Google Nexus 6 Preorder Info & Reviews

Re: At what time will the Pre Orders start?

I just got off talking to Google support about the nexus 6 release times and he told me his best guess would be at midnight on the 29th. I really don't trust him on this info

Re: Are Oct 29 pre orders for unlocked full priced version only?

This is a good question - I'm planning on paying for this through T-Mobile, and paying it off early like I just did with my Nexus 5. That way I can inspect in store, make sure I like the colors, blah blah blah, you get the drift.

Anyone in here with N5 ordering experience remember your carrier having it x amount of days after Google Play opened it up?

I'm confident Oct 29 will be on the Play Store, but not so sure about carriers. I think they may end up offering the phone later.

Most likely play store. So full price unlocked version.

Pretty sure of at least Tmo to offer it the same day [order]if not in stores.

Re: Are Oct 29 pre orders for unlocked full priced version only?

I'm in Canada but I remember last year getting n5 on a carrier and having the phone the same day people from playstore were getting their orders. It was roughly about 4 days after you could start ordering the device. Hopefully it's the same this year. I really want to see one in person before I decide. Not complaining about the price but the increase doesn't make it a blind purchase for me anymore like it has the last couple of years.

T-Mobile's official release says November 12.... However doesn't say anything about "Preorder" period... But then again the play store preorder still doesn't say anything about a date we will see them start shipping.... The Nexus 9 doesn't start shipping until November 3rd.... Wonder if it will ship around the same time or after??? (I doubt before but I do have my fingers crossed)

T-Mobile to Bring Nexus 6 to its Data Strong Network this November | T-Mobile Newsroom

Fall is a wonderful time of year; the leaves begin to change colors, families come together, and most importantly, there’s yet another awesome new smartphone coming to T-Mobile. The Nexus 6 by Motorola will join T-Mobile’s stellar device lineup on November 12 for $0 down (and $27.08 a month for 24 months on our Equipment Installment Plan).

Re: At what time will the Pre Orders start?

You might have to wait a couple weeks! I think the nexus 5 went on sale about ten days after with Sprint vs play store! I think T-Mobile said the nexus 6 goes in sale with them November 12!!!

Nov. 12th is right.

Google will have mandated an earliest date of release with all the carriers/resellers, so it's pretty likely that the 12th will be the date that any preorders start to ship (unless they pre-ship with date-of-delivery instructions to the shipping service).

Yeah I've been stressing to people.... Tomorrow is the preorder date on Google Play... but as of right now there have been no hints as to when those play store preorders will ship......

I can't see the Nexus 6 shipping before the Nexus 9 does on November 3rd.... I'd THINK November 3rd would be the earliest ship date....

but again I am just speculating.. I'm paying full retail so I'll preorder from the play store tomorrow and just wait.....

Re: At what time will the Pre Orders start?

Man I need to make a decision and fast. I'm debating on ordering between the Play store or T-Mobile.... Since they are carrying the 64gb version as well. I'll save some money going through T-Mobile compared to the play store. Decisions... Decisions.

Re: At what time will the Pre Orders start?

I'll let you know right after I put my order in.

Hey! I was just going to ask all of you to wait for a minute or two after it goes live.

Okay i just went in my Google Wallet and found out the times.
Nexus 4 8:35 AM PST
Nexus 5 11:30 AM PST

I remember the Nexus 4 release; Google tricked us and put it up live earlier than expected. I missed it, and it was a while later until I was able to get my order in. It turned out to be a debacle all the way around. The Nexus 5 launch went much smoother.

Re: At what time will the Pre Orders start?

Google tricked us and put it up live earlier than expected

and this is exactly why I keep checking it about every 30 minutes or so....... Just in case they put it up on preorder a day early.......

Just never know with Google... and now it's officially cleared the FCC so they can now LEGALLY sell it....

iirc, T-Mobile stores will only be carrying the 32GB model. If that's correct, then your only savings would be the shipping (presuming T-Mobile doesn't charge shipping), though of course if you live in a state where Google doesn't have a local corporate presence you may escape sales tax from the Play store. Just my 2¢, but with all else being pretty much the same, and if the payment installment plan isn't a huge motivator for you, I would recommend buying from the Play store even for an extra $15-20 in shipping.

If you have any concerns (defects, etc) that cause you to seek a replacement within the period of 'buyer's remorse,' you'd have to ship your unit and await receipt of a replacement unit from either (I know Google covers shipment cost both ways, can't speak for T-Mobile). But after that period is over and you enter the regular warranty period, Google will, assuming they maintain the same practice as they have with the Nexus 4, 5, and 7's, ship to you a replacement device and return-shipping label, both at their expense, upon over-the-phone diagnosis of an issue and confirmation of warranty eligibility. T-Mobile will refer you to Motorola to seek warranty coverage (though you might get direct replacement if you are subscribed to their premium warranty or insurance program).

Google's warranty service on products purchased through its Play store is pretty much the best I've experienced. Consider that recently they were offering free (one-time) replacements, including free shipping, for Nexus 5's purchased from their store even if the phone's screen had been cracked.

I like T-Mobile a lot for the value they offer in their services, but man, Google's customer service sets the bar. Of course, I've had to wait as long as 30 seconds to speak to a live person -- they need to work on that.

T-Mobile will carry the 64 GB version but online only

Re: At what time will the Pre Orders start?

I like that Google isn't giving us the exact time. I waited until 3am for the iPhone preorders, I wasn't able to actually get an order through until 5:30. (Sold that phone, didn't enjoy it) Now I'll be up all the ungodly hours Wednesday just to get a jump on the preorders, even though it'll probably start at a reasonable time like the past two Nexii.

I love nexus phones but I'm the exact opposite of you. I hate the way Google's ordering or pre ordering process works. They never tell you when, and then when you find out, it's hard to order right away unless you're lucky. I can't stand it, and it's almost always a bad experience.

I really hope it's different this time. Last year wasn't that bad with the N5 but there were still glitches.

Re: At what time will the Pre Orders start?

So all I've been hearing about is the Play Store and carrier release dates. Any info on when Motorola will have it up?

Re: At what time will the Pre Orders start?

Anyone expect the pre-orders to be sold out? I'll just check on Oct 29 and see.

With the price being how it is and the "size issues" i do not think you will have issues getting one. Now they may not have that many allotted for preorders, but for me I'm waiting until they are in store so I can go play with one, and see if the size is too large for me before buying.

Ditto. I'd like to buy it from motorola as well. I have their page saved for tomorrow just in case and hoping it doesn't just redirect you to the play store.
