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

It's not just Nigeria. And I agree. The way Google does this with an error page for non serviced locations feels really off. It's not how the web is supposed to work. Not shipping to other countries is bad enough. This is rude. Google should just put these things on Amazon.
I'd like to get rid of these stupid borders.

That has always been the case, but is not so today. Google Play knows where I am as it offered the Nexus5 in Japanese Yen. Nevertheless I successsfully installed Google Voice just now.
Can you set it up? I've always been able to install the APK, but if you don't already have a GV number, it wants to send an SMS to a real phone number as part of the setup, and that number needed to be American.

Google really loves their geolocation. It's a bit absurd that when I'm signed in to Google, they still try to give me sites in German, Czech or Swedish based on my location when I've expressed my preference for English in my account settings (not to mention the browser's Accept-Language header). I'm guessing here, but I think there might be some correlation between people who travel internationally a lot and people w…
I used X11 forwarding over SSH to run a browser on my VPS Running a browser remotely in that way can be quite painful. Running Firefox locally you can tell it to use a socks proxy on localhost:1080 after connecting to your VPS with "ssh -D 1080". You may also want to set the about:config setting network.proxy.socks_remote_dns to true. Or you could use VPN software, but that's more to setup, and you already have ssh a…

I don't understand why would that be, I've got my google account in English, I've got a UK-based address added to it,as well as a UK-based billing address. I don't understand.

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. [1] http://www.google.com.au/nexus/5/ [2] http://www.google.com.au/nexus/4/
It only got one major OS upgrade since launch, which is less than most regular Samsung phones (which typically receive two).
Basically, Google's flagship phone wtih 1GB RAM just got dumped on. By Google. As they launch Android 4.4 which "should run great on devices with just 512MB ram".
That's just outright offensive. Buying whatever Nexus is out there when I needed a new phone has always been a no-brainer. Not so anymore.
