Android rush

Apparently, Google's latest flagship phone Nexus 5 was listed on Google Play store for a short period of time as a result of an error. There was no option to order the device whatsoever, it was just an image of the new phone plus description of the item with the price tag of $349 for the 16gb version. So it looks like the price won't be any different from the Nexus 4.

Also, all the leaks regarding the UI of the new Android 4.4 Kitkat seem to be true as the image reveals both transparent status bar and navigation bar.

Every new day we're getting closer and closer to the official release of Nexus 5!
