Yup, you can do that. Nexus devices come unlocked and cannot be locked by carriers, though I'm wondering why you would do this?

The Nexus 5 is 99 bucks for a two year deal at Rogers, if you get that you're locked into the deal regardless. Why not just get it from Googleplay and either keep your old deal without having to upgrade or bring it to Rogers and you might get a bring your own device discount.

350 for wireless freedom or 100 for the pleasure of having a new two year deal. I'd much rather spend the extra 250 and be able to use the unlocked feature.

Right now with my iPhone I have an alarm clock docking station that I use everyday. Are there any good alarm clock docking stations for the Nexus 5? I don't know if just the phone itself would be loud enough to consistently wake me so some added speakers would be nice.
Shouldn't be a problem, the dock isn't something I've ever bought but I've seen plenty of micro usb docks when going into the various stores.
