Re: Play Store Version and T-Mobile
The answer to this question is yes.
There will be no "T-Mobile version" or "T-Mobile variant". There is only one North American variant, the XT1103.
It's likely that an update to 5.0 Lollipop is what will add wi-fi calling. It will be a feature added and built into the Lollipop OS. T-Mobile will just happen to be the carrier to take advantage of it first. The feature is in every iPhone with iOS8 for example, but only T-Mobile in the US and EE in the UK have the backend support for it to work properly. This will be the same with Lollipop most likely.
Sprint has added wi-fi calling on select devices, and Verizon/AT&T have said they will add it in 2015, so it only makes sense that wi-fi calling will become a built-in Android feature, set up to work with one or two carriers now but much more in the future, implemented and installed in the same fashion as what Apple did with iOS.

Google Nexus 6 voice and data
anybody know how the Verizon nexus 6 will handle simultaneous voice and data . the 2014 moto x has to have update to volte to be able to do it . since its one model for all of north America I wonder how it will work.

Re: voice and data
Assuming you're on a CDMA carrier, the carrier is going to be the determining factor here. Most of the GSM/International carriers do this already. But for what it's worth, I think I remember rumblings of the CDMA carriers being able to do this soon.

Re: Play Store Version and T-Mobile
I haven't seen anything from T-Mobile or Google confirming this, so must have missed it... Can you provide a link?

Re: Nexus 6 on VERIZON
Has Google confirmed yet that you can the N6 from the play store and activate it on Verizon or is there a separate model?

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware
Sometimes sarcasm and obstinance are hard to tell apart when you can't actually see/hear the person being sarcastic.
Android is an open source OS. Therefore, what is open sourced = Android. Anything that is not open sourced is not "pure Android", but manufacturer addition. The "Google Experience" on Nexus phones is no less a skin of Android than Sense or TouchWiz, it just happens to be the lightest, and in my opinion, best skin.

Re: Nexus 6 on VERIZON
There is only one model. We don't yet know if Verizon will allow a phone from the play store to be activated

It's in twitter. Look up @askdes, he is the product guru for TMO. He's currently using a N6.
@askdes will the T-Mo version come w/ T-Mo branding & preloaded apps unlike the N5 I purchased through Google? I suppose it's courier locked
@Al_Chew unlocked and no pre-loads
Also worth noting, he said TMO will only carry the midnight blue N6.
@askdes looking at a tweet from earlier. So instore availability is blue 32GB and online the 64GB will be available in both colors? #Nexus6
@BigRickz10 Midnight Blue only

Re: Play Store Version and T-Mobile
Excellent! Now there's just the question of whether other carriers will be doing the same and perhaps offering huge subsidy with a 2 year contract, say the $49 possibly from AT&T... with the only other effective costs of acquisition being a month of service (~$70), a $40 activation fee, and a $325 ETF ;-)

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware
And also the only one that allows direct OTA updates straight from Google, who doesn't have that same carrier incentive to cease providing updates to convince people to purchase a new phone.
Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware
The point is, everyone is using Google-developed android OS (Kitkat/Lollipop/etc). In this sense, this is the pure standard. Getting your OS updates straight from the source of the OS (Google) is the purest version. If a carrier was running something other than Kitkat/Lollipop/etc., THEN and only then, could they get away with calling their flavor of android "pure". Otherwise, it's simply a defiled version of Kitkat/Lollipop/etc. I'm looking at you AT&T with your MotoX2!!!
It's like getting all your Windows updates from Dell after they get it first and mess with it and then Dell claiming that you are experiencing Windows the way it was meant to be.

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware
Your original point was that because AT&T put "Pure Android Experience" on their variant of the Moto X (2014) that there would likely be bloat on the Nexus 6 sold by AT&T, and that point is still completely wrong. I'm not saying 100% there will not be bloat, I'm just saying the advertisement of the Moto X using Motorola's language has nothing to do what-so-ever with whether or not there will be bloat on the Nexus 6.

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware
The same lawyers who sued REDBULL claiming that Redbull did not give them wings. Redbull had to pay out $13 million dollars because of it.

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware
Oh really? Wife and I both filled it out. I got $10 bucks for free, she got $15 dollars worth of Redbull products.
Red Bull Settlement
EDIT: So I was off about the "it gave you wings" part, but the settlement is real. Anyways sorry for the derail.

Re: On-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware?
We really need to wait until the Nexus 6 comes on AT&T to see whether it really comes with bloatware. In any case, if being bloatware-free is the top concern, there will always be the option to buy a Nexus 6 directly from Google.

Most of the sites that wrote about it put that in the headline so it looked like the suit actually was over it not giving you wings. Gotta love click bait.

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware
I consider it bloat, because that means it's not stock and thus delays updates. The Verizon Galaxy Nexus was always behind getting updates.
