Nexus 5 release date and price

The Nexus 5 release date is allegedly set for the last week of October and the latest teasers point to the end of October/beginning of November for the announcement date. We've lastly heard November 1st for the announcement date. The phone is said to launch almost immediately after the official announcement.

Best of all, Google is expected to keep the extremely low price of its Nexus smartphone line and the Nexus 5 will cost $350 off contract. This is the price for the basic 16GB model in black, and black will likely be the only color available at launch. That's nearly "half the price" of other flagships like the iPhone 5s, and just as earlier rumors promised.
