Long line still?

lines aren't bad. I was actually one of the first 50 but gave up my spot after talking to the Samsung rep. they're quite disorganized tho

i got there at 11am. i was honestly turned off by the whole experience. the Samsung reps don't know when they will be shipping the grey models. they just told me to keep checking. it really seemed like they were not ready to release this thing yet.

Any word on when the 8.9 will be available?

Time is ticking. The tablet market is hot, and moving very rapidly. All tablet manufacturers have to push these things out as fast as they can, before more competition gets their units out, ramp up production, or newer, better models come along. They don't really have time to come out with a polished and well planned launch. I'm sure this is why it was a NYC only event. They just weren't ready for a full launch, but are trying to get these released as quickly as possible.

Wait, sorry if i'm off here but, everyone is upset because they only have the white model and not the grey one?

if you were there at the launch, you'd be too.
1) no announcements were made that they only had the 16gb white model. there were a lot of people who were waiting longer than me who left the line after hearing the Samsung rep tell me about that. they all wanted a 32gb model, due to the lack of micro sd slot.
2) Samsung reps had no idea when the rest of the models will be available. no eta. only told me to keep coming back. it was a disorganized launch. there were gaps in information between Samsung reps and Best Buy employees. the Samsung rep even admitted that they had to ship some models last second just to even have demo versions.
don't get me wrong.. i'll be going back there again tomorrow in hopes that they suddenly get some new shipments of the grey 32gb model.. fingers crossed.

i bought the 16gb white model the only model available , was planning to get the metallic grey , might return this for the metallic grey once that comes out.
Also got the free leather sleeve . the line wasn't too bad i reached there exactly at noon.

I bet the grey will be out on the 17th. I would be a little bit miffed to get there & wait only to find they have 16GB white models if I was wanting grey or a higher capacity.
They talked the release up enough that they should have mentioned that model was to be the one released.
I'm still bombed at still no word on the 8.9.
I think i'll give it a few more weeks after that I'm probably just going to bite the bullet and place an order for the iPad2 :-|

Yeah it was super fishy that the annouced launch way back from Jan of this year was a one Best Buy only launch with the rest coming a week later.
It appears now from your experience that you are dead on correct, they simply wernt and still ARE NOT ready to launch but are scrambling to get them ready.
The sad part is that the average non XDA tablet buyer will be non the wiser until a major new publication decides to cover this.
My biggest question is this: What is the exact count of 16GB white versions avaliable at Best Buy today?

I would buy the 16gb white one then.... wait and return for whatever tablet you want.

i asked.. Samsung rep couldn't tell, Best Buy employee didn't know. there really was that disconnect. i also asked them if there was an option for those of us there that showed up - if we could get some sort of email or phone notification if the model we wanted came in stock at the store.. nope. no luck

i waited this long already. i can wait another week or so

I'm personally not upset the white 16gb was wat i wanted anyways, but i forgot about the leather sleeve, since i doubt the sold 200.

Anybody in the area stop in and see how many of these are still left in stock or estimate of how many has been sold?
I'd be curious to know.

I got there after 2pm and they had stacks on the desk where the samsung employees were demoing. I would b shocked if they become out of stock. They had alot of keyboards, docks and folio cases also.

so its safe to say their strategy was a smashing failure. hope this expedites their worldwide launch. they should've premiered elsewhere

That is a bit disappointing
I was going to attempt to make a trip out.. glad I didn't.
I pre-ordered mine on bestbuy.com and got 18 months no interest financing (not that I need it or care for it, I guess it is just kind of cool to get)

Just as a side note, does this best buy have a parking? Hey, its NYC and parking is tough

They do not.

Ordered the T-Mobile version!

I ordered the T-Mobile version earlier today, FINALLY. Not sure if I should have waited for the DEV edition, but the T-Mobile version comes with an unlockable bootloader so I guess that's good. If the DEV edition becomes available later this week I will simply return the tmo version and get that.
Anyone else order the T-Mobile Moto X?
UPDATE: Our Moto X's have started shipping, although the moto site still does not reflect it. Showing a delivery date of 9/16 (Monday)!

Might wait for the Dev. Edition and/or Motomaker edition, the appealing thing about the Moto X is the possibility of the 32gb internal storage and you won't get that with the carrier version.

Do we know if the Dev edition will come with T Mobiles AWS HSPA? If so, that is what I'm going to wait for.

It probably won't. The T-Mobile version does though, and is fully unlockable... so I'd go with that one.

Almost bit the bullet and bought one of these. Can't justify dropping 600 bucks for 16gb and from most accounts a poor camera and average screen. I really wanted to love the phone, but in my limited time in playing with one, I just don't feel it's a 600 dollar product. Motorola pays 220 dollars to have the phone made, they would have taken over the world if they didn't try to get 3x the price out of customers.

Thanks for wishing me luck, it worked. I bought a LG G2 for 600 dollars. Problem solved. I appreciate the luck! :good: 32GB, 1080P screen, Great camera with OIS, for the same price. It wasn't the fact that phones cost 600 dollars, its the fact that Motorola is charging 600 dollars for that phone. Its not a 600 dollar piece of hardware. Anyway, I'm good to go now, back to my regularly scheduled G2 forums. Best of luck X guys! Its really a cool and unique phone.

You're welcome
And congrats!

I tried to order one several times yesterday. I had it the basket every time and when I clicked the purchase button I kept getting a message about an error with my credit card which has plenty of money on it. Now I have three holds pending on my credit card in the amount of the purchase and they all say Motorola Direct. First chat session was cut off and second one was with a person saying the only moto x available for purchase was the att exclusive one. I told them they had bad information and they insisted I was wrong. I made a call about it and have had two call backs today but each time I was busy. Hoping for another call back today because I'm not going to sit on hold for another 20 minutes today to see what they have come up with. They did admit that the website has a problem but without more info I am in the dark still I'm losing my faith in this company and it sucks because I want to try this phone and give them a chance but it is frustrating so far. I know its early in the game for the T-Mobile variant but damn, its not looking good so far.

In other threads that don't have to do with the t-mobile version, people have reported the phone showing up even before the motorola order status page was updated. So....anyway, take that with some heavy salt.

Needs more Verizon

Will it be on sale everywhere (i.e. AT&T's site as well) or just Motorola/Moto Maker?

Here's to hoping the Pure Edition can be activated in Verizon!
I know I'm grabbing at straws, since Motorola said VZW won't be getting a dev edition. But one can hope that they were being literal about the matter and that VZW will support it.

Verge is saying noon ET, apparently.

Def sounds right I just looked and it says 11 am central

who's going to preorder this? I definitely am (if 32gb is avail), plus the turbo charger, and a hula bumper. finally will be able to replace my Nexus 4 with the Pure Edition and still have stock Android

Verizon slacking again, as usual. As soon as coverage in my area is trumped by a different carrier I'm jumping ship. Even with my unlimited data, it's not enough to keep me. I've never despised a company more.

Think i will preorder the pure. I currently have moto x on verizon but want new x for straighttalk. Verizon is going downhill.
Just wish they kept the 4.7" screen or possibly 5 at most.

I just spoke to them and you will be able to customize an order starting on Tuesday to get the feel of the device, but no orders will ship for 2 weeks.

I was told different I don't think they have a clue whats going on, I just talked to them they didn't even know what time the pre order started and she told me 3 days for assembly and 2 days to ship. My screenshot isn't uploading sorry

As long as they have 32 GB Pure editions, I'm ordering. Will be nice to stop having to check when they go on sale.

So far I think I'm going to buy a 32GB Pure edition...but I'm also really interested in what might come of the next Nexus. It's historically released between now and Halloween, so it won't be more than around a month and change until we know more about it. I think I'll be buying the Moto X anyway, but I just am not looking forward to selling it in 6 weeks for something else lol

So all of the sites, including Motorola's own, say 11am CT (12pm EST). It's quarter-after, with nothing on the page. Generally they're pretty good about being exactly on time with this kind of stuff.

It's tomorrow, not today

Its tomorrow

Balls, I forgot today is Monday. Well that's unfortunate because I'll be traveling to Orlando for a business trip tomorrow morning...I think my flight is scheduled to land around 12:15, so maybe I'll have to spend an extra few minutes in the airport...

The refresh war (aka there is hope)

I am one of the people that tried to buy a nexus 6 just 4(!) minutes after it was up for pre-order and found the dreaded "We are out of inventory. Please check back soon." message...
Since then, every so often I went on the play store and jumped from midnight blue to white from 32 to 64... A few times more as a nervous twitch waiting for the day I would find the message "Ships in 2 to 3 weeks"... I knew they restocked on Wednesday, nonetheless I tried...
All this for telling you guys that today after a few refresh the midnight blue became available... I couldn't believe it and stupidly I clicked on the white (as that's what I wanted) and found it out of stock.. I went back to blue and that one too was out of stock again! Darn it... After a few desperate refreshes however it became available again and I managed to snag it... So... I'm not sure what kind of game google is playing but I would just give it a try every day just refresh for 5 mins... You might "hit the lottery"!

The next lottery is when will it ship. Glad to hear your gettin one.

If you are content with 32gb pick one up at T-Mobile. I got one yesterday was out of there in less than 30 minutes

Well I called my local t-mobile and they told me that 1) they sold it but they had none in stock... 2) the phone was locked to them as far as they knew (I'm with at)... I didn't want to chance it and go through the hassle.. I just wanted an unbranded, unlocked version.. 32 GB was plenty for me.. My N5 is 32 and I've never gotten close to fill it up!

The phone is definitely not locked to them. But you have to be a tmo subscriber to purchase one. In other words you can't go in to buy one as an att customer without switching over

Even if you wanted it at full retail. It's always been this way. I'm sure there is some loophole. But they don't make money on hardware..... It's their service

I was just randomly checking yesterday and also got a midnight blue one in 32gb. I was hoping for white, but I cannot complain since I wanted this phone so badly (I'm on Verizon). The email I got said it leaves the warehouse on December 17th so still a little ways off, but I don't mind at all since I was finally able to order it!

Agreed. I found my Cloud White 64 on Monday November 3, in between Wednesdays.

I went to sprint to pay cash and they had a few in stock, he said they never sell any of the nexus 6 and always have a stock. He let me pay cash because i said it was a holiday gift .

Looks likes Verizon orders won't ship until 18th..bummer.

It's on the Verizon site, but not available through the comcast link. CS said it would ship the 18th. Guess I'll see how long it takes to show up on comcast site and go from there. Was hoping to have Friday. The wait continues....

It's already 3-4 months late! What' s another week?

It's on the Comcast link - you have to hit the "All Devices" tab at the top. Then either search the page for Nexus 6 or filter by Motorola.

Thanks for pointing that out. On the Verizon site it's under google devices. I went ahead and ordered through the link, now the waiting game is on. Coming from galaxy s4 (hyperdrive), this will be my first nexus device. Super pumped.

I was testing a Sprint Nexus on my account and Google sent me an email saying I'd qualified for the free six months. I'd already returned the phone when I found out big red would be launching their own. This was back at the end of February. Still not sure if it's because I was using it on VZ or google was offering it to any purchases of the Nexus 6

Something else I just thought of, the Phandroid "trusted source" leaked photos on Feb. 5th of the VZW N6 complete with logo do show a black device.

Having stated explicitly on their site it's black would open them up to problems if they shipped anything else. I think Phandroid was ahead of the curve
