Refurbished phone?

I've never had one, but what are the chances of being just as good as a new one? It has to be 100% right? There wouldn't be any scratches or anything like that.. I'm receiving one in a few days, I have 7 days to return and just keep the one I bought new when it was release.. And what chances are of me getting a newer rev? I have rev10.. Got it 4 days after release..

If you have a Garmin GPS refurbished by them, it will come with a new case and screen. I have never had a phone refurbished to these standards, but I guess it all depends on who does the refurbing. There are a lot of "third party" refurbers like PDA Giant and my experience is that they suck. Bought a Nexus One from one and it had dead camera, flash, and proximity sensor... so much for thorough testing. A second one I bought through Best Buy had a bad digitizer. Both screens had minor scratches.

Well mines coming from T-Mobile.. I also bought this nexus 4 through them at retail store..

Now on UK Play Store!

Just a heads up you can now pre-order on the UK play store, though annoyingly sand isn't available.

It certainly is! I've just ordered the 16gb in black. The sand version is yet to be made available but it's showing as only available in 32gb. The standard cases are £35 and the keyboard is £110, both not available.

I wanted the sand one but I'm too impatient so I've ordered at 32GB white model, I'll opt for the £35 cover once it's available, I don't think I'd really use the keyboard and it's far too overpriced!

I was considering the 32gb but thankfully I have a Three OnePlan SIM and live in a 4G area so I am pretty well covered for streaming and using Google Drive etc.
Enjoy your tablet!

£400 for the 32GB version. The Nexus 6 is going to be £600 at this rate.

It won't be far from it. And yet the nexus 6 was in my original plans to buy! But no where at that price!

Need to sell my lg g pad.. Hardly used it. Also have a nexus 7 2013 which I haven't used much.... But I still want to get the nexus 9.
I'm a sucker for nexus products.

Am I the only one who thinks the P&P of £9.99 is kinda ridicules ?

You're not, I had the same reaction, especially considering it doesn't state it as a next day delivery service.

It makes me laugh how they call it next day yet it's a pre order.

Bit the bullet and pre-ordered a 32GB black from Amazon, even though the £399 price is a bit ludicrous. I suppose I'll get a fair few years of usage out of it and it'll receive timely updates OTA so there's that.

Few years wow, about 6 months for me ?

Yeah, I normally chop and change devices, but I want to get value out of my purchase this time around. Nexus 5 32GB and Nexus 9 32GB, perfect combo.

Has anyone seen anything about it coming to John Lewis yet?

I'm doing my best to resist buying the Nexus 6, normally I change more than once a year but I can't really fault my Nexus 5 atm I just want new for the sake of new!

Pre-ordered the 9 this morning, just waiting to see on the N6, I'll hopefully be able to grab one from CPW rather than wait potentially a few weeks from the playstore. I am also (for the record) happy with my N5, I use it more than my three devices. (OPO, G3) but the N6 is shiny and new and is a MUST have

Yeah if I get one it'll probably be from CPW, I preordered the N5 from the play store last year but ended up grabbing one from CPW on launch day.

i asked some one who works in carphonewarehouse and he told me that EE will have exclusivity for however long... and he said you might aswell just buy it from the play store outright.
so maybe they wont allow people to buy the phone outright?
just rumors.

Nexus 6 is $199 At Amazon!

http://amzn.com/B00R1984DI
In white and blue!

I think we are going to be getting a flood of new visitors to this portion of the forum.

Just picked up this deal. One plus one user here.

New AND old.
I'm coming back after leaving for 6p.
I gave away my old n6, but at this price, I'm definitely coming back and returning the 6p.

Aaaaaaand I picked up one also.
At this price it is awesome as insurance in case I brick/drop/loose mine.

I just picked up a 64gb for $259 on amazon because I bought my 32gb a couple weeks ago for $350.

Yup! You beat me to it! lol. I just came here to post.
64GB is $259.99! Both Midnight Blue and Cloud White!

Just picked a 64 up. Been an HTC supporter for years, but curious to try Nexus. I'll play with it and really can't lose. If I hate it, I'll return it to Amazon, and if I love it, I can sell my M9 for more than I paid for the Nexus.
I really wanted the 6P for awhile, but quality issues according to the xda forum, and not trusting Huawei yet kept me from taking the plunge.
I have never had a pure Android phone, although I've run AOSP and Cyanogen Roms on my various HTC devices. I'm scared I'm going to want to keep both...D'oh!

Going to be a lot of pissed off people that bought one very recently. It kind of sucks when this happens for people that paid full price, but that is life! Although, if you can still return it... I'm not going to lie, if in the past 30 days I paid $399 for a 64gb Nexus 6, I would order another RIGHT NOW and then return my original for refund. Yup, I'm that guy. That's $150... If it was $50 or less I wouldn't waste my time but $150 and a shiny new, dust free speakers. Hell yeah.
I can't complain, I bought a 32GB blue 2 months ago for $300, then when I sent it in to Motorola I got them to send me a 64GB White instead. (Long story)

Just ordered a 64 gb white for 259.

They are selling out fast! As of right now, only 64gb Blue is in stock for the sale by Amazon.

All gone.

I picked a 64gb up in midnight blue. Can't wait as this is my first Nexus phone.

Must be sold out for now. Kind of pissed I am paying $20/mo to project fi for mine, and still owe $400.

How come you're returning the 6p, if you don't mind me asking.

The 64GB version is still around 550-600 USD in the EU on Amazon
Just bought a one month old blue 64GB model for 360 USD, sick and tired of the Huawei EMUI on the Mate 7 though the batterylife was awesome.

I have the 6P, returning it as I got in on this deal and managed to score a few for friends and family.
For me, my Nexus 6P cost just under $900 cdn for the 128 gb model. Switching to the Nexus 6 64 gb, my phone is now only about $340 cdn funds so that is my main reasoning for the switch. Looking forward to getting mine!

Is the 6P a big improvement over the 6 in your opinion?

Not sure yet as I haven't owned a Nexus 6 yet, just the 6P. The 6P was a great phone, really snappy and feels great in the hand, I will let you know when I get the 6

Should I buy a Nexus 6P

I am in the market for a new phone and would like to know if I should get a nexus 6p. I like to do custom roms and experiment with roms and stuff recently had the lg g3 but that was a nightmare for custom roms.
I am hearing that the Pixel phone will not be rootable but what phone is out of the box.
I have some bestbuy gift cards and they have the 6p i was going to get the 64gb version but I am torn between waiting for the pixel release to see if its worth it or just get the 6P any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
I have sprint and it works great for me so that is just more info I even looked at the axeon but its not supported by sprint.

You could wait only another week October 4... Here's some interesting posts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/upgrade-to-2016-nexus-marlin-t3417724

Either way you should wait. As soon as the new Pixel phones are released the 6P will drop in price, both online and on the street.

I don't care what people say this galxy s7 suxs tried to take a video and phone locked up. Can't wait to get a nexus phone

I Would wait for a while until the pixel phones get released.

Any opinions on this now that the pixel xl has debut

No Pixel overpriced and outdated toys for me. Not in the same league as the Nexus6 & 6p or the upcoming Mate9, V20, Asus 3 Deluxe, etc.!

I got a 64gb 6P not long after launch. I dropped my phone a few times so Im gonna wait until the Pixel gets released and get the 128gb 6P....Pixel is overpriced smh

Well i guess google is also trying to get rid op the 6P... i just ordered the 6p 32gb variant, I also have the LG G3 D855 and i was loving al the custom roms still love the speed of the G3 on custom roms, its still fast enough... but after 2 years i want something new and the OP3 i have to pay 400 euros and now i pay monthly and the screen is too small of the OP3. Axon is still not in my country and also i have to pay around the 400. I will pick it up tomorrow morning

I went from the LG G3 to the Nexus 6P a couple of months ago and I do not regret it. I also have had a Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 5 and I really missed the pure Android experience. Congrats on your purchase, you won't be disappointed.

I hope so wasnt sure about the frost but it will be in a case from day one anyways
I wanted the 128gb so I could split the partition in half and have one for play and one for testing

buy it, it is the best phone there is (for me at least it is).
before i bought my 6p i already knew about the pixel, that it was coming out and well i didnt wait to buy that one because it has (no stereo front facing speakers/somewhat smaller screen, and looked way inferior design wise compared to the sexy 6p).
i have bought the silver 6p and boy is it seksey , i am very happy with it, there are alot of custom roms and kernels to play around with whenever you want to.
and a good handful of mods, and we are getting nougat.
i would recommend it, superb phone.

How cheap?

I think about $480

Just sold mine for $400 I loved the dev support but not a big fan of the phone itself.

Mine will be going on Swappa as soon as I can order a black 128GB Pixel XL.
The 6P is a really good phone but after using my wife's Pixel XL I have now been spoiled by the overall smoothness.

Cheap pixel c!!

HEY!! There's an eBay seller who's got em (brand new somehow?!) For $114.99 with keyboards at 29.99
I don't understand but I'm not complaining and I bought one.

Definitely will, it says guaranteed delivery by the 9th. It's a reputable seller so I'm pretty sure it's going to be legit.

I just received mine, brand new pixel c and brand new keyboard. It is the eu model , so you'll need a new charger

I saw this and ordered a keyboard to go with my Pixel C . . . amazing good from the seller. I have a feeling the units are refurbs, since a well done refurb can be sold as NEW if they include the original box. I used to work with an e-commerce company as their web designer/marketing and they sold parts and electronics. They did the same thing. But I got the keyboard and it is amazing condition and works. It just needed a charge which can be done by just closing the tablet with the keyboard on it. The keyboard is a full stand dock too.

Got mine! Eu model so 5GHZ wifi won't do channel 149, but it's smooth and brand new. Pretty dope.
