Nexus 5

I'm hating Google so much right now...

Read a rumor on a web that 4.4 and Nexus 5 are delayed until November.

Which one is causing the other to be delayed? Is 4.4 or the Nexus 5?

They gonna have a blackout date in New York this week I believe hopefully it's the release it's already been leaked on the play store

Mine was a mere disgruntled remark.

I haven't given it much thought as I don't care much about benchmarks. I stopped playing games on phones. I have a video game system and a bootcamp partition with a Steam account just for that.

Regardless, I'd still get a Note 3. I just wish it were knox free though or at least root friendly and cheaper and without all that bloatware. It's still the best Android phone in my opinion.

I think in the future they will release a bloatware free note 3 and for me I personally don't like cause of the size

I doubt they'll make a Note Google Edition. It is a bit too big, isn't it? Yet with the one hand operation setting, it's doable and if I ever end up getting the Note 3 or 4, it'll be to replace both my phone and tablet.

I bet the note 4 gonna have an even bigger screen then that can officially replace both

Just switched to T-Mobile and am thinking about waiting until they get it (if they get it). Anyone know how long it was before T-Mobile got it after launch?

The device in the middle looks like Nexus 5, doesn't it?

T-Mobile started selling them real soon after it was realeased but it will cost more thru them. It was $499 thru them but you dont have to come up with the whole price doing it that way.

Wasn't there an event for the Play Store scheduled for tonight? Or was that a scam for Geek.com to drive traffic?

Google has been tweeting about the event, and I posted a picture from it a couple posts up.

Gotcha. Thanks. I need to calm down.

Mobile Syrup has new information from "tipsters."

We’ve been tipped that Google will make the Nexus 5 available via Google Play on Thursday, October 31st, then arrive on Canadian carriers — Rogers, Bell, TELUS, Koodo and Virgin — up to 8 days later, either November 7th or 8th.

I had a feeling nothing would come tonight but, I still shed a single tear when I wasn't shocked by a Nexus 5 appearance.

 

[whoknows87]

[strausd]

Nothings going to happen today. That's my prediction.

it's coming October 31 with a new Google Smartwatch code name 'Gem,' as well as possibly other devices related to the android@home initiative from Google.

Kellen from Droid-Life discussed this in his G+ post

Co-owner of Android Police says the same thing in his G+ post

I'm calling shens. No tech sites today seem to have any info on this event that took place last night. This is bizarre.

I agree that it is bizarre. I've read tweets from various tech journalist that confirmed it was in no way Nexus 5 related yet no one elloborated as to what the event was about.
