Nothing yet - there was a fake photoshop doing the rounds a day or two ago. Also talk about LG releasing a 'Nexus 8' (LG Pad 8.3 Google Edition) which I don't believe either.
(Secretly hope they drop the announcement like this: "You all knew it was coming, here's the Nexus 5, available NOW on the Play Store. Oh.... Also a couple of other things... buy the new Nexus 10 (2013) and new Nexus 8 while you're at it!" *Internet Explodes*

Google is too busy leaking the Nexus 5. Wait until after this week.
Or if its earlier it will be to dilute all the stories about not being able to order a Nexus 5 because Google play is locked up.

What's your problem?
I just want to know if I need to order a new SIM card or not.
Don't be an ass.
Your username goes well with that post..lol.

It had always charged me tax when buying the card at Walmart but never when purchasing from my phone.

Everything I've seen has just been fake or pure rumor at this point, but that's the Nexus I'm most interested in hearing about.
I'm still happy with mine, but if the new one is both good enough for an upgrade and cheap enough, I'd be willing to sell my current Nexus 10 and pick up the new model.

More like Google's servers explodes and you can't order anything for a month.

Already have a N7 and I probably will get a N10 if it isn't expensive. Needs Boomsound on it.
Maybe it depends on the state? I am in NY and I brought that refill card 3 weeks ago.
Yea, I wouldn't be able to get this plan :-S
But I went on their site earlier, and wasn't able to find the $30 for 100mins/Unlimited text and 5GB of data plan that was posted here.

Looking forward to whatever the new Nexus 10 will be. I can finally upgrade from my gen 1 Nexus 7.

It's in the prepaid section.
Lol you make it sound like you've had it forever. It's barely been over a year.
Awesome. Been wanting to switch to Straight Talk and currently they don't offer nanosims.
I just found it. Thanks!
Can any speak on behalf of T-Mobile service wise? Good coverage and speeds, etc?

Probably depends on the area you're in. I know alot of people complain about dropped calls. Data is probably decent whether it's HSPA+ or LTE. You really have to test it out yourself or know someone personally who has it in your area.

those Nexus 8 stories read like pure clickbait...
Try checking the coverage for your area on their website. Their coverage generally isn't great if you're in a rural area, from my experience.
I know I'm planning on going with Straight talk and a $45/month for unlimited talk/text/data (first 2.5gb are lte, after that its throttled, but I don't usually use more than that anyways). They can use any of the 4 major carrier's towers, so I'll be able to use ATT's coverage.
straight talk has 4g? this is news to me. i would definitely choose that plan if this is the case.
I did some googling, says they got access to LTE mid September, so it's a recent development. Here's a Verge article on it.
You'd be surprised how noticeably better 1080p looks than 720p on a 5" display. On a 4.3" display? Sure, it's negligible, but on a 5" display it makes a big difference.

Sounds like it since some people are getting charged when reloading from their phone and I don't. Must vary from state to state.
Is that NC meant to be AC in the 802.11 spec?
impressive if so. is this thing ever actually getting announced? it must be tomorrow right?
dat OIS mmmmmmmmmm

I just bought an N4, and I'm so very happy with it and T-Mobile! I'm definitely going to wait until this time next year to see if they firesale the N5 to make room for an N6.
If I can get an N5 for $200 in September of 2014 I'll be a happy dude.

I'm not that hot on phone tech. Is the wi fi an improvement from the N4?
*high five* Low priced unlimited plans plus handset leaks! The carrier that keeps on giving.
I would go back to Wind Mobile in a heartbeat if I got their reception at work...
I really hope they somehow manage to get their hands on some of the 700mhz range for exactly that reason. :S

I'll be tuning in even if there's no phone announcement.
I'm hoping to see some more promising Hangouts news. (A full phase-out of Voice would be ideal.)

First day back at work from my vacation and this....
Yeah, pulling the battery on my GN has become pretty much a nightly occurrence.
My boss started to get into the Google ecosystem (we use Google Apps) and he didn't really know how great hangouts was until I explained it to him and he tried it out, and he also recently got a chromecast because I was mentioning it (he loves it too).
Google should pay me, I do a pretty good job at being a shill.

I'm slowly getting my mom to transition from SMS/MMS to Hangouts. I've got Google Voice, so I can't receive any MMS messages from her, so I've done my best to get her to switch over.
I knew my effort was starting to work when I got an unexpected video call from her a few weeks ago. That was amusing.
Thanks! Now I have to figure out how the hell to operate G+.

It's a Google+ event. No Nexus. No KitKat. PhoneArena is pure, unadulterated shit.
Considering how they announced this event the night before on Google+, I'm sure they have no problem doing another event on Thursday.
Although, Engadget seems to think it'll show the Nexus...
So if it is announced today, then would a probable release date be this week? Because the gap between the Nexus 4's announcement and release was almost two weeks. Don't think I can handle that
Maybe considering there's warehouses full of them already ready to be shipped.

My nexus 4 just broke so I will wait for the 5 at this point...I swear I hate that POS n4 phone. It fell like 1ft and glass is smashed and won't respond. This is like the 3rd time the glass has cracked on me. Last time it slid out of my pocket while leaning back in office chair. The other time not sure my gf did it. I've never had a phone that has had such shitty glass.

So what are most of you doing? Watching the G+ event just in case?
