Neato. Unfortunately, the pricing means it's a bit more than I can justify when I have a perfectly serviceable Galaxy Nexus. If it were seventy-five bucks cheaper I'd buy one right away and give my wife my old phone. At these prices, she won't fall for it though.

Looks good, comes with timely updates, and costs a fraction of what similar phones cost. Honestly, I don't see any reason for anybody to buy an S4, HTC One, iPhone or similar. |

So was it actually called the "Nexus 5" ?

1. a removable battery and SIM 2. a microSD slot with at least 64GB capacity 3. USB audio enabled out of the box 4. 24/96-192k audio (not on the S4, but on the Galaxy Note 3 and LG G2). Gorgeously designed, compellingly full-featured and ingeniously priced, the Nexus 5 (or a later iteration) might be the cleverphone I choose when next I'm in the market, but brand/product agnosticism is one of the best things about Android specifically and the current smartphone market generally. We have lots of excellent choices. That said, I'm grabbing a Nexus 5 the moment there's a significant sale (i.e., when the new model's ready!).

If it's $349 for the 16gb & $400 for 32gb. That is what I paid for a used 16gb 5.5 inch screen Note 2 from Amazon. With an added in 16gb card I'm up to 32gb with the option to get a larger card. Like TM this will keep me going for several years.

Nice, but it's getting a bit pricey. I would have liked to see the 16 GB model for $250 rather than $350.
At any rate, I just got a Nexus 4 16 GB, so I should be good to go as far as phones, provided I don't break it. |

I don't like the new transparency. It's a bit weird.

CDMA is the big deal in the Nexus 5, at least for me. The ability to use the phone with Ting, and a price that is half that of the other newer phones, makes it a no-brainer for a new superphone. Nexus 4 won't work on Sprint service.
