According to several reports on
Reddit and throughout the web, many folks
saw the device listed and were able to pre-
order, but now it seems that the device is
listed “out of inventory” for everyone (or at
least just about everyone). Considering how
short the ordering window was, it was very
possible that there was a glitch or that the
page’s pre-order status wasn’t supposed to
go live yet. Either way, we’ll keep you
updated as we learn more about the Nexus
6’s ordering status. Anyone have success
pre-ordering the Nexus 6?
Google is trying a different approach this
year in putting the Nexus 6 up for sale. For
the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 5 , Google simply
opened the virtual doors of the Play Store
and hoped for the best. The digital stampede
that followed frustrated and disappointed
tons of users, and naturally, all fingers
were pointed towards Google.
For the Nexus 6 and the Nexus 9, Google is
using a pre-order system. The device is now
available for pre-order in the Play
Store (though only for US customers
reportedly) starting from $649. Redditors
who managed to complete their order
report the shipping date is November 21!
While the Nexus 6 is a very attractive
device, the relatively high price tag
(compared to the Nexus 5, which remains
available in the Play Store) will probably
limit its appeal and prevent the buildup of
overwhelming demand. Hopefully, the
Nexus 6 will remain in stock for more than
a few hours and the Play Store won’t
buckle under heavy demand like it
happened in the past.
Google is throwing in six months of free
access of Play Music access to every Nexus
6 buyer. More details here .
Are you ordering a Nexus 6 today? Are you
waiting for it to go on sale from retailers?
Or are you skipping it altogether?
