Nexus 5 Pre-Release/Speculation Thread

[AndroidifyMe]

Now that I think about it, the Nexus 4 was officially announced on the 29th..

I just asked Tim from Droid-Life if they were at the event/live-blogging it and he said:

"Nope and nope. As far as we know, there is nothing to cover. "

Hmmm..something definitely seems up

Either there's a lot of hush hush, or that's going to a pretty empty audience

Maybe it's entirely dedicated to the livestream with no press audience? Wishful thinking... Just throw us a bone, google.

Doesn't look like. Google doesn't seem to be livestreaming it and no one has one up yet.

Well, their severs just came back up. Maybe that's why..? Probably not.

Im looking for a livestream now but probably looking in the wrong places. If anyone finds anything, let me know!

Something's gotta happen. Too much coincidence with the Nexus 4 and 10 both going out of stock on Google Play.

Just got my oder confirmation email.

Should be here within a week.

Decided against the express delivery

Google event October 24, 2013: Nexus 5, 10 2 will not launch today [start time, live stream info] | Christian News on Christian Today

sigh..I was hoping it would be for software at least. But I guess why show software off and not the phone to. Looking more and more like the 28th.

Excuse me but, what did you buy?

Sorry, dying to see a livestream that Im totally disoriented for anything else right now.

The guy that posted about the invite just posted this:

Nothing is happening tonight. There will be no live stream, no press conference, nothing. No one is coming out on stage with a mystery device in their pocket, and no one that I know has been given a N5 or N10 for review yet. For your information, while we do occasionally get those before they are available for sale we do not get them before they are announced.

I didn’t break an NDA. The Google Play team didn’t think I would react the way I did when I got the invitation, and neglected to include some kind of note asking me not to share it. I caused that team a lot of headaches this past week as a result. It was a communication error, and I jumped the gun. End of story, I promise.

It’s been a long month, and we don’t have too much longer to wait if what I am hearing is true. I’m sorry I screwed up and got everyone’s hopes up, and I’m pissed that I have to apologize because I’m just as excited about this phone as everyone else, but please take my word for it. Nothing is going to happen tonight.

I know, I know. “Why book Capital Cities?”

To be honest, I don’t have the answer to that. Big companies hire bands for small events all the time, and usually it really is because reasons. The price was right, the band was available, and that’s all she wrote. It happens, and it isn’t indicative of anything.

That had to do with the event being delayed due to hurricane sandy

Google’s Nexus event threatened by Hurricane Sandy: will it be canceled? [UPDATE: CANCELED]

I guess it's officially a dud. Next up is the 28th.

The extended battery I got for the gnex

:rofl:

Sorry, that was mean, I had to

:rofl: That was mean. Did you get an OEM extended or a 3rd party tank battery?

 

[iowabowtech]

I want me some 4.4 rom base. Google, let's get this show on the road. That'll get their attention.

Why/how could it be absolute nothing when there where invites. There has to be something....

It's for the press. The average person is never invited to these things. It's for the tech and consumer press. They're getting familiar and closer with Google related things. Think of it as a party and learning experience at the same time.
I posted a link to what was sad it really was. The media jumps to conclusions or what we think is happening until the OFFICIAL source itself says so. It's nothing going on or ever was tonight.

Although true, I highly doubt it as a coincidence that they just so happened to have this event amongst all the N5 rumours floating around.

Not that it is just a mixer; but this was definitely there to crush some hopes and dreams

Well, that sucked. I'm still curious about the supposed embargo being lifted tomorrow. Seems like it has some credibility. Idk why a top 100 Amazon Reviewer would lie about that.

 

[Rxpert83]

:rofl: That was mean. Did you get an OEM extended or a 3rd party tank battery?

Ordered OEM. When it gets here ill find out if the $1.50 I spent was OEM or Chinese fake. I bet Chinese fake.


I still think this got all of the press attention by mistake.


I really wish I was wrong,but it turns out the embargo likely was

The Go Launcher EX official Facebook/Twitter page is reporting they were invited to an Android 4.4 event taking place Friday night (tonight). Why would they make this up? Seems legit.
