A crazy part of me thinks the Nexus 5 will shock everyone and debut at $199 on the Play Store. Reason? The Nexus 4 is STILL listed at the same $199/$249 price points with the text "Please check back soon" despite being out of stock and Google stating they have no intentions of restocking it. Why would they tell you to check back soon while keeping the price listings up if they didn't intend to maintain those prices for the next release? Last time this happened when the GNex dropped from $400 to $350, the Nexus 4 debuted at the same price. We'll see.
That is probably the silliest thing I've ever heard. No chance the N5 launches at $199, come on! Especially with their comments on a focus on quality, like a better camera and stuff.
They will release a $199 Nexus 5 why, so they can compete with the $550 iPhone 5C?
The $199/249 was a clearance price on the N4, and the "check back soon" is because they may or may not have more inventory to clear out on the Google store vs. retail channels.
