1) that Solavei ad is crap. Solavei doesn't even have T-mobile LTE. Here's the underlying link for latest "11AM PDT" rumor:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/31/the-nexus-5-and-kitkat-launch-today-october-31st/

2) Google is playing us. Tweets on Sunday night, rumors all week, then today "8am PDT", no wait it's "11 am PDT"... What's next -- "midnight PDT"? :rolleyes:

At the Google Nexus office right now:
[Nexus 5 General] TiltedAz:
Right! :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] t0ph0id:
Read your thread title, YOU said release date. It hasn't been released.

Anyway, let's hope for today.
[Nexus 5 General] uberNoobZA:
Ok... I'll bite...

Now I'm 'just saying', but I don't seem to see anywhere in your original post that your EE rep said they were getting shipped to suppliers on the 28th.

Exclamation Nexus 5 - Release date confirmed as 28th October by EE representitive!!!

Just been on chat with EE for the second time this week. They just confirmed that they will be carrying the nexus 5 from the 28th of this month. They also confirmed that it will be available on both LTE and standard 3G plans here in the UK, they will also be offering the phone on pay as you go contracts at a starting price of £230 for 16GB and £250 for 32GB. I know its not much info but it is confirmed which is nice. Should be able to get hands on with this phone very soon!

"They just confirmed that they will be carrying the nexus 5 from the 28th of this month"

Just saying...

AVAILABLE NOW
[Nexus 5 General] uberNoobZA:
Is it the 28th already? Damn time flies......:silly:

Ordered and now the wait begins... Which is worse... not knowing when, or ordering and then having to wait ?
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Came round so quickly.

and waiting after ordering is worse. Torture already.
[Nexus 5 General] The Gingerbread Man:
So from reading around a few sites today I don't think ee are actually stocking it, I even asked in their branch in my city. Is anyone able to tell me they have managed to get this phone on ee?
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
I bought it direct from google
[Nexus 5 General] the1onewolf:

[Nexus 5 General] Maurice5813:
But Really, Google is up to something, don't know what! It just doesn't seem that the Creators/Owners of Android couldn't keep one of there flagships a complete secret. I mean, of course FCC leaks every smartphone, but for the to be Multiple videos, tons of UI screens, and all kinds of rumors just doesn't seem accurate, to me a least. I mean, for them even to make petty mistakes such as these, even a Google worker using what looks like a prototype, in its OWN release announcement video?
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Your right, I was astounded by how many times this phone has been leaked. I agree something fishy must be going on. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 General] Maurice5813:
Yeah, what really hit home on my suspensions was those 2 latest leaked videos, with the guy doing a 8 minute review on the nexus 5 and it changes, its been removed but here's the article.

http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/google-nexus-5-video

It seems this is the same guy who took the pictures of the MMS and phone.apk UI. But, really you have to think how it would get leaked. I mean really, only a limited amount of workers actually get to test the nexus devices, let alone know about them. So wouldn't Google have gotten to the bottom of these leaks about a month ago?
[Nexus 5 General] gee one:
The stock GOOG closed over $1,000 today... I wonder if that is related to their plot?

It closed at 1011.41, which if you convert from binary and subtract the integer from the decimal, you'll get 30, but then subtract 2 since we converted to binary, et voila! 28!
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Yes, it was that video and the service manual leak that really threw me. I hope that google are planning something awesome, like a sudden surprise but I doubt if thats likely or not. I guess we can agree something unusual is happening for sure.
[Nexus 5 General] Maurice5813:
Yeah, and with 4.4 being such a major update, why would the only visible features be a few changes to a hand full of apps? But I'm live streaming the Google I/O so I guess I'll be sitting there watching:laugh: I will hope Google surprises us! Or the Nexus 5 , to me, will just be another old smartphone I found out about way too soon:laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Okay, you opened the thread , end of story. But I wonder why you thought of replying. Now come up with another fancy reply. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] ryude:
You forgot to carry the 1.
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
I don't need to come up with anything fancy. I just called a taxi cab company and asked them if they knew the release date of the Nexus 5. He reached out to his drivers and asked if they had any Google employee's in their cars. 1 responded yes and he asked if he knew the release date.

The Google employee said he did not but his son just turned 28......Wowzer, was that a hidden clue!
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Pathetic... and this is not for your reply.
[Nexus 5 General] mito8485:
Nope, his reply was pretty pathetic!
[Nexus 5 General] smartymcfly:
Check forum rule 2.3. http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?a=81
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
So are you saying my rumor isn't as true or trust worthy as every other unofficial rumor?

If it comes out on the 28th my source will be just as legit. If it does not come out on the 28th then my source was just as bad as everyone else's. At least I didn't start a new thread for my story.
[Nexus 5 General] smartymcfly:
All I said was to reread the rules. I didn't say anything else.
[Nexus 5 General] Gorjira:
I agree here 100%. The one leak that I do not think was orchestrated by Google was the Retail Box leak. All around the picture was blurred almost as a precaution... All of the other leaks were booted-up devices and into the About Phone menu, but not the Retail Box one? I find that kind of odd. The Retail Box could have been the best opportunity to disclose as much as possible about 4.4. Of course it could've been an empty box...
[Nexus 5 General] Maurice5813:
yes, also what I recently discovered is that all of the "Leaked" Nexus 5 have only half of the "Nexus" on the back of the phone, also followed by small logos? Weird, but honestly, the leaked N5 may be fake, a fake chinese phone,I'm so confused:confused:

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------

hes not doing either dude:laugh: If your saying he's not legit, then this whole nexus 5 forum should be gone, non of this stuff is official:laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] the1onewolf:
or it's a prototype.
[Nexus 5 General] Maurice5813:
yeah, it so many possibilities :faceplam: I am getting a headache. Just really hoping it is release next week:D
[Nexus 5 General] mito8485:
Feed the troll please. You can see nexus logo clear as day

Sorry I didn't mean to quote you
[Nexus 5 General] thisisdan26:
I've been following these forums and other for the past couple of weeks. I highly doubt that the N5 is not real. Not only have week seen the packaging leaked today, but I just don't see Google doing this. Yes it generates chatter and interest, but if Google knows anything about people and their phones, they want them now now now! So, if they just come and say, "Foooooled you!!" I think they would piss a lot of people off in a completely intentional and blatantly obvious marketing attention grab.

Also, how would you explain the FCC filings and pics?
[Nexus 5 General] NinjaKenZen:
I don't actually think people believe it's not real. It's not a matter of does it exist, it's more so when will it be available.

The majority of the leaks have no doubt been somewhat intentional. It has produced hype and interest. The masses have everything now, with the exception of one crucial element to back everything up: the official announcement from Google. That and most importantly, having the Nexus 5 in their hands.
[Nexus 5 General] intekmdma:
When you mean you've been following these forums for a couple of weeks, do you mean the N5 forums? b/c XDA just opened these sub-categories
[Nexus 5 General] -A-P-M-:
Not a chance, N5 is real, it passed FCC and it will be released soon.

Nexus 5 is most leaked Android phone? Nexus 4 was reviewed with tons of photos and videos a few weeks before official launch.

Paul O'Brien is very credible and he wrote on Twitter 1st November, which is related to N5. So far I havent seen any false information from him.

https://mobile.twitter.com/PaulOBrien/status/387153467347054592?
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
What your saying isn't a rumor. Its something completely false that you've invented in your head. Like I said earlier, im only trying to post some information for people who want it, people who are actually excited about the release. As has been said by myself and other members, if you dont like this simply don't click on this thread and don't read.

In other news it would appear that Vodafone agree that they will be carrying a new phone from LG on the 28th but they wouldn't confirm to me that it was the Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] lozfromcorby:
We don't really get that ripped off. US prices never include tax. So convert then add 20%. Nexus 4 was almost spot on converted with tax.

I think it will be 269.00 on release.
[Nexus 5 General] ODAWGY:
dwasnal shall

The video is back on Youtube i found it but i can't post links because i new round here!
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
I guessed the price was about right. Seems the nexus 5 should be nice and cheap here in the uk.
[Nexus 5 General] Mister-C:
The LTE Nexus 7 is $349 on the US Play Store, £300 on the UK store, so its looking like £300 for the Nexus 5 unfortunately...
[Nexus 5 General] lozfromcorby:
Oh no...guess they're started playing the rip off game after all. Fingers crossed they don't.
[Nexus 5 General] EdZ:
£300 a rip-off? Have you looked at what an unsubsidised smartphone has costed over the last half a decade?
[Nexus 5 General] thisisdan26:
As I said...these forums and OTHER forums too.
[Nexus 5 General] theoneofgod:
Just because EE are selling the Nexus 5 at a certain date, doesn't mean that's when Google will be selling it.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Nope, I agree with you entirely, I'm simply interested as to how soon I can get this device in my hands. I presume its possible that if EE are selling on the 28th it may be announced even sooner.
[Nexus 5 General] prawnguevara:
From my experience sales reps from phone companies know far less about phones than your average guy on the internet.
[Nexus 5 General] Johmama:
Agreed.

And far FAR less than your average XDA user. Hell, walk into a store and talk to a CSR about activating your Nexus 4 on their LTE network (assuming they have Band IV). First thing they'll do is ask for your IMEI, tell you that it's not in their system as LTE-capable, and encourage you to buy a SGS4 because it's super fast and awesome, you can't live without LTE, and "My cousin just got one and says he never looked back!". At the end of the day, those CSR's are just untrained salesmen put there to sell you things. 95% of their training is in customer service, not in the technical side.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
I can imagine it is like that in some places but the fact that they guy understood what I was on about and talked to me, asking if I had seen the leaks probably means that he did know what he was on about.
[Nexus 5 General] EdZ:
Or alternately, that he was relying on same leaks & rumours to produce the '28th October' date. I can't imagine Google telling random mobile operators about their release plans until the devices actually start shipping to distributors and authorising them to pass that information down to random customer service reps.
[Nexus 5 General] 2Pints:
Ive been looking for a new phone for a while, and hopefully the nexus 5 will fit the bill.

As for networks and shops/stores anything they say needs to be taken with a large pinch of salt, EE are probably one of the more expensive networks in the UK at the moment.

Once you've paid for the phone, EE have a 4G sim only deal for £31 per month ( over 12 months minimum term) which gives you unlimited calls+texts and 3GB of data, which is approximately US$50

Three UK also have a sim only deal £15 per month (12 months minimum term) with 2,000 minutes, 2,000 texts, and truly unlimited all you can eat data with as much tethering as you want, this is on a 3G network, but customers will be upgraded to 4G LTE for no extra cost in December the US cost would roughly be $24 per month
[Nexus 5 General] MaxRabbit:
So what is the key to get AT&T to approve LTE for your device?
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Or, seeing as EE is the largest provider in the UK he is telling me when they are getting the nexus 5. No need to be so cynical about things, this couppled with the fact that at least 5 different reps all confirmed that a new LG phone is being released on the 28th and that two of those reps went on to confirm it was the nexus make its a relatively reliable source. For sure though I agree it could still be wrong.
[Nexus 5 General] pham818:
UK prices are fake. thats how google makes money. sell the phone for $350 usd, and also sell the phone for £350, knowing that £ is worth more than usd.
[Nexus 5 General] inaudibly:
Just wandering, can you link me to the live chat please? My contact has come to an end and would love to see what kind of contracts the nexus 5 will have
[Nexus 5 General] om22:
I live in germany so i even have to pay 350€ -.- but everyone does this - sell things for the same price and don't calculate it right.
[Nexus 5 General] Johmama:
It depends. For the Nexus 4 specifically, follow all the steps posted here. If they keep getting hung up on the IMEI, there are ways around it. Now, it is illegal, and thus against XDA rules to discuss, to generate or provide a false IMEI. All I can say is that every device has one. Mine, yours, and the display ones at the store.
[Nexus 5 General] kthejoker20:
*cough*
[Nexus 5 General] MaxRabbit:
You guys are the best ;) thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] ehcool:
Too me it seems pretty logical in terms of date the 28th or the 31st are are best options atm but it really all comes down to what google do tomorrow at their event but in terms of price from the play store leak we found out that it will start at $349 and as far as i know that was the price of 16gb N4 and that was £249 so i can only assume that it will be the same.
[Nexus 5 General] tulongest:
I just hope they don't release it on Google Play on the 28th. I got midterms :(
[Nexus 5 General] Nexii:
I find this fishy. So Google is finally breaking tradition of offering it on Google Play,and giving it to carriers? Doesn't add up.

---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 AM ----------

LULZ! I just finished all my mid-terms. :cool:
[Nexus 5 General] incredulous:
I agree, I had to get my Galaxy Nexus through a dealer namely dialaphone.co.uk. I got a very good deal but could of been better straight through Vodafone UK.

My Nexus One however was purchased directly through Vodafone, long before we had the play store when you had to get obscure high end devices from the likes of Expansys and Clove.

I already plan on leaving Vodafone at the end of the year. After 4 years of terrible customer service I am taking the plunge and going over to 4GEE so let's hope they really will be stocking the Nexus 5 (Nexu5 anybody?).

I don't think its unreasonable to expect Google to begin giving devices to carriers again, it opens them up a lot more to the market. Mr Joe Public is more likely to pick up a Galaxy S4 or and iPhone 5 when he sees it in EE or Phones 4 U then thinking of seeing what's on Google's play store.

UPDATE: Just spoke to Matthew at EE and he says they have had no information about any new devices from Google or LG being launched. He did say however normally they are under strict guidelines for new devices and don't normally hear about them until 2 or 3 days before they start selling them with the first batches going out effectively as they come in off the delivery lorry.
[Nexus 5 General] ryude:
It's so fun to hear English words like lorry lol
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
What would be the correct American terminology? Truck? :p
[Nexus 5 General] ryude:
Yea, most would say truck :) I say UPS, some others say FedEx.
[Nexus 5 General] hotleadsingerguy:
Actually 'lorry' is British vernacular for an 18-wheeler. It's not a delivery truck, necessarily, as much as a transportation truck.
[Nexus 5 General] Kid_droid:
£350 it's about that price I guess. The Americans still need to have tax added to their prices and I must say we do not struggle as much to go sim free aswell. I love my nexus 4. But my 8gb insurance replacement just doesn't do it for me. 16gb or 32gb would do and LTE added bonus I guess.

I'm going to miss some stable Roms for a while so might not rush to sell my nexus 4 lol.
[Nexus 5 General] outZider:
I think we'd still say truck. We could also call it a semi, but in that sentence, we'd say "comes off the truck".
[Nexus 5 General] EdZ:
For something Transit-sized (e.g. UPS or FEDEX delivery vehicle), that'd be a van.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Google offered the Nexus 4 on carriers in the UK as well as on google play ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Try digging a little deeper, It took me several different reps and persistent pressure to get anything out of them. Either way it seems likely that it will be the 28th as a release date, makes sense with it being a Monday.
[Nexus 5 General] LoRd_LyKoS:
I hope so..because my Xperia Neo is getting me nervous and I need a neu phone...and they are making me get tired of waiting and leaked information and rumours...jejeje
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Im in the same boat as you, both the power and home button on my galaxy s2 have died making it incredibly awkward to use, I just wish google would hurry up and release it otherwise I may be forced in to going for the LG G2 or S4 :(
[Nexus 5 General] ryude:
Yeah. I actually used to work in shipping/receiving for a couple years. We got big shipments so it came freight, so I got in the habit of calling them that.
[Nexus 5 General] msponsler:
You mean LG G2 or HTC One, right? :)
[Nexus 5 General] GunPowder55555:
thanks man
[Nexus 5 General] big_b0sss:
can't wait to sell my galaxy s4. this is my first touchwiz phone and will be the last. although as a brand i like Sammy. loved my galaxy nexus but development on galaxy s4 is very little even though there are couple of asop cm rom but really it has been a while still no stable custom asop rom.

but one thing makes me worry about nexus 5 is the battery 2300 mah. can't figure out how's the battery gonna handle s800 and adreno 330 gpu + 5inch hd display :-\
[Nexus 5 General] varshil:
Launch has been delayed to november. So dont keep your hopes alive.
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
More speculation from crappy sources... Also mentions the nexus 5 to have a 13mp camera...
[Nexus 5 General] cruelnex:
you didn't take a photo with your phone of your tablet, did you?
[Nexus 5 General] ryude:
LOL
[Nexus 5 General] VoiD_Dweller:
LOL Exactly what I was thinking..
[Nexus 5 General] Lamerlengo:
snapdragon 800 and 5inch display "true-ips" are less power-hungry than the older version of both. so don't worry about it

IDK about adreno but I think we are on the same way as above
[Nexus 5 General] albertobozal:
omg two days!! I want see the new nexus, but i probably will not buy it.
[Nexus 5 General] paul_59:
Thought it was just UK customers who got caught with this.

I wonder if countries whose currency unit is worth less than 1 USD suffer the same pricing errors ?
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Unfortunately I think is a large amount of Europe that gets this unfair conversion.

Fingers crossed for a launch on the 28th else im going to end up going for the G2 instead. :/
[Nexus 5 General] Maneth:
Don't forget that $349 without taxes = ~252€ + 49.5€ (french VAT : 19.6%) so it costs around 302€, but I agree the conversion is always different from the real price. :(
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
I guess the import taxes are different depending on where you are in europe? maybe that makes a difference
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Ummm, 2 days what? You should really finish your sentences so we know what your so excited about.

And for you other point, lots of us really want to see the new Nexus whenever that will be, but we probably will buy it!
[Nexus 5 General] Maneth:
I don't think it make much difference between the two price, even more with Google the shipping is payable.
[Nexus 5 General] ozzjim:
I have ordered a G2. Originally really excited for a new Nexus, but quite glad that it has taken a while to come out as had more chance to think about what I am looking for in the next phone I get from the N4, and the G2 hits more features wise than the N5 appears to for me. The extra screen, the look, the camera, the battery life etc. Found it at a good price in the UK so happy enough with that, and in white. If the 32gb Nexus is 350 in the UK, it will have been about 16 quid including delivery more for the G2 that I have bought. Plus not being in the scramble for the N5 is quite a relief.
[Nexus 5 General] ehcool:
I expect the N5 to be £299 in the uk because thats what the highest capacity N4 was if im correct so it works out a fair bit cheaper than the current price on amazon for the G2 which is 420(BLAZE IT UP), sorry about that couldn't resist but yeah the conversion from what i expect $399 dollars to GBP is 249 + 20% VAT = 298 so 299 seems like that would be the price
[Nexus 5 General] lreyes:
I knew it was coming out the 31st. Kit-Kat = Candy. Candy = Halloween. Halloween = Candy. LOL
[Nexus 5 General] LoRd_LyKoS:
Yes...and no...It seems logical this date...But let's be honest: there are no invitations, there is no presentation...I do not think they will release it on the 31st...But it would be perfect...

Then there's the Kitkat Google+ webpage that they are posting images and everyone is taking different conclusions...And we do not know if they are posted as random or because of a purpose...

I'm gettint tired of my disappointments from different webpages/forums release dates...But never mind...Keep waiting...
[Nexus 5 General] ehcool:
Something that was discussed on the N5 Google Hangout is that the 24th event was there to give press review devices under embargo of course so i think the 31st sounds good but who knows i think at this point google has built up so much hype that they will just drop it onto the play store with no need for an announcement
[Nexus 5 General] EfrainTrejo:
Oode are you getting the n5
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
I am indeed
[Nexus 5 General] Hand76:
From a business standpoint doesn't seem to make sense.

Like the other poster said no presentation or event just basically throw it out there? And on a day like Halloween when everyone is busy and preoccupied?

Can anyone think of any other major electronic device that was ever released on Halloween?
[Nexus 5 General] EfrainTrejo:
Sick dude and I definitely can't wait to see your review on it.
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
I don't think Google really built up any hype with the N5. A few leaked photos at most. That's about it. If you mention a Nexus 5 to most people they won't have a clue what you are talking about.

To be honest, if I wasn't already interested in the N5 and continually looking for some info I wouldn't even know a new Nexus was on the horizon.
