To be honest any phone with on screen buttons and a Snapdragon could be an Android Silver phone tomorrow. But Google would have so spend money marketing money on Promoting a subset of Android phones instead of all of them.

The only issue is Motorola can't build enough phones quick enough, the phone is too popular, Lollipop got too many people wanting it, people Selling Note 4s for it, I've never even seen a Note 4 in a High street store here just dummies lol
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Yeah I agree but they know from previous Nexus launches they should have learnt from and produced enough to meet expected demand
[Nexus 6  General] disk0360:
Going to call and cancel tomorrow if there's been a credit check. Could do without all this on the lead up to Christmas. I have another order with gps for a 32gb blue n6 which will be enough to tell me if I like it or can do with sticking with my oneplus, which is an awesome phone btw
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
Shipping Date

Not sure about all the credit check malarkey, i will be sure to check mine tomorrow.

I ordered the 64gb cloud white version from CW on the 18th, on the 18th both the 32gb and 64gb in either colors were expected to ship by the 1st aka yesterday... but that soon changed quickly for the 64gb version which said 15th of dec only a couple of days later, this would make sense as the google play store are not even taking pre-orders for the 64gb at the moment!

I then got a text from CW saying i can expect it delivered by the 8th by DPD ( i ordered to the store ). So i then went on the CW website and noticed the 32gb model NOT the 64gb was moved to the 8th, so if you ask me it was an error by CW and i dont expect to see my 64gb nexus 6 until the 15th and to be honest i have little faith in that date at all, as clove are listing the nexus 6 for the 22nd, i wouldnt be surprised if i get mine in January at this rate!

I have also noticed the white models seem to be extremely hard to get hold of, blue seems much more easy to get hold of both in the USA and UK it seems, so if you are like me and got a 64GB White its a double rarity!

This is an absolute joke... i don't blame CW and i don't blame Google so much, I blame Motorola, they seem to think the only country in the world is the USA, they release all their phones in Europe late and the firmware late too... im using a moto x 2nd gen on kitkat while usa had lollipop ages ago! As far as i remember all previous nexus releases have been pretty internationally synchronized worldwide, but Motorola has left out Europe and the rest of the world as per usual!

But lets hope we are all pleasantly surprised on the 8th eh...
[Nexus 6  General] sjdean:
I ordered the 64 Gig version on 19th November. I've had confirmation emails, but no details of Shipping.

Im disappointed that Carphone Warehouse billed my credit card before having the stock in. I emailed them and they replied about doing it so that they can ship as soon as the goods come in. Strange how Amazon and most of the rest of the retail world don't suffer with that problem. And I don't even expect to get the phone by the 15th - or even this year. They will be holding onto my money for at least a month. Poor.

I have some sympathy, because nothing is stopping people placing orders all over the place waiting for the first ship and cancelling the rest.

1st December for both 32 Gig and 64 Gig? I wondered if they had some kind of deal with Motorola. But I can't help but feel that it was a ploy to get orders and then they push the date back..

Still, Carphone Warehouse seem to be the only provider who has access to the 64 Gig. So. I'll keep the order for now.

[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
I ordered my white 64gb ion the 18th, moneys taken and first in line to get a device according to mobicity, pending forfillment A.

There has bewn no date fron them in anyway shape or form, customer service took over a week to reply to three questions about release and gave me a fobbed off answer, mobicity used to be good they now suck becuawe they have my money and custimer support is poor and there is no dates yet !
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Ok guys just got off the phone with equifax the credit search that CPW has done is a soft search to verify identity and does not have any impact on your credit scores

I WISH CPW WAS AS STRAIGHT WITH THEIR ANSWERS
[Nexus 6  General] kite86:
Something is moving on GPS. Until yesterday in my orders on GPS it was showing "leaves wharehouse in 2-3 weeks" now my order is showing "leaves by 16/12" Hope it'll ship this week :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6  General] jaimbo:
UPDATE: I sent support an email a few days ago and just received this now:

Hello Mr *******,

*

Thank you for your email and the additional information we requested.

*

I’m sorry to hear that you have no information about the delivery of your new purchase from Carphone Warehouse.

*

I can confirm that delivery is expected week commencing 8 December 2014. You will receive txt messages and emails from Carphone Warehouse and DPD with updates as soon as we send the item out.

*

Motorola have delayed the date they was going to send us the stock.

*

I send my sincere apologies for any inconvenience that this may of caused you.
[Nexus 6  General] JCM800:
I read that '3' won't be stocking the Nexus 6 incidentally.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah they're not stocking it at all. Guess it's OK if you can afford sim free but a pain of you have a contract with them
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Went into CPW as they sent me the wrong email, and got served by a guy waiting for one himself!

He said he was told the 8th but best ring customer services with your order number if you did it online as the Stores are a different part of the business, what he said could be not the right thing (like if they sit on information!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), so yeah, sim Swap done, Nano sim adapter in current phone..
[Nexus 6  General] pifsworld:
Has anyone else read the article in the inquirer its saying that carphone warehouse have put the launch back to the 8th but are still not sure when the handset will be available as Google aren't updating them and that mobilefun have put 22nd December launch apparently the new lollipop os is causing major app and battery drain issues.. Hope this is just speculation..
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Yeah i saw that, honestly think they are talking out their asses as well... don't see how a lollipop update that might come would hold back the phone launch in Europe... i can just update when i turn it on or a week later, its already out in America so lets GO!
[Nexus 6  General] pifsworld:
Hope there wrong as I'm waiting on one from cw and I got the text saying DPD would be texting me the delivery info on the 8th this week will drag by just hope I don't get another text pushing the date back again.
[Nexus 6  General] Super Chimp:
If it gets pushed back further will people be tempted to cancel?
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
We knew there would be some form of delay and I guess we pre ordered knowing this so I'm not too bothered....at the moment.

I got a text from DPD today and panicked thinking it was for the phone but was for something else :(
[Nexus 6  General] sjdean:
If the 64 Gig was held up beyond 15th, I'd probably cancel and wait for the release. Or I might just have to buy another phone as my phone is slowly dying. Quite frankly, letting Carphone Warehouse take £550 of my hard earned cash before they even know they're going to have the device in stock is abysmal treatment.
[Nexus 6  General] Sennfire:
CPW site spilling out quite possibly false hope again...

That date was only showing up for Blue 64 GB.
[Nexus 6  General] splendid2k:
Possible delay text from CPW tomorrow?

So last Thursday (27th Nov) at 17:15 I got the standard text from CPW about my 64GB MB device being delayed until Mon 8th Dec.

Anyone wanna take bets on a similar text this Thursday to advice of further delays (possibly 15th Dec)?

I'm really not feeling confident i'll be receiving my device in less than a week (based on what I'm seeing on XDA and reddit).
[Nexus 6  General] Barso1:
I don't believe for one second that we'll see any CPW 64GB dispatches before the 15th.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Well the guy in the store seem to think I would get my phone before him and before the 8th, and I didn't even order on the 18th. It was after that when he said don't quote him on that we are just the shop lol
[Nexus 6  General] leec_83:
Just spoke to Vodafone who confirmed they have the Nexus 6 32GB Midnight Blue in stock awaiting dispatch and will receive this week. Also got a free Moto 360 coming with it :good:
[Nexus 6  General] mys3:
Out of curiosity I went into CPW tonight, the gent I spoke to said they've been told their is still no official date that stock will be in.
[Nexus 6  General] l.m.prowse:
From past experience, the stores don't know what stock they're being sent until it arrives, Back when I first ordered the M7, I went through 5 before I had one without defects, but they would tell me to call up each time, because they didn't know what stock would be arriving and when, so I'd say the customer service guys are more reliable as they're able to contact the warehouses and get dates, whereas stores get allocated stock without them knowing.

Personally I'm just gunna assume that moto have told them the 15th , seeing as say Vodafone have the 32gb in stock, that maybe the 64gb is delayed, just gunna stick to the 15th, and if it arrives before yay, if not meh, I'm one of the first in line to get it when they eventually get stock, if I can pick one up physically elsewhere first, I'll do it, if not, nothing I can do about it but wait, cancelling my order would get me nowhere aha :P
[Nexus 6  General] warnesey333:
Are you able to track your order on their tracker website? I've had confirmation of my account number and that I will receive the Moto watch, but my order is still not tracking.
[Nexus 6  General] stevie_boy:
Mine isn't tracking, still stuck at order received....
[Nexus 6  General] leec_83:
I've tried tracking the order using the web number but says order details are invalid?! Anyway the guy I spoke to spent some time looking into it and confirmed stock is at warehouse so wait and see I guess.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Very interesting, least it's hitting the UK shores!
[Nexus 6  General] Phantom Shadow:
Spoke to vodafone today as when I tried the tracker on their website it said my details are invalid. Got passed through a few people who couldn't find my order, then one guy with access to the 'new system' was able to find it. He called the warehouse who said they didn't have the stock yet but I will be contacted 24 hours before I get the phone, which should be this week.

So if the online tracker can't find your order it's probably just on the new system and the tracker hasn't got access to that. Seems a bit of a mess tbh. Whether or not the warehouse actually have stock it sounds like we should be getting the phone by Friday at least.
[Nexus 6  General] iRimas:
good news guys... its happening

View attachment 3045013
[Nexus 6  General] Dan_2k_uk:
Hi guys.

Also told by vodafone after lots of bouncing between departments that my Nexus 6 with 360 watch promotion should be trackable from thursday or friday morning and should be with me shortly after. Hope for us vodafone guys they actually have the stock and it comes on friday as they say.

Good luck everyone else who has ordered from elsewhere. This whole thing is a shambles.
[Nexus 6  General] bigf00t:
Nope. I don't believe Vodafone either.
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
PaulOBrien just tweated:

Morning folks! Waiting for a 64GB Nexus 6 in the UK? I'm hearing the high capacity model is likely to be further delayed! ?

He also tweated that we wouldnt see the 32gb model unti december so hes had good info on shipping dates.
[Nexus 6  General] disk0360:
Time to call cpw and give them the good news. Paul is rarely wrong on these things. Time to get some health back in the old credit card and wait until the new year I think.

Oh and well done google for making the UK launch a total farce

Sent from Bacon+1
[Nexus 6  General] D3VI0US:
Not only UK launch, Google ****ing it up completely .. Read the news everyday on the tech website and you'll find that whoever driving this thing in Google is a total idiot from launch to preorder mess and delays then the exclusive deal and this morning giving the carriers the call to push the OTA for you or not ... I don't know what the **** is wrong with Google this year
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah I read that about the change in their terms regarding ota releases. All of a sudden changing it so that carriers have the decisions when to send the ota defeats the object of the nexus lines entirely (besides stock firmware of course). That means the nexus phones will most probably experience the same delays as other phones when getting the ota. Isn't that Sundar Pichai the head of the android division at Google? He's totally lost it!

This is the new wording:

“Once an update is available, it can take up to two weeks for it to reach your device. Based on your carrier, it may take longer than two weeks after release to get an update”.

Of course this could mean nothing and no delays. If there are any delays it'll mean if you want the update sooner you'll have to flash the firmware yourself.

5.0.1 lollipop is now available by the way. Factory images on Google developer website.
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
This was to be my first nexus device have having HTC only for years but I got fed up of both the carrier not pushing out updates then HTC abandoning the devices (HTC one X+) before its been out 2 years.

The whole point for me buying a sim free nexus was to avoid all of that :(
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Same here. I bought the nexus to get away from the delays. It could mean nothing and that the nexus phones will still get the update early. It's not in the carriers best interest to delay but who knows what will happen.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Well the 64GB date slip is on the CPW site, hardly a secret now, they are just changing these things on time now!

And the wording change is so people don't complain, the Galaxy nexus had OTA delays due to US carriers, this just means there is more than Likely a Verizon Nexus coming.
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
Yup says 22nd of December now on the CPW website for the 64GB model. Im in work at the moment to cant call them has anyone called to see if the dates of the 8th or 15th they have previously given us are now out the window?
[Nexus 6  General] Scottatron:
Anything for the 32gb via Clove/Handtec? Seems they are saying 22/12 still. Where as Vodafone are saying in the next week?
[Nexus 6  General] mavronn:
I suppose it's wishful thinking to expect those of us who ordered the 64gb on the 18th to still get it next week?

Just a matter of waiting for another text from CPW I guess..
[Nexus 6  General] alvintc:
I'd like to think the date update is for those ordering now. You'd think they would let the people waiting know before updating the site... I think I'm just going to stop checking & wait for my phone patiently. I ordered on the 18th (64gb blue) so I'm guessing I'm in line for the 1st batch..
[Nexus 6  General] disk0360:
On the phone now, its not looking good for the 64gb model :(
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Yeah either some phones are coming this week and Voda are posting and CPW are sending them to stores, or no phones are coming before the 22nd and those said retailers just got fobbed off/lied from the beginning.

I hope Voda get there's at least then we know some have actually been manufactured!
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
I've also got a 64Gb ordered through Carphone Warehouse. I spoke to someone this morning about the new date on the website and they told me that mine is still due to go out from the warehouse on Friday for delivery on Monday, and that the current date being shown is for those that place an order as of today.

Not that I believe them though.
[Nexus 6  General] meletios:
Not sure if you mean that in lieu of the Updates, because if its sim-free then its does not matter as you should be getting the updates directly from Google, not your sim carrier.

Pay-as-you-go phones might still have to wait for their carriers to release the updates..

Having said that this is the first time in my life I am buying a phone from CPW as I normally tend to avoid middle men and so far the experience has been very bad.

Also I dont know if they tamper with the sim free phones...
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
I think this has been blown out of proportion personally, pretty sure its google covering their asses for Verizon, who have to add some software.. if you have a sim free phone i highly, highly doubt your update will be delayed.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Googles on the same wavelength as the conservative government this year **** up after **** up
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
That's my worry as I've always got mine phones from the carrier before, I'm hoping that sim-free will be just that not bound to any carrier etc. I was more commenting on the fact that I hope the move is purely a small thing as people have already stated instead of being a sign of though carrier bound having to suffer long delays.
[Nexus 6  General] Ayuxxi:
Looks like cpw reckon they have 64gb cloud white in stock right now. Don't think I'll rely on them on giving me a date for delivery and just going to wait for that DPD text.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
See I'm old school I remember having to flash Carrier Sony Ericsson phones to the CPW firmware just to get further updates so not even worrying about that side of things I just want the phone to exist!
[Nexus 6  General] l.m.prowse:
Just called them, they said I can expect the 64gb or be ready for in store collection on the 24th, not amused at all
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
When did you place your order?
[Nexus 6  General] l.m.prowse:
10am on the 18th :/ so in theory I should be the first batch :/
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Wonder if it's just the 64gb that's delayed
[Nexus 6  General] l.m.prowse:
If it is, and I can get my hands on a 32gb, I'll cancel my order
[Nexus 6  General] qwerp_:
Online Chat agent told me to expect it on the 22nd Dec.

(64 gb)

:( WTF!!!
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
They better give the people who've been delayed some kind of compensation.... Moto 360 please :)

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
I haven't heard of any more delays to the 32gb just yet, so may be a chance
[Nexus 6  General] l.m.prowse:
I'll wait and see how people receive them, and keep checking local stock, getting bored of waiting now aha
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Think you guys are getting a little bit mixed up with all the different information being given out. I've said this a few times before, don't go off anything you get from the front line telephone staff or online chat as they don't know anything. They don't check nor do they give correct info. The dates given are for NEW orders, not orders that have been placed already.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Just to update - It was just confirmed to me that the 64Gb Blue sim-free I ordered will be delivered on Monday. I ordered on the 19th, but when I asked about some people being informed of delays who ordered on the 18th, I was told order date does not matter - it is down to the date the order was confirmed, and depending on your bank it may have taken 2-3 days for the order to be confirmed. I bank with HSBC and got confirmation within a few hours. RBS on the other hand were having issues, and it took up to a week for some of their orders to be confirmed, so have been pushed further down the line.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
cpw like to confirm things quite a bit... It rarely comes true though lol, will have to wait and see I guess
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
I am just off the phone with CPW as well. I ordered on the 18th in the morning too white 64gb and given a date of the 24th, I do get the feeling that is the date for new orders not ones made on the 18th.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Yep - can only hope. I'm going away for Christmas on the 18th, so it better damn well be here by then. Grrr.
[Nexus 6  General] fleonard:
Same situation as you.

I'm leaving London for 20 days on the 19th so if they keep postponing the delivery I'm gonna cancel my order.

Let's see if there's any new text update tomorrow or friday like past week
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
That's just it, I ordered with CPW because they were the only ones selling the 64GB model, if they don't ship it WC as their last text said they would on the 15th (and offered me compensation for the delay in that text), then I think I may just cancel with them get my money back and get it direct from GPS when ever they get around to listing it.

What annoys me about this is the moving goal post's, if it was going to take until the 23rd of December and that's what they had on the website originally id be ok with that (though of course would have preferred to have it sooner).

Its the you will have it on the 1st, now its the 8th, now its the 15th, now its the 23rd/24th, that is frustrating. Google I think knew about the delays all along because that explains why they haven't opened up the 64Gb model up for pre-order yet. CPW I suspect knew about this all along as well but opened up pre-order to get people's money in and then broke the delivery promises after the fact thinking well we have their money now so many people wont bother cancelling.

Perhaps I'm over thinking it but that certainly is what it seams like to me.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Yeah they know nothing about your order they are just going off the last email sent to them saying what dates to say. Just called them myself it was pointless really.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I also think people are getting themselves worked up for no reason. Guys take it easy and stop getting yourselves pent up with information that most likely doesn't even apply to your orde or is incorrect. We've got a few days left to see if the despatch emails comes so just chill until then.

On the point of compensation, they won't give you anything as it's not CPW's fault that the phones are being delayed. The communication has been rubbish but the delays are all down to Motorola.
[Nexus 6  General] captainletenje:
It's just so frustrating. They really shouldn't be making promises they can't make, and they should definitely keep their story straight.

I rang CPW on Sunday before I read this thread and the rep then was telling me it should arrive 1st Dec... "It hasn't been picked yet but it should be soon" LOL.

I won't cancel yet but I'm not holding out for anything soon. Definitely going to be upset if its not before Christmas. I broke my N5 a month ago and waiting for the N6 seems especially painful now! :crying:
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
That's what im doing im waiting to see if they ship when they promised in their last text, the issue of compensation though is worth mentioning. They offered me £10 store credit on the last text they sent me without me asking for it, I don't think its right they offer that to me and not to other's suffering the same or greater delays. I'd rather them not offer any at all or offer it to all rather than only to a select few.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Yeah my only gripe is as no one knows anything either side *IF* my phone is ready to collect on the 8th, it was probably in the store Friday afternoon lol
