Google Nexus 6 Preorder Info & Reviews

Re: Wednesday restock Nexus 6

I'm guessing they're done for the day, at least for the 64s. I just saw the 32 in both colors pop up one more time on Push Bullet notifications, but seems like it's slowing down, and I haven't seen any more notifications for the 64 version for the last 15 minutes or so.

Re: Wednesday restock Nexus 6

This is AT&T's first Nexus phone too. I'm just surprised they are even going to carry it at all. I can see them doing what T-Mobile is doing and having an app or two pre loaded when you activate the phone that you can delete. But hopefully they don't/can't mod it so we can't delete the apps...this is a Nexus phone after all!

I think it's built into Lollipop to make it easier to delete and remove bloat..... Maybe I read that wrong but that is my understanding of how Lollipop works on a Nexus device...

Woo. After I saw everyone saying they were still getting the white, I went back and got the white and canceled the blue!

Re: Wednesday restock Nexus 6

The 32 hit/pinged often for me.... the 64 not so much.. I have not seen a 64 ping in almost 1/2 an hour... and even then I wasn't able to get to proceed to check out... but yeah... I think the "Everything must go Wednesday" deal is about done for today....

Re: Wednesday restock Nexus 6

I wonder if dropping verizon from the list on the product page has anything to do with them wanting to bloat the rom up and google standing firm, telling them NO!

See, you'd think they'd have worked all of this out before. That's what's been very confusing to me; supposedly, there was friction between Google and Verizon due to the Galaxy Nexus, but I'd have thought that if Google included Verizon in the N6 announcement, that meant they worked things out. It doesn't really make sense to me that Google and Verizon would have some kind of preliminary agreement to the point where Verizon is initially included, and then all of a sudden, there's disputes over what Verizon wants to do.

My guess is simply that the notice on Play Store for the N6 is talking about the carriers actually selling the phone, and for whatever reason, Verizon is choosing to wait to sell it, themselves, longer than everyone else. But a Play Store model should still work on Verizon.

21st? If they don't ship for delivery next week there will probably be a lot of cancelled orders.

I think his point was that it will work on verizon, but not be sold in verizon stores b.c they wanted to bloat it up to sell it store.

Saw it last year with the LTE version of the Nexus 7.... when it was announced they said Verizon would support it and then people started buying and had a heck of a time getting it activated on Verizon... They like to use the "Not certified for our network yet" excuse.... I just remember reading it took people weeks and weeks and weeks to get Verizon to finally certify it on their network and start activating.....

Verizon is a profitable company and they can afford to be picky I guess......

Heh, why is that? Can't really expect it to ship earlier if Google, themselves, gives an estimate of 11/21 on the order status. It still remains to be seen if the T-Mobile 11/12 thing ends up being accurate. I know it's supposedly "confirmed" at this point, but I'm not sure I believe that.

I suppose. The Droid Life video gives me enough confidence to try it out, though. Don't see why their version of the phone would work on Verizon, while other Play Store versions would be blocked.

I really do hope that Google starts shipping phones on Friday of this week or first of next week..... If I walk into a T-Mobile store on Wednesday and walk out with a brand new Nexus 6 in under 30 minutes.............. or if I can order a 64 GB on T-Mobile dot com and get next day delivery and all the people who ordered from the play store have to wait another week or two before their devices ship that is going to be insane......

At this point I am just rolling the dice I can buy in store sooner than a preorder done today.....

re: Google Nexus 6 Preorder Info & Reviews

Got one, but it has an expected ship time of 11/26. I'm still going to T-Mobile next week and if I get one I'll just cancel this one. Unless they move my ship time up.

No way I'm canceling mine. It would be nice but I wasn't even expecting it to ship by next week.

I really think google is using these ship times as place holders.

Re: Wednesday restock Nexus 6

How long do you have to cancel from the Playstore? 14days from order date?

14 days from when you receive the device

Edit:15 days not 14

I hope this is true. I had it in my cart 3 times today only to get errors or have it disappear like last week. I gave it a few more refreshes about 5 minutes ago before giving up and snagged a 32GB, but my ship date is 11/26. I'm going to T-Mobile next week and if I get one I'll just cancel the online order, unless they are just place holders and my ship time moves up, which I'm hoping because it would make things so much easier.
