Really excited for this phone. I'm giving serious thought to dumping VZW and getting the n5 if it comes out on ATT.

I've got nothin to add... just figured I'd say hello!

I'm OK with that if it works with their LTE.

Are you still locked in to a 2yr contract if you bring your own phones?

Yep, should work on their lte with no issues. If you bring your own device, you should be month to month or you can go prepaid for a better deal.

Ahhhhhh the best leaks come from the source themselves! Absolutely beautiful.

So...this will be happening soon? I don't see Google doing something like this (accidentally of course) if it's not right around the corner...as in like within a week tops. Right?

They already took it down, but it does leak the price. Hopefully the launch is imminent.

Yeah I figured as much. I thought they would do something like this...I have been constantly going to the Play Store and swapping out the "4" for a "5" under the Nexus devices to see if anything would show up. Stupid I know, but I've seen it work in other things that aren't quite intended to be seen just yet!

There was a white version of both the galaxy nexus and Nexus 4, but they were limited edition.

Ahh I see, thank you!

This week has been pretty epic for leaks. I've gotta say, from the looks of it right now, Google has to be pretty pleased with how this has been going. Nice chatter to begin with a couple FCC pics here and there and some "leaked" images of a guy using it at a Google event (completely on purpose) then some manuals last week, and then this week a hands on video and pics plus the Play Store incident. All of this w/o the phone ever realllly existing! Quite a buzz going on right now and it's 100% planned.
 
How much can a 16gb phone reasonably store? I don't store music, and can leave movies for the tablet, but I do love apps and books and magazines :-)
 
If you don't have a lot of games, 16gb would be plenty considering you don't store music or movies

You'll have roughly 12gb or so available to you

I store all of my music on my 16gb nexus 7 as well as a few games and a nandroid and have no issues with space
 
For me with my Galaxy Nexus (16GB, 13.33GB after OS), I have 5.7GB in in Apps, 2.84GB in Music (about 25~ mp3 albums, give or take), another 2.2GB in miscellaneous, with about 2GB left over.

So it's enough to get by, especially if you have good data. For me, I don't have good data (I'd call it fair at best) and my coverage area is relatively limited (I'm with WIND Mobile). So for me, onboard storage is still very important. I've mentioned before that USB OTG/Flash Drive is not a very efficient nor convenient solution.
 
I will probably get the 16GB version.... Even at 350+tax+shipping, still going to be a great deal now that I know how great the N4 has been for me.

Same here. I've had 8gb N4 and I've been fine with it. Since I use Google Music, I rarely store anything on the phone except apps and pics.
 
Is it confirmed that the 32GB will have a bigger battery? I store my music on my iPod and only use a few apps so 16GB would suffice. But I'd be willing to pay the extra $50 for better battery life.

From what I've seen, both the 16 GB and the 32 GB will be identical, other than storage, including the same battery. I don't believe anyone here can say for sure, though, until the phones are officially announced (or even if there will be a 32 GB version).

this will work with metro right ?

Yes, the Nexus will work with MetroPCS BYOD.

Ya I think the whole different battery capacity rumors have finally stopped since everybody knew how unlikely that was to happen.
