Alberta no sales tax out here only GST.
[Nexus 6  General] Mr. Shaded:
I'm in Alberta. I got the 64GB CW yesterday. That and the flip case $902 all in.
[Nexus 6  General] Kendaihou:
That's a good deal.

The tax in AB is about 5% right ?

Its 13% in ON. We get mauled.

Congrats. Hope you enjoy your phone.
[Nexus 6  General] Mr. Shaded:
Yea something like that.

Been waiting on this version for a while.

Ship date supposed to be tomorrow as well.
[Nexus 6  General] Sandman2749:
Glad to see that some people managed to grab a 64 white.

On a semi related topic, I stopped by the Telus store yesterday. The clerk let me handle to Nexus 6 for about 10 minutes.

Size - you need one hand just to hold. No way to snake a finger around to try to touch the screen.

Screen - Meh! I actually thought it looked grainy. And at max brightness it was just "okay".

Camera - I took a few pics in the brightly lit store. Again, meh! Typical crappy moto camera experience.

Overall, glad I didn't catch the "must buy at all costs" fever on this one. Solid phone for sure but worth 2-3 Nexus 5s? No.
[Nexus 6  General] krueger80:
Device Stock Checker is a marvel :) Got the 64 GB White before getting sold out again after 5 minutes!!!
[Nexus 6  General] chef_christoph:
Congratulations on the purchase! Glad to see some of the 64GB white actually available for those who had the patience to wait for it :)
[Nexus 6  General] 838Joel:
Just put an order on a MB 64gb!
[Nexus 6  General] davanw:
That demo unit must have been borked. The camera is fantastic, and the screen at max brightness is retina-burning ( turn off Adaptive Brightness, then turn the slider to Max and tell me your eyes aren't ruined ).

Ordered White 64GB

I ordered white 64GB Nexus 6 last night when I was randomly checking the website, I am from Toronto, Canada and it said will ship in 2,3 weeks. Hope I can get it by mid-February.

:o
[Nexus 6  General] force70:
Lucky you!

I have to admit ive somewhat lost my urge to pick this device up...would have bought one first day if google werent such a bunch of clowns....they are worse than OPO LOL.

Now the 810 devices will start popping up shortly so its kinda pointless to bother with this one even though i think its one of the best devices ever.

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3 or 2
[Nexus 6  General] emanisem:
I was going to give up as well but when I saw it available I had no other option but to buy it. If you are planning to wait then I guess Galaxy S6 is just around the corner and will definitely be a good option!
[Nexus 6  General] waqar.qu:
Placed an order for CW 32GB N6

It said it would leave the warehouse by February 13th (Friday).

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

For those who ordered on Google PlayStore, what sort of packaging did it come in (if any at all?).
[Nexus 6  General] mymusicathome:
Only difference from going to a carrier (nexus 6 box which you can find photos all over) is it will be inside a ups brown shopping box just big enough to fit the nexus 6 box. If you are not home you will find it in your mail box or on your doorstep
[Nexus 6  General] waqar.qu:
Is there anyway to tell it's from Google?

The reason why I'm asking is because a friend, who lives in a condo, ordered the nexus 5 last year from Google and it never arrived to her. Apparently someone had stolen it. I also live in a condo and I've ordered stuff in the past, and if the packages are too big to place in the mailbox, they would knock at your door, and if you're not there they place it in a post office for you to pick up (pretty safe). I'm just hoping it's in one of those brown paper packages.
[Nexus 6  General] waqar.qu:
Ordered it online on February 11. It shipped on February 11. Ever since Tuesday it kept showing 'destination scan' on concord Ontario for 5 days straight until I called ups and they said it would ship yesterday. It shipped yesterday and it said it shipped to its final destination and signed off by 'Orlando'. I didn't receive it. Called ups, ups told me to call google. Google said it went to Ingram micro or something like that which is one of the delivery clients google acquired for Canada. Spoke to Sonny from the shipping department who put it under investigation and now I have no idea where the package is or any sort of method to receive updates. They said they would email me if anything does happen and I should email them if I end up getting it in the mail or if I have any concerns.
[Nexus 6  General] Mr. Shaded:
That's some B.S. they rly need to sort out their mess.

My first order in early January was messed up in their system so I never actually got the phone. That was cancelled and refunded.

The second time I tried was Jan 29th. Said it would ship on Feb 13th on my google play but my google wallet said 2-3 weeks which would place shipping between Feb. 13 -19. The later was the actual shipping time frame. It shipped on Feb. 17th.

Now with your comments there, I'm worried because since it shipped its been sitting in status, Departure Scan from Concord, ON. No updates for over 24hrs. I have never had that happen with any UPS shipment before.

I'm in Calgary. I hope nothing is screwed up.
[Nexus 6  General] waqar.qu:
I cancelled my order because I've got a nexus 6 (MB) and just wanted the cloud white, realized it wasn't worth the hassle. People are selling it on Kijiji for 850 and less and I haven't had any offers in trying to sell mine. What was the process of cancelling the order and getting a refund? Did you already pay the charge on your credit card or what? Right now I have the charge still on my card.

As for when I had my order stuck in Concord, I had to call UPS Canada, and they finally said it would ship. When it did ship, it shipped to Mississauga (whilst giving me an update saying the package has successfully shipped to its 'final destination'. So when I called again the next day, the lady said it looks like it went backwards towards the shipper or something to a Ingram Micro (or something like that). It makes sense since Google apparently acquired them according to the Google shipping department. I just got an email today from them saying it's been shipped to the UPS warehouse and they'll see what they can do to get it shipped to me. Not sure if it helps. I think you're going to have to talk to UPS and Google. Most probably UPS first to get it shipped, then Google if it does the same thing with me.
[Nexus 6  General] Mr. Shaded:
My card had not been charged for the first one. So they just reversed the hold.

As for this one it is charged. And I called UPS this morning and they confirmed that it will be in Calgary and out for delivery tomorrow.

so fingers crossed. I rly wanted the 64GB Cloud White. So thats what I waited for and ordered. No use getting a 32GB device.
[Nexus 6  General] 838Joel:
Just received my N6\64Gb\MB ;)

Recharging it now, and first thing to do... Unlock BL, Root, Flash CM-12, and Custom boot with no encryption by default....
[Nexus 6  General] waqar.qu:
Any updates? Did you end up getting it in the mail? I'm considering to try ordering it again without any complications. Update us if anything...
[Nexus 6  General] Mr. Shaded:
Yea.. It was delivered on Friday.

So far I'm happy with it.

No issues.

I was lucky I was at home tho. The UPS guy knocked the door twice then set the box down at my door before I even got to it then proceeded to walk away.

For something that I spent so much on, I don't want to know what would have happened if I was jot at home and he left it there and someone picked it up.
[Nexus 6  General] 2xbass:
Has anyone heard anything about carrier versions of the N6 being SIM locked? I thought I read that somewhere. That would be a change. I got my N5 from Bell and it was unlocked.
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
I doubt it. No Nexus device (from the N1 to the N5) sold in Canada through carriers was every SIM locked.
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
To answer my own question a few posts ago, for anybody interested, I find that script that goes beyond the PushBullet notifications:

I tested it, it seems to be working. Kinda useless to put it at 5 seconds since the product hasn't even launched at all yet in Canada. By this time, I'm really guessing it'll be next wednesday 2pm EST.

Although I don't know if you guys follow the USA PushBullet feeds as much, they are getting stock every 30mins or so then disappearing right away... like they are selling ONE phone at a time lol.
[Nexus 6  General] desilla:
Hey Everyone

According to Artem from Android Police on Google plus it seems Canada's turn is coming Nov 18th for Pre Orders and Nov 28th with the carriers.

Any Canadians in the house? I'm hearing Nov 18th for Nexus 6 Play Store pre-orders and 28th go-live.﻿

https://plus.google.com/+ArtemRussakovskii/posts
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
That's horrible news! I even had a countdown on my phone for tomorrow as a pre-order date from the Play Store! :(

I'm hoping he is wrong -_-
[Nexus 6  General] RCx240:
I'll be checking tomorrow in case, but I've also been hearing the 18th. I hope at very least Canadians don't have to wait a month for shipping like anyone who ordered in the US. The wait has been ridiculous enough already.
[Nexus 6  General] BootsSiR:
MobileSyrup says tomorrow isn't happening for Canada. 18th is fine with me. I'd love for them to give the date officially though.

Motorola - Nexus 6

I just got official reply (via [MENTION=1142255]motorolas[/MENTION]upport), that neither Moto Care, nor Moto Financing will be available for Canadians.

Do you guys think it's worth it to try to get it financed shipped to a buddy over in the US and just get Moto Care that way (when it becomes available again)? I'm already having second thoughts about the nexus series because, with this price, I kind of want the Moto suite of apps. They actually seem functional. Though with the Moto X and Moto G getting Lollipop before the Nexus 5, I don't think I'll need to worry about updates.
[Nexus 6  General] johnny grep:
I'm pretty sure a dev will port the Moto X software to the N6... or at least try
[Nexus 6  General] force70:
Not surprised...moto doesnt seem to give a damn about Canadian customers these days.

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3, 2 or one X+
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
Wow... what a freaking tease... I just got an email from Motorola...

Subject : We have Nexus 6 now in stock. Get yours today!

Body : You can buy Nexus 6 starting today at 11:00 a.m. CT. Hurry, quantities are limited. Thank you for your enthusiastic interest in Nexus 6!

So I click on the link, brings me to the US page... I'm 100% sure I registered for updates on the .ca page -_-

Well at least somebody is getting stock today, it's still a little early, I'm keeping a little hope for later on today lol.
[Nexus 6  General] nickelfault:
Ugh this is getting frustrating. I wish they'd at least give us a date.
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
Very frustrating indeed... I hate not knowing! lol. Our american friends are able to order from both Motorola and Play Store as we speak, and a little fyi, any of them ordering today is getting a ship date in December... So looks like we still have some ways to go :(
[Nexus 6  General] Mr. Shaded:
Update

Not sure how true this is but we may have an update here from Mobile Syrup

Nexus 6 pre-orders will begin November 18th on the Google Play Store, according to representatives from Google Canada and Motorola Canada.

Canadians have had to wait a bit longer for their chance to own the latest handset from Motorola and Google, but beginning next Tuesday the device will go on sale beginning at $749 CDN. A 64GB version will also be available for $799.

There’s no word on when the device will eventually ship out, nor when carriers will receive their own inventory, but at least the mystery around Nexus 6 availability is slowly lifting.

The Nexus 6 will be available in two colours, Midnight Blue and Cloud White.
[Nexus 6  General] BootsSiR:
http://mobilesyrup.com/2014/11/12/n...-on-google-play-store-starting-november-18th/
[Nexus 6  General] RCx240:
Mobilesyrup is usually pretty accurate, so I'm inclined to believe that's probably true. Hopefully it doesn't get delayed (again), and they'll have enough stock to last more than 30 seconds.
[Nexus 6  General] nickelfault:
I just read Ars Technica's review of the N6 and to be honest, has me rethinking dropping $800 on this phone. I already have the N5, and if the 5 is beating the 6 in performance (and very close camera) then I may just skip this generation. Will wait for sure until I can try one out in the store, but I'm not so pumped for it anymore! For anybody else interested: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/11/nexus-6-review-the-premium-price-still-comes-with-compromises/
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
Well at least we have ourselves quite a few reviews to keep us busy!

PhoneArena

The Verge

Android Central

Engadget

and many more out there :P
[Nexus 6  General] Kendaihou:
I'm just waiting for this to come out on the carriers. I'm guessing probably at the end of the month hopefully it will hit Fido and such. Don't think I'm going to pre order anymore...
[Nexus 6  General] sith78:
After reading ars technika review... I'm now more tempted towards the note 4...
[Nexus 6  General] force70:
After reading it im glad i bought the note 4.

Slower than the nexus 4 and 5 in some areas? Really? Google should be embarrassed about that for certain.

I didnt have any issue with the price until now either..sure its only 1 review but i think i will put the brakes on getting it and see how actual users report's are.

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3, 2 or one X+
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
woot woot! Seems like Google is making some minor work on the canadian urls! Just got a PushBullet notification:

But it was promptly switched back to "Coming Soon."

I wonder if by some error the device will become available to pre-order before the due date in a few hours, haha. Can't wait!! :D

Been reading most of the reviews, they all seem to praise the device itself (of course, if the physical dimension is something you are okay with), and most of the problems/issues sound like it can be resolved by later updates or 3rd party roms/kernels! So it's looking very good :)
[Nexus 6  General] sith78:
**update: had enough of the waiting game and the bad review... Bought myself a Note 4....too bad Google!

Having the Note 4 in my pocket I can't imagine squeezing a longer, larger and thicker device in there...
[Nexus 6  General] mymusicathome:
The note 4 and nexus 6 are the 2 in the running for my next device. Going to stay with the nexus line for a couple reasons:

- will never go back to touchwiz and knox.

- love how Google does not care if you unlock your device.

- first for official updates.

Hopefully preorders will go live tomorrow. Thought about waiting if Motorola sells to Canada because USA had free shipping but doubt that will be the case.
[Nexus 6  General] sith78:
I will wish you luck with your purchase!

Hope you will be satisfied as I am with mine!
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
Canadians are you guys getting excited! Were so close! I can't wait for tomorrow!
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
Both those devices were also in my own race for next device. Although I really loved the Note 4, I've had the Note 2 and Note 3 since Launch Day, and I've never owned a Nexus device, and for the first time, a nexus device has spec that meets the competition. So the Nexus 6 won by default. (Although I secretly can't wait to try out the Note 4 + Gear VR somewhere, lol)

Also, about Motorola.ca, from the little I've seen, it looks like Motorola doesn't sell any phone at all, but redirect you to external sellers/providers like Telus, Bell, etc. So I don't think we'll get any physical stock from Motorola.ca until providers officially start selling it in stores.

It's about freaking time! :D

I really don't know if this launch will be as horrible as the american one... So i got my PushBullet and Auto Refresh Plus plug-in running in full force, lol, as soon as the 64 blue becomes available, I'll add it to cart! Can't risk waiting an additional week due to low stock :(
[Nexus 6  General] BootsSiR:
My wife has a chemotherapy treatment tomorrow and being the good wife that she is, she is insisting I bring a laptop so I can get my order in lol

We will be home by noon EST so I'm hoping they don't actually go on sale until the usual 1-2 PM.
[Nexus 6  General] RCx240:
Really hope I manage to snag one tomorrow, my nexus 4 is killing me (dead by the time I get home from the university at 3pm). Hoping I don't have to wait much longer... I'm actually really glad the N6 is so large. I've always been interested in the note series, but every touchwiz phone I've used has been painful to use.
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
She's a keeper! :D Hoping it starts at 1 also I have work at 1 so going in a little earlier to get setup to make sure im ready! :)
[Nexus 6  General] frigidazzi:
Wrong thread...
[Nexus 6  General] jackdonogy:
Are you in Canada? If so, how do you already have the phone and I am willing to buy it from you if you are in Toronto.
[Nexus 6  General] frigidazzi:
No I am sorry. Didn't notice I clicked on Canadian thread. I'll change it.
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
From what I heard in the american threads, I think the device is officially launching tomorrow (retail-wise/in stores)?

Everybody seems to be distrusting buying it from Google as it appears they have a long shipping delay and are instead buying it from Moto.

As Moto is not an option for canadians, would anybody know we could purchase a 64GB version other than from GPS?

Telus and Rogers only seem to offer the 32GB Midnight Blue...

If anything, in about an hour and a half, I'll definitively be placing an order with GPS :S I rather have a shipping delay then no phone at all lol
[Nexus 6  General] BootsSiR:
Home from the hospital, ready to buy! Let's go GOOG!
[Nexus 6  General] Mr. Shaded:
Anyone know what time this is going live?
[Nexus 6  General] RCx240:
Yesterday they were fiddling with the pages (I got a pushbullet notification) at 2pm here in Alberta (which is noon in Ontario, where Google Canada is based). So I suspect the same time today? But it's really just a guess.

Edit: It's actually 4pm Ontario time, I'm just awful with timezones
[Nexus 6  General] MaelstromXC:
Rumour is that it's going to be 11 Mountain time which is in about 30 mins, but no real confirmation. Same with this Nov 18 date...no official confirmation
[Nexus 6  General] Mr. Shaded:
I'm in Alberta too, and I have the page on constant refresh, when it goes live ill post.
[Nexus 6  General] mymusicathome:
When I ordered my n5 the preorders went live at noon MST. I suspect it will be similar
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
From the previous Wednesdays, apparently in the states, the page starting appearing around 1:05-1:15pm EST, in mere minutes from now!
[Nexus 6  General] jackdonogy:
1:01 PM EDT and nothing yet...

Edit: 1:09 and still nothing.....Are we wasting our time on this today? This is really poor of google for not giving us a date or time...considering this is the 6th iteration of the phone!
[Nexus 6  General] rjkboyle:
Doesn't look good for Canadians today.. Looks like we are still getting shafted, and mobilesyrup might be eating their words again...
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
Tuesday makes no sense considering the US side gets phones every Wednesday. Starting to lose faith here, but will go to 2PM EST
[Nexus 6  General] jackdonogy:
If i recall correctly, for the N5 i got it at 2pm EST. I will try till then.
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
I know, I thought the same thing... I didn't understand Tuesday, but I didn't question it neither... I'll still keep hope until 2pm...
[Nexus 6  General] rjkboyle:
True.. Looking at my invoice 31-Oct-2013 11:28:49 PDT AM was 2:28pm EST

Might as well keep trying, but been let down too many times before haha

Is it pathetic how badly we all just want Google to take our money...
[Nexus 6  General] MaelstromXC:
Yes, MobileSyrup might just be giving us and arbitrary date, but it's only the date we got (other than the Oct 29 that flopped)
[Nexus 6  General] Mr. Shaded:
Yea, I think everyone's loosing hope at this point.

No communication, not nothing.

I saw a change to the page this morning, but when the page refreshed 5 seconds later it was back to coming soon.

Not rly sure what it was.

Google/Motorola are doing an awesome job. :rolleyes::eek:
[Nexus 6  General] jackdonogy:
Yep,

I went back and checked my order on G.Wallet now and its:

Google Canada Corp.

Oct 31, 2013 2:06 PM

PS. where did the 1pm EDT / 10 am PDT come from?
[Nexus 6  General] rjkboyle:
For now lets cling onto this with all of our hope haha

We're all gonna make it..

I work a couple blocks from the Google office in TO, maybe I need to go kick some doors down.
