Verizon is just.. not very hospitable.

@Radeon962: That case looks awesome. I use my phones naked but I would not mind trying cases made of real wood. Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking? Do they make one for the Nexus 5 (or 4)?

Edit: Wait. Is that a case or a back cover?

That would be a back cover. The 1+1 was supposed to have a whole slew of backs to choose from, but they're focusing on trying to actually manufacture the device first and get it shipped to customers still waiting for one. 😛

I ordered a micro to nano SIM adapter on Amazon and also called Verizon and told them I bought an htc one M8...They are sending me the nano SIM. I'll have to activate it on my m7 and use the micro adapter until the nexus 6 gets here.
 
Mine has not shipped yet. I don't see how others on xda can use fedex delivery manager to see if shipments have been addressed to them. My address is correct and nothing shows up. People claim you can tell if a label is created, etc.

Brilliant!
 
picked mine up this AM at Tmobile. 32 gig blue, it's a big phone. everything is say is relative to my Nexus 5.
- front facing speakers sound nice
- screen is gorgeous and just as bright as the N5. Can't wait to get some notifications and use Dymanic Notifications
- haven't tested camera pictures/videos
- haven't tested qi charger on my ebay charger

Ultimately, i picked it over the Note4. Pure Android, fast updates, no TW. I spent a lot of time playing with someone's Note 3 (with Nova Launcher, Google Launcher, Google Keyboard) to see if that combo for a "close" to stock will make me happy. It didn't.

edit: at work, i tend to type/use my phone while it's on the table. Since it's a rounded, tapered back, it shakes and jiggles .. that's annoying.

I just spoke with a TMo store person over the store she said that the stores will not carry them and that I have to get it through google?

--edit
getting mixed results when calling various stores had another guy the shipment didn't come in yet doesn't have an ETA but told me to callback later.

Here's the link to a spreadsheet of stores that are supposed to have it in stock, apparently it's accurate

yep. i was gonna say XDA and reposted later to Reddit had a list of all stores with coming stock or a display model.

I went to a store on the list night and asked if they had stock, said yes, asked if i can play with the display model, he said not till tomorrow.

Walked in this AM, played with the display model and then walked out with one.

Good luck! I'd prefer the white but the ordering and delayed shipments would piss me off more than having blue.
 
I just visited the local T-Mobile, and played with a Nexus 6 for a few minutes... I am sold! I just wish I could find someone who will take my money (in exchange for a N6.) 🙂
 
Still downloading all my apps, so I will wait a bit before posting my full impressions, but right off the bat I will say it's very nice. Love the screen, love the size, love the speakers. Do NOT like how the top bezel is bigger than the bottom one, which seems to be a Moto thing. It nags at my OCD when I have the phone in landscape (which results in the screen being slightly more to the left or right depending on orientation). Come on Moto, give me symmetry! Android 5.0 is nice, haven't had a chance to really mess with it.

I did go to Nova Launcher within the first minute though. I don't understand why Google or Samsung don't add in swipe down for notifications already. It's an incredibly obvious and useful thing to have, especially for phablets. Anyhow, Nova Launcher gives that to me, same with double tap to turn off screen (sadly no tap to wake, I guess they thought Ambient Screen would be enough).

Congrats! Keep us updated on your various opinions.

Did you get a case yet? Or have one in mind?
How about a Qi charger?

I never buy cases, my phones are nudists. 😉

Don't have a Qi charger, but I am putting the turbo charger to the test right now.
 
Wow, XDA confirmed AT&T version has AT&T boot up screen/animation... guess I shouldn't be surprised they messed with it. My excitement level dropped a few notches, but I definitely wasn't paying full price for this phone.

Edit: and it has AT&T branding on the phone. Lol I thought Nexus was pure Google. Oh well.
