What do you mean by "voice integration"? Aside from sending SMS it's pretty integrated... calling people on the Chrome extension uses my Google Voice number, and I imagine receiving texts to your Voice number will now send them to Hangouts after this update... And when you send SMS/MMS with the update, it'll use your Voice number...

leave the old Messaging icon around for 1.3, which just opens Hangouts, and then it disappears in 1.4 or 1.5

If it's anything like Chrome, which replaced the stock browser starting with the original Nexus 7 (I think?), the stock messaging app will still probably be available for everyone that currently has it installed, but new Nexus devices will have it removed and you'll have to use Hangouts (or sideload Messenger.)

Will it use data Voice SMS or actual SMS from my Voice number? That's my concern. I don't want any SMS in my life. Hopefully you're right in that Google kills the Voice app with this update.

I think the Voice app and service will stick around a while longer, and Google will funnel people through it to get their own numbers and set up visual voicemail and caller blocking, etc., but yeah, eventually I think even those features will be integrated.

Eventually, yes. Now? I don't think so. But we'll see.

I would bet invites on the 21st, just a gut feeling.

I think you're right
It's still only available for English speaking countries. I pushed it down from the web store instead, worked like a charm!
Tried that on my computer but unofortunately it didn't work either. Guess I have to buy either Swype or Swiftkey or wait until they make it available for the umlaut people.
I'm in the process of getting a new phone and I've been using a iPhone 5 and before that a
Samsung galaxy note 2. I was thinking about getting a note 3 but after reading a lot of comments on news sites and forums I see this LG G2 in the mix now. Why is everyone pretty much recommending the LG G2 over the note 3 or am I missing something?

Did you even try going into its page? That's how I did it, unless something has changed.
Don't know what's taking them so long though, it still supports all languages it used to.
Yeah. I pressed "Install" then there's a listbox which says "No eligible devices for app install".

Nexus 7 (2013) invites sent Wednesday, conference one week later
Nexus 4 invites sent out Wednesday, conference 11 days later
Invites tomorrow (9th), conference on the 16th, launch two weeks later on 30th.....???
Well, guess they fixed that then. If you're willing to go through the trouble, your next best bet is finding the apk somewhere and sideload it on your device.
Haha. I think my phone actually has it pre-installed. Me dumb.

Yeah I am sure android police will have it on their archives somewhere. Shouldn't be too hard to find.
Edit: lol, well that's that solved then!

Eric Schmidt calls Android 'more secure than the iPhone'
I would have posted this as a new thread but judging by the ignorant comments in the verge comments, I don't think it would be a good idea. He is right, the iPhone has had many times more vulnerabilities than Android over the years and malware is pretty much a non issue. I mean that did that recent Google stat show, malware affected 0.001% of devices?

Two wildly different batteries for two models? Screams fake. I can't think of a time that ever happened.
If it did happen, the 32gb would be a no-brainer.
I believe this rumour as much as I believed the multiple OEM Nexus devices rumours.
That would be amazing. I'd even pay 399 for 16gb+3000 battery. OEMs really should differentiate the higher tiers of phone models with other features beside storage space.

So is the downgraded Nexus 5 camera still going to be good?
I'm hoping the software update that boosted the Moto X's camera performance means that Google is getting their shit together on their camera software.
If my Nexus 4 had LTE and a better camera, I'd probably keep it around for another year. Since the Nexus 5 will fix the former (and hopefully the latter), I see myself keeping it for two.

I call bullshit on this rumor. If they are charging 100 more, it need to be 64GB.
Huh?
Google's recent trend has been 16GB, +$50 for 32GB, +$100 for 32GB with extra (LTE) on the tablet line.
It makes sense for +$100 for 32GB with extra (battery) on the phone line.

Nexus 4:
Sony IMX111PQ 1/4.0″ Exmor R BSI sensor
Nexus 5:
Sony IMX179 1/3.2" BSI + Optical Image Stabilization
The Nexus 5's camera is comparable to the iPhone 5 without OIS. With OIS, it should be even better.

Comparable in terms of specs (quality of the sensor and such), but yes, software plays a huge role. No amount of software would've made the Nexus 4 camera good, since the sensor was terrible, though.

Let's hope so.
At first, I was fine with the Nexus 4's camera, but it has becoming an increasingly large gripe I have with the phone - second to only the lackluster battery life.
Still love the phone, though. Buttery smooth as always.

Im actually pretty pleased with the battery life on the Nexus 4. I can usually get to about 14% with moderate/heavy use by the end of the workday.
Then again, my last two phones had a worse battery life so this is quite the upgrade.

If there is a 3000mah version...good lawd.
If the N5 pan out exactly like the rumor then I think google pretty much give up on competing on the high end.
Google's "Nexus Program" has been pretty confusing and constantly changing in the last 4 years. This is first time I think they settle down on a model.

What? The Nexus 5 specs are high-end.
Only the CPU is highend. It's a V8 Mustang.
Lol. Question: is the iPhone 5S a highend phone?

Link?
iPhone has always had class leading camera and soc (at least on the GPU side), and maybe screen.
Why do you think google can sell the phone for 350? They have to cut corners some how. Sorry to break the news to you.
Ok well we have a Snapdragon 800 with an Adreno 330 GPU. Those are both class leading. The screen is 5" 1080p IPS which is now pretty standard so we won't know until we see it but the Nexus 7 2013 has excellent color reproduction, so there's reason to believe this will too. The camera is looking as good as the iPhone 5 but with OIS. The battery looks decent and we don't know what battery life to expect yet. So explain to me exactly what aspects are not high end?
And for the record, I'm not one of the people expecting it to cost $350. I'd love to be wrong but I'm thinking more $450.
Edit: Oh, and on top of all of this, it will inevitably be smoother than every Android flapship this year. Count on it.
