Yeah the wriggle room is there but as a business who is built on customers buying from them, communication is key. If it was delayed a few days, fine but a couple of weeks! Samsung delayed by a week on their note 4 pre orders and everyone knew. It's the fact that they've been sat on the information that is the real issue.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Yeah you're not wrong mate,
[Nexus 6  General] Sennfire:
In completely contrasting news, the CPW website now says that the 64 GB Blue model will be available this Friday 28th November.

EDIT: Okay, so it did say that, but only very briefly...
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Haha, wtf is going on over there... no one knows when we're getting it , you'd think if there was a delay they would update the website .. still says 1st for the 32GB model
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Which adds to my Theory that some stores have received them.

Delivery is 5th December, that's what mobiles.co.uk says on their website, who are just CPW.

So basically CPW knew, changed the website to Week commencing so it looked less like a date slip.

I've emailed to find out what's going on with mine, I don't care enough to call them I have somd work to do right now!
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Yea i mean if it was the 1st we'd have to be seeing those dispatched emails pretty soon....
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
so after a lot of thinking and feeling guilty i just pre ordered a blue 64gb from carphone whorehouse, got an acknowledgement email, idk if/when i'll get a confirmation but the 2 or 3 guys i called on the phone said december 1st is the delivery date, he said if i order online i should get it on dec 1st. he said that it will be available in store for pick up after 2pm but if i select home delivery it will arrive in the morning.

what do i do now?

edit:

just seen the date change to 28th november then 15th december. im gonna *HULK SMASH* if its gonna come on the 15th
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
They really don't know what is going on. I'm now being told that they had a batch at the time pre orders opened but they sold out and now they are on back order for the 64gb hence the later date of 15th.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
What about the 32 GBs then ? ?
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Still not sure about the 32gb, but from what I was told is to expect it on 5th December.

I found this on the CPW Facebook page.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Waiting game it is.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
All the time I've used cpw I've never had any problems whatsoever

Then comes the nexus 6 and everything is screwed WTF is going on
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
No one can give any concrete confirmation about dates. It's total rubbish really. Motorola and Google are mostly at fault for the lack of any information whatsoever and then CPW follows suit and doesn't tell any customers about the potential delay in fulfilling their orders.
[Nexus 6  General] qwerp_:
For those that ask for update.

CPW website is now showing.

For 64gb

FREE delivery expected by week commencing 15th December

and 32gb

FREE delivery expected by week commencing 1st December
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Just had cpw customer service phone me back the dates been pushed back from the 1st to the 15th

Only thing she would say was they have a special team dealing with it

SPECIAL NEEDS MORE LIKE IT

ANOTHER QUALITY **** UP MOTOROLA GOOGLE AND CPW OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I did a web chat and the guy said it would be Monday 1st, then there's the Facebook response saying they're trying to fulfill for the 1st. I've had a manager call me back who said he understands the lack of communication is wrong as they updated customers previously on iPhone 6 and Samsung Note 4 delays but nothing on the Nexus 6. He's checking with the warehouse team about what's going on and relaying up to senior management. I'm thinking compensation now, perhaps a moto 360?
[Nexus 6  General] j0nnymoe:
So I just got off the phone from CPW.... For click and collect, will be dispatched on the 1st Dec for pick up on the 3rd :|

Didn't even bother saying "well it says on your website the 15th" so pretty much seems pot luck responses now.

Time to wait and see what info leedsnyc gets..
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
yes please! and/or a nexus 7 :D
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
They should throw in a 360 for the inconvenience after all 3 companies are involved

They could split the cost between them as an incentive not to have another farce like this one

Just got a Blue Nexus 6 from the Play Store with a despatch date of 24th December.
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
32GB is back in stock on GPS.
[Nexus 6  General] dodgydave100:
White 32Gb now in stock at the Play Store. Despatch date 24th December.
[Nexus 6  General] mikeparkie:
64GB White, come on already!
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Here's a question, would you prefer Google's release schedule to be around then Feb - April time... Could get a snap 808 in there
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
Waiting for 64gb blue so I can cancel my cpw order! Don't mind the extra wait. Come on!!!
[Nexus 6  General] Perchy35:
Agreed!! Could it be tonight. Seems 6.10pm is a key time to change inventory on GPS
[Nexus 6  General] Hereisphilly:
Ordered a 32gb blue from play store, now do I cancel my cpw order, and have the google one with better support and 6 months play music but later on, or go for the cpw one? Choices!!!!
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Use Spotify? Lol
[Nexus 6  General] Hereisphilly:
Haha yeah tbh the google play all access isnt a big selling point, the warranty and support is the much bigger attraction!

I know firsthand how rubbish cpw can be
[Nexus 6  General] Nursi:
I might be able to live with that price. Maybe. But it's too big! I haven't seen an overall size yet but if the screen is 6" the overall must be 7"; my pockets aren't that deep :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
Nexus 6 and iPhone 6+ side by side. :)

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 6  General] mrsim:
no OTG....WTF....i really was thinking about having the N6 as my first ever nexus...but no OTG...on a 'premium device'..is not ideal for the price that they are asking...i have an OPPO FIND 7 QHD with a 2K screen and boy does that screen eat up the battery life...have been doing my best to find a fix for that but as yet nothing..so hopefully...with developers like [MENTION=3685904]ak[/MENTION] making kernels for the nexus range maybe a solution will be found

i also own a OPO and i gotta say for the price this device is off the charts...with AK kernel on stock CM11s i popped over 50,000+ on antutu v5...and all for £270...will let you guys know that 2K screens are pretty much a gimmick my brothers note II easily matches 2K for clarity,don't get me wrong..HD movies are truly beautiful but they are just as good on the note II is very hard to see the difference

so what is the nexus 6 really going to offer us besides lollipop as stock...from what i can see a big hole in my bank balance for a device made by motorola who i have never considered as premium device builders...they mainly catered for the mid-range user so will keep my eye on the forum/thread and see how all you guys feel once you have the device in hand and can tell us more about it

p.s. the OPPO FIND 7 is without doubt THE ONLY PREMIUM DEVICE when it comes to hardware in 2014...you will have to hold one to know what i mean
[Nexus 6  General] MattBooth:
The only thing Premium about it is the price. Thai marked or up and people then call our premium.

But think of this:

Chrome no longer comes installed by default. Neither does Hangouts or Google mail (not gmail).

This is obviously to avoid any kind of anti-trust issues from bundling all their own stuff.

They're also marketing to carriers aggressively and rant this phone to there with iPhone and Galaxy obv the carriers list.

This is the reason for the jump in price. Easily.
[Nexus 6  General] 3473:
And the display, and the CPU, and the GPU, and the amount of RAM, and the size of the battery, and the metal, and the camera, and the one hour charging time

But yeah, just the price
[Nexus 6  General] MattBooth:
Mate, they all cost a pittance to produce and purchase. The OPO ships with the same camera lens and RAM capacity (which is LPDDR3 1866MHz as well) and is only £269.

Try to get past the first sentence and read the rest. Google HAVE inflated the price and that will most likely be down to OEM pressure not to undercut them massively. If they didn't, they'd be unfriendly and unwilling to make another device for Google in the future. The higher price is more of a necessity than it is about premium.

Fact is they could have easily charged much less and still turned a profit. The reason they haven't isn't anything to do with having a "premium" device on their hands. It's literally out of a necessity. Motorola, LG, Samsung and HTC aren't going to want to do cheap phones for Google to undercut them with at a carrier level, and Google are pushing hard for a carrier presence.

EDIT:

And the NExus 5 had the best CPU available, matching 2GB the same as other flagship phones. The battery was slightly lesser, but only marginally. The camera was a good sensor, the software just sucked (which was Google's fault, not the hardware). The display was large and an IPS panel. The speakers were in line with other flagships, except HTC who sported stereo.

The N5 was no slouch and was not a "premium" price, but was still a flagship phone that bested other manufacturers flagships.

Why should the N6 be different? Because of the reasons I stated above. They have to charge more so as not to screw their competition (and potential business partners for other Google phones).
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_6_blue_32gb

Still no price though.
[Nexus 6  General] EddyOS:
You can use the same for the 64GB models too

https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_6_white_64gb
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Lol yep, I'd already checked that.

Still no prices shown aaaghhh

- I hope you guys have installed Lollipop on your N5 - it's done serious Eye Candy & much faster too!

Loveeeee it.

It's gonna look even more amazing on my Nexus 6 :)
[Nexus 6  General] skibadee:
32gb nexus 9 is £399 on play store right now, won't the nexus 6 be cheaper in theory?
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
LOL what makes you think that?

The Nexus 5 was more expensive than the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 6  General] skibadee:
Point taken but specs are a bit different this time around.
[Nexus 6  General] akhan47:
No, it's more expensive in the US so it will be the same here.

I'm afraid to say by my calculations the Nexus 6 will will be somewhere around the £450 mark and that's only the 32gb model :(
[Nexus 6  General] skibadee:
Should have read up more, assumed n9 was kind of nexus 10 league.

It looks like you work out currency from $ to £ then add £100 = ripped off lol
[Nexus 6  General] bigf00t:
Even if you do a straight conversion and add vat it's still over £480 for the 32gb. I'm pretty sure it'll be over £500.
[Nexus 6  General] akhan47:
Yes, we will get ripped off.

I think I will just pay off the year I have left on my N5 contract with O2 and then get the N6 on contract with them. O2 refresh means I only have to pay £288 if I want to upgrade today. Then I can get the N6 for little or no upfront cost.

Will probably end up paying £35+ a month though :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6  General] skibadee:
Now the note 4 is getting some good camera reviews (and the Nexus 6 camera is not sounding that great) I might get the note after all. Apart from the stereo speakers and faster software updates the N6 doesn't look so good at these prices.

I'm waiting for amazon to get more stock then I can return the N4 if the camera still disappoints me (my note 3 camera drives me nuts).
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
I can't believe nobody out there, all these UK tech sites & blogs has managed to find out the actual price for the UK.

Its so frustrating.

At least we know the Nexus Player will be £79
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
According to android police, pre orders for the nexus 6 will start on October 29th and is currently USA only but expected to expand abroad in time

[Nexus 6  General] theoneofgod:
I was thinking £500 for 32GB and £550 for 64GB. Now I'm looking at £520/£600. Google is changing the Nexus principles.
[Nexus 6  General] Lerinsol:
So the 64GB blue edition is again available for pre-order on the Play store but just for Germany and Italy. What about the UK and France? This is ridiculous.
[Nexus 6  General] NexusHexus:
This is my reason lol, but to be fair I think I managed to order from the 1st batch of pre-orders that went live on GPS., so I'm hoping thats works in my advantage and they ship mine earlier then their date of the 16th.

I just went for the safe option so what if it takes a little longer to come, at least I know the waranty is sound
[Nexus 6  General] Ayuxxi:
Looks like only 32gb Midnight Blue and Cloud White at the moment on play store for 3-4 weeks delivery. Might still be updating the 64gb.
[Nexus 6  General] Hereisphilly:
I'm siding more and more with your way of thinking, its only 2 more weeks, maybe 3

The question is do I cancel cpw or keep it and flip it on fleabay? Hmm..
[Nexus 6  General] disk0360:
Just got told 1st December on live chat for my White 64gb from CPW:silly:
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah I wouldn't really hold your hopes up on CPW, I've just had a lengthy conversation with a stuck up complaints guy who contradicted himself a lot and said that CPW can't and won't act on a"brief " communication received from Motorola. He said that he can't confirm if the delay affected all orders or those after the 21st or one variant against another. They won't even entertain compensation! Trading standards anyone?

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

Has anyone ordered from GPS just now? What's the date of expected delivery?
[Nexus 6  General] NexusHexus:
I think they would've up'd the 64gb at the same time as they up'd the cloud white 32gb. But tbh nowadays I don't know what the hell Google are doing. They must have 5 year olds controlling their release
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Well I can honestly say this is the first problem that I've encountered with cpw and I can honestly say that it'll be the last because i won't be using them again
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Same here. The guy I spoke to was so stuck up his own arse! At least the manager I spoke to earlier was more helpful so I'll get a reply from him tomorrow about what he's heard back from the warehouse.
[Nexus 6  General] Perchy35:
Seems the 32gb is staying in stock for longer on GPS for once!
[Nexus 6  General] Ayuxxi:
At least the person knew about the phone, last person I spoke too didn't even know it existed. :eek:
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
The woman that i spoke to earlier phoned back after getting in touch with the "SPECIAL" team at the warehouse saying date had been pushed back

She was very apologetic about it

Nonetheless I'm still very pissed because of the lack of communication from them
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
It's just been a mess from the word go. I can't think who else to turn to now. Maybe complain to Google and Motorola? Wouldn't get far would I!

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

The guy I spoke to in complaints said "the information wasn't enough for them to act on" so I said they should have clarified with Motorola what it meant etc but they just sat on it. His response was "no one would do that and we wouldn't send a mass message saying there could be a delay but we can't say for sure". He was so smarmy, felt like reaching down the phone and knocking him out!
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
24th December
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Nice Christmas present I guess. At least you don't get any problems from GPS as we might get with CPW
[Nexus 6  General] NexusHexus:
Seems like Canada are getting a very similar process to us in the UK looking at the Canadian N6 thread. Except they didnt give us the option of 64gb yet
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
I hate twats like that so arrogant till you see them face to face
[Nexus 6  General] dodgydave100:
Since i've FINALLY been able to order the phone now i need to get a case/cover for it. I was looking at a Ringke clear cover but have seen the name Spigen mentioned several times in this thread. Is Ringke or Spigen better than the other as far as protection is concerned and which Spigen is best (i've already selected which Ringke one if thats my final choice).
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
This is the one I ordered

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00OH4I2LY
[Nexus 6  General] dodgydave100:
Thanks leedsnyc. That Spigen model was the exact one i was looking at and i was comparing it to the Ringke one i had picked. Both Spigen and Ringke look great its a tough choice.
[Nexus 6  General] bigf00t:
I have to say I'm very calm about the delays. I knew from the moment I ordered I wouldn't be getting the phone before the 15th, regardless of what the cpw website said. That's the date I expect it and it'll be a nice treat if it's any earlier. I'm surprised people took it as concrete and are now shocked/angry to find that they won't be receiving their phones on the 1st.

That said, if you all kick up a fuss and end up with free watches and tablets, I too will be shocked and upset to have been lied to by CPW.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah they do. I've not used the Ringke ones before but always had spigen and haven't had any problems. Just depends on how chunky you want the case over protection.
[Nexus 6  General] mavronn:
Why wouldn't the warranty be sound elsewhere; retail laws still apply regardless?
[Nexus 6  General] dodgydave100:
Thanks again leedsnyc. I'd rather add a few millimeters to the phone to get extra protection as my Nexus 4 has a few chips in it as i have dropped it a few times. Am pleased i've finally nabbed a N6 though.
[Nexus 6  General] nightmare911:
hi

This is a silly question but what store is GPS. its because i just recently moved to England
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah they are universal it's just the way it's handled. Apparently Google will just send you a replacement if there's a problem whereas anyone else would have to look at it for a few weeks and then give it you back or send you to Motorola for warranty issues.
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
These companies shouldn't be allowed to take money from people for pre-orders though, and only charge on shipment. I'm surprised more of a fuss wasn't made after Phones4U took everyone's iPhone money.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Google play store lol
[Nexus 6  General] mavronn:
So does CPW have a bad rep when it comes to handing warranties?
[Nexus 6  General] nightmare911:
Now i just feel like an idoit lol :p
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
It's true, the money should only be taken once a phone has been allocated to your order. When I questioned that at CPW, one person said that CPW wasn't holding the money but didn't understand what "holding account" meant, the other said that's how everyone else does it. Not one said that it should be done that way in the first place giving people the option to go elsewhere instead of having to wait for the money to come back from CPW.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

Not had any dealings with warranty to be honest. Most probably the same as anyone else. Take it in, check out out and return the phone repaired or replace it.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Its more that its them doing the repair, so if the last 50 posts on here are anything to go by you wouldn't want to do that!
[Nexus 6  General] NexusHexus:
It's often one thing knowing what's going to happen. and the other is how it's handled. I prefer ordering certain items from the source. Often they handle queries quicker and, if for example the item needs to be replaced, a big company usually swaps it outright without questions or hassle as they will often strive more to keep their customers happy. Although if you go through other companies, sometimes they have to send the items to the supplier for parts for the repairs or replacement and may take longer.

Now I'm not implying CPW is worse as I haven't used them for this purpose. But I do not want to find out... by using them, and when it's really needed to let me down. Look they already have let people down. Sorry that's the way I see it.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Well I ordered on the 22nd so I don't even know where I stand I never had a date, still no email. I just better hope they hadn't sold all the first batch of devices by that morning!
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
The guy I spoke to in complaints at CPW was suggesting that if the site said 1st December despatch at the point you ordered then you should be within your right to expect it on that day. If it doesn't arrive on the 1st for example, you have a valid complaint to make.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Same one I got, ordered Sunday was delivered yesterday.

Haha I was the same way when I ordered mine. I'll probably sell one I've got already. In time for Christmas! Someone will buy it!
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
It must be people like you going back then cancelling that is bringing it in and out of stock!

...I received cover Spigen (I used to use this brand on N5 very happy ) yesterday and looks to me hugeeee compare to N5 . Also I was told today by live chat on CPW website I should get N6 64gb blue 1'st of December. I cant wait moreeeeee bring it on:)

Here is the cover

Its pretty sturdy, feels strong even with nothing in it, the plastic on the edges feel good quality. Can't really judge how the buttons will be but this case will definitely do.
[Nexus 6  General] barry_:
32 Blue has popped up again in the Play store, if anyone's interested :)
[Nexus 6  General] Maker of Clouds:
Just another rant: called CPW again to confirm few details. At the end gentleman says, that due to the manufacturing issue, orders will start shipping from 15th. Or later... If this is true (and I believe he is right, given recent events) I'm cancelling my order and after this fiasco never look at Nexus. Apple can manage, Samsung, Sony, LG they all can manage start of selling new devices. And Google? I might be wrong, but I don't remember such problems in past. No official announcement, no solid date, etc. On 12th I'm leaving for 6 weeks holiday, not going chase Nexus in Alps... And when I come back something new will be def around the corner. So, now I need find someone who wants to buy BNIB aaccessories for mobile phone nobody actually seen...
