Mine says the same thing. Ordered mine at 1:17PM EST. Hopefully it'll get sent out with the Nexus 9 release on Nov. 3rd. That's at least what I'm hearing.
11/21 ship date. ordered 32 white 1:18pm

What you're hearing? You mean the people referring to the previous Nexus launch?
I'm pretty sure everyone who got an order in was given the same shipping date placeholder. As with most pre-orders like this, they are giving out a longer than anticipated ship date just in case. Ask anyone who has pre-ordered any of the other nexus phones from google.... they shipped out well before the initial placeholder date.

No. I was referring to the ship date that was cited for the N9. And my bad on not having a link, but all I'm recalling was post that was probably pure speculation anyway.
Here in Norway at proshop.no they expect it in 03.11. I have ordered mine and they say that it should be shipped from them late the 03.11.
Fun but also strange that we can have it very early. Normally its 2-3 weeks later over here.

So you spoke with them?
Leaving warehouse on 11/21/2014 but I doubt that'll hold true. Sooner if anything.
I really hope it's true that they send them out before the 21st. I was quick enough to select next day shipping too so hoping to get it ASAP.
I tried speaking directly with Google. I said to my Nexus 5, "hey google when will my nexus 6 ship?". It responded with a list of URLs that don't tell me when my Nexus 6 will ship. Guess I just have to wait.
mines says 11/21 leaves warehouse. Grr Google. i even questioned them on the tmobile release before the Google pre-order and all he said was they cant give shipping times, but the one from the Google play is unlocked and different whereas the tmobile one is branded to them

So it appears they will be branded. I was wondering about this. I'm sure the only real way to know is when they release the phone.
I managed to order one today and the ship date is still showing 11/21.
The wait is killing me. Google Y U do this to me? I want you to change my pending transaction to actual one. Please take my monies and gimme N6.

Yes. Tweakers sucks with their overbearing mods. It's so oddly formal and stodgy over there. Let's keep each other abreast of the latest!
What's wrong with Tweakers?
I don't visit their often, because I don't speak Dutch that well.
Anyway, from what I read, the pre-order won't start before November 18, 2014. I don't know if that's true.

And it would be sucks if the store only have 32GB version.

I wouldn't mind the 32gb version, owned a 64 gb htc and I never really used the extra space, don't really store a lot of pictures/music on my phone...
but my LG G3 screen just broke and it hurts to wait that long... if that's just the pre order then shipping will be at least a week later
I just hope it get released (in NLD) through Google Play, but the feeling I got after the way US got treated on the pre-orders we're pretty much screwed. Seems that on previous devices the Play Store price was (slightly) lower than with 3rd party retailers.
All I need is a confirmed date and price, so I can decide to wait for it or move on. My S3 is slowly losing it so I want to replace it in the next 2-3 months.
If it gets a release / pre-order for €565 for 32GB, then I'm buying. Midnight Blue!
32GB will be enough for me, I got the same amount on my S3 at the moment. If I need more storage, there's Drive, Dropbox, etc.
And yes, Tweakers can get a bit "formal" at times
The Nexus 9 is now available for pre-order in the NL store. I don't think I've seen a Nexus device of any sort so soon appear. Gives me a slight bit of hope at least for the appearance of the Nexus 6.
so... you're from antarctica? want to get your hands on a nexus 6? allready know where to get one?

Interesting story there. Here, the stores always refer to the manufacture's warranty and leave it up to the brand to fix or replace it. That's pretty good customer service, for Europe at least.
Retailers are obligated to handle warranty issues in the Netherlands, not the manufacturer.
Also a 2-year warranty period is issued to consumer electronics.
Based on the last few years, I think the retailers here are always late, compare to UK or Germany. But, probably that's how it works on this kind of industry, I don't know why. I bet the retailer in Germany would get it sooner.
But, checking the Nexus 9 on the Play Store The Netherlands, it is THERE available, leaving warehouse in just 1 - 2 days. And the Nexus 9 is officially on sale starting today. Thus, Play Store is not late!
I hope, this would be the same with Nexus 6. If any indication, it could be November 12, as said by T-Mobile U.S. And heard the "full review embargo" would be lifted that day as well.
We can only hope, can't we?

They provide the option of email notification when it can be ordered.

Wait, if something goes wrong with a device and it needs to be serviced or possibly replaced, what does the retailer have to do with it beyond the return date? Or, can you really bring the device in to the retailer and have them arrange service?

Yes.
According to Dutch consumer laws the retailer is obliged to extend warranty services during two years.
Either they get it fixed or replaced, that is up to retailer.
Of course, if the defect isn't covered by warranty costs may apply.
im starting to get nervous as verizon is still not listed on google play ordering page... thats extremely scary knowing how verizon works.... yes ive seen the videos where they got some of the demos devices working by inserting a verizon sim card, but that doesnt make me feel any better
It works on Verizon out of the box. It's already been confirmed.
ive talked to a couple different reps on Verizon. made it very clear to them if Verizon decides not to carry this device in stores (subsidized contract) i will not stay with Verizon any longer. i will move to tmobile. they told me they would be getting device and confirmed the nexus 6 will work on Verizon, but no specific dates. IM SO IRRITATED with how companies handle these matters... Google has announced the phone, WHY KEEP SECRETS!?

I think it might be more of a later release than not carry it at all, which still sucks
They are pushing the Droid turbo, I predict a two month delay for Verizon.

Two reasons they(verizon) could be delaying Nexus 6
1. Dont wanna hurt sales of droid turbo. (i believe this to be largest reason)
2. They wanna fiddle and add bloatware to the nexus

Agreed, they spent way too much money on those James franco turbo commercials to release 2 top tier phones so close to eachother.
Droid Turbo now, Note 4 Edge on the 14th......we will be lucky to see a VZW N6 announcement in November, more likely just before Xmas
Announcing it now would dilute sales of those other devices. They are a business. The other carriers have one less flagship phone to spread sales across because the Turbo was a VZW exclusive.
Why not buy from Motorola when they release it?
So is anyone on Verizon gonna risk and order it if they get lucky enough to catch it on the play store? My problem is they r keeping Verizon off of the play store for a reason and I can't understand why other then that version isn't gonna work after all. I want to order it but just wondering if anyone else is gonna risk it.
i talked to a verizon rep and asked if they are gonna even be making an announcement of late nov early dec something atleast!? he said as of now no information can be said or none is available, i told him thats fine i guess but i only got 1 month left on my contract and was gonna get phone outright anyway so i would jump from verizon to att if i just get my phone before hand. He said no need for that the phone will be on vzw soon lol .....but no damn date or even month ballpark

Has it been confirmed that Motorola will be selling it? Sure they have the device on their site but that doesn't mean you can buy it from them. They have droid phones listed on their site as well but when you try to buy you're directed to VZW sales page. I hope that when you try to buy from Motorola it doesn't direct you to the Google play store.
I would like to use my moto credit for the N6

I cant find anywhere that they will. I think because the turbo is a Verizon exclusive it takes you there. The rest of the phones that are multi carrier all can be bought on their site
Just got off the phone with Google
Just got off the phone with Google due to my nasty email sent to them. Some rep called me apologize for the crappy pre-order that took place last week blah blah blah... Anyway she stated that they were informed today that Google has received a much larger stock of phones and pre-orders will take place tomorrow and last longer than 5 minutes. She also confirmed that Verizon is supported when purchasing a nexus 6 google play edition.
Only their own moto phones can be purchased from them. X,G & E. Technically the Nexus 6 is Google's phone. Then again HTC sells the N9 on their site. I guess we'll just have to wait and see

I'm probably also going to go the moto credit route. At the bottom of the blog post it says:
"Nexus 6 will be available for pre-order through the Google Play Store in late October starting at $649. There are two colors to choose from - Midnight Blue or Cloud White - and two memory options - 32GB and 64GB. Nexus 6 will also be available on*motorola.com*and through carrier partners starting in November. You’ll hear from our carrier partners soon with additional pricing and availability information. In all, Nexus 6 will come to 28 countries across Europe, Asia-Pacific and North America starting later this year and as we head into Q1."
I can happily say I'll be back in the HTC One family as soon as mine ships! I managed to nab a $300 Developer edition HTC One, really excited about getting it
I'm currently back on a Nexus 5 to try Lollipop, but I'm selling it as soon as the One hits my doorstep.
Did anyone else take advantage of this sale? It wasn't as alluring as grabbing the new Nexus 9 at $199 (which, for the record, d move to do on 24 hours after releasing it), but it was still a great deal for anyone looking for a flagship phone at (probably) less than half price.
I already got a T-Mobile M8. And I was able to nab a glacier silver unlocked edition. For 299 lol. No nexus 6 for me
I got one for the sole purpose of making a profit by selling it, considering that I already have an m8 that I bought at $800 when it first came out!
Got one - I assume, the page crashed when I submitted my order, but got the order email and they charged my card, I to have the nexus 5, not sure which one I'll keep, pass the other down to my son.
Depends on which has better audio ?

Yeah I'm actually on the exact same boat right now with the nexus 5. Overall the HTC is a better phone (hardware wise - especially audio-wise, for both recording and output). There's obviously more profit to be had by just selling the One in-box though.
I've had the One before, it's an awesome phone. It just got a little too banged up without a case/skin so I traded it in. Letters came off and all that - I just never said anything in the forum. Definitely not making that mistake again though; I'm putting a thin case or skin on it.
I think I've come to the realization that even better than having the "best" or newest phone (I.e. nexus 6 or 6 plus or Note 4), is having gotten one of the best deals. So, good-enough value trumps newness. Maybe, maybe not. We'll see.
Thank you for ordering on HTC. Unfortunately, one or more of the products you ordered is currently out of stock and could not be shipped. The product(s) has been placed on backorder and will be shipped as soon as stock becomes available. You will receive another email notification when your order has actually shipped.

So I started seeing a little bit of burn-in on my device over the weekend so on Saturday I decided to call Verizon and take advantage of Google's warranty. Once I told tech support I saw burn-in he immediately confirmed my address and let me know a brand new 2 XL replacement would be there by Tuesday at the latest. (would've been overnight delivery if it weren't Saturday) Well I got my device today and low and behold, THEY SENT ME A STOCK GOOGLE VERSION! Not the Verizon version, so, MY BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED!
This is why I'm saying "potential" great news, I cannot guarantee this will be the case for everyone but I'm kinda feeling like since this is a device defect on Google's end Verizon gets their surplus replacements from Google themself, meaning there is a high chance all replacement devices, at least for the time being, will be basically the same unlocked version you buy directly from the Google Store.
Anyone else have a similar experience?
Proof.

Nice, I was super happy when I saw this since I didn't realize Verizon were going to be idiots and lock down the bootloader. I didn't get the original Pixel XL because I only upgrade every two years and every other Nexus device I've owned through Verizon still had an unlock option for the bootloader in the developer options so I assumed this one would be no different.
I just sent mine in for same reason, they tried to send me to Verizon but I wouldn't let them. Phones on it's way to Google, hopefully I get Google version back instead of Verizon one

Why did you send your phone in first? You make them send you a device so you can transfer your data and then send it back. I still have my other XL 2. When I called Verizon I told them I want my new device first and they said that would be fine.

Dude, there is no payment needed at all to replace your phone through Verizon. I called them, told them I had burn-in, they setup a new phone to be overnight delivered and I got it today. That was it. I don't know who you talked to but there is no taxes required on getting a replacement due to a factory defect.
Yeah I think the guy I talked to was an idiot and didn't know what he was doing. Oh well, I have a note 8 and will have a unlocked bootloader in a week.

The thing that sucks is I gotta send my pixel 2 xl first and once they receive it Google will send me a brand new 1...sucks but I'm gonna do it...just sucks I'll have to use an old Motorola Z Droid Play lol and I'm going to NYC for vacation next week and won't have my pretty Pixel 2 XL once I send it in

Um, no reason you have to send your device in. Whoever you talked to at Verizon is a moron. I called Verizon tech support and he told me there would be a package along with my replacement to send my defective device back in once I received the replacement. That way I am able to transfer my data. I'd suggest calling Verizon back.

Verizon told me the same thing, it was Google who asked for phone first

Did your phone come from a Verizon store or from Google?

I purchased my device through Verizon, I've specified this multiple times by saying I called Verizon for my replacement.

So I started seeing a little bit of burn-in on my device over the weekend so on Saturday I decided to call Verizon and take advantage of Google's warranty. Once I told tech support I saw burn-in he immediately confirmed my address and let me know a brand new 2 XL replacement would be there by Tuesday at the latest. (would've been overnight delivery if it weren't Saturday) Well I got my device today and low and behold, THEY SENT ME A STOCK GOOGLE VERSION! Not the Verizon version, so, MY BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED!
This is why I'm saying "potential" great news, I cannot guarantee this will be the case for everyone but I'm kinda feeling like since this is a device defect on Google's end Verizon gets their surplus replacements from Google themself, meaning there is a high chance all replacement devices, at least for the time being, will be basically the same unlocked version you buy directly from the Google Store.
Anyone else have a similar experience?

Wherever Verizon gets their devices from. Like I said, I'm thinking they might be getting their 2 XL's straight from Google because of the issues so that Google is able to oversee damage control. I don't know for sure though. All I know is I purchased my original device through Verizon and talked to a Verizon tech rep to get my replacement. The replacement I received was unlocked.
