Nexus 5 Pre-Release/Speculation Thread

Besides following the google+ page for the event tomorrow, is there something else to do like install something or just go to the page?
 
If they did announce it tomorrow, it would start to make sense of why invites haven't gone out considering I think the 11/5 date is fake. But I'm not getting my hopes up.
 
I went ahead and registered for it earlier today.

Hope its it.

I might even register with wind Mobile to try to get alerts lol

Quick question, I havent ever purchased a device off of the Google Play Store before, so I went to my google wallet to add my CC and did so just fine. However, where can I put my shipping address? Is that the same as my billing address? Sorry for the off-topic, it just confuses me quite a bit :banghead:

I haven't either buddy :o

So far I've done the same steps you have, but luckily my shipping address is the same as billing.

Does anyone know if there's a "ship to" portion before checking out? Surely there must be

Go through as if you are buying a Nexus 7. On the checkout page it will ask for your shipping address with an option to add one. It will always ask for this regardless if your billing and shipping addresses are the same or different. Once you add one (even without actually checking out) it will be saved for future purchase.
 
It's kind of meaningless. Google Play has always defaulted to the available sku of a device if one was available. Being that 16GB has been sold out for a while, this isn't new. Hopefully, we get some news soon though.

It's just the point of things being tinkered with. The slightest movement is a bit of excitement because of the anticipation.
 
That's a good plan for alerts and things, but for me.

My plan for this launch..

CALL OFF AND CANCEL EVERYTHING! (excuse- I have diarrhea)

F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 etc.

Emergency laptop in bathroom precautions will be exercised! Please feel free to use my plan!
 
I used the twitter account with tweetcaster but didn't get a push notification.

anyone know if this should work with tweetcaster too?
 
I signed up for SMS, but don't see why tweetcaster wouldn't work if you have it set up for push notifications.
 
SMS notifications... Nice


Now we just hope he picked a valid URL

For the N4 I setup my own alerts using Google Chrome and the extension Page Monitor. It worked flawlessly (I did receive a false alarm or two). The only bad part is that you need to be by your computer (or be able to hear it) to receive the notification of a page change.
