T-Mobile is the second US-based carrier that will start offering the Nexus 5, after the smartphone went on sale yesterday at Sprint.

Those who were not able to secure one of these amazing devices via Google Play Store will have the chance to grab it from T-Mobile, if this is their favorite carrier, beginning November 14.

We have previously reported that T-Mobile will launch the Nexus 5 on November 20, but it looks like the Magenta carrier will start selling the handset several days earlier.

However, according to T-Mobile, Nexus 5 will be available for purchase on November 14 only online, whereas customers will be able to pick up the smartphone from brick and mortar T-Mobile stores and select dealers starting on November 20.

Customers who wish to purchase the Nexus 5 via T-Mobile will have to come up with an upfront cost of only $41.99 down and 24 equal monthly device payments of $17 with T-Mobile's Simple Choice Plan.

That will round it up at $450 (€335), which customers will have to pay in the next 2 years. Keep in mind that T-Mobile only sells the 16GB model, which is available on Google Play store for $350 (€260), but considering that it has been sold out for quite a while, any other deal in this price range should be fine.

The Nexus 5 comes with full LTE support and is powered by the latest Android 4.4 KitKat operating system out of the box. It is equipped with a powerful 2.26 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM and an Adreno 330 graphics processing unit.

There's also an enhanced 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with autofocus, OIS (optical image stabilization), LED flash and full HD video recording, as well as a secondary camera for video calls. No microSD card slot has been included.
