Any news on the nexus 10 refresh? Either that device does not exist or google and asus have done an exceptional job keeping a lid on it.

#825in screen... Man. I'm quite content with my 4.7'' screen. Why are we slowly and steadily moving the sizes of our phone screens up? A year or two ago we were happily at 4.3
I believe the device itself is smaller, they've just thinned the bezel and made the screen use the entire front surface of the device.

#83As 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
I live in the country that their EU Headquarters is based. They won't sell any hardware to me either.
Re: Nexus 5
#84Ordered one even though I didn't really NEED a new phone...
Re: Nexus 5
#85Sold Out! wow
it seems to be intermittent... sometimes both black and white version of 16gb show as out of stock, sometimes (like now) both show Nov 8th. Probably sessions that people left open and didn't buy.
I think you are right, I was able to purchase it a few minutes ago, I think they'll all be gone shortly though
Re: Nexus 5
#86So the device is unavailable in Canada. Is this going to be another Nexus 4 debacle, with nowhere near enough stock to meet demand? If so, how long until we get another "email me when there's more in stock" app?
The device was available for about 20 minutes before running out. Sounds identical to the Nexus 4 so far...
The 32gb version is still available.

I think that the overall phone size is rather constant, but the bezel on the side of the screen are constantly shrinking, allowing larger screens without transforming the phone into a tablet (yet).

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.
They do put them on Amazon. Then you get to the checkout, and Amazon tells you you're not allowed to ship it to where you live if you're outside of Google's allowed territories.
That's why I had to send my sister in the UK money to get my hands on my Nexus 4... annoying, and stupid.
Re: Nexus 5
#89It's quite depressing that a 350$ phone will probably translate to 460€ in Belgium and the Netherlands. That's 626$ if you use the official exchange course between euro's and dollars. We don't have phones on Google Play. EDIT: Strike that, it's dropped to 399€, that's still 543$.
I can't be the only one thinking $350 for a phone you'll get rid of or hopefully trade-in in two years, is still a lot of money. Firefox, get your ass in gear and improve your OS!

No. The 16GB black sold out temporarily.
All models are currently available (72 minutes after launch), but with a "leaves warehouse by 11/8" instead of 11/5 ship date.
