I doubt the "Shamu" is the Nexus 6..

Shamu isn't a fish though....... actually an orca/dolphin/mammal if I am not mistaken......

That's semantics. I think the only people playing that game are people who don't want the Shamu device to be the Nexus 6 (or whatever it will be called).

I am not one of "Those People" I want this to be the Nexus device.... But Google is pretty well know for pulling pranks..... just falls in line with their culture and way of doing things..... Gives them wiggle room to be something else.......

Shamu is to Whale as Kleenex is to Tissue

If I took a sticky note, wrote "Swordfish" on the back and taped it over the HTC Logo on my M8 and called it the Nexus, would everyone believe it?

Probably, because if it's on the net it must be true. People will believe anything just to have something to believe in.

 

[Casey DC]

usually no... but the wording in the Gizmodo article is that they would save the rumored specs of the 5.2 inch Nexus 6 and just make them a Google Play Edition...... Thus that would mean a bump in processor and screen if the rumored benchmarks of a 5.2 inch Moto device with the 805 and qHD screen were real and NOT another Nexus 6......

That 5.2 inch Moto is the Droid Turbo, that is all but confirmed at this point. It isn't really a Moto X but it certainly isn't a Nexus.

TKTechNews seems to think that Shamu is the Moto S, and that the Nexus 6 will be pretty much the exact same device but without the Motorola crater on the back.

That would indeed be interesting if true. I wonder what would differentiate the devices, other than the S would get the moto addon software and the 6 would get pure google L.

Probably the S (and not the Nexus) would be available on Verizon.

Probably the S (and not the Nexus) would be available on Verizon.

I can see that. And would make sense, especially after the track record Verizon and Google have over the GNex. I left Verizon over that and have no looked back and could not be happier. I love being able to get an unlocked phone like the Nexus and go to ATT or whomever. Love the freedom.

I think Gizmodo speculated the Moto S is for Verizon and the Nexus 6 would be the unlocked device working with AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint.... So Verizon can lock it down to their specs... All speculation... but a lot of data seems to point to a big Nexus 6 coming soon...

A Moto X (2014), DROID Turbo, Moto S, and Nexus 6/X would be an odd line up for Verizon IMO.

I hope Verizon doesn't get the Nexus.. they bastardized the Galaxy Nexus.. you all remember that right?

I had a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. I honestly didn't have a problem with Verizon's treatment of it.

That makes a lot of sense...

I had a Verizon Galaxy Nexus too, it was alright. Biggest issue for me were the 5 supposed launch dates that didn't happen, lol.

Probably the S (and not the Nexus) would be available on Verizon.

But people have been quoted as seeing Nexus 6 prototypes working on Verizon.

But that's more our problem then theirs lol
