Nexus 5 leaked

Aedus · 31 Oct 2013 at 13:49

My Nexus 4 gave up the ghost last night, the bottom part of the touchscreen doesn't work anymore.

Looks like i'll be picking this up if it's for a decent price. Seems very convenient, but I can't complain.

I'm not so sure about that. They would probably set a time and date for sale, rather than just saying "new phone, go order now". I could be wrong, but as a company, you want to get the message out there, then let the customers go mad and bring the ordering site down

Last year it was very vague... ended up being 8.42am or something on a Thursday morning? Can't remember.

I've got to head out this afternoon but I've got my brother on alert just in case. If they do go on sale, they better not limit sale to 1 per customer because he wants 1 too.

I think that you will be ok with ordering more than one.

Don't be preordering yet. You maybe be able to get it from cow tomorrow

I can't believe people are happy to pay £500 for one! Considering there's nothing released or reviewed yet.

grudas · 31 Oct 2013 at 14:14

those who buy it for 500-600 now need a good old slap.. in the face.. with a chair.. seriously how hard can it be to wait a few hours?

I'm hoping I can get it from CPW, their customer service was really good last year. Ordered for delivery to store, got an email confirming it had been shipped and then another the next day saying it had been delivered to store. Then I got a call from the store saying it was there too. Much much easier than ordering from Google....

More expensive tho?

To be fair £500 / £600 can be nothing to a young bloke earning big money. Its all relative. If carphone warehouse offer it tomorrow when I am in town I might not be able to say no. I am in a good space as out of contract but ideally I want to buy sim free. But don't really mind if it means i can get my hands on it tomorrow... If that does indeed happen.

True, £90, but at the time by far the easiest way to get hold of one. Who knows, maybe Google will sort out their ordering system and customer service this time.

I'd say that's the most likely, but we're all just guessing at this point.

Just read that it's confirmed for sale in Hong Hong on Nov 1st which would be in an hour their time?

Cosimo · 31 Oct 2013 at 14:58

I'm hearing the embargo is officially lifting at 11am Pacific, but the announcement and possible Play Store availability could come earlier, so I wouldn't leave anywhere starting right about now. Retail availability is tipped for tomorrow at the latest, though I wouldn't be surprised if some locations will begin selling today. In Europe, due to the time difference, you guys will likely have to wait for tomorrow.
