I LOVE my Nexus 4 (running on Straight Talk) and can't wait to upgrade to the Nexus 5. The Nexus 4 has been my single favorite Android smartphone EVER. And I've previously owned a host of Android smartphones. Most of them just didn't work as well as advertised. The Nexus 4 does. Previously I had a Galaxy Note, for example, which I absolutely hated. It had all kinds of lag and performance issues, and I really hated ge…

Amazon is annoying in the opposite way. Even if you're logged in, they give no indication at all that they won't ship something to you until you actually try to buy it. Very irritating when comparing several options to have to add every one to the cart to check that you can actually buy it before wasting the time of considering it too carefully.
When I'm logged in on Amazon I get a warning next to the product price that I can't ship it to my default location.
Maybe it's only Amazon Fulfillment items that do this?

If you're happy with your Nexus 4 why would you waste money on a 5?

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)

But they wouldn't need to use it for anything critical. Just for a message like, "It appears that we can't ship this to your current location: Calgary, AB, Canada . Please _log in_ to check availability to your shipping address," or something along those lines.
At least I know right now that I have to log in all the time to be sure I can safely add items to my cart

Works for me in Australia, shows our currency also...
Unfortunately it shows the 32gb version as $150 more expensive than the US version (at 449AUD or 426.51USD at today's rate). Plus they charge more for postage.
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
Oh well. Apple seems to have no issue with me going to their US store and purchasing for my US address.
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'm in a major city (so coverage is good on most networks), but T-Mobile has a $30/mo, pay-as-you-go plan for unlimited text/data and 100 minutes of talk (which isn't a problem if you use something like Google Voice).
