| 1358576 | 2013-11-05 23:18:00 | Extra points question: Does the Australian Nexus 5 have the NZ 700mHz band built in? I wouldn't want to buy a 4G phone that only had the 800 band... What will you do with your 4 Jo? |

| 1358577 | 2013-11-05 23:28:00 | What will you do with your 4 Jo? Haven't really decided to upgrade just yet - the N4 is still a pretty sweet phone and will no doubt get the KitKat goodness in due course. The only real benefit as far as I can see is the 4G - not really a dealbreaker for me. I get pretty good reception and speeds with XT wherever I am anyway.... If I did upgrade, I would either give the N4 to my daughter or sell it on TradeMe... |

| 1358579 | 2013-11-05 23:43:00 | Yes it does have the 1800 band use here.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 1358580 | 2013-11-05 23:46:00 | Yes it does have the 1800 band use here.. But does it also have the 700 band (the important one for out-of-townies)? |

The reason I asked was My Mem sahib seems to prefer the type that you turn a handle to make a call, I was hoping to pass on to here and have the latest, of which I use about 1% of its capacity. |

Telecom was trailing the US 700 Meg band but it won't be used in the released product.. Guess you'll have to wait until the Nexus 6 for the AP 700 band. |

| 1358585 | 2013-11-07 03:08:00 | Nice, that's a N5 port. There's also a few AOSP ports already running quite happily too (I think ParanoidAndroid did the first semi-decent one almost a week back now on Sat?) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
