Nexus 6 speculation

Very disappointing. I kept refreshing the page hoping it would show up. The 64GB didn't even show up at all.
Another botched pre order for the Goog
Over at XDA...there was some that found a trick. They said they added the N6 to their wishlist. Then added it to their cart and was able to get one even though it said out of stock. Weird.....
Yeah, I'm a little disappointed about that ship date. I'm not going to complain though, I at least got in, lots of people over at the AC forums angry about missing out.
Yeah, that first quarter was a monster quarter. Just wish that Kobe was still the same of old. Would have made the victory that much sweeter.
honestly if you take out the slam at the begining nexus phones are not that common. YOu have the nerds who go after them hard and fast but after that they do not keep the high demand. It never a blip because outside of the nerd group people just do not go after nexus phones. Big time when about the only way to really get them is off contract. Plus they lack the sell incentives that like the Samsung phones have nor do they get the same advertisement. Most people on the street would not know what the Nexus 6 is but every one of them knows about the Note 4.
Looking more and more beautiful with every vid I see tbh, a bunch of hands on-vids are out in the last few hours:

T-mobile said Nov. 12. They really must have only had a few (literally) on the playstore for preorder. I'm thinking the carriers are going to get most of the supply.
I wonder if the carrier phones are branded. If not I may just get one from t-mobile (along with every other person wanting one, lol). AT&T has bumpkiss on the Nexus 6...
Not sure why this year is so much worse than last year. Though I am reading online that it is possible that 5.0 wasn't done until recently, and that the device just passed FCC certification... So maybe they should have waited till the 3rd to allow preorders...
I'm guessing it's likely due to this^. To get the carriers on board, they probably need to direct most of their inventory there, otherwise, what's the point?
On a slightly related note, I stopped into my local AT&T store for something else and while waiting finally saw the Moto X in person. I really liked the improvement in materials over last year's model. The screen seemed pretty nice, it felt great in hand, not too big. Of course after using a 6+ for a month, everything feels smaller by comparison.
If the Nexus has the same build quality/materials as the X, it's going to be a great device, even as big as it is. Really looking forward to seeing one in person.
seems to make sense only the hard core people even will buy them off contract.
Wow. The Nexus 6 is pretty great. Seems better than the iPhone 6 Plus, but let's see what the in-depth reviews say.
