Saw that just now. Looks nice, similar to g2 shape but with some characteristics of its own. The camera looks interesting too. smile.gif

I m planning to upgrade, an i'm at uk right now, bored using gnexus with poor performance playing 720p mkv anime...

Before this i was really into LG G2, but the price here is £400 the cheapest, while 32gb model around £440.

everything is more expensive here in uk because of the VAT tax..I managed to get a new logitech mouse from logitech uk for free while logitech malaysia dont really approve my warranty claim.

Still, I compared the price of uk google store of nexus 4 with the nexus 4 in malaysia and nexus 4 in us google store, the nexus 4 in us is cheapest while uk google store nexus 4 and lg malaysia nexus 4 same price.So i think it might be worth it to get a nexus 5 from the google store.

I'm waiting for official price to This phone first, and its official specs. If comparable to G2, and below £250, i would fast grab this phone.

I doubt it will be so cheap.. My guess is about 1.5-1.8k rm.

When some people say starting from 349, i was so surprized, coz LG G2 is selling at 400, but read it one more time, owh... Its in USD, my currency is now GBP, malu seh.

$349 = £216... It is FKing Cheap! Gonna order one soon after it become available in UK.

It will be much more expensive than that in uk. You can compare iphone prices in us and uk, then you'll know the difference. UK have the vat tax..

But I hope im not mistaken cause i think the price will be the same as the price by LG malaysia, judging from what i observe from nexus 4.
Ori set of nexus 4 in malaysia is 1100 now while nexus 4 in play store UK is £200. After convert, it's more or less the same or even cheaper. smile.gif

349 usd in us play store is gona be 299 pound in uk play store if you follow the price of nexus 7 32gb wifi+lte edition. smile.gif

So 299 pound is rm1500 which is quite cheap imo..Not sure whether its 16gb or 32gb edition though..

Last year nexus 4 was released in november. Google also hasn't said anything about nexus5 release date, let alone giving out invitation. You are actually tired of rumours started by those android sites.
*
I blame google and kitkat for all the teasings. Makes me impatient and cannot wait for it.

And my guess for the price of nexus 5 16gb in uk would be £299 .
Cause if the rumour price of $349 for nexus 5 16gb in us is true, then in uk the price would be £299.
(I get to this conclusion through price comparison of nexus 7, in us, its $349, in uk, it is £299.)

If i were to bring some nexus 5 back to Malaysia, how much roughly can I sell it for?assuming price is £299. rolleyes.gif

Does'nt matter. Lowyat.net is not only exclusive to Malaysia n Singapore only. Malaysian student elsewhere in the world also lurking and active.

I'm so high right now... Waiting the N5 launch... And wait for my review guys... Hehe. As long as in these few days i dont spend the money i saved. My budget is under £300 only...

Haha Im waiting for it too. But I'm not sure whether to get 16gb version or 32gb version. sad.gif

My guess would be £299 for 16 gb and £349 for 32gb version. smile.gif

And I'm also torn between n5 and z1. Z1 is a beast phone with beast camera and waterproof while n5 is cheaper by about rm300-500..

My purchase confirmation email also come. The price for 32gb is £348.99, that is including VAT (£58.16), and delivery £9.99...

so costs of my new Nexus 5 32GB is £280.84.... I can claim the VAT later on. I am staying here in UK, so buying from Australia MAYBE more costly.

If you want to claim the VAT tax, you have to leave the Uk within 3 months from the time you buy the product.

I just got the phone today and all i can say is the phone is a huge upgrade from my xperia arc. Everything is perfect so far, except for the power button which will make some rattle sound but i can live with that.

The smoothness is unbelievable. tongue.gif

The only thing i find it not that good is the speaker quite soft, the focusing of camera is quite bad(quite hard to focus correctly) , and the rattle power button.
