I'm fairly sure they know what they're doing. :rolleyes:

No they don't... They wont release it in Ireland the dirty feckers !!! ;) :) :(


I'm hoping that when I go to Dublin for my christmas shopping at the end of this month they may at least be offering them from their Google shop at the Google complex.
 
I believed for a while now that the nexus line isn't intended for the mainstream smartphone audience. It's for a niche audience which doesn't need to be marketed towards. Hence why you don't typically see any nexus phone marketing going on.

aside from myself and the ones I sell, I have never seen another nexus in person.
 
True but Google is not stupid enough to release any kind of device the same day as Apple does, they would get buried. I'm thinking they announce it next week sometime with a mid Nov release
Buried how? The iPad news is past. The fact it's on sale tomorrow isn't some major new event.

yes, all of the tech sites must be way wrong.
 
If this thing isn't announced in 10 mins there will be a massive sigh from Google/Android fanboys/fangirls across the globe.

The hype on social media and forums I'm reading is unreal.

This is either the worst announcement ever (non-existent) or one of the best.
 
quick question guys

who are the top competitors for the nexus 5 ? what other phones at the moment are in the same spec category (1080p screen, 800 processor ect)

Some friendly advice - the more you make predictions about today the greater chance you're gonna end up with foot in mouth syndrome once the real news breaks out today.

It's only a few hours. Maybe wait and see?

Nothing at that price, but if you're getting one on contract, there are a number of options (Samsung, HTC, and esp. the LG G2 upon which the N5 is based).

That's assuming they're competing for the same customer. People who wanted an iPad are still going to get an iPad and people who want the Nexus 5 are still going to get the Nexus 5.

You should know as well as we do that every online tech site is all over Apple launch day events. How many people are in line, how many people buy a space grey one, how many people buy a 32gb, how many people buy more than one....it's ridiculous. Only the hardest of hardcore Android heavy sites would mention the Nexus 5 on an Apple device launch day. Especially since people are actually excited about this new iPad.

Yup, no other news goes on. Nothing. Engadget, TheVerge, it just becomes all iPad news. No other stories or links until the following day. That's how you do journalism right. Applelism, I'll call it.

When are people NOT excited about an Apple product? There's a reason why they're called iSheep.
