Google Nexus 6 by Motorola (Was "Nexus X talk leaked?")

I'm pretty sure I want the 64 GB version. I'm glad to hear your impressions of the 2014 Moto X were so favorable. I'm just a little hesitant to order on the 29th as I would like to see how it goes for the early adopters. :)

 

Is anyone going to place their order on the 29th?

I think I'm going to wait about two weeks until users here and on YouTube give their thoughts on battery life and reception

If you wait, you may get stuck weeks behind the backlog of initial orders.  So, some of us will probably place our orders immediately upon opening this week.  And as a safety net, Google Play has a return policy.

OK, You are correct: "Engineering Screens" and the 29th it is...  :)

You guys are making me want to buy mine on the 29th with my credit card and sell some of my other devices to pay my balance down ???? at the moment I really need easy pay though.

Luckily, my credit cards are all balance free.  Time to help out the economy!  Go for it!

Does that make you Amy Grant?

I don't think I've ever seen a device with bad numbers be a good performer. But I've seen midrange EIRP numbers be good performers. Like the Sprint Note 2. And I've seen good numbers be bad or just fair performers.

 

But anything with sub 16 EIRP numbers, in my experience, has been bad. Like the Verizon Note 3. It's LTE RF performance was awful. Probably the worst Verizon LTE device ever. My boss threw his across the room and destroyed it because he got so frustrated with it.

That's frightening. I hope it wasn't in your direction lol.

Anyone know the RF performance for the nexus 6? Is it better than the iPhone?

iPhone 6/6+

 

Band 25

5 MHz FDD channels: max EIRP 23.18dBm

Band 26

5 MHz FDD channels: max ERP 19.00dBm

Band 41 (Spark)

20 MHz TDD channels: max EIRP 31.86dBm

 

Nexus 6:

 

Band 2:  good performance (~25 dBm)

Band 4:  excellent performance (~26 dBm)

Band 5:  good performance (~19 dBm)

Band 12:  excellent performance (~21 dBm)

Band 13:  excellent performance (~22 dBm)

Band 17:  good performance (~20 dBm)

Band 25:  good performance (~25 dBm)

Band 26:  good performance (~19 dBm)

Band 41:  good performance (~25 dBm)

And, somewhat ironically, which domestic operator seems to come out the winner in the Nexus 6 LTE RF sweepstakes?

Looks more like T-Mobile or Verizon, with Band 4 (AWS) and Band 12 / Band 13 (700ac) looking "excellent" while most of the others are all "good"

 

(I don't think the bands are ranked "in place" -- I think they're just sorted numerically)

I'll be ordering on the 29th.  I hope I get lucky like last year and get one of the first batches.

Yeah, me as well.  Now I have to decide which debt free credit card I want to melt down by putting $700 on it.  Geez...

Just grab some tongs, hold all of your cards above your lit Bunsen burner, and you will incur no further debt.

 

:P

sorry (haven't read the last 20 pages)

 

but what have yall been guessing as the Sprint on contract price? $200? $250?

 

Last time i got my N5 for -$5, so I'm trying to ballpark how much the N6 might cost if i buy. 

 

"Y'all" should expect to pay eleventy billion dollars.

I'll look at it this way; it will make me appreciate my job even more. Ah, the price of new toys.

So I just read that the N6 has the double tap to wake feature that I absolutely loved from my old G2. 

 

Edit:  Yeah, I know you can get it on the N5 with custom ROMs etc, but it never worked as fluidly as the G2.  Native support for it on a Nexus sounds great.

 

Man...  All this device has to offer, CCA capable, and stock Android.  And the great new features for SignalCheck Pro...  Going to be hard to not pick this device up and ditch my iPhone 6.

 

Just that screen size...  I am going to have to wait and hold one at a store before pulling the trigger.  If I end up deciding to get one, maybe I'll have it around Christmas ha.

Your iPhone 6 should come close to covering the cost.  :tu:

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
