I had a friend of mine get his 5.1M (Tmobile) OTA last night, upstate SC area.

Cool! Hope that's a good sign for me. I purchased from Google Play and am on AT&T.

Did you do any trickery with removing your SIM or wiping data for this app or that, or did the OTA just come?

Got my update yesterday morning. I don't notice any difference, was really hoping to get calling over wifi. My friend's Galaxy S5 has had it since she got the phone. We're both on Tmobile.

Found this on the web. May explain why Verizon non-branded N6s may never get an OTA.

As for who handles updates, it all comes from Google, no matter what. However, Google will withhold updates based on SIM card pending carrier approval. AT&T has not approved Android 5.1 yet, and therefore, anyone with an AT&T SIM card in their Nexus 6, no matter where it was purchased, will not be offered the OTA until AT&T approves it. So far, the only US carriers to approve Android 5.1 are T-Mobile and Sprint.

Same here.

Who is "Des" on Twitter, who said everyone should get the update today?

He is the main product manager at T-Mobile. He usually knows when updates will happen.

I was thinking about this stuff the other day, while waiting for the 5.1 OTA...

I brought my unlocked N6 to AT&T to get a nano SIM. At that time, they took the IMEI number to activate the phone. I wonder, when they entered that number, did that effectively turn my unlocked phone into an AT&T/carrier phone?

In the past, I have bought unlocked phones, simply put my AT&T sim in, and called it a day. I never went to the carrier to register or activate or anything. Just worked right out of the box.

I'm wondering now if bringing the phone to them to "activate" it wasn't a great move, and I woulda been better off just cutting my own sim and leaving AT&T out of the matter...

that's a great question I was wondering the same thing. I am in the same situation

Under the FWIW flag:

Before my OTA update to 5.1 D , my screen showed the carrier to be Cricket [AT&T towers].
After the update the screen shows ATT and in addition has numbers listed for ATT data usage, support...etc.
Point being:
if "D" is for ATT usage phones why do people have to do the "remove sim trick" or other "jump through hoops" in order to get the update?

Link didn't work for me but I believe I found the correct one: [Shocker] Even After Launching The Nexus 6, Verizon Still Won't Officially Activate One That Wasn't Purchased From The Carrier

There is an interesting discussion on XDA:

Received the Nexus 6 yesterday brand new via my business account with O2 UK; upgraded to 5.1 later last night after I'd faffed about getting it to how I wanted with Nova launcher etc...

All hunky dory so far; no issues and its running very slick indeed

Saw a nexus 6 in the vzw store with 5.1. Anybody else have it?

I have a google play N6 that I use an ATT Sim. Just did the T-Mobile Sim trick and it worked like a charm. Now running 5.1

Damn I don't know anyone who uses t-mobile lol.

I'm in the same boat.. Google Play N6 on AT&T.

Now it looks like 5.1.1 could be imminent. Maybe my phone will just skip to that, who knows. Same with my 2013 Nexus 7 for that matter.
