I agree that's a great phone.

androiduser911 · Oct 15, 2014

Yes,day 1 buyer. A beast of a phone!

zipred · Oct 15, 2014

I've had quite a few phones, this is by far the most exciting phone in a long time. Configuration is ideal for me.

jaj324 · Oct 15, 2014

Buying it, buying it, buying it!!!!

trophynuts · Oct 15, 2014

not at that price and not at that massive shoe box screen size.

Hook · Oct 15, 2014

To be clear, if I had $650 I could afford to be frivolous with, I would be at the head of the line. I don't and there is nothing wrong with my Nexus 5.

iowabowtech · Oct 15, 2014

Guess I hadn't been following this Nexus release as closely as past ones. So yeah with a 6" screen in play, I'm out. Well that was easy. Saved me having to overthink this for the next few weeks like I usually do.

Although I've had my Nexus 5 since the day after they were released... True.. I ordered FedEx overnight, and used it very heavily, this is one very impressive phone.

It's the only smartphone I've had for a year and continue to appreciate it more each day. In fact it's a keeper, there's no way I'm selling this exemplary phone.

My Nexus 6 will be a great companion phone.

As a Verizon customer, yes, buying even though I'm not thrilled about the size.

The price is justified for a more premium experience. People want their cake and to eat it, too. But this is device with premium specs and looks to have premium build quality as well. I wouldn't be surprised if this was originally intended as an "Android Silver" device, though that's all conjecture.

But to review (at least from a Verizon customer perspective relative the the gnex experience):

- higher price should hopefully also mean better build quality
- the gnex radio/antenna design was trash. moto excels at radios and reception (woot!)
- updates: there's only one US version so no gnex rigmarole on updates
- unlocked device I can play with and root/ROM/etc on Verizon without hacks like Loki/etc, yes!

Just happy to have a VZW Nexus that (for all appearances) will be a REAL nexus this time around. Not happy with the size, but even with my small-to-medium sized hands, I expect I'll get used to it.

ecy5maa · Oct 16, 2014

Will definitely buy it. But probably not on launch date like I did with the nexus 5 from the play store, so maybe somewhere around March next year from a retailer when the prices have dropped a bit.

kate · Oct 16, 2014

From what I've read that was a mistake, not a leak, the picture was a LG G3 Vigor, and AT&T currently sells the Vigor for $49. Also $600 off for a new phone is pretty high for a contract discount, I'd guess $199 with a two year contract, but $49 would be nice

UPDATE - AT&T has the Nexus 6 for $249.99 with a two year contract or $682.99 without a contract. Or with AT&T Next it's $22.77 for 24 months.

halon · Oct 16, 2014

After saying Verizon will get a nexus again the past 2 years and everyone laughing at me.... Today was a great day!

I'm getting it. However, that Z3v has me interested. I am a Sony fanboy.... 4k TV, PS4, 3D bluray player.

dalegg · Oct 16, 2014

I have a Samsung Note 3 and I love everything about the phone except the radios. I live in an area where Verizon has lousy coverage and I have a lot of break up phone audio and dropped calls. I have had two Motorola phones previously and never had any of those problems with those phones. Verizon said I should spend $175 on their network extender because they had no intention of installing any more cell towers in my area. So, I bought the network extender and it seemed to improved it some but not enough to be reliable.
I love the replaceable battery on the Note 3 but I will give it up to have a Motorola phone again with decent radios.

zipred · Oct 16, 2014

Motorola does have exceptional radio performance. I have no issues with any of my current phones, but knowing my upcoming Nexus 6 will be a Motorola product is a great feeling.

Yep, I'm cautiously optimistic

My S4 in the same house as a friend with a Razr was night and day. He had faster speeds, better signal, and less battery drain (marginal area at the time prior to a tower being lit up).

mikedt · Oct 16, 2014

I think the price is OK for what you're getting. It's half the price of an iPhone 6+, for more smart-phone. I assume that is an unsubsidised price, because do pay similar amounts for other high-specced flagship devices, like Samsungs.

It will not be $199. $49 is the correct price for a 649 phone.

It is not 1/2 the price of an iPhone 6+, it is $100 less than the 16gb iPhone 6+.

That's in the US though isn't it? Academic for me really, because I can't actually buy a Nexus here, with Google being illegal and banned.

no it isn't, the off contract price is not directly related t on contract prices, lg g3is $579 @ att but $199 on contract just as an example

Rxpert83 · Oct 16, 2014

The ATT website "snafu" was just placeholder images and information. I do not forsee this going for $50 on contract. I would expect the typical $200

mrdeucie · Oct 16, 2014

I would have considered it if it was smaller, but not thrilled about the size.

Yeah, it's pretty large. I'm surprised they didn't also have the rumored 5.2 inch version due to it's phablet size footprint.

Definitely not a fan of the largeness, but I went to best buy today to hold a Galaxy Note 4 to see if it'd be a deal breaker for me.

To get a Nexus (for real this time, not like the gnex) on Verizon with unlimited data and the best speeds/coverage in my town? I will totally get used to the size for all the upside.

I went to one of the two stores I have in town today figuring I would get a lot of I don't knows. Neither is a Verizon corp store. But I had one of the people tell me that Nexus devices aren't asked for or rated highly by our customers. Needless to say I gave her a nice history lesson. That the only reason would be because of the debacle that the gnex was. Don't think she liked me very much after that. But I won't be shopping there after it either.

As a Verizon customer I am so happy to see a Nexus device that only has 2 versions. World and NA.
