There is a Google Play event in NYC on the 24th at 7pm, so 12am Sat morning for us.
My completely uneducated prediction for this event is they may announce new countries that devices are launching in, before a separate launch event for the N5. Here's hoping Ireland gets devices soon

That thought had occurred to me as well since this is billed as a google play event and they have denied there will be any hardware announced at it. I think they may well though just be unveiling new features of google play services which they are using now to roll out new features to core services rather than bundling them in a 4.4 type release. Play Store itself may well be revamped as well. I hope new markets for devices, movies, etc do feature (only if it includes us though!), but it would be a secondary announcement if so.Hmmm might have a look at that. Is it chrome, chrome beta or both? And did you do a complete uninstall of Chrome, or is just when it's in use?
It was just chrome, not the beta even though I've heard the beta is better. I think the phone memory just can't really hack it, and given the fact that the higher powered tablet has no issues at all with lag on it makes me think it is just too resource intensive. It works better briefly if I clear all the cache and data from the app, but that improvement doesn't last long. I did uninstall it as well, mostly just so that things from twitter, etc didn't launch there automatically. The stock browser on the GN is fairly decent anyhow I find, but a better processor and more RAM would be very welcome by me, not to mention the better and slightly bigger screen.0 -

Saying that though, Italy was randomly added to devices last month without any fanfare, so maybe I'm just dreaming :pac:
Most likely it will be an update to play services, showing that they can update the whole userbase at once without them having to be on the latest version of android.
Then, when 4.4 drops, it'll be a complete anti-climax! Here's your new version of android lads, now shut up and install it already!

I only use Chrome beta. but I might get rid of both and return to stock and see if it helps, thanks.
I'm worried by the supposed battery size of the new N5. Unless there are significant software efficiencies in kitkat, it's not a great leap forward. I had to buy an extended battery pack for my GNex, which is grand battery wise, but uglifies a pretty phone.
My sis bought the S4 at the weekend and I was fooling around with. Although I prefer pure Android generally, the phone is pretty nice (including some of the "bloat"ware). High price point though, especially if, like me you are coming at outside of a contract.0 -
