The Nexus 4 dropped $100 new from Play store in late August 2013, 10 months after the late October 2012 formal announcement.

The Nexus 5 announced late October 2013... so it's price drop is....?

If Nexus 6 is announced 5 months from now then Nexus 5 drops to $299 for 32GB model in late August?

possibly. the gnex also dropped in price when the n4 was about to be released. but the nexus before that, didnt drop in price. so, possibly, or maybe not. but for sure no one here will be able to answer that, as only google knows.

We don't even know if the Nexus 6 will exist.
Reminds me of the Nexus 10 replacement, never happened on the anniversary, nor 6 months after that...

I would say though the Nexus 5 is due a price drop, it began happening with the Nexus 10, new ones comining up at about 60%-70% of the price on Play store. I've not seen that sort of price drop for Nexus 5.

Nexus line supposedly being replaced with the "silver" program. Search for it on Androidcentral.

If there will be a nexus 6 now we will have to go to carriers and beg them to give us a two year contract unless its T-Mobile then same ol same ol so we can get a stock android device

I also purchased one because of the rumors of no more Nexus line. 32gb in white :)
I always buy with a view to selling. Fewer Reds bought as its newer so ~ 1 yea from now my "mint" N5 will have fewer sellers to compete with.

My N5 $385 new 32gb goes with my N7 2013 32gb (refurbished $170) and my N10 32gb (refurbished $278).

What also made me pull the trigger is I spent a lot of time yesterday having to work stood up and moving on my N4 and just don't want a bigger than that form factor in my hand but do need fast cpu and memory, just a little taller than my N4 is all I need. These other high-spec are losing the plot on hand size. If I want a bigger screen I just bluetooth tether my N7 and use it two-handed.
