hey guys i am planning to buy the nexus 5 from US Play Store. Can anybody please tell me whether the nexus devices there are unlocked or not?
All nexus devices unnlocked. If you willing to use nexus 5 bought from us playstore, then you can not use lte/4g networks outside of north america

Not true at all, look at the price tmobile is selling it for. Tmobile is more than Google play. I bought my N4 for 300 at the time before the price cut hapoen and tmobile still charges 400+.

I was wondering if the us and international Roms and kernels are all going to be able to be flashed? I am currently on Sprint and I remember with the galaxy nexus we had to have our own section.

Apart of the radio chip (LTE bands support) all Nexus 5 are the same afaik, so i guess all roms are universaly useable on all devices
Yeah I know that but you active a different radio with Sprint.

There are 2 versions of the Nexus 5. The one used in North America (D820) and the one used in the rest of the world (D821). Whether or not ROMs for one will be usable on the other I don't know, but it doesn't matter if you're using AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile in NA because it's all the same phone.

That's because the Sprint version of the GNex was different than the GSM version sold on the Play Store for T-Mobile and AT&T.

This guy is correct. Unlike the GNex, the N5s being sold for AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint are all the exact same device.
Thanks everybody as that was a big concern are we going to have 2 different forums then?

So on my nexus 4 i could tether everywhere and anywhere and not get charged. Now i got the nexus 5 and its asking me for a tethering plan??
Does it have something to do with the rom? I had a custom one on the nexus4 here im on stock.

Which carrier / country? You may need to update a .db file if you're trying to tether on TMO prepaid.

I am thinking of dropping my grandfathered unlimited data from AT&T and moving to T-Mobile. Is this the forums for the T-Mobile version of the Nexus 5 or all Nexus 5's.

all nexus 5, theres no tmobile nexus 5 xda forums.
All nexus 5's are the same whether you buy it at the T-Mobile store, Sprint store, Google Play or Best Buy. All roms work, all kernels work. No need for more than one forum.

To clarify, there are 2 models of the Nexus 5. D820 for North America and D821 for Rest of the world.
Same ROMs, Same Kernels, NOT same radios.
Hi all. Recently got my hands on the nexus 5 and I was wondering if it comes with LTE/4G? I live in the UK and ordered from Google play store?
