[QUOTE=The Guardian]Google’s highly anticipated Nexus 5 flagship Android smartphone was briefly listed on Google’s Play Store, ahead of its expected release in the coming weeks.
The listing, which has since been pulled down, featured a US price of $349 (£215) for the 16GB version of the Nexus 5.
The Nexus 5 is expected to replace the popular Nexus 4 Android smartphone, which was the work of a partnership between LG and Google to make a high-end smartphone at an affordable price.
Official product shots of the Nexus 5 were also included, confirming a series of leaks and rumours that have surfaced within the last few months, including the replacement of the default Android SMS app with Google Hangouts, and a redesigned Gmail icon.[/QUOTE]

I'm confused, what happened?
I love my Nexus 4. So no point in upgrading now. Still, I can safely say I will always look for a Nexus phone before I look for anything else from now on. It is fucking amazing. Simple as that.

No set release time. Everyone F5ing. Servers crash during checkout. Some orders go through, most don't. All sold out in 20 mins (Nexus 4 + 7 + 10).

I remember getting a nexus 4 was terrible.
I thought it was supposed to be 300 bucks, not 350.
My one niggle with the N4 is the glass back which you're constantly scared to shit about scratching
This looks like a matte back so my phone erection is at full mast

Whatever happened to Google having a Galaxy S4 Google variant which was fully unlocked? Was that just a rumor or...?

Same, only got mine recently but I love how fast it is
That's my Nexus 4 getting launched out the window.
God this galaxy note 1 is so shit i can't wait to finally get a nexus phone
LG make such nice looking phones.
I've been quite happy with my Nexus 4 (that price drop was perfectly timed for me). I expect the 5 to be a very nice piece of hardware, hopefully they actually put something on the CPU to cool it this time.

Nice looking yeah, but almost all of the LG phones I've had were shit
Clunky as hell, shitty touchscreen, and just a general feeling that they belonged in the last generation is what I experienced

lg is terrible at software but tends to have pretty decent hardware
google owns at software
lg phone -- lg software + google software = awesome phone

LG's hardware (not the components but the build quality) is generally on the level of Samsung's cheap plastic builds, I think that the reason the Nexus 4 was so good was mostly because of Google's involvement. If you look at the G2, it's got a very interesting design and superb specs but the materials are still glossy shit whereas the Nexus 5 looks to have a matte finish.
I just want a phone with a screen in the 4" to 4.3" range, decent amount of internal storage, a MicroSD-card slot for ample storage opportunities, slide-out qwerty keyboard, and that doesn't sport [I]just [/I]a dualcore SoC from yesteryears mid-range phones but sold at a premium comparable to the current top-end phones.

Apparently a 32GB version will also be announced for $399, and maybe a white version as well.
