Nexus 4 Original Launch Plan

October 12, 2012 - Google sends out invites for an Oct 29 Android Event*
October 29, 2012 - Nexus 4 Announced
November 13, 2012 - Nexus 4 For Sale

*Cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy

Just a nitpick but Sandy happened around the 29th so that event was the one I think got cancelled.

So basically what we'd think is no Nexus 5 release until some event is announced. Would seem weird for them to just put it up on the Play store without much fanfare. Guess not this week.

So they usually give around a month before release. Probably to stock up and get the orders packaged and sheeeiitttt

I stand corrected!

I predict invites go out tomorrow for an event on the 24th for a release in early to mid november. Id love to be wrong and have it come sooner. I'm itching to get my hands on it.

I hope the gubment shutdown isnt delaying it due to FCC issues.

Tomorrow is Ad Age in San Francisco. All the tech shows today chose to 'talk about it' and I don't know why...

But google at core is an advertising company.

I'm content with anything less worse than the VZW Galaxy Nexus release.
Which sets the bar pretty low for competence, lol

 

[Gekko]

so it looks like they are following something close to this plan in 2013 for the Nexus 5 -

Sometimes I wish there was no rumors, no leaks, no projected dates to make you crazy when it doesn't happen. Gimme a good ol fashion surprise.

No question to many people speculating on nothing really...plus now people get angry because it was not released with comments like "I thought they were releasing it on the 14th" etc.

It will happen soon, everyone needs to just be patient. We all know its coming a few weeks plus or minus is not going to make a difference. I am glad I am going on vacation for a week so ideally when I return will have some news.

Its fun to speculate but it definitely becomes unhealthy when people start getting angry.

maybe invites go out tonight?

 

[skippyrulzzz]

Well... Apple just announced an event on the 22nd. So now the question becomes do they announce without an actual event BEFORE Apple or announce at an event AFTER Apple.

Is the phone or kitkat not being announced today?

If it's not today, I think the next rumored date was actually Oct. 31.

AGGG that Samsung 4 is looking better and better. So sick of waiting for a ghost.
