Google Nexus 6 Preorder Info & Reviews

Re: Canadians may not be able to pre-order on the 29th?

I was trying to find it but I had read an article that said only US Customers would be able to preorder on October 29 and "Other" countries would follow shortly in early November..... In that same article it said something along the lines that Europe and the UK were looking early December (all rumors mind you)

re: Is the Google Nexus 6 being delayed in the UK?

Would this happen with Apple? No, so why cant Google get its act together with its manufacturer of choice to showcase Android on the Nexus range? Stinks of ineptitude to me, and if these reports are true then its not a great advertisement for the Nexus range moving in to the premium market to compete with Apple (and for reference I never have, and never will, purchase an Apple product).

B.S. LOL! My dad bought an iPhone 6+ at release. He's getting it this week because it was sold out. Another friend got her iPhone 6 three weeks after release because it was sold out. Apple's no better at meeting heavily hyped demand than Google.

Cant be true, carphone warehouse has the phone saying expected in november. They also updated their coming soon page at the same time as US carriers did. They dont usually update that far in advance especially if this phone is coming to the UK in december

Yeah like I said.... rumors..... I've seen the Carphone warehouse video.. They have at least one in stock... lol......

No clue what could hold it up though.... Unless Google just wants to deliver to US/Home customers first???? would be weird though... Just kick back and wait for it to officially drop..... wish they'd go ahead and take preorders NOW......

Way to jinx us

I don't think it will be an issue this time around as the carriers are the more "convenient route" if people don't have the funds or simply do not want to drop such a large amount of money at once via the Playstore.

Let me check and I'll get back to you in the future... I'm waiting for the Doc. He had to go get a new flux capacitor.

The only issue with that is carriers may not have the 64 GB option. I know T-Mobile will.

Re: Canadians may not be able to pre-order on the 29th?

when I called google support I was told it was coming to Canada and the US for preorder on the same day.
She could've been wrong, but she was not sure at first and had to check her recourses to confirm, and still believed it to be true.

I plan on ordering a Nexus 6 on release day at full retail. Is there any advantage to ordering from one store versus another (ie Google, Motorola, Amazon, AT&T, etc)?

If they sell it on Amazon on 10/29 that would be the best bet to me. Google Play next and At&t last.

Yes.

Some sellers will charge shipping, some will not; some will charge tax, some may not; some will have 0% financing available, some will not.

But, imo, most importantly, some will direct you to contact the manufacturer's warranty service should you have any kind of issue after their return period has ended; Google directly shipped warranty replacements with 1- or 2-day shipping at their expense, along with a paid return label, for two issues I've had with Nexus products I bought from their store (I don't know if Motorola might do the same).

And yes, Google charges shipping and probably tax (I know they do to SC, but we have one of their data centers here so they're required). Worth it for peace of mind.

Not till after I have ordered! lol! I predict a lot fewer people will be ordering due to size, cost and carrier availability. Will order from the Play store. Had an issue with the S4 Google Play edition and they refunded it no issues after the 14 day return period.

Re: Will Google server crash on preoder date (Oct. 29th)?

I will be front and center at 12:00am PST. The site did not crash for the N5. I can't imagine the demand will exceed the N5 as others have said considering the fact that carriers will carry the phones too. I am probably jinxing myself as it will probably got up for pre-order at 12pm PST and I will be a zombie with a broken F5 key...

re: Is the Google Nexus 6 being delayed in the UK?

Does anyone know whether this year is the same sale before release of the new Nexus, as it was a year ago?

Re: Will Google server crash on preoder date (Oct. 29th)?

So how do you think the launch will go this time and are you concerned about not getting your order through?

Google will sell its stock very quickly in order to declare the "overwhelming" demand of the Nexus 6. This will help legitimize its decisions on making a bigger Nexus phone at a more expensive price.

Personally, I usually wait until everything settles down before I place an order, so I'm not concerned with ordering on launch day.

Re: Will Google server crash on preoder date (Oct. 29th)?

The only problem I had with the Nexus 5 ordering on the first day wasn't with the website, but the way they shipped devices. I ordered it within 15 minutes of it going up (they put the page up like 30 minutes sooner than they said they were going to). So I was in very early, but didn't ship for like 3 weeks later. I wonder if It's because I ordered it before they officially announced it or something, but people claiming to get the device a few days later and ordered it hours later really pissed me off. I had to call Google every week until they shipped it and they would say they seen the order, but not sure why it didn't ship yet and to just wait. It wasn't a billing issue or anything. There was a lot of people that had this problem on the xda site on the i just ordered post.

That SUCKS!!! I just remember it was around 12:30 - 1:00 central time when I saw on here "YOU CAN BUY IT" and I placed my order and it actually shipped that same day.. Only problem was it was two day shipping and I didn't get it until Monday.... So I had to wait ALL WEEKEND to get it.... Should have splurged for the extra $18 and got next day air.. but I honestly didn't think they would ship that same day....

About an hour after everyone was complaining it was sold out..
