[Nexus 6  General] kornklown69:
I will say this proves that Google should keep the Nexus line.. people will continue to go crazy about it and apparently price isn't as huge a deal as thought
[Nexus 6  General] tsy87:
I think they could do what apple is doing by offering a cheaper model, basically a cosmetically tweaked previous gen phone, and then the new premium phone.

The price is not bad given the specs on the nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] kornklown69:
They could as long as the companies who actually make the phones are on board.
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
looks like carriers might have there hands dipped on carrier devices as far as updates

And they are...Motorola lololol
[Nexus 6  General] El Daddy:
Page monitor just went off. My heart stopped. No sale though. :(
[Nexus 6  General] bloodiedwraith:
Ditto :(
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
I got one of those earlier. Also no sale.
[Nexus 6  General] badboy47:
Lol page monitor trolling us.
[Nexus 6  General] MyPeople:
I wonder how can they have OOS with that price...
[Nexus 6  General] jasonleb1:
Because it's a decent price for what it is.
[Nexus 6  General] atuarre:
Like with everything else they do, Google makes a big deal about something, for the PR (spectrum auction, Google Fiber, etc, etc.) , and then they either don't follow through or aren't prepared (in this case they weren't prepared).

Apple pre-orders are notoriously difficulty if you get in late and everybody that tried to get the Nexus 6 on launch day would have gotten in if Apple was running things. With Google, it's a nightmare. And then, as others have said, even if you get in early, you might be number one in line to buy but you might be the very last to get what you ordered.

I do not know what the deal is with them. To me I get the impression that they don't want to really do device sales if they can't manage a simple e-commerce store, and if that is the case, they need to let the handset manufacturers sell the devices directly. Now I am still planning to get one, but the Nexus six was sold as being able to be used on all carriers but just you watch, like the 5, with CDMA, you won't be able to get not one of the CDMA carriers to activate it if you did not purchase it from them or the Playstore directly.

Whoever is over the Play store needs to be placed some where else and someone more competent needs to be put in charge. Sorry for the rant, but the whole "phone is in cart, phone has disappeared" thing, is a load of crap.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
You just solved your own question and you didn't even realize it.

Google is a software development company. An ad company. Anything except a hardware, distribution, or marketing company. So they didn't make it, motorola/lenovo did. They didn't distribute or market it. They teamed up with the carriers to do that. They get the best of both worlds. They get the Google name and OS out into every corner of the CONUS without making anything, distributing anything, and without marketing anything. They sold some on their site. Great. They don't care. That's not their business. Their business is software. They made the software that is in the hardware built by Motorola that will be marketed and distributed by a nation wide army of stores via the carriers......

Why is this not obvious?
[Nexus 6  General] atuarre:
Well apparently their poor execution and software development was the cause of the latest pre-order mess. No wonder they missed their estimates. Apparently you are incorrect, they do a lot more then just software. They are buying robotics firms and all sorts of other companies all over the place. They are also playing ISP. You should go back and check your facts. They haven't been just developing software or selling ads for a long time now.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
I know they are into a lot of other things. But please for the sake of sanity keep the discussion on topic. We are talking about a primarily ad/software company doing a pre-order for a piece of hardware they don't make or market or distribute......

You're angry because a software company, who decided to sell a few devices, didn't have a well laid out plan on how to sell, distribute, market a piece of hardware......

Do you understand the irony? You answered your own problem already. Google wants to sell lots of devices with Android on it. They don't want to make the device..... They contracted Motorola/Lenovo to do that. They didn't want to market or distribute it. They contracted the carriers to do that....

The fact that they sold a few devices themselves is pretty meaningless in the big picture.
[Nexus 6  General] mobilehavoc:
Didn't feel like waiting and picked up a Droid Turbo today. Close enough and 5.2 inches. Also bigger battery otherwise almost same specs. Loving it so far and will be awesome once it gets Lollipop.
[Nexus 6  General] RoscoeDpG:
i really like that device and was the one i was gonna get until i saw vzw was gonna get the nexus 6 then....well u know the rest lol
[Nexus 6  General] wideasleep1:
They didn't even do THAT themselves...it goes from Moto fabs to UPS distribution. Google has no hands in this other than specs and choosing subcontractors.
[Nexus 6  General] edd247:
My order status now says leaves warehouse in 2-3 weeks, I instead of 3-4 weeks (white 32gb). It still shows a ship date of 11/21 but I think it will ship earlier
[Nexus 6  General] freesoul27:
Let me guess, next Friday it will say: "leaves warehouse in 1-2 weeks".

You know 3 weeks from now it is November 21.
[Nexus 6  General] edd247:
Yes I know, and 2 weeks from now is November 14
[Nexus 6  General] assasin34:
How did you manage to pre-order.?!still no stuck.!!![emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]
[Nexus 6  General] Donjuanal:
I'm pretty confident that those who successfully snagged a pre-order will start getting shipping notifications the week of the 3rd.
[Nexus 6  General] edd247:
I hope you're right
[Nexus 6  General] garyHal:
I just got 2 push bullet notifications, it went from "available" to "out" in a fraction of a second. Lame.
[Nexus 6  General] wattsja:
Yep, got it too .. but it was for a Blue 32 .. the total opposite of what i want (White 64 .. lol). I am hoping that maybe they will have a few more come up today ... or Google is just playing with our emotions!

To be honest, I am getting to where I don't want it as badly now .. I am losing the "impulse buy" bug..... QUICKLY.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
I got 2 pushbullet notifications in and out of inventorry for the 32gb lue
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
Same thing. I think it was probably just somebody cancelled their order, and someone else snatched it up.
[Nexus 6  General] verks:
When did everyone pre auth go through? This morning they charged my account the full amount.
[Nexus 6  General] Donjuanal:
Like no longer pending? what was the timestamp on your order?
[Nexus 6  General] edd247:
Mine is still pending
[Nexus 6  General] verks:
1:50pm EST 10/29
[Nexus 6  General] Donjuanal:
weird, mine is still pending and my timestamp was before yours, you sure its cleared?
[Nexus 6  General] kornklown69:
mine is also still pending my time stamp is 12:17:36 pm CDT 10/29
[Nexus 6  General] Schoat333:
Huh. Makes you wonder if there are some bots out there ordering them up.
[Nexus 6  General] xbassols:
Yep that can be possible... Actually I was thinking to setup one for myself because I'm always sleeping when the Pushbullet notification appear.
[Nexus 6  General] wvcadle:
Is there a Pushbullet channel for just the 64GB Blue N6?
[Nexus 6  General] atuarre:
Push bullet seems to always be late
[Nexus 6  General] Dusty Rhodes:
I wish I had the skill to make such a thing. I agree there probably are. I got a taste of the BuyBot during this year's baseball playoffs.

The PRE-SALE tickets for season ticket holders for good seats sold out almost instantly. As the available seats from MLB drained to zero StubHub flooded with, literally, tens of thousands of those same exact tickets within seconds.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Nah it's just really low stock. I have a script set up to auto buy and it only triggered once yesterday at 7:45 am but it failed. It takes 5 clicks total to check out and it could be done under a half a second with a script.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
we need a tutorial to implement a bot, most people here just want to buy 1 unit for personal use, why only scalpers should deplete the whole damn inventory in 5 seconds, any takers?
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
Tutorial?
[Nexus 6  General] Cheetohz:
I use sikuli.org for my automation. Not about to give a tutorial on python scripting though. I still have yet to snag a nexus, want to keep the power out of everyones hands until I get one for my own. posting this I have enough regret as it is.
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
Pagemonitor just went apesh!t on me on all four device pages several times. None available, though.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Yeah almost made me **** a little. They changed the layout and removed the promo.
[Nexus 6  General] aeox:
Seems like they removed the free Play Music.
[Nexus 6  General] atuarre:
Anyone able to get one today? Me thinks when they finally do come out, the 64 gigabyte will be in very short supply.
[Nexus 6  General] dankoman:
good riddance. as someone who is currently paying for the service, it seems a little unfair that i am disqualified from the 6 months of free play music all-access. :mad:
[Nexus 6  General] :
They might make the promo randomly appear to screw with people using page monitors lol.
[Nexus 6  General] Cheetohz:
Or they can release a definite announcement, so we don't have to use them.
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
That would make too much sense for google to do
[Nexus 6  General] atuarre:
Waits for the crazy troll nuts to come to Google's defense in 3...2...1...
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
LOL...I think you won't find very many people defending Google in any way shape or form in this forum WRT their release of Nexus6
[Nexus 6  General] atuarre:
There was some crazed lunatic, that trolled me all night, defending Google and talking about how their a software and ad company and it's not their fault the pre-order didn't work out right and that all they really do is work with Motorola and some other blah blah blah. I mean they literally tried to paint me out like a bad guy cause I was upset over the way Google handled this "pre-order" if you can even call it that.
[Nexus 6  General] epphllps:
I got one and still say this was the worst preorder I've ever seen or been a part of. It was pure luck I got one and with it not shipping until 11/21, I'll probably have one from a carrier before the play store version ships lol. I hope it ships sooner! How hard could it be to fill a preorder of only like 500 devices?! Ha [emoji3]
[Nexus 6  General] :
Yeah preorder is misleading. Now if they said order instead and it instantly sold out within 5 seconds then there wouldn't be an outrage.
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
I bet they ship next week.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
just 4 the record, F U Google, still buying the phone though [emoji51]
[Nexus 6  General] wrinklefree:
+1. There's no way google would let us pre-order in such a small batch only to have us wait longer than the Carrier stores.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Not making you out to be a bad guy.... Lol

I'm simply explaining that Google isn't in the hardware, marketing, or distribution business. They make money on every device with Android sold. Doesn't matter who sold it. They are an ad/software company. They contracted Motorola to make it, and the carriers to market and distribute it.

I was simply making the point that Google doesn't need to put effort into this launch especially since the carriers have been contracted to do it for them. They likely give zero f***s how the pre-order goes or how many sell via Play Store because they are gonna get theirs once the carriers go live.

It's just putting some perspective on it. Their business doesn't need a device pre-order at all so you can't blame them for not putting any effort into it.

Understanding their business doesn't make me a crazed lunatic.
[Nexus 6  General] VinhFTW:
That's all good and well, but at the end of the day, they are still a company. I, for one, use Google services exclusively. Just a little information would have been nice.......
[Nexus 6  General] Lebage:
You sure about your pre-auth going through? I check my account and it still says it's bloody pending.
[Nexus 6  General] verks:
I just checked again and it's in a pending state. Earlier it was in my non pending transactions. That's why I jumped over here to post. Got excited over nothing I guess.
[Nexus 6  General] Lebage:
I noticed a date change. No idea if this is significant at all. http://i.imgur.com/9pOwhsl.png
[Nexus 6  General] XxKINGxX2580:
Custom coded alert? Can you tell me how to do it?
[Nexus 6  General] Donjuanal:
I hope so, My bank was unable to give me an "intended date of withdrawal" for my pending transaction but if the charge goes through Monday it should ship that day or soon after.
[Nexus 6  General] xbassols:
****! I almost did it this time...
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
What's that mean? lol
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Means like the rest of us 90%ers, he still doesn't have a N6 pre-order.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
Android 5.0 final images for Nexus devices will be released tomorrow Nov 3. maybe another pre-order wave coming?One can dream...:D
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
No kidding.

Sidenote, one of the guys on [H]ard|Forum claims to have spotted an oddity in the S/N printed on the box on one of the reviewer "first impressions" videos...where the S/N ends in "GPE". Which may not bode well for the carrier branded handsets.
[Nexus 6  General] InGeNeTiCs:
Valid points, but I highly doubt that a company so well versed in marketing would let their own marketplace fall to ****. You make it sound like they don't care about how well the play store works, which I'm willing to be is 100% false. Sure, they'll make money either way, but to say "they don't need it" is silly. If they didn't need to do it(generate hype), they wouldn't have. Good or bad, the face remains...WE'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT IT. Sounds like a marketing win to me.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
anybody saw a Google add in their local NFL sunday game , "be together , not the same" a Nexus 6 shows up for a second among other android brand phones, I wonder when the Nexus 6 adds are going to roll out, selling through carriers needs aggressive advertising ala Samsung style or it may bomb as the HTC phones
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
Fingers crossed for more than just Android 5.0 today.

I'm hoping for both more pre-orders and perhaps a chance that today is the shipping day for the first wave of orders...though November 12th seems like a safer bet for that.
[Nexus 6  General] El Daddy:
Google is page monitor trolling again.

They added the Google Play Music promo.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Yup I got excited...very briefly.
[Nexus 6  General] wvcadle:
I've got a question. I also installed and configured Page Monitor Plus with Page Monitor, but it never lets me know when something changes. Others have posted that it went crazy when things have changed. What am I missing?
[Nexus 6  General] El Daddy:
Have you lowered your check interval? I think it defaults to 3 hours. I have mine at 6 seconds.
[Nexus 6  General] wvcadle:
Yeah, I have mine set to 5 seconds. It was running when they added the Music promo back, but it didn't go off. I even set it to alert me until I clicked off the alert, and it didn't.
[Nexus 6  General] El Daddy:
This is interesting...

Updated on each N6 variant page.

EDIT: No VZW. :)
[Nexus 6  General] SeanPlunk:
It looks like we get another chance for Google to disappoint us tomorrow ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Shall we put over/under odds at how few devices "more in stock" counts as? Shall we wager beer?

What do we think, they maybe noticed the number of browser scripts autorefreshing every 5 seconds from annoyed non-customers?
[Nexus 6  General] SeanPlunk:
I believe they do 6 of each variant at a time. Let's set the line there :p
[Nexus 6  General] galaxys:
I'll believe it when we see it! We need a lot of inventory for more than 15 minutes!
[Nexus 6  General] acheney1990:
I just want them to send out the one I already ordered. Lol.
[Nexus 6  General] Jayrod1980:
The stupid thing is not knowing WHAT TIME on Wednesday they restock. When they had it available for like a minute, it was 5 minutes into the hour. I'm hoping since they have had another week to stock up that this might be the stock that was delayed?
[Nexus 6  General] Jsunn:
And what time Wednesday?! Yep, I fully expect not to get one.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
It is like Google hired the twits at OnePlus to handle this mess.
[Nexus 6  General] RoscoeDpG:
im off tomorrow so luckily i will get disappointed while im home haha
[Nexus 6  General] resynx:
I guess we will all be competing for those 5 Nexus' that are going on sale tomorrow. May the best man win.
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
Something random like 12:43
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
Best of luck. Thread title updated.

[Nexus 6  General] :
My God... the thirst is real.
[Nexus 6  General] Pyroshane:
May the odds be ever in your favor.
[Nexus 6  General] brian117:
It's just sad some people don't have the patience. Using bots and scripts just to get it before anybody else. Smh. This is worse if not equal to how people act on black Friday.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to preorder it ASAP so I'm guaranteed the device. But Google isn't going to be the only vendor. Good luck to whoever or whichever bot gets in on the next opening, though.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
fukk the hunger games, I just want a pre-order spot guaranteed, don't care how long they take to ship(within reason) I wont be buying through any carrier stores, don't want a tainted nexus just clean stock android, is that too much to ask? damn it Google make it happen :p
[Nexus 6  General] badboy47:
Nice! I am definitely avoiding play store and will be getting it from T-Mobile.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
They always end up not, funnily enough.
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Me too. Its one week from today. Not too far. Last year where I live the n5 was stocked pretty well. I do live in Salem Oregon so it might be different in a bigger city. I love my n5. If lollipop isn't what it should be on the n5 I'll upgrade. If not I'll use my jump to switch over.
[Nexus 6  General] nyijedi:
To be fair, if Google would just give us a damn time, I'm sure most of us wouldn't be bothering with scripts to monitor the Google Play pages. When they just give a day with no time, this is what happens - ESPECIALLY after the initial "pre-sale" lasted maybe 20 seconds. This is Google's doing.
[Nexus 6  General] tjl_48:
Is the N6 like the N5 and the carrier models don't come with any bloatware and are the same as the google play version?
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
Agreed, it's Google's fault.

I suspect they put that note up about Wednesday restocking because we're absolutely hammering their servers, though. :D
[Nexus 6  General] coach26:
I am leaning that way as well!
[Nexus 6  General] rufflez2010:
Work Smarter, not harder
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Well we all saw what happened when they gave a date. If they gave a time and specific date what do you think would happen?

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

Yes yes yes yes and just to be sure it wasn't clear...yes! Its always been like this except for Verizon. They screw things up.
[Nexus 6  General] frigidazzi:
I live in Salem Oregon too. I shall see you at the gates!
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Haha I love in ne. There's three stores around me plus keizer.
[Nexus 6  General] frigidazzi:
I'm actually in Keizer. I'm hit Keizer station first :)
[Nexus 6  General] resynx:
Seems about right.
[Nexus 6  General] tsy87:
I just got 2 push bullet notifications for a couple models... hit the link and nothing...
[Nexus 6  General] nyijedi:
Same here. 2 PB notifications, but nothing with Page Monitor, which I believe is more accurate because of the 5 second polling + not needing to go through a third party to get the notification to us.
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
I think it was a mix-up and someone made it live too soon. There's no way they went out of stock in 1 minute.

I suspect they'll be back at 2.

Or maybe that's wishful thinking. :D

On the bright side, the page now says it comes with 6 months unlimited streaming from Google Play Music.
[Nexus 6  General] bp328i:
I really hope so or this will be a worst launch than OnePlus had...
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
They're adding them one by one then putting them out of stock. Blue 64 was available for a second and it's out of stock. I think they're just getting ready for 2 PM EST.
[Nexus 6  General] osetivo:
EDIT: ok 64GB now showing out of stock, instead of "coming soon"

I hope that they are not delaying the 64GB.
[Nexus 6  General] Hand76:
Now it says out of stock for the 64GB Blue.

I wonder if there was a backdoor link posted somewhere that was shared and other sites/forums got through early.
[Nexus 6  General] soloxp:
Did they just have 5 in stock. :confused:
[Nexus 6  General] subarct1c:
I was able to get mine as well...kinda wanted the blue but the white will do.
[Nexus 6  General] BodegaBay:
Still comical every October Nexus release.
[Nexus 6  General] agentxavier:
cant believe they are sold out already wtf.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
64GB now live...and out of stock.
[Nexus 6  General] daoist:
64gb just flipped over to out of inventory.
[Nexus 6  General] tsy87:
wow, got lucky and snagged a white 64gb... i originally wanted 32 but i aint complaining.
[Nexus 6  General] polke45:
At this rate, I think the order will go live at 2PM EST.
[Nexus 6  General] Henrock11:
Damn so they leave the 21st? T-Mobile has them the 12th correct? Guess I'll have to buy it in a store.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
I briefly had my add-to-cart button work...only to break by the time the mouse click forwarded me to my cart.
[Nexus 6  General] ekerbuddyeker:
???? Went live and immediately out.of inventory? ???? No fxxxx xx way!
[Nexus 6  General] beyoung90:
I don't think they sold out that fast ! ... Wait a bit
[Nexus 6  General] dynamikz:
White 64 ordered here~! Cheers!
[Nexus 6  General] ocblazer949:
Such BS I have a white 64GB in my cart but the checkout isnt loading. Looks like i'll have to get one the next wave.
[Nexus 6  General] tsy87:
I agree... push bullet notifications have been reaching me like 10 minutes late recently.. which does not help. My page monitor didnt go off either.

I have a feeling it will be soon though, last time the orders were up around 1030ish.
[Nexus 6  General] rufflez2010:
That was to tell you the Cloud white 32gb was available... and immediately out of stock. Its last week all over again
[Nexus 6  General] EvoKnvl:
Blue 32GB up!
[Nexus 6  General] danieljordanmaddux:
32gb blue is up!
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
there live!!!!!!!! just got a 32gb white
[Nexus 6  General] EvoKnvl:
32GB White up NOW!
[Nexus 6  General] vikramjatt11:
got the 32gb blue!!
[Nexus 6  General] kgeissler:
Got a 32GB blue...was hoping for 64GB, but will take what I can get.

And it seems like they are gone now.
[Nexus 6  General] yoderk:
Woo scored a blue 32gb! :laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] dirtbikerr450:
ordered a blue 64gb
[Nexus 6  General] arcanexvi:
White 64GB popped and disappeared when added to cart as usual...
[Nexus 6  General] tmwes:
64 gig was availalble, but when I hit 'add to cart' it was gone
[Nexus 6  General] Master Ramy:
All colors and storage showing available now!
[Nexus 6  General] papi5120:
Mine disappeared from my cart -_-
[Nexus 6  General] SupaDupaFly24:
Just ordered mine 32GB White!!
[Nexus 6  General] GilesK:
got lucky checked at 12pm cst and nothing came back 10mins later and refreshed page and was able to order the 32gig white.

Woohoo
[Nexus 6  General] overlord727:
The 64 gb blue one wasn't showing up for me at first, so I ordered a 32. After I placed my order, the 64 popped up and I managed to snag one and cancel the 32! Aww yeah!
[Nexus 6  General] garyHal:
dam it, still no white 64.
