I got to play with the blue, I can't speak to the white. I can say the blue felt good in hand, if you have played with the Moto X (2014) it's the same feel as the black soft touch back. It did not feel in the slightest bit "slick" or unruly. I had good control of the phone with one hand and was able to text one handed, go through the app drawer, go to Google now. All that was fine. It did (as some reviews have mentioned) pick up finger prints pretty bad.

Thanks for the info! I went with the blue as well, so it's good to know it's not too slick in the hand. I'm hoping it's something similar to the Nexus 7 2013 back cover, which is a matte plastic that feels, to me, very nice in the hand.

I still went ahead and ordered a Cruzerlite case for mine. Not sure if I really want a case or not, but I figure for under $10 it's not a lot to invest in case I end up preferring to use it naked.

Placed an order for a 64GB Blue device on T-Mobile site tonight (painfully), will update when shipping info is supplied. I selected standard vs expedited as I live in downtown Chicago and my experience is that there's little difference in ship times for most things.


So I placed an order this morning on T-Mobile for a 64GB blue device. Amazing amount of hoops to have to jump through - I'm a current Nexus 4 user with a T-Mo $30 prepay account - but finally was able to arrive at a checkout screen. Still shows me as signing up for a $50 plan but don't think that will be a problem, just waiting on shipping info.

Are most of the people getting shipping notices ones for the 32gb model? I haven't noticed any of the 64gb models going out yet.

Spoke too soon. Got a shipping confirmation email from Google last night letting me know that my 64gb blue model is on its way to me!

Only went for standard shipping, but checking UPS tracking this morning, expected delivery is Thursday! :)

Are you waiting on a White 64GB?

I just noticed it is being picked up from the F1 Bioengineering Building in Shenzhen. Bioengineering.... WHAT KIND OF PHONE IS THIS?!

You got a TRUE Android Cyborg ;)

I've still got no update on my White 64GB from GPS - still says "ships by 21st" - waiting (im)patiently, watching enviously

Guess what arrived a day earlier than expected.

Sounds like today is going to be D-Day for many people. "Delivery Day":D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I thought I'd be able to unbox the Note 4 and the Nexus 6 side by side. Theoretically, I can still do that. Theoretically. But realistically, there is no way that I can wait 24 hours to open the Nexus 6 box and begin using it.
