I don't think it would help. People that would buy them for the prizes already are buying them. I've bought 5. My sister bought 2. My friend bought 5. Another bought 5. Another bought 5. Another bought 2. Another bought 34(not a typo). I really doubt it will change as the people I know don't go for the n7, they buy for the gift cards. As there is a low chance of actually winning a device. And I don't think the average Joe cares for a nexus device

Nema na cemu.;) Then I would check online stores in Austria or Germany when N5 will be available. But it will cost a little more than in Play store - if Im correct, N4 was about 80 - 100 EUR pricier.

As far as I know, Borderlinx has two options:

1. They give you UK address, you order to that address and when they receive item on that UK address, they will forward to your country. This is cheaper choice. It is possible to access UK Play store with UK VPN, but as far as I know, it wont accept non-UK credit card.

2. Borderlinx buy item for you, you pay them price for an item and shipping costs. I guess this should work, but this option is pricier.

Nexus 5 to be priced at $399, Nexus 4 LTE model in tow

15 October, 2013 | Comments (3) | Post your comment

The Google Nexus 5 has already appeared in several leaked images and the recent appearance in a hands-on video has left nothing to our imagination. Now, the pricing details of the upcoming Google Nexus smartphone have made its way to the rumorland.

According to a report from AndroidGeeks, the Google Nexus 5 will be launched in 16GB and 32 GB models. The base model is said to carry a price tag of $399, while the larger-storage option will cost you $499.

If the rumors are to be trusted, Google will also introduce an LTE model of the Nexus 4 and the new variant will allegedly cost you $299 for the 16GB model and $349 for the 32GB version.

Meanwhile, the Google Nexus 5 is expected to sport a 5-inch full HD display and feature a quad-core Snapdragon 800 SoC, 2 GB of RAM, 8 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization and Android 4.4 KitKat.

The Google Nexus along with the latest Android version is expected to be unveiled later this month. However, there are no official confirmations at the moment.

[Nexus 5 General] A.VOID:
I hope that cost isn't correct.

I'm skeptical that there is a $100 difference between the 16 and 32 if there isn't a battery bump like previous rumor/ leaks suggested.
[Nexus 5 General] hello00:

[Nexus 5 General] Ohgami_Ichiro:
I call foul on this one. Specifically the N4 LTE part. There has been no FCC testing on the N4 LTE in question. It would have made it through well before the govt shutdown. Plus is LG still making new Optimus Gs? I don't know this seems very fishy to me.

The new N4 LTE would have to be a new revision of the old Optimus G with more than just Band 4 LTE on board. This would be costly if LG isn't making the device it is based off of anymore.
[Nexus 5 General] Aerys:
Gimme some kitkat Google.
[Nexus 5 General] Walter21026:
A majority of sources are saying no nexus 5 till Oct 31st at the earliest now. But no later than early November. These reports are coming out this morning. Kit Kat might roll out soon though.
[Nexus 5 General] lolcopter:
doesn't make a lot of sense to delay kitkat until after halloween
[Nexus 5 General] mattdm:
I believe the government shutdown is delaying the launch indefinitely. If it didn't pass FCC certification before the shutdown began, there's nothing Google can do until the shutdown is ended and FCC certification is completed.
[Nexus 5 General] jayr04:
So now it's Obama's fault lol
[Nexus 5 General] davwman:
Isn't it?
[Nexus 5 General] lolcopter:
lol no
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
Phones are released nationally. The government doesn't need to certify it to be released in other countries and if they did have to certify it her it would just be delayed in the U.S. I think it wasn't released because they didn't have enough time to advertise it yet. They'll probably announce it at least a couple days to a week before they start selling it. As of now most rumors say October 31 or first week of November. But again they're only rumors.
[Nexus 5 General] msponsler:
Doubtful on the Nexus 4 relaunch. No refresh of the Nexus 4 has gone through the FCC for recertification.

And considering this rumor is tied to a months old rumor of a refresh launching at last Google I/O...I'd take it with a grain of salt.

With the Moto DVX (low cost Moto X) supposedly launching soon...a refreshed Nexus 4 doesn't make sense.
[Nexus 5 General] mattdm:
No? And what makes you so sure? This situation is unprecedented...the last government shutdown was 17 years ago, and the tech world as it is today didn't exist. The shutdown may very well be delaying the launch.

The most credible rumors said the 15th, which would make sense. Announce on the 15th, ship two weeks later, just in time for halloween. It would tie in nicely with the whole kitkat thing.

Still, you're right: they could released everywhere but the US. I'll be really surprised if that happens though.
[Nexus 5 General] lolcopter:
while it is certainly possible, it's a bit presumptuous to assume the gov shutdown is holding up the release when we have yet to hear anything OFFICIAL

for all we know google could just be holding off a couple more weeks.

all i know, is they need to hurry up! THIS MONEY IS BURNING A NEXUS-SIZED HOLE IN MY POCKET :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] cgi:
Unless the government needs to certify advertising too, that doen't make any sense. Advertising is purely in the power of google.

Much more like is, they didn't release it, because it isn't finished yet.

[Nexus 5 General] jayr04:
So it will be launched and released on the 31st?
[Nexus 5 General] lolcopter:
nobody knows as it's all rumors, but release on or before halloween makes a ton of sense given the kitkat candy bar tie-in

seems like the perfect marketing opportunity for that partnership

[Nexus 5 General] je55ter:
My wife won the Nexus 7 on her first try. Still have to wait another month at least for them to ship it to us, though.

Don't worry about having a winning code in the rest of your kitkats. It doesn't work like that. If you read the rules to the contest, you'll see that prizes aren't assigned to individual codes. Rather, the contest servers randomly pick a specific day and time to release a winner, and the first person to enter a valid code after that point in time wins the prize. This is why so many people report winning on their first try.

So if you try entering a code and you don't win anything, you're probably best off waiting a while before entering the next one.

[Nexus 5 General] Johmama:
But those lines don't exist in the source code for android.com/kitkat/...

EDIT:

Ok, after investigating further into the source code, I found this in their CSS sheet:

.comingsoon-launched{
display: none;
}

.comingsoon-countdown{
display: none;
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
font-weight: 400;
font-size: 17px;
color: #555555;
}

.comingsoon-visible{
display: block !important;
}

There's at least a reference to those elements.

EDIT2:

Going even further, I found this on a javascript page

{var a=Wa([COLOR="Red"]"comingsoon-launched"[/COLOR]),b=Wa([COLOR="red"]"comingsoon-countdown"[/COLOR]);if(0<a.length){var c=a[0].getAttribute("data-date").replace(/[^0-9]/g,""),d=a[0].getAttribute("data-time").replace(/[^0-9]/g,""),f=new Date,e=f.getUTCMonth()+1,g=f.getUTCDate(),h=f.getUTCHours(),m=f.getUTCMinutes(),f=""+f.getUTCFullYear(),f=f+(10>e?"0"+e:e)+(10>g?"0"+g:g),f=f+(10>h?"0"+h:h),f=f+(10>m?"0"+m:m);(c=1*f>=1*(c+d))&&ma(a,function(a){G(a,[COLOR="red"]"comingsoon-visible"[/COLOR])});c||ma(b,function(a){G(a,[COLOR="Red"]"comingsoon-visible"[/COLOR])})}}

Now, as some people have pointed out, this probably refers to the KitKat contest/promo and not the release of KitKat or the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] fkloznica:
Lets make some voting poll and see what will the results be ? :) my money will be on 23 October :)
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Why do people think that Google will secretly announce the N5 and Kit-Kat. Do you think there will be some Google employee's stored away in a private bunker and one day soon will cut into all TV stations like an emergency broadcast to tell people about the N5 and Kit-Kat and then just put it up for sale in the Play Store and sign off.

They obviously want to create some buzz around it and should want to release it like every other major release they do. In a presentation to the press. I really do think Google would like general public to know about their new OS and device and not just the geeks who check the Play Store everyday hoping something secretly shows up.

Why go through the trouble of naming the update after an actual candy bar if you are not going to make a big deal out of it. I am sure we will know when Google is ready to announce their new OS or Kit-Kat, and if it sneaks up on us out of no where, then maybe they need to take some pointers from Apple and Samsung about creating buzz because the only people buzzing right now are XDA Geeks.....Heck, I bet the majority of people buying Kit-Kat bars in the store with the Android promo on it don't even know that Kit-Kat will be the name of Androids next OS.

[Nexus 5 General] AndreaCristiano:
From what I am seeing it has to be either the 18 or 28th. Maybe the announcement on the 18 while the release on the 28th?
[Nexus 5 General] mattyboyo:
Google are now in the bad position that if they drum up hype about a new android version they will make more people aware of it. That means that more people will moan that they don't have the latest version.

If apple shout about a new ios version, the chances are that an iPhone in contract will get it within days of release. With android it will be months, if ever, unless you have a nexus device. But then they don't need to shout about it, we would find out.
[Nexus 5 General] wvcadle:
That's where we disagree. The Nexus line is intended to be put into as many hands as possible. It's direct competitors are the Galaxy S series and the iPhone.

Think about it. Why did Google build android and offer it for free? Was it to limit it to a niche market? No. It was for world dominance, nothing less! :) I know that was stretching it, but seriously. They sell the Nexus at a reduced price because they rely on people joining (or staying within) the Android ecosystem. They only recoup the cost of selling the Nexus at cost or below, by having tens of thousands of people buying things from the Play store. This is common knowledge.

Believe me, they want it to be the #1 phone in the world. All of the commercials are further evidence of this.

Edit: And to accomplish this, they need to sell this phone during the entire shopping season.
[Nexus 5 General] hikarugo:
People should stop thinking that the Nexus line is created strictly for devs or android geeks. Nexus itself is created by Google as a way to access Google apps. Nexus doesn't really run pure aosp android as it's preinstalled with gapps and doesn't have aosp browser, calendar, etc as Google replaces them with their own apps.

Nexus is for the mainstream too actually. It's not bloated with gimmicks and that's what actually a usable software. I hate the fact that people think that android phones with bloatwares are phones for the mainstream
[Nexus 5 General] wvcadle:
+1

But I'd go even further to state that it was never created with the idea in mind to create a toy for devs or geeks. It's always about getting it out to the masses in order to make money. Google creating Android and giving it away for free was solely to get as much of the world using it, and used to it as possible with one sole purpose in mind... as you said... making money via the Play store.
[Nexus 5 General] AndreaCristiano:
PS it seems more and more likely that the release will be on the 28th android police is showing play store 4.4 if anyone is interested
[Nexus 5 General] ctowne:
Announcement 28th Oct for the N5 because n4 announcement was Oct 29. Therefore common knowledge proceeds to tell us that the Nexus 4 release was Nov 13th (Tuesday) so Nexus 5 release will be Tuesday Nov 12th.
