Reason I think an announcement is immenent: We're in the calm before the storm

I would bet on the stocking up over the "deeply flawed" scenario. Remember that the hardware is based on the G2 which seems to be just fine. There's a possibility of a major bug or security hole found in 4.4, but "major" bugs don't usually make it this far and can usually be patched up with a few days of hard work by the programmers.

Galaxy Nexus CDMA was based on the GSM Galaxy Nexus which was not flawed and launched right on time, just like they said it would.
 
For the past two months, the Nexus 5 rumors and speculation have been flying fast and furrious. Then, for nearly a week, all has been silent. No one at any major news outlet has written anything about the Nexus 5 since the phone's Play Store page "accidentally" went live last Thursday. All the leaks have stopped, the only posts by AC staff members in this forum are shooting down obviously fake rumors or pointing out cases for sale. In the past, as a device neared launch, leaks have increased. To me, this reeks of NDA's. I would be willing to bet that most major news outlets have a Nexus 5 so they can post reviews shortly after the announcement, and so are under NDA and are not talking about the Nexus 5 anymore.

I also was just thinking about the same thing. The last leak was the Google Play sighting and am really hoping that means this Thursday will at least announce the phone. Sure it's a really big leap that it will happen, but one can dream. I also was even thinking that the Halloween release date might happen. I am really hoping it's by month's end.
 
Tomorrow would be awesome and Halloween would be acceptable :-!

I am looking forward to see if it will be available for Sprint as some rumors have said. More so I am hoping for a Nexus Watch to be released!

They're not really rumors. Rather it supports all of Sprint's bands, including all three of their LTE bands.
 
Seriously, there hasn't been an invite or any announcement.
You all need to settle in for a patient wait if you want a Nexus.

Sorry for yanking your chains above, too. I'm just messing with you since this seemed to be the thread to start false rumors.
 
Everyone loves the rumours.
Phil got it early last year, hopefully the same rings true :)

Kids:"Daddy let's go trick or treating! " "Sorry kids! Daddys gotta stay here and snipe a new Nexus!"

The GSM Galaxy Nexus was a nice phone. I bought one from Handtec because I couldn't wait. I ended up with both the CDMA & GSM models and liked the GSM model better. It took Google a long time to start selling the GSM model directly on the play store. I remember they started that sales model by offering the Gnex at a reduced price along with the new Nexus 7.

I like the way they're doing it now but, like many on here hope they have enough stock this time.
 
i feel like we're at the mercy of one of Google's mathematical computerized algorithms that's dictating every detail of this excruciating launch process. the artificial intelligence algorithm decided X, Y, and Z leaks....and now a silent period for us - all based on collections of data from the internet. we're all just like lab rats in a cage given stimuli to see how we react based on our feedback - and we don't even know it.

Start an internet revolt and spam it with words like "I'm tired of waiting for the Nexus 5 so I just bought a Iphone5s". Maybe we can freak it out

Speculation and rumors are not the same thing. Rumors require you to present your opinion as fact. Speculation is saying "Based on X Y and Z, I think XXX"
 
I think it's so obvious it isn't that they all release kit kat and n5 on Halloween. It's too simple. Kit kat, Halloween, android. Everyone loves candy on Halloween. I think we are overthinking this and missing an obvious perfect date.
 
The wait is getting quite long, google seems to always do this and as much of a fan that I am their ''launch'' methods really aggravate me. I remember when they were going to release the galaxy nexus they had a big event planned and then canceled it due to respect for the passing of Steve Jobs and then launched it privately. To be frank I also believe that all the leaks are done intentionally by google to steer up talk about their device. Regardless I really want them to announce it already so I can purchase it :)!
