Google Nexus 5 by LG Preview (LG D820)

We used to see rumors out of nowhere every single day from the tech sites. The invites for the 24th event (tomorrow) went out, supposedly with no hardware reveal, and none of the tech sites write about it? I mean, they were coming up with rumors left and right out of thin air, but here comes Google announcing an event and they all stay quiet? Not even questioning the supposed "no hardware reveal"? Yeah sounds fishy.

 

I'm sure they'd love the ads revenue by posting about it, which leads me to think they havent posted about it just because they cant...

That is a good point.

Sounds plausible. It's gotten a little boring because there are no new leaks or anything. I love reading rumor sites.

 

And I am surprised that no one has called out whoever said there would be no new hardware. But the more I think about it, the more you make sense.

Are there other phones that have been slowed or delayed? In theory it shouldn't be exclusive to Google

Well, the other phone LG makes (the G2) was delayed when it came to Sprint and there were some issues with limited stock from Verizon I believe. Perhaps this is contributing it it?

I'm thinking there hasn't been speculation about an announcement tomorrow because there's been confirmation from two independent sources that the event is not Nexus-related. Sure, many of these rumor sites want traffic no matter what, but when you lose all credibility by totally making stuff up, you eventually lose traffic as well. Am I to take it that you think the lack of rumors regarding an announcement tomorrow is evidence that it will be unveiled!? I would attribute the lack of rumors generally in the last few days to the fact that there's almost nothing left to reveal...

 

Any claim of production delays is baseless speculation at this point.

 

We're all anxious, but there's no reason to believe this phone isn't being released precisely on schedule. Don't forget the Nexus 4 was announced at the very end of October and first available in mid-November...

Why do people think the Nexus 5 is being delayed?  Google probably had an internal date they had all along and in their eyes it is not delayed.  Just because there were rumors about an Oct 15th announcement doesn't mean that every day after Oct 15th means it is delayed.  Those rumors were just baseless speculation and the fact that tech blogs didn't get invites to a Google event at least a week before Oct 15th was enough of a clue that nothing was to be expected on Oct 15th.

 

Besides there was talk about an Amazon reviewer that said he had a NDA which said he can't talk about the Nexus 5 until Oct 25th which tells me that the phone has always meant to be announced after Oct 25th.  I am guessing we will hear something about the Nexus 5 within the next 2 weeks.

Okay I'm going to add a little fuel to the fire and say November 11th is the release day. Not sure about an announcement. Check out the time on the tablet towards the end of the video.

Only today will tell what Google really has in store for us.

 

 

Anyone know at what time the even will take place? Or anywhere to livestream it? :D

I would just watch TWiT TV I'm sure they will be doing live coverage. Maybe the Verge too? Since Google announced the Nexus 4 last year through an exclusive The Verge interview, after the hurricane in New York, who knows.

Wrong icons and status bar if all of the Nexus 5 are to be believed.

Doesn't look like a hardware announcement.

 

That said, what are the smaller devices pictured here? Nexus 4s?

Ya probably for Android and Play Music.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
