ouch...i think you just wasted your money bro. I checked with the rep because when I was near the end it said they ship it 2 days after it comes in i asked him if I would waste my money if I got 1 day shipping, he said I definitely would. He said they will ship everyone's out at the same time that ordered it on the same day. He said if they come in early then they will be shipped out early but with the 2 day shipping method as stated in the fine print. :P
[Nexus 6  General] piaa_nissan:
No worries, it wasn't that much compared to what a lot of businesses charge for it.
[Nexus 6  General] myboyblake:
touche. 12.99 isn't bad at all for overnight. im sitting here praying we get em early!!! :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
Well the leak was not wrong just not complete info the 12th was preorder date..either way we are good nexus on the way got my confirmation and accepted order.Now sit back and wait..If I can't unlock I keep the g3 which has ROMs and plenty of development.. I hear we are good unlockable like the rest!
[Nexus 6  General] piaa_nissan:
I bought a Sprint Nexus 6 to test for a couple days and had no issues other than reduced battery life over my Note 4. I loved the ability to root and run custom ROMS again. Glad they've finally released it knowing theres already a bunch of ROM support has they all share the same hardware across the domestic carriers.
[Nexus 6  General] zetsumeikuro:
I really doubt you will notice breath taking differences for real life performance of a 805 vs 810. 64 bit is still in its infancy and I'm sure most apps aren't optimized properly at this point. You're going to pass up a great device that you can unlock easily for what? Have better hardware to be crippled by crappy Samsung software? I'm pretty sure the S6/S6 Edge and the Note 5 will be locked down hard especially on Verizon. Unless you want to fork out $700+ for a developer edition which I doubt is the case since you're on the EDGE program. I'm pretty sure we can expect the next Nexus phone to have a 64 bit soc and by then more 64 bit compatibility and optimization. So when that happens I'm sure we'll see the differences in everyday usage that you're hoping for today. I'm sure I don't have to give you the whole what good is hardware without proper software optimizaton spiel ;).

Anyone able to download Verizon's visual VM app now?
[Nexus 6  General] jtorress:
This would be nice. I've been looking for it with no luck.
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
My store verified the 19th as the date for the phone but did not know about any Verizon colors.
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
I ordered mine middle of night,got confirmation and terms..Everything is done.. Ship date 18th arriving 19th rep I spoke to which for once sounded knowledgeable said she followed leaks and 12th was preorder which is what my email says..Its black not blue and its just like any other nexus! May or may not be true ,either way mine will be here next week ,she said may ship early.I agree with that because I have gotten phones couple days early by doing preorder.
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
If the preordered phone does not arrive a couple of days earlier than the in store date, I would rather go to the store. Maybe they will arrive early and give us a heads up?
[Nexus 6  General] DroidDont:
I opted to order direct from Moto last week, arrived today. Cut down my current MicroSIM to a NanoSIM, activated, and I'm off and running.
[Nexus 6  General] srphoenix:
I've been running a motorola purchased phone on verizon for a couple weeks now and it just shows up as an unrocognized vzw device. Am I safe to try and activate it now that the phone is live or do I risk booting myself off of their network?
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
I would consider ordering from the Comcast link for the $200 gift card:

[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
I might if i had an account with Comcast.
[Nexus 6  General] nbdysreal:
For all wondering, Verizon now accurately lists the phone as Blue on the website.
[Nexus 6  General] beepea206:
Just went to a store... They told me they can't put one out or sell one til the 19th, even though they're available on the website. I'm growing tired of the hoops... Time to buy from Google.
[Nexus 6  General] FatCat0:
You don't need one to get the gift card. Just ordered mine this morning (over the phone, don't know if it matters).
[Nexus 6  General] leebsammy:
Bruh, you waited until today just to buy from Google? It's one week.
[Nexus 6  General] beepea206:
I'm on the EDGE program, mate and I didn't think it would take vz 3 months to release the damn phone. I should have expected it from past experience, but still.
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
Lmao ya why would u buy from Google now it's less than a week

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

And it's on the website as preorder.So order u will have on 19th,hell maybe they will release early and u will get before..Either way I'm sitting back waiting on freedom n6#FTW

Nexus comes locked ,you have to unlock and vzw will be no different
[Nexus 6  General] acr21:
I'd really like to get the 64GB version. Has anyone had any luck using their upgrade to buy a different phone and selling it? How much should I expect to net by going this route and does anyone have any tip on the best phone to do it with, where to sell it etc? Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
I wanted a 64gb model. 32gb is plenty still. Not a Comcast customer, can't even get Comcast here, but I ordered mine on an Edge up through the promotional link. Not gonna pass up 200 free bucks to upgrade my Note 3.
[Nexus 6  General] myboyblake:
yeah thats the attitude! why have the phone when you can play with a pretty pink case all day? :P
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
I do this all the time. The only phone to get if you want to turn around and sell it is the 16GB iP6 - it has the highest profit margin. On swappa you should be able to get $575 for it.

http://swappa.com/buy/apple-iphone-6-verizon/us

Then you have to figure in the cost of shipping with insurance and paypal/swappa fees. Net about $525.

If you order through the Comcast link, you should get the $200 gift card if you activate the phone first on your line and then remove the SIM card before you sell it.

http://www.comcast.com/verizon-wireless.html

So that would be OOP cost for the iP6 after upgrade fee and sales tax of $55 if you get the $200 gift card. Subtract $55 OOP cost from the $525 net from the swappa sale and you net $470.

If you sell on craig's list you could keep the entire $575. The 16GB iP6 sells for $690 full retail after my sales tax so the person would be saving $115, which for a lot of people would be worth it. If you do sell on craig's list, make sure you take one of those pens with your to check the money for counterfeit money and of course, meet in a public place.
[Nexus 6  General] Novakingwai:
And bring a gun
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
I hear you and I am not a craig's list seller myself but lots of people do it and survive to tell about it, lol! They screen their potential customers. I am willing to sell for less and avoid the risks of CL.

I am selling mine for $525 to a friend of a friend, which is the same as I think I could net off of swappa. I could get more if I would sell it on CL, but I am willing to take less for a safer transaction.
[Nexus 6  General] zetsumeikuro:
So you Verizon Nexus 6 guys will apparently be getting blue. Verizon updated the color on their webpage now, so no black RIP.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
My N6 shipping from China is showing a 5 day shipping time but of course that assumes it doesn't get delayed in customs over there.

---------- Post added at 06:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 AM ----------

Ya, we know. There is a whole thread about it.
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
too bad there is no 64 GB version....
[Nexus 6  General] ktimque:
From VZW? How are you tracking it?
[Nexus 6  General] acr21:
Thanks a lot for laying that all out for me. I think I'll go for it. For some reason I was thinking the IP6 Plus would be the best device to sell but I'm glad I asked here first. One last question, where is the best place to buy the phone outright? Looks like Motorola has it in stock and the Google store says "ships in 2-3 weeks." Thanks again.

Sorry one more question. Do I have to take the iPhone out of the box or can I activate it without opening it so i can sell it as unopened?
[Nexus 6  General] biggtdp:
I've had mine since November and was just at the Verizon store last night. Rep told me a few weeks after release they should be able to add my IMEI to their network. That would be sometime in April.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
I ordered from motorola.

When it first came out and was in limited supply and hard to get that was true. But you have to remember that the more a phone costs, the higher the paypal fees and the smaller the potential buyer pool - both of those factors effect not only your net profit but how quickly the phone sells. The 16GB iP6 is the lowest price so highest demand and lowest paypal fees.

Also, even though I would never have a 16GB phone, many people are simply unwilling to pay an extra $100 for the 64GB models. Check the ebay and swappa prices to get a feel for what you could sell your device for.

I bought mine through Motorola and it shipped the next day. I will get mine before the Verizon models even ship.

I also added the MotoCare policy for $129. Pricey but I can see myself shattering the screen given how large the device is. And the deductible is only $39.

I did not get the Mrrebates 3% cash back and when I checked on Fat Wallet it says the Nexus 6 is excluded so that makes sense.

You could try doing it online using the numbers on the box, but AFAIK to complete the SIM activation, the phone must be turned on. And if you do try and are unsuccessful, then you would need to open the box and complete the activation b/c the SIM would be in a partial activation state when the buyer goes to open the device. If they turned the phone on with the SIM in the phone, the phone would activate on your line, bumping whatever phone you had on the line off of the line and inactivating the SIM card that had been active on your line.

If you don't already have a Verizon nano SIM card for your Nexus 6, what you could do is activate the iPhone 6 on your line, add the HD Voice feature, get VoLTE active on the iP6 (by selecting cellular in the settings, enable LTE, voice + data), then power down and put the Verizon SIM in your N6 - then VoLTE would be active on the line. Then of course factory reset the iP6. If you go that route, don't use an Apple ID to activate the iP6 - just skip that and of course skip setting up a passcode and touch ID and since no Apple ID, no Find My iPhone.

After having sold many iPhones during the Apple glitch I can tell you that I was lucky if I got $20 more for a sealed device. It may be different now, idk.
[Nexus 6  General] acr21:
Thanks for all the info. I read the condition definitions on swappa and it says:

New (Resale)

Never activated, rooted, or refurbished

Includes original box and all accessories

No signs of use

Since it will have been activated does that mean I will need to list it as Mint?

And hopefully the last question: In your experience is there a certain color iPhone that sells best?

Thanks again for all your help.

Initializing Verizon Nexus 6

I've just ordered my N6 from Verizon; I expect I'll see it next Thursday or Friday. What's the best way to initialize it? Should I remove the SIM, do a factory reset, reload, reinsert the SIM, and then register the phone with Verizon? I'm wondering if this would bypass any VZ-specific stuff that might be on the phone. I'm open to suggestions.
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
From my experience it would not matter. As soon as you connect with a new sim the carrier automatically will download it to the phone.

I have seen this on all ROMs. It all depends on Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] billycar11:
i just had this problem today will my google play store bought nexus 6 be recognized once Verizon ships the nexus 6?

im starting to get worried because they sell it now and they just took away my discount

anyone with a gps bought nexus 7 lte have it recognized by vzw? if they did that they will probably add the nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] TiltedAz:
Went to 2 verizon stores last night in hopes of attaching my wife's N6's imei to her account but still no success. They say verizon may or may not officially allow non-verizon phones on the network. Worst case, we still have options with other carriers. Still curious about google's new wireless service.
[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:
All Reps have told me over the past month that my Motorola-purchased Nexus 6 should be recognized in their system after they officially support the phone, so I'm hoping that does turn out to be the case, as I don't know if that will impact support of data during voice calls or not.

- ooofest
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
Advanced calling works fine now.
[Nexus 6  General] goinflyn:
I spoke to a rep yesterday in the hopes of vzw recognizing my n6 that I bought from t-mo. Her response was, "after consulting with vzw's activation team, only n6's with an imei starting with 99 will be recognized by vzw. " my concern was that when I switched plans a few months ago I had a loyalty discount on my phone (HTC droid DNA) that was removed when I replaced it with the n6. I've had to call for 2 months now to keep adding the discount.
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
My vzw n6 shipped will be here wed maybe earlier ,as I usually get before they say
[Nexus 6  General] MVPete1:

[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
Lol never get email till day after I just check and under order status in my vzw there the tracking info was

The orange and black on the back dbrand skin. Trying to see if dbrand will make me the nexus lettering

[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
Thanks they do custom orders too
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
Looks very sharp! Not a big fan of making the phones large with cases or bumpers but like the orange and carbon look.
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
Surprisingly this bumper case doesn't make the phone bigger. It still feels the same size.
[Nexus 6  General] RW-1:

[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
There was a post on xda somewhere where i read that someone recieved theirs yesterday
[Nexus 6  General] RW-1:
I saw it posted on droid-life, and checked my order on VZ, had a track, looking at that today shows delivery tomorrow.

The timing works out splendidly, because I ordered a Supcase for it on Sat as well, was "supposed" to be delivered on Friday to coincide, however Amazon for whatever reason is delivering that today when we checked that this morning.

So I have the case tonight and the phone to put into it tomorrow, nothing like being prepared eh? It's getting real hehehe ....
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Ordered the supcase as well, Yootech tempered glass screen protector and some CHOE Qi charging mat for 45 shipped total. All of that and the N6 to be delivered tomorrow.

To those who don't know if Verizon will be supported:

Look at the bottom of this page... http://www.google.com/nexus/6/
[Nexus 6  General] Dusty Rhodes:
90% of whats going on with you and your N6 is due to the contract your company has with VZW and has nothing to do with how VZW treats the N6 for a private line.

I popped the sim from my VZW MotoX (unlimited data plan) into my N6 a month and a half ago, and haven't had a single issue. I had to call VZW to port my number from TMo and when I did she noticed that my phone had changed. She verified my imei and tested my data. I rebooted my phone and she gave me a call on it and then asked me to call her. Within 15-20 minutes my N6 was on VZW with my personal phone number and working without a hitch. As of right now my phone is listed as "Non-Verizon Nexus 6" on my account.

All of this talk about VZW hating the N6 and plotting against the device is BS. For the most part people are confusing unknowledgeable customer service reps with a corporate conspiracy.
[Nexus 6  General] About20ninj45:
Let me re-elaborate what im saying because it seemed to have confused you... your basically repeating what im saying, i only provided the information about my experience to get down to the bottom line of what verizon told us about...the fact that the rep said mid to end of February for a VERIZON brand/supported nexus 6. I was just stating the fact that my device shows in thier system as a " non verizon supported device * ( when clearly it is because i have had the handset since day one.... on verizon and they are just now saying something about it. All i did was take the sim card from my iphone5s and pop it in and done. I didnt have to call them or anything...it just worked as expected. Fast fwd to yesterday, all that time went by and then verizon wanted to say something. They didnt say, "It can't or will not work or that its not allowed", they just said that they will "officially" support it in febraury and that my device would not activate (once again ... lies) so i just laughed and forwarded you guys the bits and pieces of information. Hope i clarified that enough because im just hopeful that users waiting on a verizon nexus 6 get thiers soon, im rooting for them, is that wrong? This phone is beastly, almost to the point i havent flashed anything and im actually satisfied with it stock.... i just want to ad ad away but i think my shamu is to pretty to root

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

lol yea i told that to the rep and they came back with some technicality about it being grayed out because verizon hasnt officially released it lol
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
I see a greyed out Verizon logo, and nothing that says it is available, nor that it is certified to be 100% working on Verizon. Good thing we have many beta testers here on XDA to help Verizon test the devices on their red network. :D
[Nexus 6  General] zetsumeikuro:
Hardly beta testing since it was stated that it WILL work on Verizon. The greyed out Verizon logo has been there since day one... People just keep saying the same stuff over and over again. If a Verizon version comes out and you guys are happy with a bloatded down VZW tramp stamp version grats. If it doesn't Moto has financing that you can take advantage of.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
If one cannot unlock the boot loader, then it is simply not a Nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] slapshot30:
Nothing would surprise me at this point. Google and Android OEMs haven't had a problem bending over to Verizon in the past. The VZW Note 4 may never get root, while most other carrier Note 4 versions are easily rootable. I don't think this will happen, but I wouldn't put it past them.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
That's one of the main reasons I didn't get the Note 4 for Verizon. If N6 wasn't going work on Verizon I was just before switching to T- Mobile.
[Nexus 6  General] ChristianJay:
So for you guys waiting to see if the 26th brings the on-contract N6, if it doesn't what's the plan?

If it does drop, the 64gb white is what I'll hopefully buy, although that may be another pipe dream as Google doesn't seem to make many of these combos. Anyway, if not, I'm thinking either 64gb Droid Turbo or maybe wait another month or so for an S6(never had a Samsung smart phone and don't like Touchwiz), or M9 (I'm lukewarm when it comes to HTC)?
[Nexus 6  General] pwned3:
Compared to the other manufacturers HTC phones are very friendly to unlocking. I've had an incredible, rezound, and an m8. All nice and all have been s-off. Unlike many Samsung phones of recent. If you like modding and ROMs and aren't going to keep the nexus then an HTC would be the way to go IMO

[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
All phones have a bootloader
[Nexus 6  General] Afro Samurai:
My plan is to pretty much wait and see what happens on the 26th and see if Big Red tries to lock it down. If it doesn't happen or they lock it down I'm thinking of going HTC maybe. Every one I've had before was completely rooted and s-off. Though the wire trick on the Rezound to get s-off was funky.
[Nexus 6  General] Bright09:
i ment unlocked bootloader
[Nexus 6  General] SeanPlunk:
As far as most recent flagships go, for Verizon this is the list as far as I can remember:

HTC One (M7) - Unlockable/S-Off via Sunshine (up to 4.4.3, support for 4.4.4+ coming)

HTC One (M8) - Unlockable/S-Off via Sunshine (up to 4.4.3, support for 4.4.4+ coming)

LG G2 - Bypassed with Loki or Bump

LG G3 - Bypassed with Bump

Motorola Moto X (2013) - Unlockable via Sunshine (up to 4.4.3, support for 4.4.4+ coming)

Motorola Droid Mini/Ultra/Maxx - Unlockable via Sunshine (up to 4.4.3, support for 4.4.4+ coming)

Samsung Galaxy S4 - Bypassed with Loki on early firmware(s?)

Samsung Galaxy S5 - Safestrap Recovery

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 - Unlockable

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - Safestrap Recovery

The Droid Turbo, Moto X(2014), Note 4, Note Edge and Z3v are all locked and currently have no root/bootloader bypass or unlock options as far as I know. I'm doing this all from memory so I may be off though :)
