Purchasing TONIGHT! - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am returning my graphite 32gb and going to upgrade to a 64gb. Only question is, now with Gold out I am on the fence. I originally wanted white but didn't want to spend for a 64gb. Now I am not sure if I should stay with white or go with gold. Anyone have gold? If so, what are your opinions/thoughts?
Thanks

I love the gold. Returned my 128GB Alum. The gold looks very nice

I'm assuming "white" here means Frost? In that case, it's true that you can't get a Frost 32GB since it's always out of stock (?). I'm having a Frost 64GB with Spigen Rugged Armor and the look is fantastic But you can go with Gold if you don't want a 64GB white. Also, if you're planning for a Gold, I'm guessing that you don't use any case at all? Because Gold would look best without cases :good:

Graphite, frost or gold. Anyone of the three. Aluminum is the least desired.

Nexus 6P Frost out of stock. How long to wait?

Hello.
Looks like Nexus 6P color frost is currently out of stock.
Do you think they will be able to buy again before the 25th of oct. ? (Last day of the PlayStore/PlayMusic offer).
Huawei doesn't have the frost version so there's no more options.
No one knows, but If it's like last year's Nexus6 out of stock, then maybe January 2016.
There appears to be a wait list in place now. Based on some of the polls around Frost seemed to be the least popular, so this doesn't make sense.

Well, based on threads here and elsewhere quite a few persons have switched to frost myself included. After watching many previews and hands ons, frost just stands out and looks so good that I and many others have switched. I think google didn't expect the demand and may have planned to manufacture less of it that the others.

Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't the white version always been a Play Store Exclusive?

That's unfortunate!
Something is up with that color as it is the only one lacking the lower storage option. I don't think it's a stretch to imagine reasons why that might get sold out quickly if they are already limiting configuration options from the get go.
I don't know if it's related, but Japan pre-order opened last night.
Why is there no 32gb variant of the Frost White? I never realized that.

32gb isnt popular and the white color demand another process because white anodized aluminium doesnt exist.

32gb isn't popular according to whom? The Graphite and Aluminum both have this variant....as do countless other fixed storage devices.
yeah, graphite and aluminium are anodized. white isnt anodized. maybe that require more process and cost more?
If Frost coating is not made from anodized process, then I'd wonder about how it holds up to scratches. Unless there's a process that can produce a harder coating than anodized process.
this is curious. so "everyone" who ordered graphite and AL models got random ship dates, all over the spectrum, but in the waiting room, you'd see reports of people ordering white and getting much earlier ship dates. now the white is OOS.
i just ordered (another) AL last night and i got the same ship date for my first order.
I dont know if order an AL and maybe frost comes again so I switch...
Google always fail in marketing -_-
So glad i ordered my 64GB frost on day 1.... lol
If you have access to project fi you can get a frost there

New Pool, wich color do you ordered?

many people changed their pre-order, so I'd like to do a new survey to be more up to date compare to the old one.

I just love the sleek aluminium look.
Alum 64gb

Graphite, 128gb beast.....
64gb #graphitebros
I switched originally went graphite, changed to frost
32GB, Aluminum. No need for anything more than 32GB as I don't store much on my phone. And I think the Aluminum backing looks the good, I love the Graphite too but I worry about scratches showing easily since it's brushed over aluminum.
64GB #FrostGiant
Not sure how yours is different fro this existing thread.

Hmm - 32gb frost was never an option.
I went for 32gb Graphite
28-30th October.

Gold Note 5 Officially available in the US now - TMobile only

For those interested, the gold note 5 is available on TMO now.
http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/samsung-galaxy-note5.html
Bummer. I wish ATT would have this soon.
The one I wanted...but on vzw. GF got the edge+ in gold and the front is gorgeous
Kind of annoying they didn't have this 2 weeks ago when I got my white one.
Anyone familiar with jump on demand here? I have the blue note 5, could I "jump" to the gold version?
The gold Note 5 is available on Sprint as well.
Just got one today. Woot! They got 2 64GB gold models in today while I was standing there. Ha-ha. The T-Mobile guy asked if I had about 10mins to wait because he wanted to show me the gold model if I was ibterested, and I said I'll take it. He put the black one back and an employee got the other one. Not really that much gold though...more like a yellowish chrome kinda but definitely cool looking. Glad I waited for him to inventory it and snag it for me.
It's finally available on AT&T

I just jumped from the N4 to the gold 64gb N5 and it's definitely one of the most visually appealing devices I've ever had. I've a lot of white lately but the gold is where it's at.

I think sprint just got the gold option recently as well. I really wish they would have brought the emerald green over to the us in the note and s6 line. That green on the s6 edge overseas was just sexy as hell
Too bad they opened up with the 2 most boring colors. I would have got the gold if it was available at the time.

Late on this one, but in case anyone was wondering: I was told this doesn't work UNLESS you jump to a different memory size. It was from a phone rep so take it with a grain of salt
Verizon has it now as well but only 32GB, like the white one. The black is through only 64GB for some stupid reason.
If verizon had the gold 64GB I'd change my black for the gold...I love that phone in gold

I love it

Will anyone sell their current 6P for the Special Edition?

With Google only announcing the Gold color for Korean market, I wasnt happy because I wanted it, but I went ahead and purchased the frost white.
Now stupid Google is going to bring it over to NA... WHY GOOGLE
Im debating to get it or not.. I know its the same phone.. gold is too bling bling.. blah blah... lol...
it's a color.

It's going to be expensive if you go that route; but if it makes you happier, go for it.
I wouldn't. But then I had waited to pick up a Graphite over the Frost & Aluminium.
No. Aluminum is the choice for me from all the 4 colors!
Matches my MacBook and generally looks elegant yet eye catching. Like it.
Also I really don't like gold phones..
But if you want that color and it's so important, go for it.
Mine is in a case 99% of the time so I'll stick to my Aluminum.
Still like graphite the best then frost. The aluminum just looks cheap and I'm not a fan of gold at all.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Also Aluminum ftw!
The gold 6p will also cost more. I think I'm going to stay with my silver.
If you are Armenian, go for the gold! Gold is best!

If you are not Armenian, keep what you have. Its still an awesome phone
Graphite and Gold are the normal variants here in the Philippines. Silver and Frost are the special editions because they're not available through official channels here currently.

What color?

I can only seem to find the Titan Gray color in photos and videos. Even if the silver is shown, it isn't shown in detail, so I can't get a good look at it.
So now I'm curious:
What color seems to be the most desired from XDA users? (What color will you be getting?)
I used to always get black phones, but if there's an unusual color, like red, purple, or the Note7's Coral Blue which I have), then I'll get that. I never get gold. I don't know why, but I don't like gold.

silver! looks great

I ordered a grey one. I had a white phone the last few years so I wanted something else. Too bad they didn't have gold though. I was really thinking to go with that color if they offered it.
Silver
Probably silver, really like my aluminum looking Nexus6 P!
Going titan, closes thing to black
Wow this thread is so racist, don't you know the phone can identify as whatever color it feels it is? After all, it's ((((current year))))
I'm going with whatever color my carrier has available for pre-order Monday.
Most of us buying from a carrier probably won't have a color choice.
I guess I'll be getting what t-mobile is carrying...

Yeah,that's how it was w/T-Mobile's HTC 10 (& previous iterations as well,I believe).
As for LG,we should know something as soon as pre-orders start.
FWIW,the G5 has two color choices,but,at least in my area,on launch,only one color was available/in-stock.
This is the only reason I may pre-order,& AFAICT,there's no way to find out what choices the stores are going to have on-hand on 10/28.
Whatever T-Mobile will have Monday to pre-order.

silver all day baby. the contrast it has with the dark screen looks like sex
Silver. From what I can tell in videos it's actually more metallic looking than the get g5. The titan colored v20 also looks darker than the titan g5. I'm really looking forward to seeing them in person hopefully tomorrow.

just ordered mine. 12 am EST. all they currently had available for pre-order was the titan. which is the color i wanted anyways
Probably silver.
However, I'd like to wait until pre rooted tot or dz ROM released.
I will trade V10 in.
I am getting my Titan(black) V20 today.
I was hoping that after seeing what color others here were getting, then maybe I'd be able to make a decision, lol.
For those of you who got the silver version, is the color actually silver, or is it really just white but CALLED silver
Does the front silver parts match the color of the back?
And is the silver like a brushed aluminum?
I LOVE the color combination of blue and silver, so I was thinking of getting silver and putting on a blue case. The case will obviously cover the back, so I'm hoping the the front will still be silver and not an white color.

I have had the Titan colored one since October 29th..... they didn't have Silver in stock when I went to look at it. Just saw the silver yesterday and it definitely looks nice. Now I am having buyer's remorse for not picking/waiting for it..... should I take a hit ($) and trade back in on the silver? Its past 14 days, so I am not sure what Verizon will do if I do that? Are there any polls showing which is selling better: Tittan vs Silver?
I have the rose gold/pink one.
