4.95" 1920x1080 display (445 ppi), it reads. Does those specs make this phone the one with highest DPI ever? It is certainly above retina display, right?
The ppi race is the new megapixel race. Who needs pixel perfection 200 ppi beyond what the human eye can perceive? No one. But the show must go on.

I have a G1, does that count? :)
aiaf is likely talking from a relative perspective, and the G1, Nexus One, Galaxy Nexus S...they all were somewhat in line with contemporaries. The Nexus 4 was a massive regression compared to its kin.
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

my friend working at Samsung, tells me internal joke, that there must be a very well paid guy at Google HQ whos sole responsibility is to figure out how to cripple Nexus devices (micro SD slot, battery) and distribution (limited rollout to only bunch of countries) in order to NOT alienate other Android manufacturers.
Most people don't seem to care. I care, but I still bought a Nexus 5 because it's barely over half the price of most anything comparable.

It's insane that this phone has a better screen than a great deal of laptops for sale these days. The laptop manufacturers need to get with the program :-/
I just ordered one, but I'm currently on Verizon. What does everyone think is the best way to go in terms of non-contract carriers for the N5? Heard some good things about Straight Talk, but also read that their customer service is horrible.
I think their data cap is around 2GB, but I've never come near that. What are you guys who are breaking 5GB caps doing with your phones anyways? The plan is unlimited voice, which is nice, since TMobile's 100min voice can be a little limiting sometimes.

T-Mobile has non-contract plans. http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans Scroll alllll the way down to the bottom, look for the $30/month plans. They include 5 GB of data per month at 4G speeds, after that you're throttled. I've never come anywhere near to hitting that limit, so I don't know what the throttle is. You can order a SIM card online, or pick one up in a store. http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/p…
Any chance of a Nexus 3 for people who don't want a tablet in their pocket?
If they weren't so expensive, I'd rather have the much smaller iPhone 5S than a Nexus 5, but the price is so cheap I can't really justify going with Apple.
There was a time when I was on-board with the large-screen phone trend, but now that I have a tablet that I take pretty much everywhere, I don't really need a gigantic smartphone in addition to it.

$349/$399 isn't the price before taxes? I'm not American so I'm not sure, but I think prices in America are always listed before taxes, while they're listed after taxes in Europe. This makes it still cheaper in the USA than in Europe, but the margin is way smaller.
You are of course right, but I'm not sure if people in the US ordering over the internet actually pay sales tax on devices ordered from the google play store. It might depend on what state they're in though.

I had straight talk for a bit. If I used more than 2GB of data in a month they would threaten to cancel my service. I'm not sure how much you use but that's something to be wary of. Otherwise, my service was fine. They didn't do LTE at the time so I was stuck with 3G.
