By all means believe that said largest companies is on your side and not on the side of shareholders and turning a profit

Not to mention what I said above is actually production and marketing

Produce only what is required to reduce cost/ overhead and increase profits. Be in news as much as can to increase brand awareness. In hand day if announce announce only puts spotlight once, delay the 2 and you get twice the coverage

So you can get all butthurt all you want, you obviously don't run a business or you would know about keeping costs down.

Cool, I see you've got it all figured out whereas one of the largest companies in the world is obviously clueless at production and marketing and they know precisely how to suck the joy out of a phone purchase for consumers. Must have been a helluva focus group to come up with that one.

This phone is going to be a monster!!! It's going to take a while to get used to this honker though since I'm still running on the N5 today. I've been trying to picture this thing in my kahki's front pocket !!!
Wow more camera options too!!! http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/1...ur-wrist-or-a-double-tap-of-the-power-button/

I applaud your optimism. However, I severely doubt that Google would allow a reseller in a small market to upstage their own delivery times, or even Huawei's delivery times.. (safe to say that UK is a small market compared to India, China, USA, etc...)

I got my Nexus 5 from Carphone Warehouse. Phone announced and orders started on 31st October 2013. I purchased in store from Carphone Warehouse on November 1st 2013, before Google could ship.

It may be different this time around of course.

How does it take the joy out of a phone you don't have yet?
Nobody is obligated to pre-order a phone a month out just because that's when pre-order opened up. You were aware how far out the pre-order was when you decided to pre-order. Google provided a shipping window. You know what that is. You should have waited until a week before that and pre-ordered since you consider a week out more reasonable.
People choose to run out in the rain but get mad at God when they get wet. Smh

Ha ha. Looks like you have never heard of customer service or maybe you are happy living in the stone age.

I work in the supply chain space and feel it is a very poor example of a product launch when your fulfillment window is like a month. Especially， if you are preparing for a year. Yes， I know they said 3-5 weeks at time of ordering but doesn't make it any less excusable. And I don't mean just nexus. Other phones too.

I believe it is just a ploy from the manufacturer to create hype around a product to increase demand.

So wait...are you up set at big business and their practices?

Or are you upset that you didn't get the phone right away?

Personally, I don't mind the pre-ordering. It should/could kill off resellers. Look at ebay, 7 listings. That's awesome. Plus, pre-ordering lets them get a better handle on expected demand, supply chain, etc.

If you really think this was a shareholders moved, I disagree.
1. Historically Google announces a new mobile device this time of year.
2. Which means, analysts already factor these estimates into their reports and more importantly EPS.
3. Google is not in the business of making phones. Their revenue doesn't come from selling phones. There is so much more than net revenue per phone sold to Google.

I remember my nexus 5 order from google went in Oct. 31st and shipped nov 1st, had it the next day i believe. It was originally scheduled to leave the warehouse on 11/5. Nexus 6 however shipped the exact day they quoted it, so its hard to tell what will happen this time. Although the nexus 6 was a cluster, and they were releasing in batches, based on what they were getting from motorola. Basically you can't read anything into the nexus 6 because it lauched in conjunction with all 3 carriers, so they got priority.

I'm optimistic of an earlier ship date this time just based on the fact that the carriers arent as heavily involved here in the US.

You'd like to think that, wouldn't you.

Indeed

Actually, it has a lot more to do with the actual physical capacity than "overhead". Let me explain.

The capacity of a storage device is expressed using the metric system. So, 1 Gigabyte = 1 billion bytes. However, computers use binary system to show storage capacity, and that's where you lose some "bytes".

In metric, 1 kilo = 1000 (10^3)
However, in binary, 1 kilo = 1024 (2^10)

So, in computer terms, 1 KB = 1024 bytes, while in metric, 1 KB = 1000 bytes, see how it takes 24 extra bytes for every KB?

Now, 32 GB storage has the physical capacity to store 32 billion bytes approximately (due to manufacturing it's never exactly 32 billion, but typically always a little more and not less)

But in computer terms,
32000000000 bytes = 31250000 KB (32000000000 ÷ 1024) = 30517.58 MB (31250000 ÷ 1024) = 29.80 GB (30517.58 ÷ 1024).

As you can see, a storage device with a metric capacity of 32GB can actually store 29.80 GB of binary data. For 64 GB, the actual binary capacity is 59.60 GB

If you take the info from the unboxing video (screenshot of the storage settings), it looks like the OS is about 4.79 GB (29.80 - 25.01). From that, you can expect about 59.60 - 4.79 = 54.81 GB available in the 64GB versions.

The guy in the video simply is clueless about what I just explained. He thought, if 32 GB has 25 GB available, 64 must have 50.. Lol..

BTW, because of the confusion between the commercial (metric) and binary capacity, there is another term GiB (MiB, KiB) that is used to show the actual binary capacity. So, 32 GB = 29.80 GiB. Look it up.

Hope it cleared up the confusion.



Edit: For comparison, Nexus 6 32GB has 25.98 GiB and 64 GB has 54.65 GiB available. Because of the variations in manufacturing, the actual number of bytes (as opposed to stated capacity) vary among different manufacturers as well as chip sizes.

this would be my theory too. and after actually seeing the video of the unboxing, going by the lack of accurate information of other things that was given out, i'm 95% sure he's just wrong with his quotes.

the only part that concerns me is the 64GB moto x pure has something like 50GB free to the user, which is oddly low for a 64GB device. i'm hoping it's just moto's newfound incompetence that caused that in their device and not some new android issue.

we'll see soon enough i guess! i'm expecting to have 54-55GB free for things to be working properly. i should have at least as much free space as i do on my iphone running a beta build of ios 9.1 since that is probably a more bloated sized OS compared to a shipping version of an OS.

Just ordered 32gb aluminium one. First nexus device. Let's see what all the hype is about. Delivery sometime in November...

I wouldn't expect a bunch of bells & whistles like a Samsung phone. It's just stock Android, and if you use the google services a lot you may like it. If you're more used to the Iphone ecosystem you may not like it.

I'm currently a Nexus 6 Google Fi customer, and I ordered a Nexus 6P from the Google Fi site the beginning of October. However, I didn't have the option to sign up for device protection, and the order page displayed "Device protection (will be available later) -- Receive an email when your device is eligible for enrollment." I'm in the US. Why would device protection be available when purchasing a Nexus 6P from the Play Store, but not from the Google Fi site?

Because service wasn't ready at the beginning of October... heck the website only went up shortly after nexus annoucement.

I had the same thing.. I ordered my Nexus 5 on October 31 and woke up the next day with tracking.. I didn't get it until Tuesday the following week (I think around November 4th) because it shipped on a Friday and I didn't pick next day shipping (I didn't expect it to ship that fast)

The Nexus 6 was a different story altogether.... However I did get my Nexus 6 about 3 days sooner than the estimate I got at time of preorder... For what that's worth..... (not much)

 

[plethoraofhobbies]

in case anyone else is using project fi and the new nexus phones I just wanted to clear up a few things that I did recently. if you order the phone from the fi site it gets you started using fi yes but you cant get the protection plan. I saw people were getting the protection plan and ordered from the play store but then noticed I didnt have a sim card that way I called back to fi and they directed me to a page where you can order the sim card. the card can be shipped and the dates are far different than the phone and perhaps a sign the phones are shipping sooner. i have not seen this posted yet
PENDING
OCTOBER 29 – NOVEMBER 2, 201

thats for the sim card. so after cancelling my initial order I have the fi package being sent for free and a phone with a plan....... however this is based on there being phones still for sale. the aluminum is still available BUT if you cancel your order and cant find a phone... you can order another phone and then cancel the first order later which is what I did. but anyways hope this clears things up.

 

[Michael Tung]

Anyone ordered recently? Ordering tomorrow and I have a problem. It's shipping to my house in Vegas, and I'm gonna be there from Nov 10-Nov25/26. I'm worried it won't make it on time. Should I take my chances? Haha

 

[liquidskypa]

No one can definitively answer this same question you've asked already in this forum. Either order or wait until you return to wherever you'll be after that date.

 

[jdot104]

I have to chuckle at the perpetual ability of the consumer to find fault. Open up sales on release day and people complain when the site is mobbed and they sell out in half an hour. Do preorders and people complain that they have to wait too long to get what they ordered. Cut off preorders for certain models when the line gets too long and people complain that they can't preorder anymore. Are we spoiled brats or what?

I think waiting a month for delivery is a bit much, but that's just me.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone attempted to purchase the 6P from Huawei directly?

i did. they say it will ship out by november/early november, but don't have a hard date and could be earlier.

 

[sstephen17]

I might run it naked for two reasons. One, I have the warranty. Two, it looks too damn good to have even a clear case cover it.

My only worry is that it won't be "grippy" enough without a case. I'll probably start without a case and see how it feels.
