The normal order status page updated to show a carrier of FedEx and a shipping date of today. (Still no tracking number, however.) Oddly, the "business direct" order status page reverted back to "Expected Ship Date: Pending Confirmation." That's kind of odd.

If I do get the phone tomorrow (when I ordered today) it'll be the fastest fulfillment I've ever seen out of AT&T.
[Nexus 6  General] esincho:
Yes surr. Ordered last night actually
[Nexus 6  General] esincho:
The info
[Nexus 6  General] torred:
I ordered yesterday evening overnight.. Shows pending confirmation still.

Of course called freaking att today 3 times and their system is being updated they can't access anything told me to call back in few hrs.

Unbelievable ....Go att :good:
[Nexus 6  General] Pyros2008:
Are you all just buying the 32GB Blue from ATT? I haven't found the 64 yet and since it's only $50 more, the 32 is an absolute waste...IMO.
[Nexus 6  General] BAM1789:
Thanks for the oh so helpful contribution to this thread.. You obviously do not even have a Nexus 6 yet.
[Nexus 6  General] MrDSL:
Try the local stores. My rep txted me earlier that they got some in today.

I'm still on the fence
[Nexus 6  General] Pyros2008:
What the hell?

Of course I don't have one, that's why I asked what everyone else is getting because I can't find anything other than the 32GB Blue on the ATT site. Hence, I asked a question what others are buying. If the 64GB version costs only $50 more and there isn't an SD slot for additional storage, why bother with the 32GB? Sure, some folks may not need it, but I'd figure most people on these forums could use the additional storage for such a low extra cost.

As for contribution, the same goes for you being a complete ****..
[Nexus 6  General] esincho:
Bro if they sale the 64gb it won't be anytime soon. Only T mobile have it. No one have white either
[Nexus 6  General] TJB27:
Well i received mine last thursday and im in love with it. Im not really one to buy it just to root it and such, but i might down the road. I like it the way it is, i've had no issues with it other than it gets a bit warm sometimes. I got the at&t logo off the back which is a plus. Im just posting to say i hope everybody who has one or is waiting for one has a great experience! Also...remember no phone is perfect so don't put your hopes through the roof for any mobile device. :victory::laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] Pyros2008:
Ah, I was holding out till our local store got them, figuring they may have the 64 in white. Guess I'll just wait and buy it on the Google store then.

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] dnwright:
Ordered it this morning and its already shipped and due to arrive tomorrow mid day. Looking forward to rooting and getting pa on it.
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
It's driving me crazy the lack of clarity on if att will eventually carrying the 64gb version. I might have to get the note 4 if they don't. Unfortunately
[Nexus 6  General] LucidLethargy:
I've also heard AT&T phones are locked from using tethering without a paid plan. I've been led to believe Google Play versions do not have this restriction.

Yeah, as of today I am officially giving up on AT&T. I waited this long for that 64GB version, and now I'm going to try my best to get one directly from Google (while at the same time paying an extra $400 or so. My secondary justification is that at least AT&T won't get my money (well, the extra money anyway).
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
Hey, at least as far I have heard that is baked into the AOSP ROM and it does not matter where you buy the phone. Only a change to your build.prop or a custom ROM is going to change that.
[Nexus 6  General] LucidLethargy:
6535

Interesting, I wonder if someone in here with a play store model can confirm/deny that? Either way I intend to root my phone. I just about never use tethering, but I always want the option just in case. It's retarded that carriers restrict tethering.
[Nexus 6  General] Pyros2008:
My local ATT store just got in the 32GB Blue, they have no info on the 64 or white. Still holding out for the Google store, not sure if I missed them today or if they really have been hitting every Wednesday.
[Nexus 6  General] EniGmA1987:
You can get around the tethering thing, and also you arent paying an extra $400. ATT just hides the extra money in a way you arent noticing. When you buy on contract you pay like $200 or so up front, then you are locked in for 2 years. For each month of those 2 years you are paying an extra $10 a month for the line cost, so you are paying $240 there when buying on contract. So really when you buy from Google store you are only paying an extra $160, but it gives you the option to move to T-Mobile or another lower GSM carrier during your time with the phone if you want to,.
[Nexus 6  General] land2634:
And actually, when you're on a 10 GB or higher data plan, it's $25 a month more that you pay on contract after the $200 up front.
[Nexus 6  General] mron0903:
Got a pre order in Thursday of last week and my status still says preparing to ship! Wtf..

It's annoying to see some people ordered their phone Monday and it shipped the same day while I'm here checking my order status every hour...
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
Not really. There's trade-offs for both. Like mine on Next 12 is 34 a month for the phone and 15 a month for access after the 25 off. So that's 59 a month plus I end up paying full price if I keep the phone the full 20 months. The benefit is I can trade the phone in for another after 12 months. Sooner if I pay the remaining balance. 200 up front on a 2 year contract will be 40 a month for access, but you don't pay monthly on the phone. The downside being your locked in for 2 years no matter what. Can't upgrade early.
[Nexus 6  General] land2634:
Right. I think we're making the same point, but I don't think I made mine very well lol. I'm on Next 12 as well. It's definitely nice being able to upgrade earlier and not having to pay the entirety of the balance to do so.
[Nexus 6  General] jtwlbz:
I am sicken tired of checking google store for stock. Google is doing terrible job for releasing products with very few stock years now.
[Nexus 6  General] xoulu:
I just order another one on Monday and it was shipped last night. Would of gotten here Thursday but since its Thanksgiving it will be here Friday.
[Nexus 6  General] esincho:
It's here
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
If att does the same thing with this as they did the Note 2, they won't offer the 64Gb. The Note 2 was made as 16Gb or 32Gb. Att only ever carried the 16Gb, which was the one I had. Based on that experience, I'm not holding my breath for a 64Gb from att. I have the blue 32Gb in my hot little hands right now, as I ordered it on opening night.

based on reading the tech blogs, i'm pretty sure google is managing their supply of nexus phones exactly as they intended to. i don't think they do the nexus program to make money. if they were trying to make money at it there would be no shortages. they probably just want to get a few nexus phones out there into the hands of some well known developers and that's about it. the rest of us have to beg borrow steal whatever to get one. since google are the ones that make the android os, it would not be good for them to compete or put pressure on the various other handset makers that use android. iow, google doesn't want to make handsets, they want to spread android. if they sell too many nexus devices, that hurts the other handset makers, and slows the spread of android. at least that's what i think is happening.

-peter
[Nexus 6  General] dorioo:
If that was the case, then why bother even trying to have the nexus work on all 4 carriers? They could have just done like the nexus 5 and released it and have a few developers use it.

Given that they've gone to the trouble of working with all carriers, I don't expect a reliable supply in Google play until all the carriers are selling them in store. Otherwise, they would potentially cannibalize those sales which are important to them, for some reason, this time around.
[Nexus 6  General] marper123:
I think people are putting to much stock in the WiFi tether check that is performed when turning it on. This restriction will not affect anyone that is on a shared data plan as WiFi tether is free with that. If you are on one of the older or unlimited plans this could affect you however this is easily overcome by rooting and downloading one of the many available apps. Since most of us have been railroaded into a shared data plan its really no big deal.
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
100% agree. Out of everything ATT did, this matters the least. Also, affects ALL Lollipop devices, because it is baked into the ROM. Not just the ATT N6.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
Absolutely. Also if you buy the phone outright to begin with you still get 25 off a month for that line. I do like having the flexibility outside of a 2 year contract with the way I change phones.
[Nexus 6  General] mtucker:
I doubt ATT will get the 64GB version (not based on any solid info.... just past phone releases and gut feeling). I would much rather pay $50 more for 64GB, but as of now it would cost $400 more to get the 64GB unsubsidized from the play store (compared to the 32GB at ATT). That isnt worth it to me. My ATT plan costs me the same if I am on or off contract. If I saved $25/month staying off contract, I would probably be hitting F5 on Wednesdays. Mine arrived Tuesday morning (one day after we left on vacation). Looking forward to Friday when we return so i can unlock the bootloader and play.
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
$25 x 24 mo. Contract ~ $600.00

600 bucks is nothing to shake a stick at.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
If you have a 10gb or higher mobile share plan, you will get 25 off per month being off contract. But, I don't know what plan your on. Obviously anything else other than mobile share doesn't get the discount.
[Nexus 6  General] mtucker:
. I'm kickimg it old school with a grandfathered "unlimited data" plan. When I was off contract in May, I called and asked if i could get a monthly discount. Not on my current plan which i am hanging on to. Bought a N5 cash last year since it was so reasonable. Might as well use the subsidy since i dont get a discount.
[Nexus 6  General] xWasabi:
woo

Woo ordereded the 25th snd getting tomorrow. :)
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
Same here. Wish i could get a discount... But no way in hell am i giving up my grandfathered unlimited. And when/if they force me off, im going straight to t-mobile.

-peter
[Nexus 6  General] Nastrodamous:
anything, ill be missing by getting this one, can't seem to ever catch one on the play store and my local store has a couple.
[Nexus 6  General] jonnydopemsr:
It sucks just having to wait for the pricing though!
[Nexus 6  General] joshua.justice:
Grr :( why can't t mobile do preorders like att
[Nexus 6  General] jonnydopemsr:
Thought this would be helpful for others who are worried about bloatware on the Nexus 6. Take it as you please but bloatware won't stop me from getting it on AT&T cause a simple unlock and flash will take care of that problem.

[Nexus 6  General] ekerbuddyeker:
Are we sure they will lock the Device?
[Nexus 6  General] tawfiqmp:
Just hoping I can make this a pure Nexus device once I get it from AT&T. I definitely want OTA updates at the same time as the play store one.
[Nexus 6  General] clothednblack:
Just now, take it as you want
[Nexus 6  General] joshua.justice:
Maybe they meant that all the preorders on Google will work on all of them
[Nexus 6  General] jonnydopemsr:
From Motorola's site there are only 2 models. With that said no matter where you get it from it should be the same exact phone as if you were to get it from the Play Store.

[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Now I'm not sure. Chatted with a different Rep who said no date for the nexus 6 is set but should be in December
[Nexus 6  General] RoscoeDpG:
just seems some reps maybe do little more research then others, i have asked the question in person and online and i have been told it is confirmed and u should be able to just buy straight from google or moto and activate on your account. I just hope moto does pre orders as soon as google does i just want to get my order in already haha
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Are u talking about the att version or google play version?

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

I just chatted with att rep who researched and said:

Erika J.: There is absolutely no information about preorders.
[Nexus 6  General] RoscoeDpG:
well was saying about the att reps not knowing what to really say and maybe some know little more about coming phones. Also i was talking about that i have asked on vzw and att and got the answer that you could pre order from anywhere and just drop ur sim in it
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
I am starting to lose faith at pre orders starting tomorrow. Chatted with 2 online representatives recently who both said there is nothing about pre orders in their system
[Nexus 6  General] RoscoeDpG:
i have had a feeling the carrier pre orders wont be for another week i think and then the phone launching a week from that. But i still feel the moto site and google play will have them tomorrow
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Yeah that sounds about right. Too bad I had my hopes up earlier that att would have pre orders tomorrow.
[Nexus 6  General] aznalan15:
Asked some ATT reps via webchat, they don't know anything of the midnight release if there is one.

I played dumb and said "I can't seem to find the Nexus 6 by Motorola on your website".
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
So it seems earlier last night representatives said pre orders where happening today and then later in the night they said they had no info. What do you guys think happened? Maybe the information was removed?
[Nexus 6  General] SwimDrewid:

[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Anyone hear any updates on AT&T pre-orders?
[Nexus 6  General] osetivo:
WiFi Hotspot?

BAHAHAHA there is no way that AT&T will allow an unmodified device into the hands of its hostages.
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Ditto
[Nexus 6  General] 2015Ducatimulti:
Yeah I just picked up my second Nexus 6 my first one was from Motorola.com and I sold for that pretty penny and I just got the other one from my local store and I was really surprise that did not have any ATT apps on it, I heard from the first batch it had 2 Att apps on it, this doesn`t have any.:D
[Nexus 6  General] Jarheadflip:
Just got mine today at an at&t store and loving it, besides yhe couple seconds att boot animation and ringtones thats it no att apps at all
[Nexus 6  General] lyall29:
I just got my Nexus 6 yesterday from an at&t store, they had 6 in stock. I showed the rep the bundle and save deal for $50 off of a moto 360 when purchased at the same time as a Nexus 6, and they gave me the deal. I'm a happy camper. The rep also argued that the deal should not be valid since the Nexus 6 is made by LG.:eek: I told him that I am almost certain that the Nexus 6 is Motorola, and he said no, "they used to be made by Motorola but now they are made by LG". I asked him if he was sure about this, and he said " 100% sure". I just smiled and said, okay :D. I never rubbed it in his face, I figured when he finds out, that will be enough embarrassment. I love going to these stores.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
You're a lot nicer than I am. Lol
[Nexus 6  General] bodosom:
Both the phone and the box it comes in have the Motorola logo and the box says Motorola. Since it's hard to miss that (as well as the training program and public web site) perhaps the rep was pursuing another agenda.
[Nexus 6  General] Hoshneer:
Is this device updated through Google or AT&T?
[Nexus 6  General] oastjc:
ATT.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
No. Google.
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
LG

N6
[Nexus 6  General] marper123:
Do you have any proof of that? I don't think it is handled by AT&T at least that's what has been discussed over and over again seeing as everything on the phone is identical to the GP phones except for that silly boot animation.
[Nexus 6  General] garyd9:
Okay, I normally wouldn't quote/reply to this, but I just had to spend the extra few seconds typing a message thanking you for the sarcasm (when answering a question that's already been answered dozens of times in other threads.)

To the person with the question: It's NOT updated by AT&T. The firmware isn't AT&T's and the software update code doesn't point to AT&T servers. It's all google.

Here's what is different on the AT&T sold devices:

1. A logo printed on the back.

2. SIM locked (supposedly. I haven't personally checked.)

3. /oem partition contains a boot animation, some ringtones, and a property file that causes one of those ringtones to be used by default when the device boots for the very first time (after a userdata wipe/format.)

Otherwise, it's identical to the google/motorola sold devices as far as anyone has been able to tell. The 2 AT&T apps that seem to be preloaded are NOT pre-loaded - the device pulls them from google's servers if an AT&T SIM is in the device during a certain point of the first boot sequence. (I think, but am not sure, that someone has confirmed that this happens with a GP device as well if the AT&T SIM is pre-inserted before the device is first turned on.)

Gary
[Nexus 6  General] dtblair24:
You are right about a non AT&T device pulling the apps. I bought mine from sprint and its unmolested like the Google Play version.

But it did try to automatically download some AT&T apps.
[Nexus 6  General] LucidLethargy:
Strangely enough, I actually don't get any extra charges... I specifically asked them, and because I'm on a specific legacy family plan, I don't pay anything more for getting my phone through AT&T (or so they claim... we'll see what really happens.) For most people, however, you're absolutely right.
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
Anybody seen this:

-peter
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
Yep. Looks bad. This is still not an ATT only issue. Presumably, a Verizon or ATT sim in the phone will cause the same delay no matter where you bought your phone. OR, they will block by IMEI number somehow. OR, they will delay the ENTIRE update to everyone. Which is how it is looking right now. The 5.0.1 update released for all WiFi devices. Anything with an LTE radio in it looks to be delayed.

No matter which of the above is true, it's not good. We're going to be left side loading or flashing factory images at best, at worst, updates for all devices are delayed directly from Google.
[Nexus 6  General] jtwlbz:
Ordered yesterday from att and its delivering today. Fast.
[Nexus 6  General] Dawei87:
Has anybody with an at&t nexus 6 had success flashing the factory images using the flash-all script? I know a lot of people are having trouble with it but I wanted to make sure it didn't have something to do with this phone having the extra OEM partition. Also, I know you can erase the partition easily, but has anyone found a way to completely remove the partition?
[Nexus 6  General] garyd9:
The partition shouldn't be actually removed. All the nexus 6 devices have the partition - the only difference is what (if anything) is preloaded on it.
[Nexus 6  General] rans0m00:
Just confirming flashall didn't work for me. Had to manually flash each one. Oddly had this issue when flashing my nexus 5(or nexus 7... cant remember exactly) with lollipop. Flash 4.4.4 with flashall and no issue on the same nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Hopefully they aren't selling the recalled units. Stopped in a local corporate store today and they said they had them but we're told to send them all back right away for a recall.
[Nexus 6  General] bleuiko:
Is anyone able to find a store phone? I've been to so many AT&T store and have never seen a N6 on display. I have a N6 coming from Google Play but would like to give AT&T a AT&T N6 IMEI ao that I can be properly provisioned for LTE. I learned my lesson with my N5; if I just give them my own IMEI, it treats my phone as a flip phone since it can't find it in the system. If you have one on display in the store near you, can you share the IMEI from the display phone (mods: if this is not allowed I will remove it as it is a sensitive subject)?
[Nexus 6  General] chemguru:
You don't have to give ATT the IMEI, you just use an ATT SIM card (or stop by an ATT Store and ask for a nano SIM for your new device). I bought my N6 through the Moto site, and hopped into a store (once it was shipped) and picked up a SIM. Two reboots later, it's on LTE and receiving calls. You don't have to give them the IMEI; in fact, they didn't even ask to see mine. The provisioning occurs via the SIM which drops the 'nextgenphone' APN into the phone to allow for LTE.

--JamesT
[Nexus 6  General] bleuiko:
I will try this! When I went in for my N5 they insisted that I give them a IMEI...
[Nexus 6  General] moopile:
I'm quite certain they need the IMEI to activate the SIM. They had to activate several SIMs on mine the day I got it activated because of some account changes I was doing. Each time she had to enter the IMEI.

I did purchase the phone online through ATT, but it shouldn't make any difference as they all have the same SKU. On my OLAM my phone shoes up as an image with a broken link. Was showing as a flip phone. But I'm getting full LTE speeds. Faster than from my ATT purchased Note3.
[Nexus 6  General] rans0m00:
No IMEI needed for anytime I have gone in to get a sim for a new line or anything where I didn't buy the phone through them. They just ask what type of phone I am going to be using and they usually get a response something close to "idk I will flop between a few of them but if you have to put something I will probably be using my blah blah blah first" just telling them the model of the phone since I don't have the phone with me and I don't know the imei off the top of my head. Have had the easiest time with males... last time I said this to a female she gave me a confused look and said they need to know what device I will be using and I just told her I switch devices often so it doesn't matter what device I tell you I am using because in a day or two I will swap to a different one. I just told her I don't have a clue what my imei is but I am very sure ATT will know once I throw my sim card in to the device. Only time I have had any issue with data was when I was using a tmo note 3 on att network.... I had to do the make your own imei trick to get lte... beyond that always good to go.

Now that I think about it have even done a MIFI by just walking in saying I need to activate a MIFI on my account and within 15 minutes was out the door with a sim to throw in the MIFI.
[Nexus 6  General] moopile:
In my case I to the phone and box in with me. They may have just used it because it was readily available for them to.
[Nexus 6  General] XERO_Racer:
what?

so would i potentially have one of the defective units? I got until tomorrow to change mine out but mines working flawless bought on Nov 26th
