Nexus 6: $649.99

Re: Nexus 6 is up on Play Store, price confirmed $649

The carriers would need to do more in the way of plans to make it worth our wild to pay cash money for our devices.... Only reason I use T-Mobile is because I get unlimited data (5 gig at LTE speeds) unlimited text and 100 minutes talk (I only average 60 - 80 minutes of actual talk time per month) for $30.00 a month...

The plans on AT&T and even Sprint with an unlocked or paid in full up front device are not cheap enough... Almost makes sense to just sign another contract and go two years....

Maybe Google just decided they couldn't win that battle vs the carriers???? Outside of Google taking a large chunk of the reported $60 billion in cash on hand to buy a carrier and run it their way (which I am sure Google has no desire to run a carrier) they are not going to be able to break that mold any... T-Mobile is doing a good job of shaking up the industry but their between major metro cities coverage is horrendous... and they can't have many more tricks left up those sleeves.... The GIANTS... AT&T and Verizon have the networks and have plenty of profits to offer better cheaper plans if you pay for your phone outright but they are not going to do it at the risk of lower profits... T-Mobile isn't doing it to be nice... They are trying to stay relevant and make money long term......

That $30 T-Mo plan is probably what I'll go with if I get the N6 -- replacing my voip home line but keeping AT&T for my N5 (I like the $40 GoPhone plan even though it's only 0.5 Gb of data -- I use email a lot but don't go through much bandwidth.)

Wi-Fi calling on T-Mo is another plus -- if that comes to pass. That will make it easy to replace my voip line and still get good call reception in the house.

T-Mo has been improving a lot here in the metro Atlanta. In some outlying areas I think (but haven't verified) it may be better that either of the big two. BTW, I'm so glad to have been able to ditch Verizon about a year ago.

Love this little $30 plan! I save $50 a month or $600 a year vs a comparable AT&T, Verizon or Sprint plan!

Hey $600 just about paid for my new nexus 6!!!

It's interesting that T-Mo doesn't promote the $30 plan -- last time I checked if you just go to their website and click on plans you don't see it. You have to have heard about it somewhere else.

I feel the same way. The whole intent of a single model should be freedom from carrier tyranny, esp Verizon. Hopefully Google will continue this and offer a refreshed N5.

You are perfectly free to buy it from Google. I don't see the problem.

Nope not advertised! Have to get the starter kit from Wal-Mart! And then I buy my refill cards at best buy for the reward zone points!

That sucks. I might get a nexus 6 to play around with.

It looks like the turbo charger comes standard.

If that's true that's great

Have you read the fine print on the turbo charger? Says batter must be substantially depleted and then charging slows as the battery level increases... From reading that wonderful ** fine print... Sounds like you have to basically have a completely dead battery and want to throw it on for 15 minutes so you can get 6 hours of stand by time (another fine print.. Not 6 hours of use... 6 hours of stand by time) Doesn't sound like the battery can be at say 50% and you are getting ready to head out for the night and can throw it on and have it at near 100% in 15 - 20 minutes...

Google Nexus 6 2-year contract price?

Anyone have a guess as to what the 2-year contract price will be?

will it be $200 like a lot of flagship phones?

Re: Black Friday deals?

I think it's a foregone conclusion that there will be a number of promotions on some great phones for Black Friday as there always are. But given that (outside enthusiasts like ourselves) the Nexus name is relatively unknown, it's unlikely that carriers will invest heavily in promoting them when they can get more ROI by pushing Samsung, LG, HTC, etc.

You never know. They my if they want to unload product.

I would agree with that but not when it's only a month old. I can see some deals for that reason when it's at least over 6 months old. And I'll actually be surprised to see this phone in stock at my local VZW store. I'll probably have to go to Best Buy to see it.

Re: Black Friday deals?

You think amazon will offer a discount on this device around christmas time ???
