Google Nexus 6 on T-Mobile

Re: T-mobile has them on the floor

Google search can now listen to 'ok google' on any phone, when phone is on or charging.

But on some devices Moto phones and Nexus, it can also have always on mode even if phone is not charging. The Note 4 should also have this since its part of 805 but I haven't seen any review mention it.

I think it's because it's part of the new app and I'm not sure it's been released for other phones yet. I was just pointing it out because that Tony kid points out his coveted Nexus 6 can do the "On Google" thing.

Re: T-mobile has them on the floor

Are you positive they have up for sale?

It sounds like some stores are doing it early, try calling or going in to the ones around you to check. The girl I asked said with no hesitation yesterday that they were selling the devices right then and there

I've seen a few post claiming the store was willing to sell them one right there and right now and no one has ever said "Yeah I bought it" and posted pictures that they had one...

both T-Mobile stores close to work and home flat out said "11/19" no exceptions... but I have seen people get one ahead of time.. Not sure if someone eventually got in trouble for selling it early but the stores around me seem to be pretty strict on that 11/19 date...

Good luck to all of you guys.... They've also told me the demand is through the roof and if I wanted to pick one up 11/19 to be there early or call ahead.
 
Re: T-mobile has them on the floor

Yeah honestly if I was with T-Mobile I would've picked it up, but also would've felt like I was getting away with something I shouldn't be and the employee would take the fall for it. Worst case I hope everybody can wait for Wednesday and there's enough to go around, I'm hoping Best Buy on Friday ends up working out for Sprint like it will for AT&T.

Well I have called several T- Mobile stores and they have stated that they have them in stock but can't sell them because they're not listed in their system as of yet but that they'll be available tomorrow or on the 19th... So people that received theirs today may just have an expensive 6 inch paper weight until they are listed in carriers systems or at least Sprints systems.

Not in the system could just refer to selling and not activating. Can activate anything pretty much any time. So Google play and Motorola buyers who have them can activate now.

Re: T-mobile has them on the floor

Went to a tmobile store on that list today and they didn't have it. Said that they won't be on display until wednesday at their store or others. Sigh.

I am ditching t-mobile so why would I buy one from them? They had a note on the front door that they are selling it though

Re: T-mobile has them on the floor

Found a store that has the demo unit out in Schaumburg, going to check it out. My play store order isn't shipping till the 21st if I'm lucky. The screen will make or break it for me so I mine as well find out now while I can still cancel the order.
 
Re: T-mobile has them on the floor

So I had a chance to play with it. This device it WIDE. I don't think anyone quite knows why Google chose this size, but it's a device that will tire your hand. It seemed a bit awkward and top heavy with the upper half thicker than the lower half. The curved back helps it feel good in the hand, but this is a two handed device for 98% of people. If you're one to lay your phone down one a desk and interact with it, forgettaboutit. This thing spins like a top and wobbles like a dreidel. The screen is ok. If you don't hold it up to another phone. It's dim and very warm. Even the T-Mobile associate was shocked when we loaded chrome side by side on the nexus and my 6+. The nexus was 100% with auto off and my 6+ was at 75% and it couldn't hold a candle to it. If anyone disliked the G3 for its screen, don't even bother with the 6. The camera is much improved so I think everyone will really be happy with it for the most part. Let's be honest, people don't buy Nexus devices for the camera but this one is good. Unfortunately I think the average consumer won't make it past the size to find that out.

Nexus 6 - Which T-Mobile Stores

Does anyone know if all stores will be selling the Nexus 6 on Wed., Nov 19 or if it will only be the ones on that limited list they had last week and use every so many releases, the ones in the larger markets?

Some reps in the store didn't know, not that I would expect them too. Most of the time members of the forums know more, which is the reason asking here.

Thank You

You will be shocked to hear this but... I have to say it... The Nexus 6 I received through the mail was waaay brighter on max then the one I checked out twice at T-Mobile. When I first turned on the phone I went through the setup, after the setup it asked me to download a system update which I assume is the reason why its waay brighter now.
