I got my replacement last week, everything works fine with this N6. And mine came with the update to 5.0.1 instead of me having to so the ota update to it.
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
Mine finally arrived.
[Nexus 6  General] jvidia:
The are 2 things preventing me from buying now a N6 .... the camera quality and the 32bit CPU :rolleyes:

The photos and video are still noticeable bad when comparing for instance to the Note 4 ?? Nothing has changed with the updates from google? Isn't it a hardware fault and not a software problem as occurred with the N5 ??

And do you guys thing that the Nexus 6 is still worth buying with all the brands launching 64bit flagships ?!

Please be sincere to me :D

I can get the N6 32GB at europe from Amazon @ 549€ and it's in stock :angel:
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Bought my 64GB N6 for 603 euro`s and i would happily buy this device again. The camera isn`t that bad, only lowlight pictures look a bit grainy to be honest though HDR+ improves them a lot. The device is fast, fluid and haven`t had stutters or lag since day one no matter what tasks i threw at it. If you only look at the new generation phones you would have to buy a new phone nearly every month to have the one with the latest hardware. The Nexus devices however have the latest software first ;)
[Nexus 6  General] jvidia:
My concern is about the 64bit race only.

But I think that in the next year or so, someone who's having a 64bit phone will not benefit much more from who has a 32bit one because the apps are still not ready to take advantage of it right?
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Yup, most aren`t atm. Atm its just a phrase/gimmick to sell phones. On my pc the 32 bit firefox browser is just as fast as my 64 bit chrome browser to be honest.
[Nexus 6  General] jt415105:
Mine finally arrived
[Nexus 6  General] jvidia:
How are you guys being affected by the back cover peeling / battery swelling issue ? All ok?

This problem is backing me up for the purchase of a N6 :(
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
That is limited and I haven't heard it lately.
[Nexus 6  General] 92slammer:
ordered mine on the 9th...will be here friday...I cant wait. first nexus since the verizon galaxy nexus
[Nexus 6  General] deserted1:
Ordered two of them on Monday they won't be here until the following Monday :( sad banana... in route from Texas
[Nexus 6  General] myboyblake:
Can Big Red orders come here to cry and whine as well now? Just purchased mine yesterday and have to wait until next wednesday the 18th!!! :'(
[Nexus 6  General] 92slammer:
Ugh...phone is 20 miles away and I won't get it till tomorrow #firstworldproblems
[Nexus 6  General] leebsammy:
I ordered via Verizon last night around 1AM. It's not expected to ship until the 18th..
[Nexus 6  General] spiral777:

[Nexus 6  General] germanmarky:
After confirmation of Verizon HD Voice working on "NON-VZW" Nexus 6's, ordered a 64GB MB one from Moto today, estimated delivery is the 20th.
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
ordered mine from verizon today.

3/18 shipping date.. and i am a little pissed they only carry the 32gb version.
[Nexus 6  General] germanmarky:
Exactly why I went right to Moto and got the 64GB version.

All features confirmed working by http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/verizon-users-verizon-branded-n6-please-t3050614

Only outstanding item is that it is listed as a non-verizon device which may be updated next week when they finally add the Nexus 6 to their whitelists.
[Nexus 6  General] leebsammy:
Why's this such a selling point? Do you guys use your phones as portable audio players too?
[Nexus 6  General] germanmarky:
As more developers create media-rich apps to take advantage of larger and crisper screens, the programs get bigger. Basically future-proofing ourselves.

4 years ago your argument would have been "Why does anyone need 4GB, are you using your phones as portable audio players too?"
[Nexus 6  General] leebsammy:
Aye, ok. My last phone was a 32GB HTC One M8 and I never went below having 15GB left. Those must be some large AF programs.
[Nexus 6  General] Afro Samurai:
Honestly, I do. Right now I have a Note 3 with a 128gb micro sd with 67gb of music.....;)
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
i used to keep like 20 gb of music on my external sd using my galaxy s3. i had like 3000 songs.

i used to stream from google music player but since losing my unlimited data 2 gb goes pretty fast.

they do sell external storage i guess you can say thumb drives. maybe i will get 1 of those

i see someone is making a case with an sd card slot built in to it. that would be interesting
[Nexus 6  General] Ortanon:
Back in the day all I wanted was for someone to make a portable media device as incredible as an iPod Touch, let alone a goddamned Nexus 6. Now it's all happening and I don't really care anymore, lol.

And yet, I got a 64GB white unit at Amazon. Better availability, better price (lower new than people are asking for used 64GB units lol), better resale value, bigger e-peen.

Also, solid state storage often performs better on bigger chips. So, maybe there's that.

I've also never filled up my 32GB phone, but somehow skimming half the storage just to save $50 over $650 didn't seem right.

As an aside, it was also $80 out of pocket because I had an insane amount of gift cards and points saved up.
[Nexus 6  General] leebsammy:
I have a separate portable audio player based on android that I use with 192gb of space. Which is more than enough for me to rotate few a bunch of albums. If I'm listening to music via my phone I guess I'd just use Pandora or Google Play Music. Doesn't Google Play Music upload your entire library?
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
There is no reason to think they will ever whitelist any N6 other than the Verizon N6. For the iP6/6+ they NEVER have whitelisted the AT&T, TMobile and Sprint models. Verizon was forced by Apple to whitelist the SIM-free iP6/6+ but that is it and it was whitelisted from the get go.

---------- Post added at 06:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 AM ----------

If you think in terms of the storage that is available to the user, it's actually more than half.

Let's say an OS takes 5GB (idk how much Lollipop and any essential apps take, just throwing a number out there), then the 32GB has 27GB available to the user and the 64GB has 59GB available to the user.

So losing 32GB when you have 59GB available to the user is a 54% loss of storage available to the user. The more room the OS takes up, the more noticeable the difference is.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
I have a 32GB Moto X with no audio, video or emails stored locally. I have apps, texts and pics on it and I don't have many apps. I only have 10GB available left on it. I have 3 years worth of texts and I have a lot of MMS so that is where all my storage goes.

I like to hoard pics and texts on my phone. I don't mind paying the extra $50 for the extra local storage.

Streaming music uses data unless you are on WiFi. And it makes my phone hot.
[Nexus 6  General] leebsammy:
I didn't think about data, thats a good point. Thats a ton of pictures btw.
[Nexus 6  General] jvidia:
Ordered 2 x Blue 32gb N6 from Amazon.fr .... will arrive somewhere in 19/20 next week ;)
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
I forgot I have a Nandroid b/u on the phone also. I should get the Nandroid off of the phone now that I think about it.
[Nexus 6  General] catcher8587:
Just curious, why are you getting a Nexus 6 after having a Note 4?
[Nexus 6  General] jvidia:
LOL I don't think it's hard to say why if you have/had a Note 4 ? :silly:

Some hints ... lag ... knox ... lag ... touchwiz ... lag ... "crawling" slow OS updates .... oh and did I said LAG :D

I'm done with Samsung. ;)
[Nexus 6  General] catcher8587:
Yikes no wonder then! I hope you are happy with your new purchase. :)
[Nexus 6  General] leebsammy:
I was quite happy with my HTC One M8 running SlimLP. I dropped that which ended up causing hardware problems with the screen. Forced me to upgrade to this Hagrid sized phone. However, it will be nice not having to unlock/root if I don't want to and still be on stock android.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
you forgot the crappy radios/antenna.
[Nexus 6  General] FoneWatcher:
My blue/32 is due from Fedex on Tuesday, but sometimes they delver earlier than promised. Monday morning would be better ;)

I own two Moto X 1095 (32/rooted + 16/stock) that are my main and backup (respectively), so I'm a little anxious to see how I adjust to the size of this behemoth (very interested) and the lack of Moto (very apprehensive) since I rely heavily on Assist and is one of the reasons why I consider the XT1085 the most perfect phone (for my needs) ever.

Oh, and I never had a wireless charging Qi device, so I want to see how that goes.
[Nexus 6  General] jvidia:
My order was dispatched today from Amazon.fr!!! Come to daddy :p
[Nexus 6  General] nicholi2789:
Verizon Nexus 6?

Is anyone else waiting on the Verizon Nexus 6?

I pre-ordered mine on the 12th and it should be here the 18th. I will be downgrading as far as storage goes (have an M8 right now with 64 gb sd card) but I think it will be worth it for that big beautiful QHD screen and limitless development. Development and bootloader unlock is an absolute MUST for any phone I get. I quit Samsung a while back since development on Verizon Samsung Devices is over. I love my M8 but I'm tired of it and have always wanted a Nexus phone. Yay! So excited.
[Nexus 6  General] kwhodson:
I am in the same boat...ordered on the 12th and coming from the M8 which has been a great phone for me. I almost ordered from the Motorola website to get the larger storage but then i would have had to shell out the cash...I was a long time samsung user through the Note II.
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
yes bro i ordered mine the same day and it is in route currently in Memphis tenn.

cant wait.. it still says estimated delivery the 18th though

my case came yesterday and my screen protector should be here by the 18th as well
[Nexus 6  General] nicholi2789:
Yeah i had the s2, s3, and s4. All those devices had a ton of development. The s4 was the last tho thanks to Loki. I wanted the s5 sorta but was tired of touchwiz, and can't live with just root only. The M8 is a great phone and I'll be sad to see it go, but I can always edge up to the m9 if I have a change of heart later. Super excited to try an entirely new brand of device. Never owned any Motorola device before.

Yeah. That's the benefit of pre-ordering. You get it ON 18th instead of having to order it the 18th and wait for it to ship. Thanks for reminding me tho, I need to get on the Verizon site and order me a case and screen protectors.

So do you guys think we will have all the same development that there is for all the other carrier branded versions of the device? I think we'll have multirom and the whole nine yards. I will miss having all this extra storage space but I will get over it I guess. It looks like manufacturers are moving away from expandable storage and trying to go to cloud storage now anyways.
[Nexus 6  General] idiotzach15:
Start checking your tracking!

I'm on Verizon and I just got actual tracking information for my N6 today.

SUPER EXCITED!

I've been away from the nexus community too long. Glad to get away from Samsung.
[Nexus 6  General] jvidia:
x2 :D
[Nexus 6  General] idiotzach15:
The Note 2 has held up pretty well, but 2 years is enough for me to move on.
[Nexus 6  General] porky101:
I am coming from the S4, I ordered mine on the 13th and mine still says it is processing
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
Where did you order from?
[Nexus 6  General] apristel:
Ordered a 64GB N6 from Motorola.com on the 12th, shipped today from China. Will be here (Wisconsin) on the 18th via FedEx. w00t!
[Nexus 6  General] porky101:
I got it from Verizon's website. It actually just shipped this morning and with an ETA of Wednesday!
[Nexus 6  General] Rockwell22:
Mine shipped this morning via FedEx , not really replacing a phone , rather I'm getting a second phone due to no root for the note 4.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
I would sell the Note4 on swappa b/c a lot of people want those and I would have no need for 2 phablets. I can see keeping a smaller phone if you have the N6, but not 2 phablets.

If you sell a Verizon Note4 with original box and accessories on swappa you should be able to net close to $500 after shipping/fees if it is in Mint condition.
[Nexus 6  General] Rockwell22:
Thought about it but I like the note 4 as well :cool:
[Nexus 6  General] sparks305:
Had to finally upgrade from my Samsung galaxy S3 such a wonderful phone but a bit outdated. Just bought a Nexus 6 for $450 off swapaa, ships tomorrow!
[Nexus 6  General] FoneWatcher:
As Motorola has done before, they under-promised, over-delivered. Ordered on the 13th, estimated for the 17th, got it today on the 16th. I'm kind of numb because of all the beauty and space on the display. Now I have to decide which one of myXT1095 Pures I have to sell:(
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
How many do you have?!?!?!?!?!?!?
[Nexus 6  General] FoneWatcher:
16GB from Moto w/ extended warranty - bone stock - paid full retail (499 at the time)

32GB with leather from eBay, rooted,. I got it for unbelievable $310- I was just lucky.

And just got the Nexus 6 from Motorola for free because they lost my XT1053 I sent in for warranty during the transition between Google and Lenovo, so I was waiting and calling every week since November, they'd say they were going to send me one out, but it never happened for over 4 months, My guess is because the phone was lost, during the changing of the guard, it was not properly checked in and there was no valid ticket, so the system would never let them book a replacement.

Finally wrote a polite letter (five pages) to Yang Yanquing explaining the literally 50 people I'd spoken with, promises they made and broken, names, dates, how long I spent on the phone (I kept detailed records of every contact and call) and pleaded with him to intervene since it could have gone on indefinitely.

I guess the letter got to the right person, because they said they were out of stock of the 53 and asked if I would accept an upgrade for my troubles and I said, "hell yes!." Two days later I get an email from Moto in China saying my order was shipped via Fedex and the code was PLAYX-1103
[Nexus 6  General] welshandy2322:
Wow you was lucky :)
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:

Ordered MB/64GB last Thursday (03/13) from Moto, and just received it via FedEx a day early! Interestingly it was loaded with 5.0, and is now updating to 5.0.1.
[Nexus 6  General] rash62ol:
Got my Verizon Nexus 6 this morning!
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
from the verizon wireless website pre-order?
[Nexus 6  General] rash62ol:
Yep. I ordered mine last Wednesday night around 10pm.
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
last question bro.. did your fedex tracking number ever update?

mine is still saying in transit from tennessee but it has been like that since sunday morning
[Nexus 6  General] rash62ol:
It showed leaving the Verizon warehouse then got stuck showing at the local FedEx location until it more or less hit the front door.

I did select the fastest delivery method when I ordered it. It cost like an additional twelve dollars or something.
[Nexus 6  General] ForeverZ3RO:
Mine hasn't updated since Sunday. It shows it's still in Tennesse with an estimated delivery date of tomorrow. Maybe mine will come today.. I can hope right? Haha

J
[Nexus 6  General] germanmarky:
New update since I've had a couple hours with the device. After the OTA to 5.0.1, there was no additional OTAs, so dropped down to fastboot flash *.img files. After the flash and reboot (did not relock the bootloader due to still unresolved issues). Booted up, and now running 5.1.
[Nexus 6  General] bigboi3021:
I'm in the official Verizon Nexus 6 shipping Tango line as well. Status has been saying it's been picked up in Tennessee Sunday and nothing since.
[Nexus 6  General] FoneWatcher:
I was, but it all evens out. My daughter's XT1034 16GB died on March 1st, five days after warranty expired. and they did lose my XT1053. that I paid for.

Mine should be tomorrow.

[Nexus 6  General] idiotzach15:
Mine is exactly the same. FedEx shows in transit from TN for the last 2 days. I was kind of hoping for a delivery today though.
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
me too still showing tennessee since sunday morning 4 am hasn't updated since

i think google voice might have a southern accent by the time i get this thing.:(

2 day shipping my ass

i did have a fedex truck drive by.. i saw the truck coming down the street.. i was thinking "it's about damn time". then it sped past my house..
[Nexus 6  General] masseurca:
I got my Verizon Nexus 6 this morning, loving it. I am in Southern California.
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
I had same issue with sitting in Memphis till 1245 today it departed Memphis.shows eta before 430 3/18
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
ok this sucks.. i just got an update on fedex. it is leaving memphis tenn now

it sat in the building 2 friggin days
[Nexus 6  General] ChristianJay:
Me 3 although it shows "En Route", whatever that means. They sent shipping info to Fedex again and changed the estimated delivery time from before 4:30 pm tomorrow to before 8:00pm tomorrow.
[Nexus 6  General] leebsammy:
Verizon's probably having Fedex hold our packages so we get them on release date. All of you need to just have patience. ***** about it if you haven't received your phone by Friday.
[Nexus 6  General] jvidia:
Received an email from SEUR .... mine arrives tomorrow :p

[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
LOL that was some funny ****.

ps. if it doesnt show tomorrow i am driving to tennessee

lol at the backwards helmet
[Nexus 6  General] idiotzach15:
You wanna pick up everyone else's while you're at it?
[Nexus 6  General] ChristianJay:
I think there just holding them at your local Fedex hub. The reason I say that is my order went from leaving Memphis at 5:25pm, to arriving in Tampa at 7:26pm. Lol. I think they've just been holding it here, not notifying me so I don't drive over and get it. I guess it's super important that I don't have the phone before it's "official" release, even though others have received theirs and Verizon made us wait 4.5 months for a black, no I mean midnight blue one anyway.
[Nexus 6  General] idiotzach15:
Yeah, I thought of this a little while ago. I figure either at midnight, or when the actual truck goes out, all of our tracking information will be updated. Most of us are just very excited, and very tired of or respective current phones.
[Nexus 6  General] BraddB:
I just ordered my Nexus through our local Verizon... they have no idea when it will get here... said they will call me and let me know when it arrives. I just hope it doesn't take too long.

Now i am a happy owner of a brand new nexus 6.

cant wait to unlock, root, un-encrypt and twrp it out tonight

i am going to rock the stock rom for a bit

i did make a huge mistake.. i bought a case for it on amazon a few days ago. i never even looked at it. so i went to put the case on and the friggin thing has glitter on it. it is all sparkly and crap it looks terrible
[Nexus 6  General] Rockwell22:
Once updated to 5.1 on Verizon is it safe to root, unlock, etc ...
[Nexus 6  General] Odd_Sam:
For what it's worth, I chatted with support just now and they stated it "may take up to 24 hours to update". I asked when is reasonable to expect an update to the status. He'd say check back in tomorrow morning and call in.

I'm sure I'm just too excited.
[Nexus 6  General] welshandy2322:
Lol you know what I think they hang around the corner and wait for you to go out. Dhl & ups do this all the time to me I think
[Nexus 6  General] Odd_Sam:
I'm now getting: "We are working hard to complete your order. Unfortunately, it will not be shipped as originally scheduled. You will receive a shipment confirmation email when your order ships, which will include a new delivery date."
[Nexus 6  General] bcrawford:
This is really frustrating. I chatted with a verizon rep this morning and they couldn't tell me anything more than I already knew, that my order has not shipped yet. My status still reads: "Your order is processing. Your shipping details will be available soon."

I definitely won't be preordering in the future. It irks me because I could go to my local verizon store right now and pick one up.

BTW, what kind of shipping did you chose?
[Nexus 6  General] gharrrrrr:
Mine was supposed to be here yesterday. Waited at home all day for it. To afraid to leave unless I missed the FedEx man. Now status on tracker says "No estimated delivery date available at this time." I believe my new Nexus may be lost in limbo. Anyone know a good psychic that could help me reach it?
[Nexus 6  General] Odd_Sam:
I'm a bit frustrated as well. I should be able to drive out to a store and claim my preorder...

Naturally, I picked 2 day because I felt I couldn't justify an extra $15 to get it today. Had I known my order would have been delayed I'd have picked 1 day.
