There is no change the 32gb version will have a 3000mah battery, is there?

 

Is was one anonymous "tipster" that told phonearena of the 3000mah 32gb version, no other mention of this.

 

Yes its that same rumor but so many tech websites ran with that story and tried to paint it as it was written like the 10 commandments.  Since then there has not been any more confirmation of a 32 GB + 3000 maH battery model.

 

I don't believe there will be one.  The FCC docs don't support it and it just seems to weird to me for Google to have 2 different storage models along with 2 different battery sizes.  It just doesn't make any sense.  I expect to see a 16 GB and 32 GB both with a 2300 maH battery.

Assuming this is available via Google Play Store, can you use Google Play gift cards to purchase?

 

I've got nearly $100 in gift cards I would love to put towards the N5

Should be able to.

 

EDIT - I stand corrected.

This looks more and more tempting. We'll see how the reviews fair against the G2 on the Sprint network in terms of RF performance.

How has the G2 performed rf wise on sprint? (And others if that is known too)

No one really knows - there's been people that have it already that claim it's pretty good but they didn't check any debug screen or signal values compared to other devices.  So, until that happens we're clueless.

Can Google just announce this phone already. Might as well just put it up since we basically know all the specs and information.

 

I'll be throwing my money at the screen in the meantime, hoping something happens.

They're doing a good job hyping it up without even spending any budget on advertising.  I bet it's a good feeling when you have a large community of fans that are so eager for your product and know everything about it without even saying a word.

I've been wondering if google has been doing an 'opposite-of-apple' campaign and leaking info themselves to get everyone into a frenzy and all the free press.

They've definitely got the development and nerd community worked up.  They'll have to invest a bit into marketing for the average user, though.  But I prefer the way Google's doing it and it's actually funny that KitKat has given them as much publicity as they have, for a "no-money involved" agreement between the two.

It's worked in favor of KitKat. I've had two in the past two weeks, and considering it's been probably a good 2+ years since I've had a KitKat, it's definitey working.

 

But yes, that is a lot of free publicity for Google in this deal. The benefits go both ways, IMO.

Yeah I bought at least a dozen kitkats in the last 2 weeks. Racking up the Google play credits.

I've seen the specially marked android ones in walgreens and 711. The prizes were front loaded though. So many winners last week. This week very few.

Judging by the link that showed up when hovering over the Nexus 5 (https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_5_black_16gb) it looks like it might come in black and another color (white?) as an option.

 

Just posting some speculation as color doesn't appear in either the Nexus 4's, 7's, or 10's URLs.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
