Re: At what time will the Pre Orders start?
At $650, I would be shocked if they sold out in one day. If the iPhone could only be purchased outright it would never sell out.

This. It will ship for delivery on 11/12 (the street date). Some will get it on 11/11 b.c of shipping mistakes.

Re: Are Oct 29 pre orders for unlocked full priced version only?
Damnit if we are buying a phone outright, $650 up front, we deserve it early!

Re: At what time will the Pre Orders start?
I swung by best buy on my way home from work... Cashed in my reward zone points for a $100 play store gift card I just loaded to my play store account..... I think the Google play store also does an amazing job with returns or replacements devices if you have an issue... Plus they were allowing people to get a replacement Nexus 5 free if you busted your screen..... (Although I saw where Verizon will replace your droid turbo screen once in the first two years)
Not worth saving $20 buck to wait until November 12 to order from a carrier.... Unless the Google play devices don't ship until November 11/12 then it's kind of a wash....

Re: At what time will the Pre Orders start?
"Selling out" is going to completely depend on how many devices they have set for the preorders.... I hope you are right and I don't have to be refreshing my screen all day waiting for the preorders to go live.... but at the same time I wouldn't be shocked..... Even at the higher cost and size... it might sell better than people expect...

Re: At what time will the Pre Orders start?
Expect probably 1/3 as many nexus 5 preorders. I'm sure the website will take a hit, but $650 is a hard pill to swallow for a lot of people

Re: At what time will the Pre Orders start?
I think that will probably be true. But I never underestimate the power of american people who want something to come up with the money for it. We live in a materialistic society now. I know am guilty of it.

6" screen, niche. Nexus phone, niche. Only available through the play store at $650 tomorrow, niche.
True, but a niche product priced at the flagship level (which it should be) will rule a lot of potential buyers. I fully expect to get one on launch day if I order at any time tomorrow.

Re: Google Nexus 6 Canadians may not be able to pre-order on the 29th?
So I received the following reply from Google.
"At this time Nexus 6 is not available on Google Play in your country. If a device was recently announced in your country, but is not yet available for sale on Google Play, please check back again soon!"
Looks like this will be like the nexus 4 launch for Canada.

Re: Google Nexus 6 Carrier pricing / pre orders
BestBuy will match the PlayStore price, at least they did with the Nexus 5. They sold the Nexus 5 as a "Sprint" phone but it is/was the same model as the PlayStore version as there was only one US version. Just take the Sprint SIM out and pop in an AT&T SIM and you were good to go.
The only down side is that Google does not treat a phone purchased anywhere else but direct from them the same way meaning if you had issues then you needed to deal with the retailer you purchased from or your carrier so YMMV with a carrier phone.
There is also some question as to whether a Nexus 6 from a carrier will be free from carrier interference based on ArsTechica.
I can't link to it as I don't have enough posts. But just look on the main Ars page under the article "Unwrapping Lollipop: Ars talks to Android execs about the upcoming OS"
The following is from that article:
"As such, we asked if history would repeat itself with these new carrier Nexus devices. "I don't think we're going to do that. There is carrier testing that has to happen—you can't get away from that—but we're trying to have our updates be frequent," Burke said. "I think the carriers are learning and realizing that's a feature they want. So I think these are getting more efficient and they're getting better at it."
So it sounds like carrier Nexus devices will lag behind the unlocked versions, as they will have an additional carrier testing step. The hope this year is that the carriers wise up and won't delay things too much, but the potential for a delay is there."
Whether that is the case is to be seen.
