I have been checking on my play store order from time to time and now on the screen that used to say 2-3 weeks now says BY Nov 21st. The other screen still says ON Nov 21st but it does give me hope that it will ship before then.

Yeah... Since it is no longer 2-3 weeks to Nov 21, it makes sense to change that verbiage. I did notice the "by" and "on" difference, and am hoping that they mean "by" :)

What day is launch day for Tmo? I really wanna hold one of these behemoths and see just how big it is and how she looks...list shows there will be demos in my area, well demos but no units at launch (whenever that is)...

The 12th is the official launch, but stock will be limited

IS that JUST on T-Mobile (and just the stores on the list?) or is that the official official launch date? Will other carriers have it on the 12th?
Click to expand...

So far just T-Mobile. Just stores on list. Official for T-Mobile. And T-Mobile Jump customers get priority. No other carrier have said anything.
 
I'm going to go ahead and make the assumption that you will not be able to buy the N6 at T-mobile on Wednesday, paying the full non-contract price, unless you have a T-mobile account. (Previous experience)

I will give it a shot on Wednesday, there's a T-Mobile (on the list) just up the street from work. If nothing else I will get to check it out and see if I want a phone that big. It looks like if I wait and go through AT&T they are offering the $50 off the Moto360 with bundle purchase with the N6 or Moto X.

We'll see what happens. :smokingsomb:

Precisely!

It's my understanding that to insure excellent build quality, a large portion of the phone is hand made. While not quite as fast as a fully automated assembly line, quality takes precedent.

As a result, Google expects Motorola to have no fewer than 14 phones ready. A record breaking number by anyone's account... :eek:





(Once sane, the launch debacles of the OnePlus One and Moto Nexus 6 have taken a toll on me... Heh!)

I hope that's the truth! They won't have any stock to deal with RMAs for hardware defects....
 
I resend my previous statement, it seems there will be a demo unit but no retail units here in the Midwest. I'll still check it out, but obviously won't be able to buy it.

Awesome. :rolleyes:

Well in my area (MS) there will be demos but no units, so i can just go check out the phone (im hoping for functional demos and not dummy units) and let ppl buy them and see how this 'universal' carrier phone is gonna work out, if it works out at all...

This is nuts. It shouldn't be so hard to buy a damn cell phone.

I agree. I already went thru the Moto360 fiasco. However, I did get one the day after release by taking a chance and driving almost 3 hours away to get it.

It becomes harder and harder to do business in this world. It's not just phones, or even goods in general. I find the older I get the harder it is to find people that are willing to earn or work for my business. Instead quite the opposite, they expect the consumer to do all the leg work and be "THRILLED" to have their product or service.

All that said, we are all terribly impatient. By Christmas these will be all over the place, at the carriers, Best Buy, Play store, Motorola dot com, etc. we all know this, we just want it yesterday. :D

Not only has it been difficult to get the phone, there's also still not a lot of information on whether it'll work on Verizon out of the box (it's working for the preview units, but Verizon could still block it at release time), when carriers other than T-Mobile will get it, etc.

There's really quite a lot we don't know, and I only hope to get a little more info once the embargo lifts, which is this week, IIRC.

I believe the embargo lifts Wednesday.

Agreed, many people (myself included) took a $700 risk that I bought something that either won't work or may stop working randomly due to Verizon and Google being hush-hush. I still think I have grounds for a lawsuit to force them to take a return after 14 days even if it's 3 months from now that Verizon up and decides they don't want the N6 on their network.

I completely agree. We are impatient. But that impatience is fueled by the way phones are rolled out these day. I remember back in the day you didn't hear much about a phone until you could walk into store and buy it. That was b4 Google knew everything.
 
Wow, finally got a chance to look at the T-Mobile store list, and it doesn't appear that a single Update NY store will have units in store to purchase when it launches. :(

I would prefer to stick with Verizon, simply because AT&T (the only other carrier in my area with any real service) still has a lot of missing LTE coverage in my region; there's still quite a bit of it that tops out at HSPA+.

That being said, I already bought the phone, and if it comes down to it I'll give up my unlimited data plan and switch carriers. I've been wanting a Nexus phone for a while now, and it being on Verizon was just a nice bonus, but I was already prepared to have to move so it wouldn't be the end of the world for me.
 
At&t is starting pre-orders tomorrow. I think might get in on that action. Should go at smoother than Google or Moto.
