Nexus 5

This seems like tomorrow will be the announcement. The early leak could be a software error that made the Nexus 5 leak on the Play Store before time.

----------

Only chance I'm getting this is if the carriers will have it worldwide.

Otherwise I think I'll pass.
 
Does the icon for the app drawer look weird to anyone else? Maybe it will just take some getting used to.
 
So.... where the heck is the ear piece?

Unified, yes. Can't say I like it yet though.

It's the circle in the top middle. Hopefully it sounds better than the nexus 4. That's why I returned my two.

Interesting.

And that's why I returned my nexus 4's that I went through too. Microphone issues.

The question is why in the heck change the ear piece from the phone that this is based off?? What benefit can that bring?

Edit: I guess it's really only based off of the G2 internally. Not externally. But still.

I like the cleaner black slate look that they employ for nexus phones (its beautiful when the device is turned off). I just hope the QC is better this time around. Another reason why I'm resisting the first batch too.

I just wish they'd sell it at Best Buy because then I wouldn't have to worry much about QC issues.

You mean because you could just return it to best buy and get a new one immediately?

I wish they would too so I could use my gift cards I've been saving. That would be amazing.

Ok that's what I thought. Keep in mind their insurance has changed. They now charge a deductible where as they didn't in the past. It's a shame really.

Where did you read that? I just cancelled the plan on my iPhone 5 three weeks ago and at that time there were no deductibles. I can't find anything online stating there has been a change.
 
KIT KAT 4.4 will be announced on October 21...

according to:

So we just went from 7 to 6.

You could potentially interpret the S in each word as being a 5 or even look to it as a reference to Michael Jackson who happened to be a member of the Jackson 5. So we’ve got from 7 to 6 to 5.

And then today, the Kit Kat G+ page posted this image, which is simply a full Kit Kat bar and the words “KIT KAT 4.4.” There are 4 bars to this Kit Kat, along with a mention of “4.4.”

See where we are going with this? It’s a countdown!

If the trend were to continue tomorrow with a 3, then a 2 on Saturday, and a 1 on Sunday, we end up at Monday, October 21. Yep, that’s the latest theory. We’ve even seen the word “confirmed” tossed out there. Woof.


Update 2: Oh it gets better. If you flip the “This is it” picture, the “is” becomes a 21! I seriously can’t make this stuff up.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news....I can't remember where I read it but in the best buy terms and conditions it's there.

Here's the section about phones.
