Would be interesting if true, not exactly a long wait until Tuesday to find out. Though it's a little concerning that press invites haven't supposedly been sent.

I hear ya, not hearing about press invites has me a bit concerned. Don't they usually leak those about a week before the event?
 
Artem Ruslovski's (spelled that wrong but I'm mobile right now) g+ page is actually pretty interesting. He's posted 5 or so leaks he doesn't feel confident enough about posting to AP.

One of them was the release date for 4.4 being listed as October 31st, but the information was about a month old so could obviously change

Could be more relevant as the nearer rumored date approaches with no press announcement

Excellent g+ recomendation, just added him to a circle. tx!
 
It's quite possible the N5 could be supplied with 2 different batteries, if the chassis is based on the G2 then if I'm not very much mistaken then the Korean Version of the G2 has a removable 2300 battery whilst the G2 I have here in the UK comes with a 3000 fixed battery

The issue is that the Nexus 5 has a smaller frame, so fitting a larger battery in it would be tough. Though a second model may exist, we've not seen any concrete evidence like an FCC approval documents.

Not that I believe in this double battery rumor, but they wouldn't need another FCC approval if all they did was double the storage and add a larger battery.

Well, since I have doubts that it would fit in the same Nexus 5 shell, that's have to make a completely different model with a separate model number as a result. Thus it would have have to be certified again by the fcc. At least that's my logic.

If all they did was make the back cover a little deeper to accommodate a slightly larger battery, would that still require another FCC approval?

It might, because FCC documents have exact dimensions of the device listed on it. If you change any of the 3 dimensions, it would have to either be amended or have a whole separate entry.

Oh yeah! So, not being familier with the fcc process, is there other certs that need to be completed that we are aware of?

Sometimes blogs post if a device goes through WiFi certification, but most slide under the radar without us noticing. This one might have as well for all we know.

hopefully the always listing "ok, google" thing will be real. Would be ncie to have the dedicated hardware for that like the moto-X but this is still a cool feature

All phones with the s800 cost support this in hardware. (G2, note 3). They need the software component.
 
I'm really hoping this gets announced on the 15th. But with the lack of invites, I'm not sure. What's everyone else thinking?
