I'm getting mine through Telus when "Coming Soon" changes, mainly because I don't want to spend 800$ on a phone.

That 800$ could be better spent on a winter beater to bomb around on the mountains in the snow LOL.
[Nexus 6  General] bradellis51:
But wouldn't you rather buy it from google and get there warranty? I know from first hand experience. If you buy a phone from a carrier, regardless of the type of phone and there ends up being a problem with it, then the carrier fixes it themselves or through a third party. When you buy a phone from google and there is anything wrong with it, you just call google and they will send you another one in the mail. I just feel like google offers the best warranty replacement of any company
[Nexus 6  General] JamieD81:
I had a few horrible dealings with Google and the Nexus 1 with screen damage.

I usually go with device protection through Telus which covers any type of damage.

Aren't Canadian carriers only getting the 32gb version though? I remember with the Nexus 5 carriers only had the 16gb version
[Nexus 6  General] BootsSiR:
I got a 32GB blue on launch day... thinking I might get a 64GB and cancel the 32GB ..... wonder if any more 64GB will hit the store and if the ship date will be the same?
[Nexus 6  General] Steuartl:
Is this a pre order? I may be interested... Hurting after I had a 64 M-B in my cart and disappeared on launch
[Nexus 6  General] Noxey:
Anyone have some semblance of an idea as to when the carriers will have stock?
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
Some people are saying November 26th... (which bothers me because that's almost 2 weeks BEFORE gps even ships our phones) but there's no way to confirm.

I found some information from the Rogers Forum
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
Are carriers only getting the 32gb version? Or are they going to get both the 32 and 64? I remember with the nexus 5, carriers only got the 16gb version. If carriers are getting the 64gb version as well, i'll probably cancel my GPS order.
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
It was previously stated that as far as we know, at least Rogers, Bell, Telus, and Videotron will only offer the 32GB Midnight Blue version. I spoke with Rogers which only said that "other colors might become available next year", as there is only 1 other color i have difficulty believing him, lol.
[Nexus 6  General] chef_christoph:
After what felt like getting punked by pushbullet notifications about 32GB Midnight Blue units being available in the middle of the night the last few nights, I was finally able to get one ordered tonight without it disappearing from my cart before the final purchase.

I may still try to get a 64GB white if/when they become available but for now I'm happy at least to have this one ordered.

Out of curiosity, has anyone seen any 64GB blue become available lately?
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
Google is releasing stock randomly in the middle of the night? Congrats on lucking out!
[Nexus 6  General] chef_christoph:
Thanks, I lucked out for sure!

Yes, I noticed a few nights in a row my phone woke me up because I've got it set to increase to Max volume and play an alert several times when I received any pushbullet notification.

The pushbullet channel I was following was alerting around 2 or 3 in the morning but by the time I came to my senses and clicked the link it was always too late.

Last night I just happened to make it in time.
[Nexus 6  General] Alimaq9:
Does anyone know when google is likely to ship out the nexus 6 to people who pre-ordered it on Nov. 18? I really hope its sometime next week or the beginning of Dec, I'm leaving for vacation on Dec. 12 and just hoping I get it by then.
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
My order (64GB Blue) says leaving warehouse by Dec 16 ...I hope it is sooner.
[Nexus 6  General] mymusicathome:
We will be lucky if they arrive before Christmas
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
i'm optimistic it will be sooner.
[Nexus 6  General] MaelstromXC:
Anyone has any idea when the white Nexus 64gb will be available?

If not, I guess I will check tomorrow (assuming they are releasing new stocks weekly similar to US).
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
32GB Version will be available on Wednesday from carriers according to mobile syrup

[Nexus 6  General] MaelstromXC:
The only thing is that they are all Midnight Blue.
[Nexus 6  General] subxero123:
Carriers get it before google play... This is ridiculous
[Nexus 6  General] JamieD81:
Fun fact, the last 600$+ Nexus was out on Canadian carriers before Playstore.
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
too bad they're only selling the 32gb version... i'd cancel my GPS order if that wasn't the case
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
did u guys get in on the bell price error on nexus 6? it was 499 no term + 20 fee + 15 initiation fee + txs... around around 600$cdn for the 32 gb all in if they honor that deal!!!
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
haha no way they'll honour that...would be nice, though
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
im crossing my fingers! its only a 33% discount
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
haha oh wow! didnt realize you actually put the order through... in that case, they might have to honour it... well done!
[Nexus 6  General] RCx240:
So I guess no more stock on Google play this week? It was about this time last week, and I've been hammering the page for the last 15 minutes but still nothing. Hope it's just late instead of not at all..
[Nexus 6  General] MaelstromXC:
Yes seems to be this way.
[Nexus 6  General] CayenneGTS:
Anyone heard when next the N6 will be available for pre-order on GPS?
[Nexus 6  General] xReaper7x:
If there following suite with the US orders (Same phone, both NA) then it will be tomorrow (Wednesday) at around 1:00PM EST, iffff they follow suite
[Nexus 6  General] flar2:
I noticed you can now buy a Nexus 6 on Rogers and Bell websites. Unfortunately you have to sign up for outrageously expensive phone plans to get it. But out of curiosity, when are they shipping?

I would consider buying one from Telus, but it doesn't seem to be available yet.
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
I just cancelled my GPS order for the 64gb blue and got a 32gb blue from Bell outright... I think I lucked out and literally got the only available one in the Eaton Centre. The store on the upper level didn't have any and the one in front of old navy had two (one on pre-order). Funny enough (sad for the gentleman) the guy in line behind me was also coming into to buy the nexus 6, but I got the only one they had. Anyway, I was tired of waiting to see if ever my GPS order would ship... I decided I will use dropbox and google drive mainly... I had the 32gb nexus 5 and was fine so I don't foresee this being a problem.

On another note... COT DAMN IT'S BIG! haha
[Nexus 6  General] johnny grep:
Congrats! A few questions:

- is it SIM-locked?

- does tethering work out-of-the-box?

- any Bell docs in the box?

- were there any preinstalled/downloaded Bell apps/bloatware upon initial setup?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] force70:
So no 64gb anywhere in Canada yet? No point in bothering with 32gb, what a disappointment.

They finally release it in Canada and in the least popular colour and storage capacity..man has google ever made asses of themselves on this launch lol

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3 or 2.
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
-No

-Yes

-No Bell docs whatsoever

-No preinstalled/downloaded Bell apps/bloatware
[Nexus 6  General] BootsSiR:
Looks like lots of 32GB available... not 64 yet though.
[Nexus 6  General] xciton:
Just grabbed a 64 Blue from the play store. Was pretty easy this time. Blue 32 showed up first, then 5 mins later blue 64's.
[Nexus 6  General] BootsSiR:
Great, now I have a 64GB ordered and a 32GB..... 32GB ships on the 16th and the 64GB on the 24th .... decisions
[Nexus 6  General] JamieD81:
Telus held the n6 back due to French Canadian language bug.

I could see them doing that in Quebec but sucks they dinged the entire country which the huge majority speak English over French.
[Nexus 6  General] flar2:
I called around to a few Rogers and Bell stores in Ottawa, none have it in stock.

I guess I'll just wait for Telus so I don't have to spend $$ to unlock it.
[Nexus 6  General] Mr. Shaded:
Stocks are back on GPS
[Nexus 6  General] subxero123:
64 white still never came up...
[Nexus 6  General] RCx240:
Still bummed out about the lack of 64Gb Whites, but I got a 32Gb White this time around! Cancelled my 32Gb Blue. Sadly missed out on the 64Gb blue... For me it was only available for about 20 seconds. But at least the colour I want is better than nothing
[Nexus 6  General] flar2:
You want 64gig white, lol

[Nexus 6  General] SS2006:
I ordered mine on launchday, first batch

my status is: leaves ware house 12/16/14

anyone else?

That's a little excessive, I'm thinking of cancelling and just getting it from rogers
[Nexus 6  General] RCx240:
What a joke. It's really stupid that Google is making the least popular model in the greatest quantities. As much as I'd like a 64Gb/White, but for that price you could buy two 32Gb models and a Moto 360 with some cash left over.
[Nexus 6  General] SS2006:
I was told by support google automatically tacks on 3-4 weeks on order date and makes that the 'ship date' but generally most go out after 2 weeks, so maybe I will wait..i'm not sure
[Nexus 6  General] mymusicathome:
Have one preordered from GPS and thought the same. Ran around this morning and dropped by a couple stores. None in Edmonton that I visited had stock in yet. Also was told by a store rep that the devices are only available on contact for the first month. Going to keep my 32GB blue (the exact model I want) and hope it arrive before Christmas. Ordered the naked case directly from Google and received it yesterday. Device will be a beast compared to my n5 ?
[Nexus 6  General] jackdonogy:
Ran around a bunch of stores in Toronto - more specifically etobicoke (bloor west + sherway area) both rogers and bell stores and no stock! So I think I'll wait for GPS order...
[Nexus 6  General] CayenneGTS:
The blue 32 GB model is still available for pre-oder on GPS. I want the 64 GB white one though.

I've read a review where the reviewer said the blue tends to show your fingerprints on the back quite a bit. I was originally planning to get the blue one, but changed my mind after reading that as I don't plan on putting a case on it.
[Nexus 6  General] jackdonogy:
I put cases on all my phones so im not too worried about this....Ive always had the black phones and was looking to switch this year but was let down by goog!
[Nexus 6  General] RCx240:
If it's the same material as the back of the black Nexus 9 (It looks very close at least) it'll definitely pick up fingerprints like crazy. I love my N9 but it's a total fingerprint magnet. The whole fingerprint issue, coupled with the purple looking trim is what killed the Blue for me. I'm not even sure why they tinted it, the Blue would have looked great with the same trim as the white model.
[Nexus 6  General] smelenchuk:
Snagged a 32GB Blue; still hoping for a 64GB but I'll be happy either way. Have not even caught a glimpse of the 64GB in stock.
[Nexus 6  General] SS2006:
I believe the first orders will ship December 2
[Nexus 6  General] flar2:
I got one at videotron in gatineau.
[Nexus 6  General] mymusicathome:
I ordered mine on November 18th in the first batch released and was given the 16th of December as the shipping date.
[Nexus 6  General] SS2006:
That is google putting on 3-4 weeks, its usual practice

Shipping should be 2 weeks after you order, I asked a customer rep
[Nexus 6  General] jags_the1:
i made $0.99 offer to him... lets see if he buys in.

keeping my figures crossed:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6  General] diggmc:
Snagged a CW32 this morning just as I was leaving work. Ship date 24/Dec.

Finally can stop being punked by pushbullet.

:)
[Nexus 6  General] flar2:
For those in the Ottawa area, when I say I got one, I mean in my hand. They actually have them in stock at the Videotron on Boulevarde Greber in Gatineau.
[Nexus 6  General] CayenneGTS:
The phones can be pre-ordered from Expansys.ca - this seems to be more of a "pre-order" than what Google is doing.
[Nexus 6  General] jackdonogy:
I got one in Toronto at woodbine mall bell store. They had just one and I grabbed it :)
[Nexus 6  General] CayenneGTS:
Which model did you get?
[Nexus 6  General] Word_play:
yea it seems most stores, Bell at least, had one or two... Eaton centre, which I figured would have gotten the most, had two between both of their stores. I was lucky enough to grab one as well
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
That's exactly what I've been telling myself since day one... Maybe Google had no freaking clue when they'll be able to ship it, so they put the MAXIMUM date up on the website, which was that "3-4 weeks" notice... I truly want to believe that it will ship beginning of december.

Of course, nobody knows! I guarantee you most of our units will ship the same day, so we'll all know then.

This kinda scares me though...kinda contradictory to my beliefs. This mean that Google already has an idea of when to ship, and those who pre-order now are getting it 1-2 weeks after us...I thought that even if you placed an order right now, it would still say "3-4 weeks"...

Sigh... let's keep the Waiting Game going...

[Nexus 6  General] force70:
Damnit, rogers only has the 32g also...why the hell would they bother with 32 and not just offer the 64..very frustrating.

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3 or 2.
[Nexus 6  General] Xelphos:
I don't bother storing anything on my phone, I can access my 3TB HardDrive with my phone via my network. If I am out I don't really use my phone as I am usually walking about and don't feel like dropping my phone.

But from my understanding stock levels are not great. So it might be a bit before the white and 64GB variants are available.
[Nexus 6  General] chef_christoph:
I was able to get an order in for a 64GB blue just a few minutes ago. With no 64GB white to be seen here as of yet, I'm happy with this blue one. However, I think I'll still jump all over a 64GB white if they become available here soon.
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
Out of curiosity, since you're the latest here to order, what is your shipping date estimate? If you don't mind me asking.
[Nexus 6  General] chef_christoph:
I'm afraid I don't have an exact date yet, it just says it leaves the warehouse in 3-4 weeks.
[Nexus 6  General] xciton:
I ordered 11/26 and it said 3-4 weeks, and the details say 12/24.
[Nexus 6  General] chef_christoph:

I bought one at Rogers the other day, though they sold it for $799 (32gb midnight blue) was it the same price at bell?
[Nexus 6  General] CayenneGTS:
$799 is supposed to be for the 64 GB version. At least thats what its advertised for on GPS.
[Nexus 6  General] Xelphos:
Has anyone else orders from rogers online and had it ship yet? Lady told me it would ship today, but it's 4 O'Clock and they don't ship after 5.
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
Carriers always tend to sell it more expansive than on GPS. Remember the horrible price of the Nexus 5?? lol

But a quick look at the Bell and Videotron sites, and it looks like they are actually selling it for 749$ :S

Im going to wait for a white 64g but it would be nice to hold the device in hand asap.

[Nexus 6  General] Steuartl:
Will any of the carriers that have it in stock sell it to you if your not currently a customer? I'm with koodo which doesnt seem to to be getting it anytime soon and considering canceling my GPS pre order since expected to ship 24th..
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
Most retail stores will prefer their customers over others, but best way would be to walk in and ask.
[Nexus 6  General] NADRIGOL:
I picked up a 32 blue from rogers in london. They were still the only carrier who had any in on friday. They wouldn't sell it to me off contract (750), so I bought it on contract for 200 (450 subsidized, and 100 discount for being cool). I can buy out my contract and return to Wind if i really want to... But I must admit im loving the LTE.

---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 AM ----------

Also, a Wind representative informed me they dont expect to have any nexus 6 until the new year. That's the first non-vague answer I've heard from them yet.
[Nexus 6  General] waqar.qu:
Do they sell it with no contract or any other fees? I remember trying to buy the s3 out right from bell but they kept telling me I have to get it on contract. What's the process exactly? Can any non bell user just buy it from bell outright?
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
There are very few dealers that will sell it to you outright if you are not a already a customer of that carrier. You either have to buy it on contract, or month-to-month (i.e., you have to activate a line for a month and then cancel). So you end up paying for one month's worth of service, whether you need it or not. Just get the cheapest possible plan (probably ~$20).
[Nexus 6  General] mymusicathome:
Managed to find one locally on Kijiji for $690 and included the naked hard case on the play store. Canceled my gplay order. Loving the new device. Makes my n5 look like the size of an iPhone next to it hehe

Any wave 1ers get any news yet? I managed to snag a 64GB Blue and I'm just sitting here twiddling my thumbs and waiting for what feels like forever. I heard some rumors of a Dec. 2 ship date for us Canadians.
[Nexus 6  General] ertw96:
In the same boat as you, got a 64GB Blue as well. There has been zero movement in my Google Wallet and Play Store Orders so Dec 2nd, might be a bit too optimistic. For my previous N4, N5, N7 pre-orders, either Google Wallet or the Play Store will change to today's date 24hrs before I get the shipping notification.
[Nexus 6  General] JamieD81:
Those waiting on Telus to launch, it seems like a simple missing "%" is what is keeping us from getting the phone...

I hope this French only bug is not going to hold up ALL Canadian orders while someone flashes all of the current stock destined to us.
[Nexus 6  General] kifac:
Rogers has it released.

I have 1 left at my store. More then welcome to keep it on hold for anyone willing to pick it up from Square one Mall, Mississauga.

its 32GB.

Will not sell outright. I can only give it to you if you take a plan for one month on rogers and cancel after 1 month.

If you get a 64GB white one, I'd pick it up in a heart beat!
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
That promotion ends in January 6th and as far as I know, Rogers is not planning to add support to any Nexus devices by then :(

(On a side off-topic subject... I don't understand the "free" suretap sim cards... It's being advertised as free on rogers.com yet when you walk to a store, they'll still charge you 12$ for it... I had to scan my invoice and email it to a Rogers CSR Supervisor in order to get it credited on my account)
[Nexus 6  General] force70:
When will Rogers get a 64 white in stock,32g is next to useless for me sadly.im 10 min from square one.

Isnt there quite a large fee for early cancelations or only the cost of whats left on the device flex

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3 or 2
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
If my memory serves me right, you only have to pay your remaining Device Tab, which you can verify under Your Account in Rogers.com.

There might be an early hardware upgrade fee as well attached to that, but there isn't cancellation fees anymore.

And as far as i know, no employee will know release detail of a future device...

[Nexus 6  General] sahityag:
Man, I am fully jealous of all you guys. My best bet is to buy the phone outright (starting to save up now, $924 for 64gb after taxes+delivery). I have a grandfathered plan and Rogers will not do hardware upgrades anymore. Wonder if they'll keep my current pricing after the contract is up or try to increase saying that my "promotions" are up...

Anyway, good to see more Canadians getting this phone. I have yet to see it live. Anyone know of stores in the Hamilton area that have it? I tried calling a couple and nobody seemed to have any retail/stock units to play with.
[Nexus 6  General] CayenneGTS:

[Nexus 6  General] Mr. Shaded:

[Nexus 6  General] devilwarier9:
It bothers me even more that there is a thread on /r/nexus6 right now about Americans who ordered Nov.19 (a day AFTER Canada's round 1) and are getting ship confirmations today. Like, seriously? All I ask is that you give out phones in the same order that they were placed. Especially when the US and Canadian phones are identical hardware, and even ship from the same damn warehouse.

Goddammit, Google. I just want my $900 phone that I paid for. Maybe BEFORE 2015. Is that so much to ask?

Ugh. /rant
[Nexus 6  General] mymusicathome:
I am pretty sure the will ship the date listed in your order summary. The nexus 5 shipped the date listed. Maybe carriers had an exclusive time period? Its a joke but not really surprising when you look at google releasing services to countries outside the USA or even movie/music giveaways. I'm surprised we get the 6 months of all access Google music. That being said in still an android fanboy and as long as the nexus line is still around they will be my device of choice. At least our carrier devices are not locked and stocked with bloatware like AT&T right? Hehe

I called all the rogers stores in Edmonton and none have any stock. Does anyone know when rogers stores in Edmonton are getting stock?
