The sensor list has an interesting addition (Hall Effect). I'd be curious to see how it's implemented and how to interface with it. Possibly connected with the wireless charging support? Sensors: Accelerometer GPS Compass Proximity/Ambient Light Gyroscope Pressure Hall Effect
2gb of Ram is disappointing, extra memory really helps a smart phone keep up after two years of use.
As an African/Nigerian I am not even allowed to see what it looks like. Talk less of trying to make a purchase [1]. Last Night, I had to lie that I am in the US so I would be allowed to by Remote by 37Signals on my kindle. Quite ridiculous and annoying. http://imgur.com/eS8agor
I live in the country that their EU Headquarters is based. They won't sell any hardware to me either.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
T-mobile has a $30 prepaid plan that looks pretty good (100 minutes talk, unlimited text and "unlimited" [throttled after 5gb] data). http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans , click "Which plan is right for you?"
100 minutes of talk is pretty meagre I would rather opt for MetroPCS starting from $40 a month with unlimited talk, data and text. http://www.metropcs.com/metro/detail/MetroPCS_SIM_Card/61021...
Nearly ordered one. Last minute I though "Is this phone going to anything my nexus 4 can't?" And the answer was nope for me

Bah. Typical online store crap. Why the hell can't they do real pre-orders instead of running out of inventory. You'd think that Google would have heard of kickstarter by now and actually figured out why that sales model rocks.
Anyone know if it's possible to order the international version from within the USA? I'm moving to New Zealand soon and I'd be tickled if I could get the one with support for LTE bands 3/7...
If you're still in the U.S., just order it. I bought my old nexus here and it works just fine in Europe and South America. Just need to pop out the SIM card. If it works on t-mobile, it basically works anywhere.
It will work just fine on their 3G service, but I'd like to get one with LTE support.
Funny story, I waited on hold for a little over an hour. Sounds like the guy can swap it out but then their phone system hung up on me. Here's hoping Google has mystical callback powers!
In fact, I don't think any of the Nexus phone has had more storage than the Nexus One was capable of.
Google is doing evil by "strongly encouraging by use of brute force" users to store their data in the Cloud/NSA, where governments and private parties can then inspect that data and figure out what a good/bad citizen you are and then take action based on your political beliefs, sexual preferences, religious beliefs, and race/gender, as they have repeatedly done in the past and continue to do today.
Fortunately, there are a few phones with still support SD cards (SGS4), but I can imagine Google strong-arming them into discontinuing this support.
