From VZW S4 ==> TMO Nexus 6 - Nexus 6 General

Thought I'd share my experience, had an VZW S4 (GPE Edition via Loki), and used the TMO Uncarrier deal to break it off with VZW. I live in Jacksonville, FL, and I never once got LTE at my home, or on I-95, now with TMO, I have yet to drop from LTE once.
Went into the TMO store with my family in St. Augustine, told them I wanted a Nexus 6 and to get rid of Verizon, the guys were great, they told me that a shipment of N6's had just come in an hour ago and that they had two left. I handed him my S4 (Which I decided to keep laying around for now ) and he switched the number to the Nexus 6 (Took maybe ~15 Minutes) while I signed the papers for the phone and a new Unlimited Data Plan (for $80 less than my family paid for 3 lines with VZW).
I then started messing with my N6 while the guys were finishing up, now, my father and mother had planned to keep their phones and just migrate to TMO, but after seeing my N6, my dad said he wanted one, so the guys went in the back and after another ~15 minutes, my dad was set as well. My mothers iPhone 5s took all of 2 minutes to switch the new SIM into it and activate. Then, on the spot, my dad asked for a 4th line and new Nano-SIM, then my dad popped the SIM into his old iPhone 5 and handed it to my little sister and said "Merry Christmas", made her whole year.
Literally, ditched Verizon, had the cancellation bills paid, and walked out with 4 lines (1 Line of Unlimited Data, 2 Lines of 4.5 GB Data, 1 Line of 2.5 GB Data) for $240 a month and it only cost $100 up front for two new N6's and 4 Nano-SIM cards. ALL WITHIN ~45 Minutes.
The N6 has been great, I've already rooted it, and enabled double tap to wake, and other than that, this thing is near to perfect.
Moral of the story, to anyone wondering if they should take the plunge, do it, you will not regret it.

I also live in Jacksonville. Which store? I didn't think any T-Mobile stores in the area carried it.

Thanks!
Actually found a Jax store that has it as well. Too bad they won't let me exchange my unit that has a bad case of the pink tint (since a store ordered it for me).

Darn. That sucks. Could you post some pictures of the pink tint? I keep hearing of it, but have yet to see it.
I am colorblind, and it is hard for me to see burn-in and light tints, when I sold my S4, the sales rep said it had a horrible case of burn-in, and I had never noticed.

Bell Mobility Canada Tab

Repost from the Rogers thread, but the Bell unit deserves its own thread too:
Just got back from my local Bell corporate store, proud new owner of a Bell Galaxy Tab that I can't take home until tomorrow morning (talk about a
sleepless night for a gadget freak).
Device is $649 CAD, as expected, and it's data only, as expected.
There are *no* contract subsidies for this device, retail price is the only price.
They're rolling out a new "Flex Plan" to go with the device, $20/500mb, and if you exceed the 500mb, it goes up to $35 for up to 5Gb. It's a pretty
damned good plan, and especially good considering it's a CANADIAN plan.
If you keep the plan, you get a $50 bill credit after the second month, to further sweeten the pot.
The catch is, you MUST sign up for the no-obligation month-to-month plan to even buy it, and there's the usual (for Canada) $35 "activation fee", same as
any other device sold by a carrier.
The device itself was a pleasant surprise, based on all the literature/leaks, I was expecting the traditional white backed Tab. But this one has the same
textured/patterned (and grippy, btw) black/gray back as found on the AT&T (and Rogers) units, but with absolutely no carrier branding. The sales rep
said they may carry the white-backed model in the future as well, but at least for this first shipment, they're all black.
Model number is GT-PT1000M, so one could expect it to be very similar to International models, sans voice.
Finally, corporate stores have received 2 (count 'em, TWO) units each, and independent dealers may not get any right away, so they will be in short
supply at launch.
im debating wether or not to go into a bell store tomorrow. Im debating between this and a dell streak...not really sure yet. 2 per store sounds like i wont be getting one tomorrow anyways

I'd hold off on the Streak if you really want one, since Dell US will be selling unlocked Streaks with Froyo already installed very shortly, like in time for Black Friday from all reports.
DELL's support sucks ass. Come on, 6 months to get the streak some froyo? We are ad portas of getting gingerbread. I'll keep my tab with all its imperfections.

Just remember that the Galaxy S launched BEFORE the Streak did, and it's just now getting official Froyo in some regions too (none of which are Canada).
yeah I might hold off, i wish i could find a tab and a streak to play with side by side lol
That's why I returned my captivate and kept my nexus one.

:O I am definitely visiting the bell store tomorrow and hope they are in stock.
I should also mention they have a $10 Bell Mobile TV plan that doesn't use your data bucket, and the store I was in actually already had accessories:
Two different Roots sleeves (one a nylon zipper job with external pockets for other crap, one a pleather book cover sleeve that you slid the Tab in from the side and secured with a magnetic flap) and a generic pleather folio that used elastic to hold the Tab in place and a leather slide flap to secure it closed.
Plus Futureshop here already has Zagg full body Invisibleshields for them ($39).
This is totally better than the Galaxy S launch up here, where there wasn't **** for accessories for weeks.
What they did NOT have were extra 30-pin cables or car chargers.
So the bell store at Fairview mall refused to sell me one without signing a plan. Even though I'm an exsisting customer.
Really? I just got mine half an hour ago with no plan and no activation fee. It was funny they had to check the release date then just sold me it and said i was the first to own one bought at that store. I find it strange that the stores only recieved two of them, store thought so too. Im sooo happy its finally mine

Lol I was so suprised that it actually had two in stock I thought for sure I'd have to wait a few days or weeks. We actually have three bell stores in our small city, the one I went to was the only one with them. Its the first time I actually like being here.

Any one picked one up at their local at&t today?

was there a line?
were they sold out?
please do tell your exwpeience dropping by your local at&t
I exchanged mine in store today. No line, no grand displays. Just 2 people there to get the Atrix. Only one phone on display and one dock without a phone to power it. This was in Northern CA. I was at the same store for iPhone PreOrders and it was a madhouse. I thought there would be a little more demand for the phone.
I bought 4 of them today at AT&T. They were the only ones that I could get 4 from. Radio Shack only had 1, Best Buy only had 1, and they said that they would only sell one per family... Weird. It's not like anyone was knocking down their doors for it.
I did because Im nbot up for an upgrade till March and I had to be a pig and get it today at ATT and not radio shack since they wont honor ATT's 30 day policy. I asked about there stock and they said they had plenty.
I picked one up today. Went in and swaped my 3 day old inspire. Prolly best desicion I've made un a few days.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
i thought there might have been a mad rush for it and getting sold out. i just sold my hd2 and itching to get the atrix or the pre 3 if that ever comes out
Dmappdev did the same thing. Had the inspire for 3 days. Inspire was awesome but I am loving the size and weight of tHe atrix. The rest is just icing on the cake
My local store said they had several but couldn't sell them because AT&T didn't send them any 4G SIM cards. The rep said I was the 6th or 7th person they turned away.

4g sim? what is that nonsense?
Has there even been any advertising for this device? Apple drops 10s of millions months before a product drops, it's not shocking that a device with no major add campaign isn't flying off the shelves.
Maybe att doesnt want people to grab it just yet, until they actually turn on their 4g backhaul, cause ill say this right now. ATT does not have true hspa+, not like t-mobile.

I've seen a couple of commercials here and there.
I was the only idiot waiting for the store to open at 9am. The only other guy that even walked in was some old dude that lost his iPhone.
Had to call 3 different AT&T stores. The 3rd one had 2 more in stock, and asked if they would hold it for me.
got mine at the local att store, not a single person there. 10am
Walked into my local store at 7:30 tonight. No line. Walked out with my Atrix in about 30 minutes.

I was told by my local AT&T store that they wouldn't even have any until March 3rd. The one i actually ordered my phone from said coming into the store might be pointless. I guess maybe not... but oh well.
As for the popularity.... just think about it for a second. If it doesn't have a shiny apple on the back of it, then the vast majority of the "smartphone" population doesn't care about it.

I did the same thing, stopped by on my way to class this morning.
I dropped by yesterday to make sure that they'd have enough in stock, and the guy (at that time) told me they had plenty. When I was talking to the guy that was writing me up, he told me they only had two in stock haha. Lucky me.
My att said they sold a few today. They had both docks out for display and people were checking them out. Coming from an iphone4 I couldn't be happier to be honest.

I picked mine up today in Rolla MO ( small town south east of St. Louis) I was the first on the list, some people after me came into buy as well. I got to keep my unlimited data plan, and the whole process took about 15 min. Unfortunately the store i went to didn't get any docks in, but i got a card for 15% off any accessories i pick up later.
Coming from a Iphone 3g I am very very happy with the atrix, I am having a few android growing pains ( like contacts not filtered by last name) But so far i really like this phone.
The best part is that my hick ass town which only got 3g last year, already has the back haul in place for 4g (att's sorry rendition of it) so im getting 4megs down and .5 up.. thats a hell of a lot better than the speeds i was getting on my crippled Iphone.
I called the two corporate stores near me. Only one got a shipment of 5 phones in yesterday, the other wasn't getting theirs until this afternoon.
I walked into the store that got them last night right after they opened and 20 miutes later me and my new phone hit the road.
They didn't even have any on display.
Arlington Texas
Bought mine across the street from the Cowboy's Stadium (not a fan just a location reference) and they only received three. I bought the last one. I have another that I pre-ordered for my Dad. The store I went to had the display out and they worked on it for a few days getting it all put together. It only had one working Atrix that was securely tethered with one of those flexy coil reels so that you can place the phone in any of the three docks to check it out. I was there just after 10:00 when the store opened.

The BB $200 gift card scam

For weeks I have been trying to take advantage of the BB 200. gift card offer for Sprint N4 white. checking the web site day and night every day, calling my local store NEVER in stock and "Sold out online" Offer ended last night, this morning for the first time my local store now has them in stock. What a scam.
I thought the $200.00 BB thing was for pre orders only....

NO because you could also use the credit towards buying an S5 as well.
I remember seeing and or reading that this offer was good on pre-orders on the note 4 which had a release day of 10/17 so that made the offer invalid after that. I heard of people using it towards an S5, i have no idea why but hey to each their own. I was also told that when my phone came in that they would only hold my pre order for a day.
They had the offer under "Weekly Specials" Oct26-Nov.1 for Note4 and S5
Could have purchased the s5 and returned within the 14 day period for note 4

Finally yesterday a bb 70 miles north had them in Stock. Hauled ass and bought one with a $200 trade in for an old LG Optimus m. Funny thing, when I got there the "consutants" couldn't find them. Chewed my nails for about an hour. Ended up being $165 out the door.
Had no problem with my trade in and 200 towards my note 4. All best buys in my are have had them all week.
They completely screwed me out of my $200 even on a pre-order. I had spoken with a rep who suggested I have the pre-order shipped to home to avoid the out of stock store issues (like she knew in advance it was going to happen). When I got my Note 4, I went to my local Worstbuy and they told me that it had to be picked up at the store. When I asked to see that in writing, the manager stuttered and walked away to send a message back through another associate that he couldn't honor it. When I went to another store the next day, I was told that the program was changed to the trade in had to be the most recent phone on that line. I wasn't giving up my Note 3, so he tried a few different things but couldn't override the system. He told me to just call Worstbuy back office and they will take care of it. After days of unanswered calls and ridiculous wait times, I sent a few emails. They each took 48 hours to answer, with no resolution yet. I'm waiting for the nonsense they will try to spew out next. This was the last time I pre-order anything through them, and quite possibly buy anything from them.
Well it worked for me yesterday. I've been checking the stock every day since they came out. Both white and black were in stock briefly last weekend but i couldn't make it to the store. The black one came back in stock Friday and I went up first thing Saturday and purchased it. I traded in my old nexus 4g for it. I haven't had that active on my account for years. I also got the $50 phone freedom giftcard. So i paid $49.99 plus tax for my new note 4.

Go ahead rub salt in my wound, still have no Note4
Any sweet deals please post
My husband and I just both got note 4's yesterday and we both got the 200.00 trade in and neither phone was pre-ordered..
Having been in this boat myself recently, anyone feeling wronged by this promo should check out this thread on the official Best Buy forum: http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Cell-P...00-gift-card-for-trade-in/td-p/853517/page/91
A moderator there, Allan-BBY, has been working relentlessly (weekdays only) to help straighten out customer issues by directly emailing managers of problematic stores. He has said many, many times that Best Buy corporate has decided it WILL honor all preorders regardless of when the device comes in. I have not heard anything about excluding ones placed after 10/17. Also, just tonight a regular employee from Best Buy mobile posted, confirming the system was still giving them the option to honor the promo.
If you're having problems, I highly suggest you make an account there and post a reply or directly message Allan-BBY so he can straighten things out with stores who are confused.

So your saying Sunday Nov.2 after the promo ended BB honored the 200. gift card deal?
I also thought it was a scam. I called about 6 best buys a day and they all said they were still filling in pre-orders. Finally on Oct 31, I just went to the store thinking I would just get the S5 for now and then exchange it for a note 4 when they finally have it in stock within the 14 day period. Long and behold I walked in and asked if they had any note 4s in stock for Sprint and he said yes. I first thought they were joking and was a little surprised. I ended up upgrading 2 of our phones and got very lucky on getting them. I had my old EVO and an old MY Touch HTC one phone to trade in.
The sales rep started looking into the system to make sure my trade in phones were eligible and he said that EVO was eligible and the HTC one was not. Then I questioned him saying that your add says any working smart phone then he showed me something in fine print that said some BS that not all phones may be eligible. I was a little shocked so I asked him what system are they checking to see if the phones are eligible? He told me to go to bestbuy.com/tradein. So while I waited I started to look and long and behold that My touch HTC one was listed online so I showed it to him. He ended up saying he didn't see it because it was on the bottom of the list and they ended up giving me the rebate for both of the phones. I later find out from another sell rep that he didn't realize the phone was an HTC so he ended up looking for just "My touch" rather than "HTC My Touch". Lesson learned to make sure to look up the phone online before you go to the store.
crazy situation
Actually i was able to preorder my note 4 and I traded my Old s3. But some thing happened. Sprint didn't put their system that I got note 4. So even though i got my not 4 on easy pay but again there's no record which shows that I have installment on this phone. That means i got my note 4 for only 30 dollars, but i should also receive $200 from sumsung. So now I'm thinking not to claim Samsung's money because they might call sprint and ask them about this phone. What do you guys think?

TMO Locations With Display Models

Given that we are all curious about the phone and that some T-Mobile locations are beginning to put the Nexus 6 on display, let's use this thread to post sightings and our own "hands on" experiences.
Where have you seen it on display and what were your thoughts?

Am also in the DC area, there are pleeeenty of stores in the DMV that have display models. I know one for sure is the Shady Grove & Fallsgrove one, corporate store. Anyway, just call them up and ask them about the sale and they usually tell you that they only have demo unit. Good luck
I posted this in another section earlier today:
If anyone in South Jersey wants to try out the phone while waiting for delivery, the T-Mobile in Willingboro on Route 130 has a demo unit. I tried the thing out and it is definitely big but not shockingly big. It is a little bigger than my OPO and the screen is perfectly huge. At least to me it doesn't feel much larger in the hand than the OPO so if you have an OPO and are ok with that then you should be fine with the 6.
The phone felt fast and buttery smooth. I activated developer options, took animations to 0.5, restarted, and it felt exactly like both my nexus 5 and OPO feel speed wise. I know that is subjective and each person may have a different opinion but that is my take on it so I am happy.
Granted it was brand new with no extra apps on it and didn't even have a sim card, but there were 25 free gigs of storage and 1.9 Gb of free ram (for those that care)
Now to just sit back and wait for what seems like it is going to be a damn good phone.....at least after a 5 minute impression
I saw one yesterday on a business trip to San Francisco. 699 Market St. Store. Wasn't on display yet but the rep carrying it around let me have it for a few minutes. Big, really big. And solidly built. And oh so smooth. Display looked okay to me but I didn't compare it to the Galaxy Note 4. To me the Note 4's build quality doesn't even come close to the Nexus 6, though.

What time did you go to that T-Mobile store? I went to the 699 Market St store around 7PM and one of the employees told me their demo unit was stolen! Luckily there's another T-Mobile store not too far away from that one, at 50 Powell, and they let me play with their demo unit.

Wow, that's crazy! My last video says 7:19 PM (taken with stand-in iPhone 5). I don't know if that means local there or here (EST).
I DIDNT DO IT, LOL!
i was at the East Cobb location in Marietta GA yesterday and they had one. IT was awesome. They let me compare sizes to the note 4 and shoot, its really almost exactly the same size. I thought it was light, and more comfortable to hold than the note 4 was. IN fact, it felt very similar to my oneplus one. There was no lag at all from the couple of minute test drive I did. It was enough for me to eliminate any doubt that I would be getting it in fear of size or performance. Awesome phone.
Anyone in the Knoxville area find one?
I think the size will be relative, for someone with average + to big hands it will be great
Then again even some folks with smaller hands like big phones
Mays Landing/Hamilton Court (Nearby the Hamilton Mall in South Jersey) has a demo up as well.

T-mobile Store at the Chapel Hills Mall
They had a display model, but you had to ask to see it. They were very cool about it but didn't have any info. They offered to let me pre order, but they couldn't do it as it "wasn't in the system".
Handling it just confirmed for me that I want this phone.

I have one in the mail as we speak that I ordered directly from Motorola. It should be on my doorstep Monday or Tuesday. I went there because it was the closest one to where i live that was reported to have a display unit and when i called to ask they confirmed that they did. I have AT&A and just wanted to hold it to hold me over until mine comes this week, haha. They did confirm that they have units to sell this Wednesday so if you/anyone else fail in cherry hill then definitely give them a shot.
Chattanooga on Gunbarrel Rd has them but doesn't have the display setup yet. Going to swing by and check to see if I can get my hands on it. Will update later if they let me play with it.

i was at the East Cobb location in Marietta GA yesterday and they had one. IT was awesome. They let me compare sizes to the note 4 and shoot, its really almost exactly the same size. I thought it was light, and more comfortable to hold than the note 4 was. IN fact, it felt very similar to my oneplus one. There was no lag at all from the couple of minute test drive I did. It was enough for me to eliminate any doubt that I would be getting it in fear of size or performance. Awesome phone.

Here in Cedar Park Texas I Measured my note 3 and my one plus one phone against this Nexus six. It's just a little bigger than both of those phones but it was pretty comfortable. Going to buy this Wednesday but I may just wait till I get my order from Motorola on December 2.
Got my one plus and note 3 both for sale on Craigslist for $300 each.

*** Nexus 9 LTE Shipping Waiting Room ***

So i placed my order via T-Mobile Underground today, They are saying it will be delivered by 12/22/14, so the date of GPS shipping by the 12/19./14 seems to line up. I hope they fixed the light bleed, back cover situation, and power button/volume rocker issue. stay tuned.

Ordered mine this morning as well with Saturday shipping. Talked to 5 people in customer care and no one had an idea of when it would ship. The last lady did call the shipping department and they said they have them in stock. We'll see I guess.
right so will the t mo version be as vanilla as the goog play version?
after the nex 6 fiasco with google i opted NOT to order through them.

What exactly are you speaking about, the shipping delays....? I bought a 32gb MB nexus 6 on launch day (I have since returned it and ordered a MB 64GB version) from a T-Mobile store and it was as vanilla as could be.. Can you please elaborate..?
64 GB versions of nexus 6 were not shipping in the way people ordered them.

THIS.
I was able to sneak in an order the first time the 64gbs went up on googs site. but the shipping delays and all that nonsense was just too much. im not used to that (normally on launch day i just walk into a store and get the phone) and im not going through that again.
i sincerely hope this nex 9 t mobile lte tablet will be pure vanilla like the nexus 6 is. we wiill see.
i called the t mo cs to ask if i could trade in my nexus 9 wifi (i just got a new RMS unit a week ago so this tab is pratically mint).wanted to know the max i can get before i just return it to goog or sale it on fleabay. its too new in the system to give a quote on so i have to walk into a t mo copr store. i am a sprint user and have never been on any other carrier since 1998 so lets hope t mo's store reps are helpful.
I might return my WiFi n9 if this will work on Verizon.
N9 I have has some issues with screen bleeds and the back cover . returnable to amazon till end of January
Mine has shipped... That was fast.
If my nexus 6 made it out tonight too that would rock.

Got shipping confirmation also
ahhh received the track info from UPS also. im in LA so you cats make sure you post up your build date and how easy or hard it was to activate the sim as I will get mine much later than you guys.
As mentioned, I am a sprint user but picked up a data plan from TMO (5gb).
I already have 2 nano Sims that are in my ipads so I will just be swapping sims..

right, so tmo tell me they dont offer sat shipping, and that what i paid for was NEXT DAY (i.e. monday in this case) shipping. EVEN THOUGH on the order page it had an option for sat deliver and the invoice i received stated sat(today) deliver.
chatted up those cats at tmo and they will waive my shipping charge. homeboy wrote that they do not offer sat shipping ,only next day for 24.99. again, wrote to him that the webpage offered sat ship at 24.99.
whatevs..
i still have my nex9 wifi to hold me over until monday. :good::fingers-crossed:
I ordered my N9 LTE on Thursday, got my Ship info tonight, should have it by Tuesday
I ordered my N6 (64gb Midnight Blue) on Cyber Monday off the T-Mo site, backordered and was supposed to be delivered by this Tuesday, no ship info for it yet .
If I get my N9 on Tuesday, I'll update here, can't wait though
Build quality seems a lot better. Buttons slightly raised, no light bleed whatsoever. A tiny bit of flex but nowhere near like the previous WiFi models I had. Updated as soon as I turned on to 5.01. Build number LRX22C. Came installed with T-Mobile microsim. Haven't tested my att Sim yet. Still takes forever to charge.
