#272As 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
This is the first Nexus phone model available in Italy

Well how could they possibly fix that?
geoip?
GeoIP isn't really a good solution. I work on a large ecommerce site and this comes up from time to time. GeoIP databases are unreliable at best, especially for areas where IPs tend to jump borders (e.g., Toronto and Detroit)

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.
There is definitely a need for high ppi screens as new VR devices like the Oculus Rift come out.
Its quite funny how the smartphone revolution will finally make VR devices viable.

#276I 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'd do GoPhone if you need more coverage than T-Mobile will give you. $60 for 2 gigs isn't bad. And you're on the same APN as post-paid AT&T, so you get full access to LTE, etc.

#2774.95" 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?
Nope. My HTC One, which I love, has a higher DPI. I'm not sure what it matters at that level though. Great will look great.

#278Bah. 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.
The original Nexus 7 was launched with preorders, and it took weeks and weeks and weeks for people to receive their devices. This is functionally no different, they are still taking peoples' orders, they are just being more open about how long it will take for them to receive their devices, and not charging customers until they are shipped.

That's how it looks for everyone outside the US.
You can buy it in Italy too
