of stock) from prevision of sells, if the production is started following the plan, if they have had some problems... Then the logistics problems... I could continue... and on the other hand depends from how many people want it: more equal or less than last year?

Google (and lg) has made his counts making choices for what is the best for them not for us!

In my opinion will be better than last year but surely will be out of stock soon... Just I hope without the "limbo time"!

We want Paradise :D :D :D

Just my two cents as usually.

You can be sure than Google and lg know how many n5 are producing every day, following a production plan.

They also know the dates of announcement and release obviously... They could change just in case of some problems, but probably won't!

We're waiting not them. ;)

Ps. I'll buy N5 if I'll find the money, but I won't not let my gnex for any other phone...

Actually, I think their problem in the past was announcing based on anticipated stocking levels. This time, I wager they're waiting until they actually have the inventory in stock before announcing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoRd_LyKoS:
Yes...maybe...

I can not askt them to release it, because it is theirs...But I want this smartphone because my Xperia Neo is quite awful now...But I am getting quite tired of them making jokes and not knowing if it is gona be released this week, next or never....And I want it and want to know when it is release so I can buy it before the stock runs out...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverramsrt:
Google≠Burger king... You can't have it your way!

Unfortunately, most people who want the N5 won't be able to get one til after new-years.

I'll keep my N4 til it "breaks"!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fracama87:
You mean the limbo or the out of stock problem?

About the limbo I don't know what caused it last year but I think they've fixed...

About the out of stock I think they was in late the production (for some problems about the product, so Google fault , or with the production process, so LG fault) ... They need to announce however it because could not do to near to the Christmas, half of November it's really near to the deadline for release it to have firsts review before Christmas shopping...

However i will be pretty surprised if it won't be out of stock at day one, just I think not so soon as last year and with less time to restock...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
I'm basing my confidence on the N7 '13 launch.

As I posted earlier, I think it will launch on multiple retailers. They have been working with Best Buy and Amazon with their last 3 product launches.

Previous Nexus devices didn't have the overwhelming demand the N4 had. They based the first run off that. It's better for business to limit production rather than make a ton on them that do not sell. Especially if there is a low profit margin. Look at Microsoft and the surface. They lost their ass because they made a ton of them.

I'm sure they don't want a disaster like the N4 launch to happen again. The difference this time is they have the demand data from the N4 and will stock accordingly. I hope...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricecake2000:
Yeah. I am just going to shut my phone and internet off for a week. Hopefully its out by then. Ha
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sordna:
Hmm, good point about the N7, haven't paid close attention to how it launched. So it was never out of stock?

I did pay more attention to the chromecast, and was happy to see it at multiple retailers but it still was sold out everywhere pretty quickly after the launch :-/

To me the logical release date for the Nexus 5 should be October 22nd. The release date for the first Google phone, T-Mobile G1 (aka HTC Dream) was October 22nd 2008. G1 (Nexus 1). Nexus 5 (5 years on) based on G2. Google, don't let Apple steal your day.

Don't know if it was posted already, but it seems that Android 4.4 KITKAT is backwards compatible.

i hope you're right, a 300€ nexus 5 is a must buy, but i don't think the price would be so low. at the usa price you have to add the taxes, european prices usually are tax included, in our case (italy) we should pay aproximately 306€ only with the actual $-€ conversion plus 22% VAT... plus i'm pretty sure we have other taxes to pay, so i don't think we will see it at 300...

"in Europe, let’s pick Germany as an example, the Nexus 4 8GB is available for preorder for €299 while the 16GB version sells for €349. These prices are with 19 percent VAT included, while US prices are without sales tax, as always.

In the UK, a country that uses yet another currency, the Nexus 4 sells for £239 for 8GB, £279 for 16GB version. Both phones are listed as coming soon, but we expect to see them at some point in mid-November."

in november 2012 the €-$ conversione was 0.80455, now it's 0.73104 so we have some advantages compared to last year, but i don't think we will see much difference in final price.

i hope you're right, but i can't get your point. last year we had 1 to 1 conversion in germany that have 3% less vat compared to italy, now € is 8% stronger, so in the best case in italy we should have a 5% lower price compared to last year's price in germany, i can't get why do you think it should be 14% lower.

anyway i think that this discussion should continue in the italian n5 thread since we're focussing only on the italian price, even if i think it will be the same for all the european countries that uses the euro. maybe a mod's opinion could be useful.

FWIW The Verge appears to be under an embargo (look at how they have not posted anything recently except the Google Play leak, which was not a leaker but rather a public source leak). Last year they also were under an embargo when Google had foregone a traditional press event (due to Sandy) where they released a set of videos and reviews only through The Verge.

My thoughts are the Nexus 10 is running behind schedule and the N5/10 final FCC clearances were delayed due to the government shutdown preventing Google from preparing a release.

Keep an eye on The Verge is my best estimate
