It took 2 hours to get my confirmation email.
[Nexus 5 General] isaw:
oh great. my order status has moved from "dispatched from warehouse on 5/11" to "Pending"

That isnt good...
[Nexus 5 General] OctoPI:
Woohoo! I just got an email from Google saying they shipped my order. Shipped via UPS.

32GB Black with 2 Day Air shipping. Order placed at 1:01pm Central time (1 minute after launch :cyclops: )
[Nexus 5 General] varshil:
Have a look.. Yea the launch is tonight and n5 will be available from tomorrow. Just got the news.
[Nexus 5 General] johnandroid:
Holy mother of God... :eek::eek:
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Awesome. Would it be possible to know your source? :highfive:
[Nexus 5 General] varshil:
My friend told on the group. He has clicked the pics and said that he is going to sell all these phones in hongkong for 3898 hkd from tomorrow. Also he has white pieces. 16/32gb. N today is the launch..
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Awesome thank you very much for sharing. This is a long shot, but I don't suppose you know if there will be an event or not?
[Nexus 5 General] A.VOID:
So I assume that since you're in Mumbai, the announcement is this AM in the USA. All sources I've seen say announced by 11am PST, which makes sense to closely capture 10/31 world wide
[Nexus 5 General] varshil:
Yup I have no idea about the event. Mostly it can be from 8am-11am PST. But not sure about it.
[Nexus 5 General] hello00:
ppl say the announcement is 2morrow..some say it is on the 1st and some guy from india say it is today..come on..what is it gonna be
[Nexus 5 General] varshil:
According to my friend the launch has to be today. Otherwise how would he be able to sell those phones from tomorrow. So I think it has to be today. No 1 can tell what Google has planned for us
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
When you say sell them.. Is he selling them to a supplier or to individuals?
[Nexus 5 General] varshil:
I dnt know..
[Nexus 5 General] wardy01:
OP is infact correct, white version doesn't look that nice. The lg logo isn't blue like the prev leaked picture on Google +,

camera is good(less grain and colours look more true than the n4) but after today I will be opting for a G2.(dependent on the n5 price)

It will come with 4.4 but upgrade to 4.4.1

Announced tonight and sale tomorrow,

cheers.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Again. Care to share the source of all this info?

[Nexus 5 General] kenjiwing:
Im confused by this whole thing.

Theres still no press conference scheduled or sent out for any of the tech blogs to announce nexus 5 or the kitkat. So if they arent going to have a press conference why wouldnt they announce and sell a the same time? If you arent trying to build any help why announce it in the first place?
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
Good info hear but don't see the phone launching with 4.3

also i expect the phone to be about 390 on cpw as that was the price of the N4 apparently
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
You make a very good point, I think they may still possibly do an announcement and presentation. Much like the Google+ event this past Tuesday, stream it on the web and it goes directly to your target audience. But personally.. Im hoping for a silent release today with them available to buy today as well. :)
[Nexus 5 General] dazed1:
What does this mean? all sources by now, said in 4-6 hours from now. How come now its 2 hours? :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] can6rxw:
I think all new Nexus 5 topics should be deleted. Why clutter up the forums with the same old rumors? Only to just iritate eveyone? No thanks....
[Nexus 5 General] chrisinsocalif:
Another website is stating the release to be at 8 am pst. I am tired of all these rumors. I hope it's not the future of advertising.
[Nexus 5 General] dean_lee:
it has the fastest updates
[Nexus 5 General] rg400smarttowel:
It should come out soon in ready for the holidays.
[Nexus 5 General] paul_one:
Really!?

"world wide" ?

PST is GMT - 7 ... So in maths terms, in the *world*, there is a place +19 hours (about 6am 1st November) ahead, and the earliest is GMT - 12 (about 6am 31st).

To closely capture 31/10/2013 (d/m/y format, you don't see anyone putting minutes before hours *sigh*) would be dead-on 12:00 GMT (or 12:00 UTC if you'd like the correct time standard now).

(if you can't tell, I'm annoyed with the wait and veeeeery picky :rolleyes: )
[Nexus 5 General] dazed1:
Why do you guys need to complicate so much? who cares about time zones? if you are so good with them, just tell one simple thing.

HOW MANY HOURS FROM NOW? the phone will be announced for all at the same time, time zones are irrelevant.
[Nexus 5 General] imTigger:
According to a Hong Kong website, eprice.com.hk

Some local dealers in Hong Kong claimed that stock will be available in 1 Nov.

16GB for 3898 HKD (Around 500 USD, and yes, Nexus phone are expensive in Hong Kong since Galaxy Nexus)

they dont need to do a conference..they never did when the n4 came out and the chromebook 10

Sent from Mars™
[Nexus 5 General] dazed1:
AFAIK its in 2 to 4 hours from now :(
[Nexus 5 General] gravityz3r0:
nah..it should be about 4hours 7minutes and 13seconds from now..
[Nexus 5 General] kenjiwing:
The chromebook is a **** product and nothing compared to the n4. They are also announcing kitkat and the n5. The n4 had a scheduled conference the only reason it didnt happen was due to the hurricane. There isnt even one scheduled for this one.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Firstly. The chrome book is an amazing product, you've just clearly never owned one or simply don't fall in to the group of people its aimed for.

Secondly. The N4 wasnt leaked this much and hadnt been pre-release marketed in such a way. Anyone who still says all these "leaks" are accidental is a fool. These leaks are part of a wider marketing campaign and maybe that same campaign doesn't require an event, who knows. Or maybe they will do a tiny event with a few people and stream it like the recent Google+ event?
[Nexus 5 General] gamer.11:
Ahh i bet google is loving the hype we are creating! just think of it!! free advertising! :p:cyclops:

It's five past 7 in the morning in California now, so surely less than an hour to go.
[Nexus 5 General] gravityz3r0:
I'm just being sarcastic :P That guy posted an assumption with no source to back him up. So i'm kinda making fun of it.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Exactly if you think about it, this is very very clever because all these leaks get the people who are most likely to buy one talking which means they recommend it to all their (non techy) friends. This massively multiply the reach and gets a load of people interested who normally wouldn't be. All for free!!! I know at least four people who are buying N5s because I talked about the leaks and they are normal every day people.

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

It uses the power of recommendation and the fact the people trust their techie friends. Very clever.. I feel we have all been played ;)
[Nexus 5 General] txsizzler:
Needless to say, I am highly interested. About 40 minutes here in Texas until the "supposed" launch.

Anyone feel this phone will be sold out within minutes, like the N4? I am also hearing that Amazon will be carrying this phone as well. Thoughts?

[Nexus 5 General] Watcher07:
The only "source" that I've found with any solid reputation is Artem from Android Police, his post on G+ says that it could be somewhere between 8-11AM with 11AM being worst-case scenario and the likely time being between 8AM PST and 8:30. So I wouldn't latch onto that 8AM thing too tightly, and even with the solid reputation Android Police has, it's still a leak.

in this 40 mins the play store will crash we'll all be hitting refresh constantly eventually get in 20 mins later and nothing will be different

Google trololololol
[Nexus 5 General] eep2378:
If it does launch today(in a little while) along with KK, then it well be something unprecedented and unusual when it comes to new product launches and release. A major device and OS with no media event/conference to announce it? It's actually kind of refreshing, google is getting plenty of buzz from us and those who want Nexus' devices are not the average consumer anyway. Can you image Apple just releasing the 5s and iOS 7 on the Apple store one morning with a huge unnecessary media event? NO way.
[Nexus 5 General] daddioj:
:o !!!!!!!!
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
If this was you taking the picture can you tell us if the back is rubber textured like on the N7? I would like the white one but not if it's rubbered as it'll get nasty
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Is this your image?

Says its taken at 7:46 which is more than believable.

Yeah, the G+ event earlier this week got started about 30 minutes late. And I've seen a range--8:00-11:00 AM PST--being suggested rather than a hard 8:00 time.

LG Nexus 5 Announcement Today

Looks like the LG Nexus 5 is set to arrive today at 11am PST. It's all rumours but reports are starting to trickle out: http://bit.ly/Nexus5Announcement
[Nexus 5 General] Paddington:
I hope we are wrong, but I agree with you. This seems very different from any of Google's other releases. They have had two events in the past two weeks for things much less significant than a Nexus 5 + Nexus 10 + KitKat. Android Police is very confident about this, though, and they're usually pretty spot on.

[Nexus 5 General] Hand76:
As much as I want the release to be today I will lose a very slight bit of respect for Google releasing a product in this manner.

It is irresponsible!

They owe it to their fanbase to educate their customers prior to release on what the device is, does, color options, internal storage options, price, carriers.

It almost seems like an inside joke at Google, like "Hey we don't even have to announce a product and watch it sell through the roof."
[Nexus 5 General] oobatz:
Who is this device aimed at? Geeks - we know what the phone looks like - we know the specs - we know 4.4 will be on it or soon will be.

Do a soft launch let us desperadoes get our hands on it first, then do a press thing later when the next batch of stock comes in.

[Nexus 5 General] Hand76:
We don't know exactly what color options will be available at launch, will a 32GB be available in both black and black and white model? Don't know an official price for the 32GB version, have not heard if Verizon is supported or not.

Buying a phone for hundreds of dollars is a big deal whether you are a geek or not. And even us geeks should have a clear understanding of all options prior to release. Since when is this the way you release a highly anticipated product?

[Nexus 5 General] BorisDeviant:
As far as I know, Google does not owe you anything, nor does it have to comply with your rule of announcing a product. As a consumer, if you are not happy with their way of doing (or not doing in this case), you have the power to not buy their product and go for a competitor. Or, of course, wait a few days for the first feedbacks from early buyers.
[Nexus 5 General] Alexcxvtr:
So, I know that starting price will be $349 in the US Play Store.

But how does this apply to the UK's one?

I mean there is significant difference regarding currency.

Anyone knows expecting price in GBP?
[Nexus 5 General] oobatz:
Around £350 for 32 gb - £299 for the 16gb is my guess
[Nexus 5 General] Paddington:
We know it isn't supported on Verzion. In the US, it will be supported by T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint.

Verizon and Nexus don't mesh very well.
[Nexus 5 General] Angus66:
It is my understanding that the Nexus 5 would be available on ALL major carriers with only one model available...
[Nexus 5 General] Watcher07:
Nope, no Verizon LTE support.

[Nexus 5 General] Alexcxvtr:
If your guess is right count me out of the 32gb one.

Unfortunately, I have insufficient funds...:(

Too bad, I really want that.
[Nexus 5 General] isaw:
I thought these were coming in a 64gb model as well...?

Besides, its worth saving up and spending for a pricier version if the 32gb and up has a larger battery capacity..
[Nexus 5 General] umesswitme:
The battery is the same in both the 16GB and 32GB
[Nexus 5 General] Hand76:
Look at some of the questions people have on this very page. Asking about Verizon, a 64 GB version, bigger battery on a poss Sprint version.

And some of you are going to argue with me that Google shouldn't make it clear what we are buying prior to release? Smdh.
[Nexus 5 General] Alexcxvtr:
[MENTION=2149338]isaw[/MENTION]

Ya, my thoughts exactly.

Might wait for some other day to purchase the 32gb one along with the new N10 32gb. I dont know...

I'll decide the last second.:D
[Nexus 5 General] Paddington:
There has been nothing to support this, and this has been talked about all over the forum. No Verizon support. Even if the phone can access one of Verizon's LTE bands, it is not Verizon's primary LTE band, and Verizon has no voice (or SMS, if I recall) over LTE. Plus they aren't going to issue you a sim card, putting you in the same predicament as the Nexus 7 Verizon LTE users except you can't use the phone as a phone.

I agree 100%. I did the same thing, and I can't wait to get the N5 and sell this Moto X.

There has not been a single rumor about a 64gb model. Everything says 16gb and 32gb.

Edit: BTW, I think we have also kicked the larger battery for 32gb version as well. I thought that was stupid all along, but I'm pretty sure the rumor has been completely debunked at this point.
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
Why should you care? Google doesn't.
[Nexus 5 General] jayr04:
Has it been confirmed that the 32gb will have a larger battery?
[Nexus 5 General] DroidDavi:
I'm starting to think we might not see it today . I don't think google will do a big event but baby a video like the verge did last year then maybe a week or so
[Nexus 5 General] bilbo6209:
Yes they should make an announcement of some sort.... but why spent money on anything with the Tech Community AKA us, have whipped this into a frenzy and giving them all the gorilla marketing they could possibly want?!?!

If I was running the show at Google I would stage a few careful leaks AKA the video of the KitKat announcement, The Wind mobile leak of specs etc... and then let the Tech community get all worked up trying to figure out what and when, then VERY shortly before the time to announce put out a notice that a press release/google+ announcement is coming in a half hour etc. All the press this phone has gotten hasnt cost Google a dime!!! but everyone knows they want the phone LOL

I too am very excited to have Google announce the phone and KK, but I also agree 100% with the way Google has played this :)

Read the other articles on IBT about the Nexus 5. Every one of them is ripped from either Android Police, Android Central, Phandroid, or some similar blog. Every time, IBT takes the bloggers' rumors and alleges them as fact. A few other big sites like that are doing similar. The people writing the tech articles on those websites are just general tech enthusiasts, and most of what they say has turned out to be wrong.

Edit: note that very article talks about the Nexus 10 and uses a picture that has been recognized as an obvious fake.
