This phone was announced nearly a month ago so why is it not available to whoever wants it right now? Why don't they just announce the nexus 7 and 8 while they are at it. I'm waiting for it on 3 in the UK, I hate to imagine when it will finally be available.
I'm sat here with a note 3 that is now off contract and starting to look at other phones as this is getting silly.
Baa humbug lol.

I shop like a man, i.e. I want something and go to a store and buy it, minimum time spent faffing around. I will wait until I can walk into a store and get one or something else will take my eye before this becomes available to the masses.
Just don't get this waiting and refreshing Web browsers hoping I win a lottery. The world has gone crazy IMHO.

I'm usaully the same way about buying things but because Verizon has yet to announce when they are selling it and I have to pay full retail anyway I pulled the trigger on the play store. I used a page monitor so my f5 key is intact.

So this new batch of phones started dropping at 9am PST? those that got a phone - can you post the time (and zone)?

I started getting notifications from Page Monitor right around 1:15 EST. The 32gb models came first, and then the 64gb (the one I wanted) followed after.

This was the same time frame as last week, so I was ready this time. And since I had the order page already open for the version I wanted, and my info with Google was all up to date, I was able to refresh, click the add to cart, and then order button, right away as soon as Page Monitor dinged on the model/color I wanted.

I'm not sure how often the phones came in and out of stock today, but it seems to start around the same time each week, so if you can get set up in advance, with a bit of luck there's a good chance you'll be able to get one.

For those that ordered today, does it say "Leaves warehouse on 11/21" like it does for those of us who "pre-ordered" on 10/29? This entire "launch" has been a fiasco.


Mine doesn't give a date. It just said "leaving the warehouse in 2 to 3 weeks".

The white one says leaves 11/21. The blue says leaves 11/26

Weird, so somehow they were able to get "more" that could leave on 11/21, yet did not have enough last Wednesday? And they're already pushing the date for some of them?

Sounds to me like 11/21 will be the actual ship date then. Oh well, was hoping for sooner. People will be able to buy them a solid 2 weeks before most of us who "pre-ordered" get ours. So odd. That said, the play store is bar none for support/etc so I'm still happy I pre-ordered vs. buying in-store.

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaa


just like last week, the 64gb blue showed up at 1015 pacific. i was here at a workstation clicking f5 like a silly fool...:rolleyes:

i was only interested in the black 64 so boom i hit add to cart... it would get to cart, i would click checkout then poof.. gone..


this happened about 10 ish times within a 15 minute time frame. :rolleyes:

i got the unexpected error as well, most likely because the phone was spoken for by the time it got into my cart.

it was quiet for a few minutes... then the 64gb popped back up.

just like how you feel when you swat a fly with a fly swatter thats been buggin you all day...i was like " HA i got you sucker!"

went to check out... 780.90. CA tax is a bish...

after a "pending" email.. a robot call to make sure my purchase was not fraud, AND a chat with two cats from goog, i finally got this thing locked in!

both chat reps ( a regular low level one and a google wallet rep) both said they have all had back to back calls about this nex 6. they were ready for them too.

never have i been through so much drama over a phone and i hope this is the last. :eek:

wow,,, this was fun...... feels like i just had a romantic encounter with a woman and its time for the cigar,,,, :smokingsomb::car:

At this point I'm thinking this is all intentional. They want it to go through carriers this time around. The more hoops people have to jump through the more likely they are to just buy in person or at least through carrier online options. Maybe this signals a fundamental shift by Google to get out of the direct hardware business. Maybe they are sick of dealing with shipments and returns and complaints.
