My question would be why someone would want an N4 at this point when you could get an N5? Price?
Rumor: Nexus 5 to launch at $299(16GB), $399(32GB, 2300mAh battery)

Price, aesthetics, size, etc.
Yes, and the lack of need for some of the more frivolous features like faster CPU, 1080p, ram etc.

I was just curious. I pass no judgement.

Nope.
Nexus 5
137.8 x 69.2 x 8.6mm (acccording to the Wind Mobile leak)
Nexus 4
133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1mm
I wish.
I love GAF too much to be a dick like that. If I had the phone you guys would have had a full review (full res pictures) and video already.

My bad, I thought it was smaller
Fuck me, I'll be at work. I usually have off on Fridays. It's my last day at a job I quit.(gave two weeks notice after finding a better job). I might not show up. This phone means that much to me. It will be my first smart phone.
Same here.

Yeah I think the early rumors said it would be smaller but we pretty much know for sure it's not now.

Planning on getting this. Will I need to get a micro sim card? My current phone uses a normal sized one.
Yeah, micro if not nano. We don't know which yet. (I'm betting on micro, though.) You could always cut it down to a nano and get a nano-to-micro adapter to have your bases covered.
You will.

It's confirmed to use a Micro Sim.
Oh really? Well there you have it I guess.

High five! I was going to get one in 2011, but I built a computer instead. I'm glad I waited. This appears to be the perfect phone for me at the perfect time with T-mobile and no contracts/free international roaming.

It's also a dummy/display unit, hence the lack of FCC/certification information on the back.

Are my eyes deceiving me or are those dock icons (all of them; not just the app drawer icon) semi-transparent?

The time is 4:40. It's a model unit, likely from Carphone Warehouse.

I'm debating whether to get a Nexus 5 even though I already have a Nexus 4 and getting a new Nexus 10 soon.
Nexus 5 could be worth a lot of money like the Nexus 4 at its release date.

Don't do this to yourself man.
My Wife and I go on off-year cycles. So this year she's getting the N5 to replace her S and next year I'll get the N6 to replace my N4. Keeps both of our phones relatively up to date while also letting me play with the latest and greatest. Although as phones reach 'good enough' levels of performance it might be harder for me to justify. My N4 is still smoking fast and even by this time next year I might have a hard time replacing it without feeling wasteful.

I would be happy to live with my n4 if it were not for little hardware niggles, slight light bleed at the top of the screen with a weird ripple effect and the really visible digitiser are annoying. All academic anyway, my wife wouldn't let me get it so soon after getting a n4 lol
Midnight info dump here we come.

Twice as fast as the nexus 4, this thing is a beast
Wonder where 4.4 will take the N4, if it does include optimisations.
