That's very true. Nexus 5 made by LG but I must admit I never paid much attention to LG phones until the G3 came out. I was back and forth for so long between that and the Note 4. Only reason I got the Note 4 was because I had a voucher that brought the price down quite a bit. Otherwise I'd have gone with the G3. I like phones with the IR blaster on them as I use it a lot on the Samsung phones I've had. Shame the nexus 6 didn't come with any specs to really set it apart from the rest, like an ir blaster and fingerprint ID. I'm still unsure if the nexus 6 has qi wireless charging. Doesn't say on the website as they only mention the turbo charge option but reviewers have said that it does but they had trouble getting it to work.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. It makes sense seen as they are they only ones selling all variants and the white version!
[Nexus 6  General] EddyOS:
It does (apparently) have Qi charging but the curved back is screwing this up with existing flat chargers. I wouldn't be surprised to see a new N6 wireless charger released which is curved to accept the device properly at some point in the future...
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Well that's a big blow if you can't use it with existing charging pads. Would have thought it would have been in the accessories section by now but even America doesn't have it in their play store. Maybe they haven't made them yet? It questions Google's logic or unpreparedness maybe?
[Nexus 6  General] EddyOS:
Exactly my thoughts. I was reading a post on here this morning (of course I can't find it now!!) saying the magnets are there but it barely registers on the existing nexus wireless charger. I'm gonna wait until the new year for stock to rise and then I might get one, I do like the white N6, but I have 5.0 on my N5 and it's pretty awesome! :D
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
Google have always been useless with accessories, releasing them weeks/months after the devices.
[Nexus 6  General] markp1989:
Yeah I remember how long it took for the charging dock for the original Nexus 7 to be released, was almost half way through the devices life cycle.

Its where Apple are doing something right, soon as a iPhone gets announced the accessories show up everywhere.
[Nexus 6  General] Super Chimp:
I've asked about that & they seem to think it will.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah I have it on my nexus 5. Just got it before the official rollout of lollipop. Had to flash the software manually. It's pretty cool! I was in two minds whether to get the nexus 6 but I guess I bit the bullet. I've been battling with myself back and forth about getting the nexus 6. I dunno, I do like the big screen though and it's a whole inch below most 7 inch tablets so it'll come in handy.
[Nexus 6  General] EddyOS:
My issue was I've had two OPOs and found them big and I take the piss out of my work colleague with an iPhone 6 Plus so to then turn up with a BIGGER phone would be a bit of a come down on my half!! I'm sure I'll cave once I've properly looked at one in a shop
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
OPO's as in OnePlus One? I've got one too. Yeah the big phones are weird to handle at first but you get used to them and then all yourself how you managed with a small phone. I think the iPhone 6 plus looks huge because of the amount if bezel left on the phone. The screen to phone ratio isn't good compared to LG G3, Huawei Ascend Mate 7 and Samsung Note 4.
[Nexus 6  General] EddyOS:
Yep (cba arsed to type it all out!!). It is a good phone but it's a shame they didn't go Quad HD - if they had I'd probably have kept it. It was just a bit big in my pocket. Not that I wear particularly tight jeans, just regular Levi/Superdry ones, but it just a bit big. Actual size and usage was fine (I'm 6'4") and the N6 would be a bit bigger than the OPO but I'm gonna have to have a look at a device in the metal before really wanting one! :D
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
Just tell them yours has a bigger screen and its the same size as your iphone.
[Nexus 6  General] andy_mk3:
I am pleased to announce CPW have now taken the full payment which is now showing on my statement :D
[Nexus 6  General] EddyOS:
I'm trying not to get one as I keep telling my gf I won't buy another phone. This past calendar year I've had three Nexus 5's, two OPOs, an M8, an M7 and an iPhone 6!
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Yeah me too
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Ha, yeah I know what you mean. I don't mind the size really. Was surprised to read that your 6ft 4 and still find it to big for your pocket. I think most manufacturers will push out something around 5" and also a higher one between 5.5" and 6" similar to what some have done. Most have the big size and a mini size now. I have the nexus 5 in my hands and it feels small compared to the note 4 that I have and the iPhone 6 plus. Along with the OPO as well lol. I should really stop buying phones! I'll probably end up selling one of them. The OPO is still a novelty and hard to get so I'll probably get that sold. I agree if they had gone with qHD and maybe even a microSD shot and either removable battery or qi charging it would make the phone more awesome. I do like qi wireless charging though. I've got the qi wireless receivers for my note 4 and iPhone 6 plus and they work great but to have it built into the phone like the nexus line is something I've grown to want as standard. It's so easy! I started using the qi charging on my Galaxy s5 as I was fed up opening that flap on the bottom to get to the charging port and was worried it would come off one day. So opted for wireless charging and I love it. Just have to make turbo charged wireless charging and it'll be even better! Not likely but there's always hope lol
[Nexus 6  General] EddyOS:
It's the size of Levi pockets - they're not very deep! I found my OPO kept poking out when driving. My Superdry jeans are a lot deeper but, again, when driving a large phone gets in the way when you drive a small car ;)

I imagine I'll get on eventually, once the rush dies down (hopefully)
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah it is difficult to drive with it in your pocket but I always take my phone out of my pocket instinctively when I get in the car. Hope you do get one eventually, be a nexus fan boy lol

On another note, got an email from clove about the nexus 6 32gb midnight blue (the only one they sell) and they've already sold their first batch stock and now taking pre orders for the second batch which they say will come at the end of December. So Google/Motorola are staggering production.

Google are toying with us. My Firefox extension "check for change" just played out and it changed temporarily to "this device is not for sale at the moment" for the 32GB White. Now its back to "coming soon".

My Spigen case came today, giving me a first physical look of the actual size of the Nexus 6. All I can say is, wow! That thing is gonna be damn huge, perfect :D

Picture up against my S4, taken with the shocking quality of a Galaxy Tab 3.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Nexus 6 is just a tiny bit bigger than the i****e 6 plus but next to the s4 it does look massive lol

[Nexus 6  General] Sennfire:
Just in case some of you haven't seen pictures of a dbrand skin for the Nexus 6 yet, my red one arrived a few days ago. Apologies for the picture quality.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I'm in two minds of getting the dbrand skin because I like the white back of the version I ordered. I am however, very surprised about the different looks and ease in getting the skin on. What made you get it?
[Nexus 6  General] Sennfire:
I ordered the white as well. Honestly, I just like red on phones. I think the red Nexus 5 looked really stunning and I was sort of disappointed to not see a red Nexus 6. I saw that dbrand skin I thought it was worth getting. It's a lovely red, and it has a great texture which I don't think will gather finger prints all that much. I may use it, I may not, but I think it's plenty cheap enough to take the gamble if you're considering it.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah I've got a few in the basket but still deciding. Hmm, maybe I will. I've already bought three cases! Lol
[Nexus 6  General] barry_:
I haven't ordered my N6 yet so I noticed that it's available in 32gb blue on the french play store (3-4 week wait) but out of stock in the UK store.
[Nexus 6  General] letom:
Did you order that from the Canadian website? How much did it cost all together including taxes?
[Nexus 6  General] warr3n:
Blue 32GB just in stock momentarily in Google Play.

Managed to add to basket, but wouldn't let me proceed to check out "an error has occurred........."

Think I'll resort to ordering from Carphone Warehouse.
[Nexus 6  General] JCM800:
I read the review in gsm arena,, they said the audio is a wasted chance - is that fixable tho anyone? Maybe by a firmware update?
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
My mobicity order went through, "pending forfilment A" no news on shipping i opened a ticket with them but no reply, their site says get new unlocked phones first.

Hopefully early dec !
[Nexus 6  General] @home:
I doubt it. I've had 3 Nexus devices & the audio quality has been garbage on all of them.
[Nexus 6  General] no friends:
I've just noticed its showing as coming soon on the Giff Gaff website!
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I honestly think that the milliseconds that the 32gb midnight blue in the play store isn't enough to get you all the way through checkout. Google are toying with us and playing games
[Nexus 6  General] NexusHexus:
Yesterday I ordered me a Dbrand carbon fibre Rear skin without the cutout. How long was your delivery time if you don't mind me asking?
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Do you know if there are any other taxes or anything that you would need to pay for getting them from Canada?
[Nexus 6  General] Sennfire:
It was £8.61 including shipping and taxes.

I pre-ordered it back at the start of this month and I got shipping confirmation on the 14th (a Friday) telling me it had left the warehouse. It was with me on the 17th (the following Monday) which I thought was astonishingly quick given the distance.
[Nexus 6  General] warr3n:
I've bitten the bullet and pre-ordered from Carphone Warehouse.

Reminds me of the shenanigans with the Nexus 5 release when I managed to get an order in with Google Play on the day of release. Again delivery was anticipated within "3 or 4 weeks".

A few days later my local Carphone Warehouse had the phones in stock so I cancelled my Google play order and bought a Nexus 5 from Carphone Warehouse. Other forum members who had ordered the Nexus 5 at the same time as me had to wait a few weeks for their Google Play orders to eventually arrive.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
My Nexus 5 from Google Play certainly never took 3-4 weeks when I ordered at launch.

Ordered on the 31st Oct 2013, received it on the 4th November 2013.
[Nexus 6  General] warr3n:
Just checked my Play Order from last year - I ordered on 31 October and it was due to be dispatched from the warehouse by 5 November, with delivery taking "1 - 3 business days" so it was forecast at least a week after order and I seem to recall that there were lengthy delays although I may be getting the Nexus 5 mixed up with the Nexus 4.

With the Nexus 5 release Carphone Warehouse had the phones in stock in shops on 1 November, 1 day after announcement, hence my Play Order cancellation and immediate retail gratification.

Best Nexus release for me was the Nexus One - shipped from the USA and you could track the plane as it crossed the Atlantic! Even then delivery from date of order was quicker than the current lacklustre Google service.
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
The Nexus One was great, and you got headphones and a nice sleeve with it.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
I've just ordered 4 cases

This is the one I'm looking forward to the most

Just got back from CPW... you can pre order in store for expected delivery on the 1st Dec.

I was hoping to use O2 Refresh and pay off what I have left + move on to a new 2 year contract with the Nexus 6 but CPW don't process O2 Refresh contracts and O2 still haven't announced pricing or pre-orders for the Nexus 6. :(
[Nexus 6  General] Silentsoul:
Hi guys, can you please help me out here?

is it true that the N6 will be officialy released on december first?

can you show me some shops where i can get it (they need to ship to Germany, though)

thanks in advance
[Nexus 6  General] all43:
oooo that looks sexy!!

I'm trying my hardest to resist CPW and play store to see what better deals come out on contract (Giff Gaff, ee, 02)...not sure how long I can hang on:eek::eek:
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
To be honest I wasn't going to get the nexus 6 just stick with the n5

Then i saw the iPhone 6 plus which is just a tiny bit smaller than the nexus 6 and thought why not

I pre ordered the midnight blue 64gb from cpw because I couldn't wait lol
[Nexus 6  General] all43:
I'm still on the Nexus 4, skipped the 5....must wait ..must hang on lol
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
After all the HTC and Samsung phones i thought I'd try the nexus 4 and haven't looked back since

So I'll have the 4 5 and 6 (always like having a decent spare or two ) :p

Wow glad you found that! Really happy it does because the reports said that it didn't! Bit of a weird place to put it though, right smack bang in the middle of the speaker? And rooting to get it is a pain but easily done I guess. Still rubbish of Google not to include this as standard.

I've had more fun with my nexus 4 after rooting it than I ever did before I rooted it. It was my first android device so I was a little scared of doing it but it was well worth it.

I Wanted a Phone, that lasted more than 2/3rds of a day with a Relevant screen and res for a PHONE SIZED device.

a 5.2 " / 3200Mha / QI / 32Gb / 13MP OIS / 1080p / 805 SoC Handset for the same price as the nexus 5 give or take afew quid would have been an instant buy.

all they made was a Google Nexus Pen!s to wave around with everyother OEM's offerings.
[Nexus 6  General] 3473:
If you want that there's other OEM's that offer it. But guess what, you have to pay for it! Why some people think they have a divine right to get a half price phone every year I have no idea.

Why should Google subsidise you every single year?
[Nexus 6  General] mediaman123:
As giddy as a School Girl...........;)

I am nexus daft, and have even got the wife to throw her iPhone 5 away in favour of the nexus 5............

I will be getting this as soon as humanly possibly..............will be selling my beloved S4 to help pay for it...........

I don't even care about the screen size and the negative comments about it...........for me its simply an evolutionary process.............

I will also be looking to get my hands on the 9 too, I love my 7 a lot though.............in terms of priority though, the 6 is first in line..........

the price of the device, which is being estimated at 407 currently is actually still quite reasonable considering the improvement in materials that have been used.........I mean, yeah, its pricey in a general sense, but a lot of the market leading smartphones out now like Samsung, iPhone, HTC are coming in higher than this........
[Nexus 6  General] AVF Jay:
Where? Nothing is coming up when I search Nexus 6 on amazon uk

Do you have a link please?
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
Well as you asked why Google should subsidise the nexus, they have for the last few years and that's not the only reason to have grabbed a nexus.

For starters I have had every nexus phone from day 1, so yeah I paid the price for the Galaxy nexus so its not even about the price, its what Nexus stood for.

Then there is all the money Google make from selling users information for targeted advertising yadda yadda, this is not even the point.

This is NOT "nexus" program any more, its Google admitting it screwed up with Android Silver and then botched up this "Nexus" to meet the customer produced hype, while still not paying a single piece of attention to the customer.

All they did was Build something in competition to every other OEM, I wish people would stop kidding them self's and realise this.

Question : How many people have you seen using a 5.2"+ screen device as a Phone EVER ?

Answer : Very few

Question : How many people did not like the NOTE or the IPhone 6+ and returned them or swapped for a phone sized device ?

Answer : Many, even Tech Blog people wrote about it across the internet, its not just a handful of people.

Everyone has fallen into the same Apple / Samsung trap here that so many android users jibe others about.

OPEN YOUR EYES SHEEP, Google's new nexus phablet goes back on their own idea's and original target market and your all emptying your wallets and they are just laughing all the way to the bank so next year your carry around a 7" Phone and pay 750 dollars for it, when you could just go buy a LTE Nexus 7 and says this is the future like some big Google branded billboard in the street where people give you funny looks because you look like an idiot.
[Nexus 6  General] 3473:
Your childish insults further cement the point that you're just bitter than you can't afford device. Building something "in competition with every other OEM" is what customers, want, why would OEM's do it otherwise? They haven't all colluded in secret to give us something we don't want.

Every OEM does it because people want it

, not sure why this is so hard to understand.

Not sure how I'm a sheep if I own a Z3 and a tab S, yet your entire signature if comprised of Nexus devices. If anything, you're sad you can't be a sheep any more because they've priced you out of it

Don't worry I'm sure Huawei will release something more in your price range.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
If the rumoured price of £450 for the Nexus 6 is true,

Its much cheaper than the launch price of:

Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Sony Xperia Z3

Samsung Galaxy S5

HTC ONE M8

Just to name a few!

So what exactly are you talking about?

Sure its more expensive than the Nexus 5, but a premium product demands a higher price & yet Google & Motorola with still be selling it cheaper than the rest.

Note 4 is £649 at Carphone Warehouse

Nexus 6 could be £449

That's a huge difference!

How is this any different than what Google usually do for us?
[Nexus 6  General] EddyOS:
Where's the part where Google said they'd indefinitely subsidise the Nexus range? Nowhere, that's why.

Yes, the Nexus 6 is expensive but it's headline specs and is used a reference unit to what the next version of Android can do. Now, if Google want to show this off using a larger phone/phablet, that's their call. If it's too big for you, you don't have to buy it. Google are keeping the Nexus 5 for this very reason - for those that don't want a larger phone. It'll still have Android 5.0 on it so you're not missing out.

The reason the Nexus range was cheap for so long was to get the Nexus name out there, similar to what OnePlus are doing now. Now people know about Android , Google can charge more knowing people will still flock to buy them. I get that you're upset, but trying to talk people on a Nexus 6 forum not to buy this phone is a bit redundant :)
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
I find your posts overly aggressive and insluting.. calm yourself down
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
They should let this guy build his own phone, subsidised it by £300 but charge him all the R & D .
