Think this will be sold through carriers? Right away? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on a contract-based family plan thing with Verizon. I still get subsidized phones. Think I will be able to get this as a cheap upgrade from Verizon right away?

no

If history repeats itself Tmobile will be the first to carry them.

This. Although it sometimes takes a while.
T-mobile had more inventory than Google did for some time too. ha

They sure did, I've gotten every nexus right away, minus the galaxy. I had to buy that one from amazon since it was exclusive to Verizon at first. What a joke that was. I hope google learned their lesson

What does history indicate the time it takes to get to carriers? I am sure Verizon takes longer than the others.

Why dump verizon? Just buy any nexus and put your sim in and works from day 1 on verizon. at least that is what i did with nexus 6. no issues at all. would expect the same from the nexus 5x and 6p

I assume it's because Verizon didn't support the Nexus 6 for like 5 months after it was released or something.

I've usually had good experience with T-Mobile and Nexus devices.

They didn't "officially" support it but day one if you put nano SIM in nexus 6 it worked flawlessly. I did it on multiple occasions without a hitch every time

I hope T-Mobile offers the 6P on Jump on Demand.

Verizon doesn't offer contracts anymore. You will have to switch to one of the newer cheaper plans, or drop full price upfront.

That's only for new customers. Existing contract-based customers can stay on it.

**** I'm just hoping they would do a payment plan like Apple did for their iPhone... It would be nice to be able to upgrade every year to a newer nexus

It doesn't look like Google is going to be partnering with carriers at all this round, and I don't think Google will be offering payment plans on the play store. Hope I'm wrong but it wouldn't be shocking since n6 sales didn't to be all that strong last year in carrier stores.

I am really tempting to buy it!!! Unlocked GSM without contract but the phone is just too big. 4.65" and no microSD card slot.
I ordered mine today. I love my N1, but it got damaged a few months ago and this is what I was waiting for to finally replace it.

let us know what non-wifi dl speeds you get on tmobile. i got 10-13mb's on their lte. know it won't be that, but just curious and dissappointed with dl speeds on n1 with tmobile. when contract is up, may switch carriers.
Just read about it via tmonews on an off subject about HTC One S.
So Glad I waited...now to play the waiting game to see when it arrives...
Not bad considering I bought the nexus one when it came out and got the Galaxy Nexus for $450 after taxes and shipping!
so you have a GN on what carrier?

This sux! I bought my N1 from google with no issues. I am in Canada. I cannot buy the Galaxy Nexus though as it states the website is not supported for my country...WTF! Way to go Google...I was going to buy one just based on price but now I'm not sure...
Mine is on the truck now. Unfortunately I'm at work and my wife has to accept it
Do you guys want the tests run straight out of the box before I unlock/root/etc?

Don't matter, I think most will root--that is what it is meant for
Just a regular non-wifi test will do
Don't know how much dl speed differences there are around the country--

Sell my Nexus S?

I really want a Galaxy Nexus for AT&T but I'm currently in a hard financial state. If I was to sell my device which is in good condition aside from a small scuff on the corner, how much should I sell it for?
I'm still not sure if I sell right away because I might wait for the new nexus so the price drops. I'm just looking for a good reference on price so I can ponder it over. Thanks in advance to anyone who offers help.

When I was looking for a sprint one (which i since decided to cancel my contract shortly and go prepaid but thats another story lol) I was able to find a few for ~400 or so. I've seen a couple online retailers selling for ~450.
I haven't even seen any used ones though. Which kind of irritates me as that would probably be the only way I could get one. Seeing as I prefer to buy locally and not have to be without a phone for any major period of time.

Yes and no. Sprint sells them for $550 new. So online retails selling @ 450 are actually selling lower then sprint. Believe me I think its stupid too. This is one of the many reasons I'm ditching sprint in September/October and going gsm/prepaid
350 on the play store new when I'm only selling my phone for 130-150. Lol. I don't have that kind of cash to front at the moment.

Any Difference in the Tmobile nexus 4?

To anyone that has a nexus 4 from T-mobile. Is there any difference in there phones? OS, add in's, junk? Quote
"The T-Mobile version costs less -- $199 for the 16-GB version -- but it requires a two-year contract with T-Mobile. It also has some applications and services from T-Mobile that aren't part of the stock Jelly Bean experience offered by the Google version. Other features, such as the 4.8-inch HD display, 8-megapixel camera and NFC, are all the same".

On contract costs more. You're paying more for it within your monthly fees.

How is it more? I have a family with 5 lines, one of them had an upgrade, I took it.. Cost me total of 257.63 out the door. NOW the Value plan, you have to put down 200 with the $15 monthly charges for 20months. So it depends on what he has and not all contract will cost more.

Well let's just say after being with Tmobile for more than 10 years and being time for an upgrade. My nexus 4 was dirt cheap!!

HTC Trade-Up Program

I just got the email to register my information and to see if I'm qualified for the $100 gift card or if the phone is greater. As long as your phone is still usable with no damage you will something. I'm pretty happy because I'm going to get $100 gift card for this crappy Samsung Intercept that I have been patient with for so long lol.
Now all I need is the 'One' and life will be good :laugh:
just sold my One X for $360 on eBay..
might give up my old blackberry if they willing to give $100 for just any phone long as it in good condition
I'm currently on a Motorola Photon, but I also still have my previous phone, an HTC Touch Pro2... I'm thinking about turning in the TP2 for the $100 gift card, and turning the MoPho over to Sprint for the $40 statement credit... Double dipping.
Only reason I've been keeping the TP2 around was for occasional international travel, as the MoPho is a little hit and miss when it comes to recognizing data capabilities on foreign SIM cards (has something to do with being unable to read the APN on the SIM). I've actually used the TP2 as a wireless hot spot for my MoPho when traveling internationally, which is goofy. Hopefully the One won't have this problem, never was able to figure out if the problem was caused by Motorola, Sprint, or some combination... Each kept pointing at the other.

I wonder how this works? I'm on vzw with a thunderbolt, and will probably break my contract in march when the one comes out. When it says carrier, does it mean the one your trade in is on, or the one you'll get your One on?

I believe it's the carrier the one is going to be registered on. I plugged in an old treo i had laying around and it accepted it on the site so it doesn't look like it's limited in any way other than the pre-registration and the purchase date on the one.
