You could take my advice and flip an iPhone with your upgrade through the Comcast link then you wouldn't be disappointed.
[Nexus 6  General] adstro:
This actually my thought now that the N6 will be allowed on Verizon's network. I think I will order a 64GB device from GPS and activate on Verizon. I seem to read story after story of people doing something similiar...ordering from other places and activating on Verizon. Has anyone had problems with this?
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
There is a whole thread on this about getting a Verizon nano SIM active in an N6. I have a Moto X already so I have an active nano SIM on my line.

I ordered through Motorola but I wanted the MotoCare. It shipped the next day and will be here before the Verizon N6 even ships.
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
Don't know if Verizon may be shipping early mine went to showing the packaging in process with no ship date in past that ment it was in preshipping process,Crossing fingers for early arrival
[Nexus 6  General] rjackson23:
Mines the same
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
When someone gets their phone from Verizon, could you please verify whether it comes out of the box with firmware build LMY47D or LMY47E? Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] dirtyjersey856:
Waiting for my CW 64gb as we speak...I called my local Verizon store(only cellphone store for miles) and said I needed a nano..they asked for what phone and I straight up told them a Nexus..they said OK, $10. Done.
[Nexus 6  General] sonofevil77:
I'm on Verizon and I got a white nexus. It works perfectly and with 5.1 it has Verizon volte so I'm not getting the Verizon version. I waited long enough. F Verizon.

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

That's right, I had a moto x on Verizon and a Note 3. I sold my Moto x but kept using the sim in my Note with an adapter so I ordered a white nexus and popped the sim in and boom, Verizon Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
You called a 3rd party store then, Verizon doesn't charge for sim cards
[Nexus 6  General] dirtyjersey856:
I did. The closest real Verizon store is over 30 miles away. I'm in a bum-f#ck Minnesota town..there's a 3rd party Verizon store here with "awesome" workers... Its in parentheses since they're the worst employees known to man.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
OK well, that is a VAR (Verizon Authorized Retailer) not a corporate store and although they will sell you a SIM card for $10, they won't be able to activate it in a non-Verizon branded N6.

So you can buy all the SIM cards you want from VARs but they won't be able to get the SIM cards active in a non-Verizon branded N6 unless Verizon whitelists the N6 IMEI.

The only way they can get your non-Verizon branded N6 active on your line is to first activate the SIM card in one of their Verizon branded devices that takes a nano SIM on your line. That will get the SIM card active on your line, then you can put the SIM card in your N6. However, many are reluctant to do that, although some will. I wouldn't do it if I were them b/c then their device shows up in your device history and then you could report it as lost or stolen. If they are smart they won't do it but they may not be smart.
[Nexus 6  General] dirtyjersey856:
OK, question... I still have my Note 4 DE active..I've got a sim adapter..can I get the nano and put it in the adapter then into my DE and activate it that way? Its that or drive 50 miles to a regular Verizon corporate...
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
I think it may go out today or Monday everything changed from preorder to just order number which in past ment its now at warehouse for shipping, crossing fingers,watching credit card when its charged its on
[Nexus 6  General] rjackson23:
I hope it does
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
Me too I'm ready to unlock ,I already have been working on a sexy theme for n6
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
You can try but the problem is that any time I have tried to activate a SIM in an adapter, the reps get an incompatible SIM card error. And it is just not me - many people on the slick deals thread on UDP upgrades have experienced the same thing leading me to conclude that the system does not allow you to activate the wrong size SIM card in an adapter in a phone.

The Verizon system knows by the SIM card number what size SIM card it is and they know by the IMEI of the device if the SIM card is the right size for the phone and the Verizon system will not allow the wrong sized SIM card to be activated in a device. Some people say they have gotten tech support people who were able to get past that error and get the wrong size SIM card active but when I tried this, I was not able to get anyone who could get past it.

One option you have it to buy a SIM cutter and cut down your Note4 SIM card. Or cut it down by hand, there is lots of information on how to do this online.

You are missing the point. No one at a store be it a VAR or corporate store will be able to activate a Verizon nano SIM for you in a non-Verizon branded device because the IMEI of the device is not on the Verizon whitelist. Chat and phone reps won't be able to either. None of those people have the ability to whitelist your device. There is a whole thread on this.

There are people who have this (likely mistaken) hope that once the Verizon N6 is released all of the non-Verizon branded N6's IMEIs will magically appear on the Verizon whitelist. The only way that can happen is if Google forced Verizon to do it like Apple forced Verizon to put the SIM-free iP6/6+ IMEIs on the Verizon whitelist. But those were on the Verizon whitelist from the get go. I doubt it will happen with the non-Verizon branded N6 and I am certain it will not happen on the AT&T and Sprint branded N6.

If you don't want to cut down your existing SIM card, your best bet is to buy the SIM card, see if you can get the VAR to activate it on your line using one of their devices. If they won't, then you need to obtain the IMEI of a Verizon branded phone that uses a nano SIM card and call in with your SIM card number and the IMEI number and give those to the rep while the SIM card is in your N6 and try to get it activate that way. Or borrow a friend's Moto X, Droid Turbo, M8 and use that to get it active on your line then pop it in your N6.

There is a whole thread on this.

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

They won't be able to get your device active either unless they are willing to activate the SIM card in a display model Moto X, M8 or DT on your line. I would call to ask if they would do that before making that long of a drive.

Again, there is a whole thread on this detailing what people have to do to get a non-Verizon branded N6 active on their lines.
[Nexus 6  General] dirtyjersey856:
Just had a chat with the chick at the one closest to me...said she would set one up in an M8 or X for me...we will see..she's usually evil.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
I would still bring the Note4 and the adapter with you to try out the possibility of getting the nano SIM active in that - like I said I was never able to get anyone on the phone who could for me but others have said they were able to get tech reps who could get past the incompatible SIM card error.
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
My order with Verizon (edge up) shows order processing. Anyone know what it means? I assume it means in limbo until they start receiving the units from Motorola.
[Nexus 6  General] porky101:
Mine still shows it as processing, but I also ordered mine late last night.
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
They just charged my card that always means shipping, they never charge till it ships,yaaaaaaa its on

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

They have the units.it will change soon
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
Looking forward to it..
[Nexus 6  General] mwalt2:
I haven't read too much, but thought I'd bug you for a quick answer [emoji1] . What happens if I take my active nanosim and put it in a microsim VZW device with an adapter? Will it show up as the correct phone online (allowing account changes)? TIA
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
That works I have done it with a GNex. The GNex shows up fine on the line with an already active nano SIM in an adapter in it.

The only problems are when you try to activate a new SIM card (i.e., one that is not currently active on your line) in a device that is meant to have a different size SIM card or when you try to activate a new SIM in a non-Verizon branded device. I was never able to activate the nano SIM in the adapter in my GNex, but could activate it in my Verizon Moto X and then put it in the adapter and into the GNex.
[Nexus 6  General] cocachoopa43:

[Nexus 6  General] piaa_nissan:
I'm stoked, mines showing delivery by Tuesday @12pm. I seriously was hoping I could hold out until thursday and now I won't have too!
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Guys, when one of you gets your phone from Verizon, can you please do me a favor?

1. Before booting your phone for the first time, could you please hold down the volume down button while powering up? That'll take you into the bootloader screen. Please let me know the bootloader version that's displayed on screen.

2. Boot the phone normally, then go through the setup process.

3. Please go into Settings | About Phone and let me know the Android build number, Android version, and baseband version.

4. If there's an OTA update available out of the box, please snag the URL before you update. To do this, go into Settings | About Phone, tap the build number repeatedly until you get a toast notification saying you're now a developer. Then, go under Settings | Developer Options, enable USB debugging, then tap "Take Bug Report." After a minute or two, you'll have a notification saying the bug report is complete. Email the bug report to yourself, then open the text file that comes to you via email and search for ".zip" (without the quotes). Post the filename here.

5. After you update, repeat steps 1-3.

If someone could do this for me, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
Will do but its the same version as already pulled in the xda thread
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
You're probably right, but don't know that for 100% certain until someone actually has the device in their hands and can verify it. Thanks for your help!
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
No prob I'm versed in adb so I can root /unlock dump whatever! I'm 99.99999% sure vzw is a true nexus and the firmware already posted is actual final vzw! No worries I get mine wed and will drop some files for you to look over!
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
I appreciate it. I really don't need the files, as I'm just an archivist. I just want to make sure we have the full history of "firmware available in the wild" for the Nexus 6, so all I need is the information. Regardless, thanks for the help!
[Nexus 6  General] HD_Dude:
Shipped!

Verizon emailed shipping notification...will arrive tomorrow morning Via FedEx.

I'll have it Tuesday the 17th.

Ordered it just after midnight on the 12th and paid for expedited shipping.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Would you be willing to do the steps in my post above in order to get some information for me?
[Nexus 6  General] HD_Dude:
Yes, glad to.

Tuesday I'm on a business trip... it might be Wednesday before I can really jump in and start using the Nexus 6.

Your steps have been explained very clearly, and so I believe I do not need advanced knowledge to get the information you are looking for. I'll be glad to help.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
You definitely don't need advanced knowledge. Thanks again!
[Nexus 6  General] joshw0000:
Anybody got a system dump of the Vzw firmware? Just picked up another Sprint model. My main reason for not keeping the other was the lack of VoLTE. If I can flash Vzw firmware and use simultaneous voice and data, this one might be a keeper.
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
5.1 has it built in. Any carrier.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Not on Sprint or USCC, because neither of those carriers have rolled out VoLTE anywhere yet. It works great on T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon though.
[Nexus 6  General] findjaime:
Same here...received tracking number last night, arriving on Wednesday via 2 day FEDEX.
[Nexus 6  General] umneycreep:
Mine says Delivery Tuesday by 4:30pm also, but this is what Fedex tracking looks like when it means that it hasn't actually shipped yet. It means they have the info... if it updates to departed Fedex location then it's actually shipped... So I have my doubts... but I hope I'm wrong.

Sorry if this has been confirmed already but do we know that the VZW-branded N6 will be as easy to root and unlock as other Nexus devices or are we still waiting to have the device in-hand to be sure? I'm on a company plan and have been waiting to upgrade my Note II.
[Nexus 6  General] umneycreep:
I'm in the same situation as you... Holding onto a cracked Note 2 on the company plan waiting for the Verizon Nexus 6 ... praying that when I have it in my grubby lil hands I can type "fasboot oem unlock" and be granted my wish. Sadly, I have my doubts... but we will see, please be a true Nexus, please be a true Nexus.

[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Thursday in corporate stores.
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
I still have not seen one in person. I will have mine on wednesday though. Cant wait.
[Nexus 6  General] catcher8587:
I went to the ATT store today to look at one because I was on the fence. It was attached to the security cable, of course, but it is definitely very thin and I think manageable to fit in my front pocket. The ATT rep was actually very nice and took out a case for one for me so I could stick that in pocket and get a feel for the size. He said that while his bigger phone took a couple weeks to get used to, he'll never go back. I'm ordering mine tomorrow. :)
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
I had a Note 3 (my wifes now) before my G3 so I should be fine on the size. Just have to be more carefully with it in my pocket at work! Miss the big amoled screen.

Now if CM would get with 5.1 already!
[Nexus 6  General] HD_Dude:
I saw one

I'm in Canada on a business trip. I saw a N6 in a Bell Wireless store. All those bloggers who say this phone is soooooo enormous, soooooo huge and tooooooo big are idiots. This phone is larger than the Note 2 but not by very much. It is a perfect size, it is a beautiful device, and I'm going to really enjoy using it every day.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
NOTHING compares to the Note series screens. Nothing. They are the most beautiful screens ever. But they come in phones that have Samsung's horrible radios/antennas. And then to add insult to injury, Touchwiz on top of Android!!!!

But still, the Note series screens are gorgeous.
[Nexus 6  General] dirtyjersey856:
I would agree..loved my Note 3 and 4's screens...it'll be hard not to compare when I get my Nexus tomorrow (aliens willing)
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:

Last update was a second scan there I believe. Mmaybe an exit scan. I am expecting it tomorrow. Usually FedEx comes before noon so I will get the info then.

I thought it was weird they sent it on a Sunday. However the info was not sent to FedEx until Monday so that is why it was sitting there so long.

One more day....?
[Nexus 6  General] dabug123:
Same don't worry,it will get updated late tonight or early am

No Fedex Update

My N6 also has been sitting in Memphis at FedEx with no update since early Monday am with a Wednesday delivery date. Still hoping maybe by some miracle (or issue with the FedEx system) that it will show up today. Also wondering how 2 day shipping with a Sunday pickup takes it to a Wednesday delivery.

[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
That's all the info I needed. Thank you! Two other quick things: I assume there's no Verizon logo during boot? Also, if you log into My Verizon, does the phone show as a Nexus 6?
[Nexus 6  General] umneycreep:
Pure Nexus Android boot, you know with the swirling dots. I didn't see a Verizon logo. Yes it shows as GOOGLE NEXUS 6

In other news I have unlocked the bootloader which was easy... I just can't believe Verizon gave us a pure Nexus... wow.
[Nexus 6  General] haevolution:
There is no Verizon logo at boot that I saw. Haven't popped in the SIM yet so not sure about the other question.

Not sure where they got the black from its blue.

[Nexus 6  General] dalegg:
When I first went to the corporate store near me to get a nano sim, they said I had to have the phone. I went home and got the phone and said they could not give a nano sim because the imei was not in their database. Duh! I told the guy just give me the sim, I will activate it myself. He said no he couldn't give me one. What an asshole.

I went online and told them I wanted a nano sim for my Nexus 6. They said sure and i paid them $12.00. Arrived overnight, called them up and activated it, no problem.

Some of the people in the Verizon stores are arrogant, stupid and are jerks.
[Nexus 6  General] catcher8587:

[Nexus 6  General] dirtyjersey856:
You're saying they activated the sim while it was in a GP or Moto N6? I went in today and they said they didn't have a phone to activate it in..my girl has a Z3v but idk if it takes a nano, I do know a guy with an M8 I'm going to ask him to do so..mine should be here tomorrow...allegedly.

[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Out of curiosity, does the IMEI number of your phone begin with 990? Normally, phones sold by CDMA carriers have IMEIs in that range. My Nexus 6 was purchased from Sprint and it does.
[Nexus 6  General] umneycreep:
Yes it does.
[Nexus 6  General] TiltedAz:
We'll see if non 99#'s are officially allowed in the network. Unfortunately, I bet it's the same old BS.
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
What do you mean? My Motorola purchased Nexus 6 is working just fine on Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
So far only Verizon's 99 range is allowed. Mine has a 99 number, because it came from Sprint. Mine still shows as "Non-VZW Device."
