I'm hoping in the battery page of 5.1, google goes back to how it displayed the battery charge time as in previous versions of android. I like seeing the time use since fully charged, instead of time remaining with dates and all that. Kind of hard to read in my opinion. Much easier to read when it says 1 day 5 hours since unplugged in my opinion.

Does anyone know if the Motorola unlicked version will get WiFi calling on T-Mobile? I know the T-Mobile one will but I'm not sure if there is a way for the unlocked one to do the same thing.

Software updates are expected to be the same for all Nexus 6 devices (regardless of where it was purchased from). If it is active on T-Mo with a T-Mo SIM, it should get the same update (regardless of whether it was purchased from T-Mo or from Play store or from Motorola)

Write it down. Verizon's N6 will ship with 5.0.1 and won't get 5.1 until mid to end Q2.

Culled from the Interweb:

"Android 5.1 release date has not been officially announced. However, according to a recent report, Google has silently started with the release of the Android 5.1 Lollipop update. The new build is expected to come preloaded in some of the low-end Android One handsets in Indonesia. Moreover, test builds of Android 5.1 Lollipop has been spotted for Nexus 5, Nexus 6 and Nexus 9. Fresh rumours claim that the Moto G 2014 too will be blessed with the new software update very soon.

Among all the major smartphone brands, Motorola is now known for quickly rolling out Android updates to its users. Fresh news coming from*Tech Droider*claims that one of their followers has emailed them a leaked photo of Moto G 2014 running on Android 5.1 Lollipop. It has a build number of LXY22E and it is dated Feb 2.

The new software update is expected to bring back the axed feature of silent mode. Moreover, it is going to arrive with some additional features optimised memory and battery management, connectivity issues with Wi-Fi and many more."

I'd say it may be before the end of the First Quarter for currently released devices.
Just a guess.
