Someone on reddit, who works for AT&T, said orders placed by 3pm tomorrow would be delivered by 11/20.

Damn... I doubt I'll wait that long. Might have to start looking at other options.



Yeah, unless you're okay with ordering online tonight you're going to be waiting quite awhile. Supplies are beyond limited.

Or you can risk going to your local store and hope you get there early enough to get one in store, some T-Mobile stores said there only getting 3 total, and AT&T in store is just as limited so you'd probably have to get your arse down there before they open and wait in line to get one.

Maybe if I go to Denham Springs nobody will give a shite about the Nexus at that location.

Just make sure it's a big enough location to even get any shipments first round.

Only 1,800 T-Mobile stores did, had to be a bigger store.

Any word on if Verizon is going to carry them or not? I have narrowed it down to the note 4 or nexus.

Yes, but no word on when. Probably trying to sell some Turbos first.

Well hell with that. Guess I will try and find a deal on a note 4 during the black Friday fiasco.

Preordered through AT&T! Ships on or before the 18th.

Midnight blue 32GB. Will swap for a white one when they get them.

1GB of data on AT&T, plan = $60.

Straight talk 4GB of data = $45.

Oh wells.

Just preordered mine. Still has a ship date of on or before the 18th. Hope that's true. Couldn't get any ATT stores on the phone to find out if it's in stock.

I was worried that preordering it online would mean AT&T sneakily tries to get rid of my unlimited data, but the option was still there. Nice to know they aren't being asses about that.

from Engadget LINK

quote:

Of course, that combo may be great for gaming, but it's normally a death sentence for your beloved battery life. The N6's 3,220mAh cell is identical in size to the Note 4, but the Nexus is burdened with far greater expectations; it comes with stock Android (read: no TouchWiz) and makes use of Project Volta, Google's new effort to make Android more power efficient.

But Project Volta needs some work. The Nexus 6 doesn't have terrible battery life, but it's definitely not as good as many similarly sized phones. I used the device extensively at Engadget Expand last weekend, and I was lucky if the phone got more than 13 or 14 hours. A battery of that size and supposed power efficiency should still have juice left over after a full day of heavy use, and the 6 just wasn't up to the task. Most days, I could only get around four hours of screen-on time. As you'd expect, moderate to light usage will get you through two days, but it's much more likely that you'll be taking advantage of the large screen for both normal smartphone use and tablet-like consumption as well, and it needs to get through a full day at minimum with that kind of use.

Looked at preordering through at&t for just the phone but will cost me $747 Also it wont let me checkout without picking a plan which im not doing cause im with Verizon and have been for years, so switching isn't an option.

There has never been a day in my life that I didn't plug in my phone to charge. If it gets me through the day, it'll be several cuts above my iPhone 4s.

I'm with you. I don't think I've ever gotten much above 3 hours SOT with my Nexus 4, and that would be all on wifi. It would be nice to get a full day, but charging isn't really a big deal...especially with a couple of Qi chargers.

I'm moving off of Straight Talk, too. I just couldn't bring myself to drop $1500 at one time for phones for my wife and myself.

I charge my phone at night regardless if it's at 60% or 10%.

When similar phones are posting better battery life it is an issue. My LG G2 gets at least 5 hours of SOT and that's with shitty coverage from Sprint all the time.

Was going to pre-order through AT&T via 2-year contract upgrade until I saw it was going for $249. After including the $40 upgrade fee and taxes, the phone is going to end up being $300+ WITH a 2-year agreement. No thanks.

Decided I'm going to pre-order the OnePlus One on Monday morning--am going to sit at my computer and hit refresh until that page loads at the exact time pre-orders open. I've heard good things and the price point for the specs is unmatchable.
