Support NeoGAF

[Courage]

I'm waiting for T-Mobile.

Same here.

 

[whatsinaname]

What's different in the T-Mobile version?

 

[aznpxdd]

T-Minus 2 minutes?

What's different in the T-Mobile version?

We're just waiting for T-Mobile to open preorders. I'd much rather get a Nexus 6 on installment with nothing down up front than paying $650+ all at once.

 

[fluffydelusions]

So it's like 9am Google time now...

Ah, ok. I though it might have to do with support for different bands or something.

Yep. Especially because of JUMP.

 

[Ty4on]

I took that to be more of a comment on the display saturation than the brightness.

Basic mode was fairly accurate in the S5 so that might be stock on the Nexus 6. Max brightness will likely be meh with decent boosted brightness like recent AMOLED phones.

 

[sdijoseph]

I think 1 pm EST is more likely, that is when they put up the Nexus announcement blog post.

Again, there are no preorders on T-Mobile. This is confirmed.

Also, they may only stock the blue color only, both in store (32gb only) and online (64gb).

 

[Haint]

Do the Play Store (yep it does) and Tmobile both charge tax? Anywhere going to be selling that doesn't?

I don't know if it depends on state, but both the Play store and T-Mobile charge tax in NY.

Any idea if Tmo charges it per month on the installment plan too?

I recently bought an HTC One M8 from Tmo on the payment installment plan.

All tax was paid up front.

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I'm out, not flushing $70 down the toilet.

 

[BoboBrazil]

After tax its $700+. I'm out.

What do you mean?

You were in @ $700 but not $700 + tax? Sales tax isn't new.

 

[Vanillalite]

I could be wrong, but I think they have to collect taxes up front due to the way taxes and shit work.

 

[Draper]

Yeah, its a hard pill to swallow. Especially when you can get a new iPhone in the same price range with a presumably much better camera.

Still on the fence...

 

[Haint]

I haven't bought an item over $300 outside of Amazon in over 5 years. I would be game, barely and begrudgingly, for $649, but not $730 or whatever Google would charge after Tax and their forced 2 day shipping.

 

[DrFunk]

GSM Arena hands-on

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Yeah, its a hard pill to swallow. Especially when you can get a new iPhone in the same price range with a presumably much better camera.

Still on the fence...

But it's an iPhone...

Looks like my company might be buying me one, but not for a couple of more weeks. I'm pretty happy about that. I should be able to sell my M7, but might keep it as a backup. We'll see. Usually I hang onto phones for a backup and then it's never actually necessary.

He was never in to begin with. He's been banging the "One Plus One is the bestest evah" drum since the N6 was announced.

Bu, the iPhone doesn't run Android.

 

[Draper]

Yeah, and that's the one catch. iOS is really stale.

Understood, but by that reasoning you've been out from the beginning, even at $650 flat.

Also, depending on your state, sales tax will likely be around 30-40 bucks and I believe Google's 2-day shipping is usually $10-$12, so your estimate of +$80 is slightly exaggerated.

Sales tax is 10% here unfortunately (there is a reason I haven't spent over $300 outside of non-taxed etailers), so it would be $65 + the shipping. So maybe $725 to be exact.

 

[thuway]

So you can preorder off the ATT store and use that upgrade on your account?

 

[_illmatic_]

Gonna pull the trigger on this eventually. Just rather read some reviews first.

 

[NotBacon]

$660 with shipping and no tax. Portland,OR master race.

 

[Tripon]

T-Mobile also dies WiFi calling on all phones bought by them. They will also give you a signal booster if your connection is too weak for a $25 deposit, which I did last week.

 

[Jzero]

~$712 with tax in California. I hate paying for shipping, I wish they sold it on Amazon.

 

[thuway]

Yeah the tax will be killer here in Washington, I'm hoping to hear some good news about ATT pricing.

That's not what the CSR told me yesterday. That would be some shit if I had to go in store and buy one on release day.

Not true. I was going to get one to test out for a couple of weeks and keep it if I liked it and sell my OPO. With an extra $70 on top of 649 it just isn't worth it to me with the performance difference.

 

[Trouble]

Pre-orders are up, ships in 3-4 weeks. :/

Edit:
Also, anyone know the |OT| rules here? I have the OT ready to go, but we aren't a week away from it being released.

Try not to over think it. These are mobile devices. These things lose their value at the drop of a hat. Every major mobile device I know, minus the iPhone drops to near 30% off on the used market within 3 months.

 

[Jzero]

$717.40 in total. Decided not to get 2 day shipping this time.

 

[NotBacon]

Damn, seriously? Missed it by minutes.

 

[Trouble]

Damn. Missed it by minutes.

That was quick. Like really quick.

where at? I don't see anything on the Play Store.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

It sold out in MINUTES? You had an hour to get he iPhone. Seriously...

 

[thuway]

Eh that was a ridiculously small batch if the preorders really did begin. I'm showing sold out, but that was near stupid levels of sell out speed.

 

[BoboBrazil]

How are preorders already over? Lol

 

[fluffydelusions]

out of inventory?

 

[FallingEdge]

I still see coming soon.

 

[Nastrodamous]

What the fuck google

 

[thuway]

Is there an ATT store link as well?

 

[Trouble]

64GB just says 'coming soon' now, too.

 

[whatsinaname]

WTF?

I was just away for five mins.

 

[Trouble]

Coming up sometimes when I refresh the page.
