As someone who has been on a nexus 4/5 with only 16gb on each device, I tend to have about 4gb of space left over with music taking up 4.5gb. Photos and videos go into the cloud and get deleted off the device. That is an ample amount of music and if I get bored I can stream something or just swap some albums out later. 32gb is going to be like... I don't know what to do with all this space lol.

Anyone who likes the speck case on the playstore might be interested in saving a few quid, instead of 40 sheets it's only 24.99 at mobile fun :)

My case is now processing, the phone is still pending.
[Nexus 6P General] krs360:
Were they on the same order?
[Nexus 6P General] chistery:
No, I made that mistake before!
[Nexus 6P General] vinokirk:
Hmmmm, I wonder if I can sweet talk one of the CPW staff into giving me a 6P today...
[Nexus 6P General] Malc1975:
I web chatted with o2 on Friday night after being told by the phone people 202 that all preorders had been allocated (wtf I wasnt told they had preorders)

Any way turns out they haven't had preorders and by the gist of the webchat its coming very soon they are just running some tests on the network

The guy did hint at keeping particular attention to the website from Wednesday onwards

Likewise I want to stay with o2 direct but kind of wish I had used cpw now for upgrade

I think last years n6 was in stock when they first came and they never bothered with a 2nd batch
[Nexus 6P General] danyul91:
Are Google likely to process/ship any orders today?
[Nexus 6P General] chistery:
No one has reported being charged so I'd guess not.
[Nexus 6P General] Stephen:
LOL this should be added to the OP as instructions on how to get the phone :D
[Nexus 6P General] keer-en:
Well got my tracking details through yesterday a few hours after ordering with delivery expected tomorrow. :D
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
Great find! You should update the guys who wrote the article just in case they've not found it themselves. Really good to hear that can still unlock bootloader.
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
Orzly do a good one. I've used then before and been quite happy with the fit.

[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
No charge on my card as yet. My order contains the 128gb 6P, the case and Chromecast audio and new Chromecast. Still at "pending" stage.
[Nexus 6P General] kboya:
Likewise, 64gb with Chromecast and case.
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
I think the main issue with storage these days is the price manufacturers are charging on phones without expandable storage but I agree, 32gb should now be the base for all smartphones, especially with high resolution photos and 4K video recordings. With those two set as default on most phones, I've found myself recording or taking pictures with the highest resolution which obviously takes up a lot of room as opposed to FHD recording or lower resolution pictures.
[Nexus 6P General] Stephen:
Google confirmed to me that a charge would only be taken, when the device is shipped. (Which I think it should be. I dislike being charged before they can confirm stock) They also confirmed with me that my pre-authorisation charge had gone through with out any issues. My credit card company doesn't seem to show pre-authorisation charges, only actual charges.

I think it will be next Sunday before we see the status change from pending.
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
[MENTION=2746542]Stephen[/MENTION] That's great to hear. My pre auth showed on my bank account available balance when I put in my pre order which later dropped off. I have kept enough funds in my account to allow for the charge to be processed when the time comes. I'm not in any rush really to get the phone.
[Nexus 6P General] Stephen:
Ahh thinking about it that makes sense. Did you pay using a current account (debit card) or did you pay with a credit card? If I used my debit card, I would have seen the available balance drop. but because I used a credit card to pay., I didn't. But yes I can confirm 100% you will only be charged when device is shipped. I was worried about that as well!
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
I used a debit card. I guess there's no way of checking pre auth on credit cards unless it affects the available credit balance? Good to hear that your pre auth went through without a hitch. I had the fraud issue with my debit card but after I sorted that out with my bank the pre auth showed up on the available balance. Looking forward to my parcel coming, wherever that is.
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
Any one who ordered from EE,I have just spoken to them after a very confusing call with them yesterday where the person didn't sound sure what phone I was getting never mind when.Today was much better got a very helpfull person in retentions.I didn't provide her with any info on what I was expecting when,Instead gave her my details and asked her to confirm the pending order details for me.Just confirmed Nexus 6p in graphite ,will be dispatched on 26th and DPD will be the courier,I will get a text off them and it will be delivered on 27th,she said while they were still showing this model as pre order on the system,it also says stock goes live tomorrow.So looking ok for EE orders
[Nexus 6P General] riz157:
I just got a call from cpw confirming my details address what i had ordered etc. Didn't ask for card details but pretty much confirmed everything else. Did say will be getting it tomorrow and text to confirm today!
[Nexus 6P General] d60:
is it still available in the store or sold out ?:confused:
[Nexus 6P General] owz206:
When did you order mate
[Nexus 6P General] riz157:
Not sure if that question is addressed to me not but I ordered yesterday
[Nexus 6P General] nightmare911:
I get a different answer everytime i speak to someone at o2 haha.

One said it'll be late early November.

Second time i was told Soon.

third time i tried i was told it will be in stores on Monday or Tuesday.

I believe the third one could be true as i was told that by someone at the store
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
Still sold out on Google Store with waiting list option. You should join the waiting list so that you can get notified when stock is available.
[Nexus 6P General] doug143:
Fingers crossed they don't mess us about.
[Nexus 6P General] losimagic:
Not criticising or anything, just genuinely curious - why does the 6p need a screen protector, it's gorilla glass 4, isn't it?
[Nexus 6P General] chrisjcks:
Because Gorilla Glass scratches. [emoji16]
[Nexus 6P General] Malc1975:
I'll run a spigen screen protector when i get mine

Has anyone bought any of the cases from Google I like the look of them

Although again for he last few nexus I have used spigen cases
[Nexus 6P General] losimagic:
I thought the whole point of it was that it didn't get scratched, unless you attacked it with a diamond or something :(
[Nexus 6P General] Log[]:
Gorilla glass scratches like hell but holds up good against drops. Its a trade off every glass manufacturer has to make . So tempered glass is recommended for everyone !
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Thought it was the other way around, good against scratches etc
[Nexus 6P General] hutzdani:
what, do you even know what your talking about !

Gorilla glass is brittle and cracks easy if you hit the edges right or your phone has a rubbish frame.

however its quite scratch resistant, VS keys and things on the hardness scale that are lower than 7 ( this is what GG4 is rated at so go one lower lets say 6 for the sakes of issues ) they wont scratch it.

Yes gorilla glass 4 better for drops vs previous generations.

Its well documented across the net ;-D i have only ever scratched on gorilla glass 2 screen, i left my tablet face down on a towel and slid it when i picked it up and i guess sand or grit made the scratch.

Bit more fun in my local Carphone Warehouse today - "I'd like a nexus 6p please!" - "sure, let me go and get it" - *5 minutes later* - "here it is" - "that's not a 6p" - "yes it is, it says so on the box, Huawei p6" - "I want the 6p" - "yes, this is it" *banging my head on the wall* - eventually it was decided they don't have it, haven't heard of it, and don't know when they'll get it.

so I've just ordered a silver one from the website - it says for delivery tomorrow, but I doubt that'll happen - hopefully Tuesday. (I had to pick store delivery too as I'm not at home much this week, so I hope that doesn't slow the process down!)
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
I think (hope) we should get a lot more information this week from 3rd party retailers. Hopefully they'll find out what stock they're getting in and when.
[Nexus 6P General] usaff22:
They have dummy units on display at the CPW and CPW inside Curry's in Westfield London Stratford. Both stores said they didn't have any live units and the actual CPW store said they didn't even have any stock and weren't sure when they would be receiving stock.
[Nexus 6P General] owz206:
No confidence in CPW, cancelled last weeks order, they told me they'd issue a refund on Wednesday last week, called today to confirm refund, it still hadn't been done. Ordered the 6p yesterday, promised Monday delivery, now being told Tuesday or Wednesday, what a mess they are.
[Nexus 6P General] marcadam:
My experience is the exact opposite. I haven't needed a screen protector because it doesn't really scratch, but I've had two catastrophic drops where the gorilla glass has totally shattered from minor drops.
[Nexus 6P General] Stephen:
Had similar issues last year with the Nexus 6 and CPW, had to put in two complaints before I got the phone. That and the fact they are not doing the 64gb version, just made my mind up to stick with my Google Store one this year. All though, I could be tempted to pop into a store during the week on the way home and see if there are any available!!!!!
[Nexus 6P General] chistery:
I completely agree, but someone must be buying them.

UPDATE

CarphoneWarehouse will start selling Nexus 6P at 9am on Friday 2nd October but no pricing information available yet nor any idea what colours or memory they'll stock.

Very high likelihood is they only stock Graphite and Aluminium in 32gb and 64gb as is the case with Huawei's site in the US.

There will be an offer from CarphoneWarehouse for the first 5000 who will get a free Chromecast and Chromecast Audio with successful pre-orders of 6P as per tweet from CPW. Successful is determined by pre-auth on credit card/bank card and confirmation email which you'll get after placing pre-order.

NOTE that some people will have the fraud alerts at their respective banks which will block payments and result in a failed pre-order (i.e. no order placed) so you'll need to check with your bank if this happens. You might get a text alert which you can reply to to confirm the attempted payment was genuine. Once you've removed the block, ring CPW directly to get them to reprocess your order. You'll get an email from CPW if your order has failed but some might not so it's best to check with your bank first before contacting CPW. Don't process another order as your place in the pre-orders from the first order will be lost - this is more of an issue for the first 5000 and also allocation of stock which is done on first come first served basis. This is a internet only offer!

You won't get another email from CPW until your order is ready to be dispatched. The email is usually sent the day before delivery and will have tracking details. CPW will not contact you in between - that includes any delays that might happen. So check the estimated delivery (said to be end of October) and check here for others who will have ordered through CPW as well. You can get an idea of what's happening from other people.

DON'T BOTHER TO RING CPW TO QUERY YOUR ORDER AS ITS USELESS. THEY KNOW AS MUCH AS YOU DO AND IT'LL BE A COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME. THIS INCLUDES ONLINE CHAT

EE are supposed to start on 9th October and again there's no info on what they'll stock and what prices.

O2 will offer the 6P on refresh and will not have SIM free. Likely they will only stock 32GB. No date as yet but possibly on or after 9th October.

Giffgaff will start their orders early to mid November so not anytime soon. Not clear if they'll sell SIM free but definitely contract.

No info on Vodafone as yet.

Three are unlikely to stock either phone. Don't think they stocked Nexus 6 last year so don't hold your hopes up if you're with Three mobile.

Mobiles.co.uk are offering contract only - as they're basically CPW, they'll likely stock 32GB and 64GB but no specific details as yet.

[Nexus 6P General] MrPhilo:
Only reason i'll order from Google is there refund policy is pretty good, similar to Amazon (with Prime), since first batches tend to have problems and rectified in new revisions.

I've ordered a 64GB ver, I was about to order a 128GB, but I don't think I'll use that many space anyways to justify another £79.00
[Nexus 6P General] mezzyg:
Is that for sim free or contract deals? Any ideas. Thanks for the info.
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
I think it's for any order - didn't really say in the tweet from CPW but I would imagine it would be contract and sim free orders. Starts at 9am so make sure you're on the site on time. The site won't slow until about 5 mins in and then it's really slow.

Edit- I've just checked the Nexus 5X page and it seems it's only on contract. When SIM only is selected the offer goes away. Not sure if that will be the case for 6P but I'd work on the premise that it's contract only (new and upgrades). You can always try and if you get it then that's a bonus!

Is there any reason why people are avoiding the Frost version? After seeing a few hands on, I'm definitely considering it but can't make my mind up between that or the Aluminium version - it's actually the only thing stopping me from pre-ordering.
[Nexus 6P General] daleski75:
Cancelled my order with the google play store and went with carphonewarehouse (pre-order done delivery on 22nd Oct)

When I ordered a Nexus 5 from the google play store I changed my mind a short while later (wanted a different colour) and they could not cancel it as it had gone past this 1 hour window and I cannot find anywhere which states this 1 hour window applies to pre-orders or not so if I changed my mind I did not want the risk of not been able to cancel it.

The offer on the free chromecast audio is on contract only and not sim-only.
[Nexus 6P General] xdaman85:
Yeah mate, done the same thing. Google Store had expected delivery for 4th November, while CP has it for 22nd of October. Rather have the 6P this month than next month. :D
[Nexus 6P General] Stephen:
Hmm do I cancel my order for the aluminum 64gb and go for the aluminum 32gb from CS choices choices!!!!!!!
[Nexus 6P General] Stretlow:
Looks like its the same price on Carphone Warehouse unlike the 5x which is cheaper.

[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Hmmm , now the question of going with CPW... after last years delays and delays i'm just not sure. anyone else remember ?
[Nexus 6P General] Stretlow:
You only get the chromecast or audio cast on the pay monthly deals too.

No advantadge to going with them, was hoping for it to be a little cheaper
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Well i guess the only advantage is having a physical store to go into if you have issues etc, dammit, can't decide lol:confused:

I've also noticed on the Google store the estimates have gone from 4-5 to 3-4 weeks on the 32 models,
[Nexus 6P General] kevtrysmoddin:
Here's the link for the 6p from cpw

http://m.carphonewarehouse.com/mt/www.carphonewarehouse.com/phones/huawei-nexus-6p-32gb
[Nexus 6P General] Stephen:
I think I am going to stick with Google Store order. If CS had 64gb version I would have definitely changed. Just lack of free space on the 32gb for me. I assume you will have around 24gb usable space, if you want to keep a twrp backup on it, talking around another 4gb, if you build roms like I do, I tend to have a couple of test roms that I am flashing, zip file around 1gb, so 32gb becomes 19gb usable space. I personally think that is just a bight tight now a days!
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Oh sure that makes perfect sense. For me i've been fine with 32GB on my Nexus 6 so i don't think it'll be an issue here.

Its annoying i'm actually in America till the 22nd, so maybe its better for me to stay with the Gplay order and get it a few days later.
[Nexus 6P General] Log[]:
Of course Gorilla Glass is a mixture of Glass and other components like silicon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminosilicate. Gorilla glass is pretty flexible for a glass please visit their site and look videos about their tests. You cant achieve such a flexibility without sacrificing scratch resistance. Therefore you have to find a sweetspot. Gorilla glass is scratch resistand agains metall and knifes, but small sand paricles can scratch it easy.

Please educate yourself!
[Nexus 6P General] Jrad44:
Does anyone know if any shops other than Google itself are selling the 64gb and 128gb models? I would have bought 128gb as the price is no concern but was told that it would probably be December or even January before the Google store got more stock due to how positive the 6P reviews have been so I just went with a 32gb Carphone Warehouse one.
[Nexus 6P General] chubby65:
Handtec have all variations listed but no stock showing up as yet
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
Gorilla Glass 4 is still prone to shattering under the right circumstances. Check out drop tests on YouTube for phones that have GG4 like Note 4, S6, S6 Edge, Edge+, Note 5 - most Samsung released this year.

The extra protection of tempered glass is really for peace of mind on top of added protection.
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
I've always used Spigen cases. I think they're the best around imho but there are some who have near exact models like Verus.

I've ordered the Quartz case for the 6P as it looked pretty good and reviews that have shown it on the 6P have been good.
[Nexus 6P General] uktechguru:
Someone mentioned unlocked mobiles are selling the 64gb version.

[Nexus 6P General] chrisjcks:
Day 1 we'll see the yearly post of ...

"Only had it in pocket & its already got a small scratch, I thought it had Gorilla Glass 4?"

It happens every single year.

GG is scratch resistant but it's far from scratch proof.

I like a TGSP for peace of mind + that extra layer of protection & because it's glass, it still feels like a naked screen. :)
[Nexus 6P General] pro4ever:
placed order last night cpw just received an email stating

Dear customer,

Thanks for ordering from Carphone Warehouse.

Your order has been accepted and your item/s will be with you soon.

Your order has been successfully processed, but is currently on back-order. This means that your item is not currently in stock, but we are expecting it to come back into stock soon. When it does, it will be sent out to you.

ordered hoping will get it by Tuesday? or is that what you all received?
[Nexus 6P General] owz206:
What time did you order mate, I ordered at 20.15 and so far, have only had the order acknowledgement email. I ordered SIM free by the way.
[Nexus 6P General] losimagic:
what colour was that for?
[Nexus 6P General] pro4ever:
Placed order last night for silver 6p which says order dispatched on 26th oct on their site, and i just got this email
[Nexus 6P General] losimagic:
well that's very annoying :(

I placed my order this afternoon, expecting to get it this week based on what it says on the website

Guess I'll have to call them tomorrow and see what's going on
[Nexus 6P General] TonyHoyle:
My 2 year old nexus 5 and even my wife's old galaxy nexus have 0 scratches.. Normal things like keys won't scratch glass. Dropping it on concrete will break it, but, well, duh.

I guess if you work in an environment where there's lots of sand and grit that has a higher risk of scratching a phone. For me working in an office and not living near a beach I never encounter it so never needed anything to 'protect' the screen.
[Nexus 6P General] pro4ever:
i know m8 and i cancelled play store order for cpw :mad::mad:
[Nexus 6P General] pifsworld:
Been into cpw and they had the 6p up on there computer and it said silver 32gb available from the 26th black will be available from the 30th so if your after a 32gb silver then your in luck..
[Nexus 6P General] pro4ever:
Thats what most of us have done since yesterday but i got this email saying its back order when on their site it still says 26th october.
[Nexus 6P General] owz206:
I was told it wouldn't be delivered until Tuesday at the earliest , was told 26th was the dispatch date
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Perhaps the online stock is sold out on pre order? Shops stock is different to online, some of the actual shops will sell them sim free and have their own stock. I picked up the Nexus 5 in store on its day of release when all other online stick was sold out.
[Nexus 6P General] chrisjcks:
My Nexus 6P case has now gone Yellow.

Shipped!

(Also received the shipping email from Google too)

But....

the phone still Pending! LOL
[Nexus 6P General] pro4ever:
To the xda users who ordered yesterday cpw have you received your second email of confirmation?
[Nexus 6P General] owz206:
No, only the initial acknowledgement email

Cmon google get your arses into gear

I wouldn't have done that till I'd gotten one in my grubby mitts mate

Especially with cpw
[Nexus 6P General] chistery:
Just got my shipping confirmation.

.

.

For my case.
[Nexus 6P General] Spinstorm:
When I ordered my 6P I got an out of stock email last week and then a few days later I got a shipped email.

I wouldn't worry too much about the back order issue. I think you would still get it this week and it is not like you can order from Google anyway now (although like me I am sure they have had plenty of orders cancelled due to faster deliveries from CPW).

I would also keep an eye on your local stores; obviously that won't help if you can't afford to buy it in store before they refund you online but it is an option to consider.
[Nexus 6P General] luqythewise:
I ordered from CPW but they emailed today saying it was out of stock, called them up to ask when it will be back in stock but the staff said they had no date on a restock. The women told me it could be a few days or a few weeks, and it was up to me to wait or cancel so I cancelled and ordered a 64gb one from unlocked-mobiles.

Unlocked-mobiles claim a date of 29th October, whether that is when they expect to get or when they expect to deliver it by is anyone's guess.

I've joined the party so late that I don't expect to have it for at least a week or two and so I figure I might as well wait for 64gb version from unlocked-mobiles instead of trying to get one as quick as possible and regretting the lack of storage down the line since my current phone, (s6 edge) only has 15gb free out of the 64gb.
