The Nexus 4 is finally available in Jordan!(almost 5 months late)
LG-Jordan have been posting alot about the Nexus 4 on their Facebook page, and yesterday ( 3/3/2013) they announced that its finally available in their showrooms. I already have a N4 but I didnt think It would be released here in Jordan officially. Its great news, atleast now if anything happens to my phone i can send it to a local LG service center .
Price is 460 JDs ( = $650). Overpriced ? yes. Am i glad I got it 2 months ago for half the price ? Hell yes.
I hope that this is not old news for everyone.
I am not sure, how reliable this is, but redstar (http://www.redstar.co.jp/google.htm) thinks, that the official announcement/release of the nexus5 will be on october 14th.
They accept pre-orders for just under 50.000 Yen (~380€ / 510US$) and say, they will ship it for that price, even it get's more expensive.
If it costs less, they will refund the difference.

I agree. If it is on the 14th, we would have heard something by now from Google.

Supposedly its the 15th, which is a tuesday. If that is the case, as unlikely as it is, I'll be getting it asap.

Yea, I read that too. But I think that is an announcement date, which would coincide with the end of Oct. release.
the 15th is the day of the announcement..late oct/early nov is the day of launch

yea, no way they'll just drop it on everyone without any media hype at least a couple days before.

Well, last year they had a presser scheduled but a hurricane derailed it so they had a "private" announcement through TheVerge.com and let Josh Topolsky play with the devices and show them on camera.
I imagine it might be something again along those lines with google play store taking pre-orders on the 15th and shipping by month's end.
I should hope there's an announcement before the release. I need to put my nexus 4 on ebay, wait for it to sell, payment to process, etc
Wish I could just afford the phone straight up. Still not going to get a better phone for the price off contract if the 299/399 rumors are true. Really have my fingers crossed that the 32gb coming with a 3000 battery are true, and that the camera on this will be at least as good as the camera on my gs2 was.

I hope too. I hope there will be some youtube live stream to watch, too. I find myself starting to enjoy those. At least as long as they don't contain too much untrue marketing stuff (cough*Note3*cough).
i mean who releases a phone without advertising it?

This is an English forum.
After hearing today that the galaxy gear 2 will be released in March/April, I was thinking of returning my original gear... I got it as a gift for Christmas and have until Jan 15th to return it. I have a feeling the next one will be a lot better and don't want to be stuck with one that I can't sell for half the retail in March... Anyone have an opinion on this or thinking the same way? Just curious... Thanks.
I would not count on the next-generation coming out that quickly. Watch the CES news this week and you will see that Samsung did not announce anything, and if it is only 2 to 3 months away, why wouldn't they have?

If I had the receipt, I would return it! I got it for xmas from my parents. I'm almost certain they paid the full $300 price too. I'm not going to ask my parents to return, or exchange it though. I believe it's the thought that counts when it comes to gifts. My parents hit a home run when it came to picking this out for me. Everyone says "That watch is definitely me" because of my passion for technology and android. But in my opinion this device isn't worth the money spent on it now. I'm not going to rant negative comments about it. But thing about this. The price has drastically dropped since it was just released last year. Imagine how much it will drop when the next version comes out in a couple of months! This thing won't be worth a darn.

It was announced today by a high samsung executive. Google it. It's all over the internet. They said that the s5 and gear 2 would be announced and released like the s4 was last year. The s4 wasn't released at the CES last year either... that's how they roll with the s series.

Agree. I got it from my wife. She couldn't care less. Lol. I think I'll be returning it tomorrow and waiting for the next one. Thanks for your opionion.

I got mine for $150 so I can't complain. If the new one comes out, I'll definitely sell it and get the newer version. Although I am extremely content with this.
absolutely no need to return it. we are months away from the potential release and we don't know any details yet. when it's out i'll see the differences and then decide if it's worth upgrade. somehow i have a feeling that they will remove the camera this time..
I know once the new one comes out and the price for the original drops I'll actually buy it. I've wanted one to go with seanzscreams sky note air n3 rom for the note 2 for a few now but I'm not spending 250-300 on a watch with limited functionality and support. Once it is in the 150-200 range then it'll be worth it for a lot of people.
Did you thank your Developer today?
I have until the 17th to return mine and I think I will. After reading that the gg2 will have lots of extra features and be slimmed down its a no brainer for me.

Not planning on it. Nothing wrong with my Gear so far, and I keep saying that if my G1 still worked I'd still be using it.
Keeping mine also. With null and my note 2 on n3bula I see no reason to return. Just like I'm passing on the note 3. Maybe I'll jump at third generation and note 4. But I look at it this way. There's always going to be the next hot toy. One after another. With all the devs and their amazing work I'm very content to skip a generation. ..

I for one would be HIGHLY pissed off if Sammy came out with a Gear 2 without fulling developing the Gear 1. The Gear at it present state is nothing more than a beta product needing a lot of something else. If this is all it's going to be, I'm gonna be disappointed.
i bought it 2-3 weeks ago and have 30 days to return it. i am going to keep it. it is more than i expected from Round 1 and with NULL and now the Add On Mod i feel it was worth the $300. heck a cheap Fossil costs more than $100 just to tell you the time.
i also would LOVE for the Gear 2 to be released next month or July or asap. if its better i will buy it and sell the Gear 1.
i do not and will not get upset about buying anything electronic for like $300 and then a newer model comes out. its pointless anger and is going to happen whether i like it or not.
bring on G2
Return it.
Sit and wait.
Maybe the gear 2 is available in april.
Then sit and wait until August because it will maybe released a gear 2s.
Then wait 3-4 months for the gear 3.
Have fun waiting for everything fun in life.
Seriously. If you got one and thinking of returning it just to wait for the next generation then I think the gear 2 want live up to your expectations regarding new features.
But we Norwegians don't wait for next version because it dont kost more than filling up the car with gas 2 times.
We change phones very often, but I have to say that there isn't much difference to day when you're using 3rd party launchers and apps.
It's like getting the old phone in slightly different case with little more speed.
The only difference in new phones is that some 3rd party features are adapted into standard, but you already had it on the old phone.
The price in Norway are 390 dollar.
Maybe you can sell it here.

I just may keep mine.
It's a great device. I could see them putting in some kind of a heart monitor, or GPS, maybe a front facing camera? But I don't think you're going to get to radical with it. I'm not sure that they will put in wifi, that will chew up too much battery.
My biggest gripe with this is that it's somewhat heavy, and by the end of the day I do get a little numbness with it on the inside my wrist. Getting something that's a little later would definitely improved comfort.
So my last comment on this is that this is about evolutionary, or revolutionary. And I think the gear 1 is revolutionary! Apple probably going to put out the same crap with the same functionality and charge $500 for it. Gear2 will be evolutionary, with little improvements. Not major. Bigger Change will come in a year or two years, just my 2 cents.

Its definitely worth it. The specifications of the phone and the price, just fantastic.
Can't believe the price. Why would they sell it at such a discount?

I have stopped buying phones from Carphone warehouse becuase all the previous i bought from them are always faulty in few months.
Anyway I'm glad i bought the Nexus 5 from Google play.
I bought one today to replace my launch day handset that I managed to drop and shatter the screen on last night, man alive the screen is warm, my original N5 screen looks ultra white next to it and I thought that screen was warm
awwwwwwwww man bought mine the day after it came out from them for £295 ah well it was worth it
Do they ship internationally?

Thanks much, mate! This cleared things up! Sorry I'm such a terrible lurker
Bought the nexus 5 yesterday at Carphone Warehouse for £240
If anyone reads this and is on the fence about buying the nexus, go for it!!
Ive only used Samsung Galaxy ( an SII and a Note ) for the past few years and before that an iPhone4.
Going from iOS to android was fantastic in itself.
going from the Note to the Nexus 5 - simply jaw dropping.
Quite how they have managed to get such a good device for £300 let alone £240 is amazing.
( done a side by side with the iPhone 5s )
I guess the one and only real downside is the memory at 16gb.
spec wise I cannot get over this phone!
Think I have found my new mobile device home!
