I wish the screen was better in the outside day light...... At the price they are charging I would expect to be able to see it in daylight. Pro's Screen size Dual speakers Lollipop Updates Rural carrier surfing Decent battery/ Better/OK battery Wireless charging Qwik charging Con's Camera not top notch for price 270 nits dim outside brightness Price way high for screen performance

I was inquiring abut the Nexus 6 Launch at a Sprint Corporate store and I was told that the Note edge launches the same day.....go Sprint!

The verge has it in their post.http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/11/7193423/how-to-buy-a-nexus-6-from-us-carriers-starting-november-12

So who is going to Tmobile to buy off Contract for $649.00 and use it on Sprint's network.LMAO

I think buying it on the 60.00 unlimited plan is a contract plan and you pay 30.00 monthly for the phone.....yes

damn that's sweet.....way to go I have been there but I have not been that lucky. Maybe it will ship fast like the Nexus 5 did.

Isn't it true that Nexus 5 phones bought on Tmobile won't work on Sprint?

It seems like the Nexus 6 will only be back on the GPlay store site after carrier's launch it. This may or may not diminish the reason to buy a Nexus device. Carriers add their own software spin, and it may not be able to be used on other carriers. I like having the Nexus 5 because of fast updates, and the fact that I have a Tmobile Sim should I ever want to use it, or even an AT&T Sims which would never happen, but I at least had those options. Will a play store Nexus be able to be used on all Us carriers including Verizon, and would a carrier Nexus 6 be locked to carriers as when launched back in the old Galaxy Nexus lines? I believe that the success of G Play activation's by carrier subscribers made the carriers pressure Google to raise the price, because the Play store sold 32gig Nexus 5 for the price that the carriers sold 16 gb versions, and they now want to get a piece of the pie.

I already have ordered this case since I have one on my Nexus 5 that has protected me from drops, and is super slim for factor with a belt clip that adds extra protection from drops as well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OGXQ3LC/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A209HAH4Z0MGU9

This is why I did not buy the Note 3. I bought the Nexus 5, and just today I got 27mb down load in the Bx where my friend on his note could only muster 5-6mb. Note 4 or Nexus 6 will be a better performer. Nexus 6 will have roaming on rural carrier capability, where as Note 4 will not. I hear the Note edge will have LTE A 300mb capable speed performance...truly future proof as it gets for today.

Well I had a great day today....I woke up at 12am looking for a Nexus 6, and I checked at 5am on my way to work, and I checked all day to find that they were sold out all day....that was some damn sale.....rofl. I guess I will get rid of the N5, and wait this out until something shows up. Last year I had my N5 by November 5th.

I went to Sprint today, and I played with the Note 4, and the iPhone 6, and 6+. The better looking phone is the Note 4 when you compare it to the iPhone 6+ in my opinion. There was no lag in the Note 4 the unit looked clean and the screen was fabulous. Although it had an aluminum side I think that the aluminum is a step in the right direction, but could have been better designed. The Note 4 compared to my Nexus 5 is just a few millimeters wider, and mostly longer. The screen may just be one of the most vibrant on the market. Touchwiz was smooth, and fluid and I tried hard to find lag, but I found none at all. Touchwiz for the Note is loaded with features that you either love or hate, but the stylus will always set the Note above all other Phablets in my opinion. "If" the Nexus 6 is just a bit taller than the Note 4 so be it since after holding the iPhone 6+ was more taller than it was wide the Nexus 6 will be a worthy competitor to the iPhone 6+. I think that pure Android, and rural roaming will keep me satisfied for the next two years no doubt! If it doesn't it won't be because the I have to upgrade to receive the new rural partner signal! If the Nexus 6 were the size of the Note for it would be a bit more appealing, but remember the dual speakers and you can see the possible need to have a larger form factor to handle a larger screen and speakers. That said I think that I will enjoy watching Netflix when I take long trips, or just browse the web with the Nexus 6.

I PLAYED WITH THE NOTE 4 TODAY AND i PLAYED WITH THE iPhone 6, AND 6+. The Note 4 does have a drop down menu for WiFi calling. I did a comparison to my Nexus 5 screen size and the Note 4 is just an awesome phone. In its own rights the iPhone was fine and when you looked at the back case it looked better than the front in my opinion only. The top and bottom bezels of the 6+ did not make it look so appealing in my opinion. I still tip my hat to the one that started this whole genre of touch screen phones! Don't get me wrong the iPhone is carved out nicely, but I guess after having Android for so long I just could not figure it out. I mean once I got to the home screen there really is no home screen....just a crap load of apps. I have heard the word intuitive, but all I could think was boring and mindless..."it just works"! I then went back to play with the note 4, and I fell in love with what really made me want a Note, the screen size, and a tablet all in one practical "pocketable" unit that I can enjoy Netflix, making calls, and reading articles on thew web! Touchwiz seemed fluid and chocked with features either you love or hate, but their was no lag. The Note 4 is the king of Phablet's period, and you really have to be a techie to appreciate it, big hands or not. I hate to say this to you guys boasting it is too big for your hands, because I see women rocking the Note, as well as my Niece who graduated from the iPhone 4 to the Note and swears to never go back. I understand that you may not want a larger phone but please stop saying that it is because I have small hands when I see woman with smaller hands manning up to rock one.lol I played with the G3 that was nice, but way too laggy it could be just me but it was very laggy. Long live the king of phablets, and I just wonder how that Note edge looks and functions.

That's correct so make sure you address this thought when you purchase your next daily driver. This makes the Nexus a bit more desirable than the note. I need to have service capabilities where ever I go so having the roaming without having to buy another phone in a year if I don't have to appeals to me.

Lol...Hate Touch Wiz huh....I had HTC and loved sense then I went GS3, and was not fond of Touch Wiz. but as updates rolled out I began to like it. I owned the Moto Photon, and liked the GS3 over it. I wanted a Note but the Note 3 did not offer Spark so I went Nexus 5 when I cracked the screen of my GS3. The Note 4 was on my radar all year long, as well as the Note Edge until this showed up. No matter what the Note is the king of phablet, but since it does not have roaming on the rural carriers I would have to buy another phone sooner than later. The Moto addresses the screen size and roaming but in the suite department , and camera department merely shows up as a phablet, but it has dual speakers, and fast updates from Google. If the Note had roaming for the rural carriers built in I would probably get it since the Nexus is priced so high, with less front and rear camera, and true software to take advantage of the screen size as the note and it's sty;us pen does.

LOL....I never implied that the Nexus 5 lost those features now did I. Since My daily driver is a Nexus 5 I would know this 1st hand. I was making a list of why it is a good phone to buy as an upgrade from a Nexus 5 and listing why I would buy it in comparison to the Note 4. I originally wanted the Note 4 all year I waited for it's launch until this came out. The higher price makes me really inspect why I should buy this instead of a Note 4. My main reason for wanting a Note 4 was screen size, and soft ware suite. The Note is more than just a big screen...that is my reason for looking solely at it. This phone comes out and complicates things, and with a higher price at 1st glance the Note starts to look more appealing until you really dissect what the Nexus 6 is offering.

With the roaming base bands included, and screen size this slips ever so close to the Note. Pure Google, and upgrades straight from Google makes this a worthy upgrade from the Nexus 5 in may ways, 1. roaming capable 2. great screen size 3. battery life 4. 15 minute turbo charging 5. Pure Android....future software upgrades, 1st bug fix upgrades 6. built in wireless charging 7. dual speakers that won't sound tiny I hope 8. great dual flash 9. 3 gigs of memory 9. plenty of storage 10. Motorola's exceptional antenna signal strength 11. splash resistance Cons not 64 bit 13 mp camera 2x as much as the 16gig Nexus 5 for the 32Gig Version All in all not a bad phone too bad none of the Moto X software suite is not offered in addition to make this phablet really stand out.

With Volte it will all be data and your plan is unlimited data for 10.00. Why give it up. read the small print of your contract before giving this up.

"Not to continue to beat a dead horse, but I too have a couple of issues here. According to the shareholder theory of business the goal of a publicly traded company is to maximize value for all shareholders. The vast majority of the time what is beneficial for what you call "premium" shareholders is proportionally beneficial to any shareholder based on their ownership stake. If a company is more profitable, raises a dividend, etc every shareholder benefits; some just more so than others due to how many shares they own." After selling products for major corporations for 25 years, and in sales over 30 years I can tell you that to maximize profit they screw the consumer. They start out doing reputable things, but in the end they always try to make money by screwing unsuspecting buyers. When sales slow on a product they cut the size and charge more to maximize profits, and as a consumer you must have noticed this. One of the largest paper cup MFG let's just call it "XYZ" sells paper cups but sells to Mc Ronalds. To help Mc Ronalds make more money and to boost sales it sells cups that are 12oz. Mc Ronalds use to sell say 13oz cups with a dotted line that is filled with fluid up to the dotted line and with ice it is less than 12 oz. Now the 12 oz cups with ice is less than the 12 oz that the unsuspecting consumer buys even though it is labeled 12 with ice its like 8 ounces. Ice maker MFG make ice to nest in a cup that displace more liquid. Now the consumer pays for 12 ounces gets 8 ounces or less for a glass of coke that only cost 5-6 cents for every 12 ounces. Give more ice and less fluid and maximize that 2.00 cup. All you can eat places give you all you can drink to fill you up because 12 ounces for .06 cents fills you up and any one can give you unlimited drinks for 2.00 when each cup cost .06. Dell made quality machines but to maximize profits and satisfy stock holder value stopped using quality parts, and started using inferior parts to maximize share holder value now look at them. They are going private because you don't have to answer to board members and major stock holders when selling their product. When Google took a write down on R&D many people were not happy and the stock fell, but Google did what was right for the company and the stock rather than to listen to people that cry like a Carl Ichan....this is rare, ans is how it is supposed to happen as you so eloquently put it! Sprint did the same in the late 1990's they came on like a gang buster but forgot to invest in infrastructure now they are scrambling to change for the better. Contacts by cellular companies change mostly to maximize share holder value and Verizon said this to the shareholders in one of the shareholder meetings. Their goal was "to get unlimited legacy users converted to tiered contracts by 2015 before VOlte is implemented for obvious reasons!" Don't think for a second that big bonus is not on the minds of anyone that is in sales and in fact that is what drives many of the sales at most corporations! That drive usually conflicts with the "the shareholder theory of business the goal of a publicly traded company is to maximize value for all shareholders." Toilet tissue used to be 4x4.5 squares now they are 3.75x3.75 and shrinking. As MFG start cheating consumers by nickle and diming the consumer to maximize profit and make larger bonus they forget that the consumer usually fights back by looking for another brand. The drive for any company on the stock market is to return values to investors and usually the preferred investor is always 1st in mind period. The drive to earn big bonus, and return value to stock holders go hand in hand but after a certain point the consumer usually gets the shaft in the end.

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I don't fail to realize that a company strives to make a profit. In fact I started off by saying that I am not against a company making a profit. You fail to realized how the world works especially when it comes to stock, products and sales. I have been in sales for over 30 years, and completely understand what it means to be profitable. I have made million dollar contracts, and can tell you all about profit margin and the bottom line. You can't make examples of anything until you truly understand the relationship between preferred stock holders, CEO compensation, bonus, profit margin, demand. You don't have a clue and if you did you would understand what I am saying. I bet a stock analyst would agree whole heartedly with my comment. You asked why do privately held companies make more money, but try to prove a point with out the knowledge of why this is. Privately held companies make more money because they don't have to answer to preferred stock holders. When public held companies trade preferred stock holders like Carl Ichan try to dictate how and what a company should do. In order to satisfy those people companies like Dell bastardized a very good product in the name of bonus and sales. As dell began to trade openly the need for more money to satisfy the stock holders, and to increase stock value, and profit margins arose so they started selling inferior products under their good name until the consume decided not to buy their product line any more. "see the rise of Apple;)" Now dell is going private to try to rebuild whats left of a once powerful computer giant. Apple and Steve Jobs are perfect examples of this since the preferred stock holders and board members kicked him out of his own company. Apple did not stock thriving until Jobs returned. I have no time to give you lessons on how the stock market, companies, bonus and compensation packages cause the rise and fall of companies! Let's just agree to disagree respectfully.

Who said anything about running a charity. The last time that I checked Verizon made over 50 GP or close to it. That's loads of money being made. I am not against anyone making money period! The structure of most companies on the stock market is structured to pay bonus, and the premium share holders. When profits are this high they attract investors and the drive to MAKE MORE BONUS DRIVES INCENTIVES TO EXTRACT MORE OUT OF CUSTOMERS TO REACH THAT GOAL! Am I mad at them for doing this ...no.1 As a consumer you choose to buy or not buy. You have your opinion on this and I have mine we can agree to disagree.

Every carrier is stock market based....that is the problem! The premium investor must get his piece of the pie, and then CEO's, and direct subordinates must get their bonuses. We are paying for the big bonus, and investor premiums.

How is wifi calling a big advantage for T mobile. I have been making wifi calls since 2010 with Google voice. LOL talk about misinformation. Anyone using Google voice can make wifi calls for free.,

After looking at Sprints "S" stock chart they mayl bounce and appear to be in a wave three decline on the daily. The weekly chart is showing possible support at 501. The 50 SMA is 5.05 on the weekly so lets see how this plays out. The daily chart is poised for a bounce AND IF THIS IS A 5 WAVE STRUCTURE IT CAN GO LOWER since wave three appears to be in. Wave 4 can bounce and fall back to the last bottom of 5.36, or continue lower. Again the weekly 50 SMA is 5.05. Since the 2.10 bottom the stock went to 11.47, and has since retrace 61.8%. This s just a correction in my opinion when the bottom is in be ready to buy. You all know what the inside scoop is don't be fooled I am going to make a chart analysis and if anyone that would like to read and learn LMK!
