Luxembourg? Switzerland?
pretty sure it's ireland for tax purposes.
Given that they have at least 3,000 people working in Ireland, I think it's disingenuous dismiss it entirely as for tax purposes.

#292Any chance of a Nexus 3 for people who don't want a tablet in their pocket?
The Nexus 5 is actually physically smaller in all dimensions than the Nexus 4.

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…
Do you know if T-Mobile has improved in the Phoenix area? The website shows 'excellent' coverage around here, but all I read online is horror stories of not having any signal in buildings etc. Apparently they wanted to work on that in the last 6-10 months, but I haven't heard anything about it since.
I travel all around the valley, and rarely ever have any signal issues with T-Mobile, in the places I do have issues Verizon phones are the only ones with signals.
Where I live(Sun Dance) Verizon phones have little to no signal while I have 3-4 bars.

I've been on Straight Talk since I got a Galaxy Nexus over a year ago. Their customer service isn't great, but I never really have to deal with them. Just drop in the SIM, set up auto-pay, and blacklist their spammy reminder texts, and it's fine. 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,…
I'm on Straight Talk and got flagged by their system. Went 1 day without data access, a few days with limited connection (very slow) and a few weeks later they disabled my hotspotting ability. I was using my phone as a wifi hotspot since I don't have internet at home.
That would be what their flagging is set up to catch...

#295They have this seemingly new sensor called "Hall Effect". Anyone knows what does it do?
Re: Nexus 5
#296Just a tip: Make sure you are logged into your Google account. Until I logged in it was showing as "Out of Stock".
32gb black was available when only the 16gb white was available previously.
edit: Also note that mine is a Google Play Dev Account, which may or not affect availability.

The Nexus 5 is actually physically smaller in all dimensions than the Nexus 4.
Nexus 5: 69.17 x 137.84 x 8.59 mm [1]
Nexus 4: 68.7 x 133.9 x 9.1mm [2]
It's wider, taller but half a mm thinner.

They vary voltage in response to a magnetic field. Among other things they're used to detect current in a wire without interrupting the circuit.

Measures ambient magnetic fields, presumably to work with accessories such as cases or docks, etc.

#300As 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 standard joke is that Google's idea of a worldwide rollout is "Now including Oakland!"
