And the wait continues. It's okay, I have $750 placed aside for the N6. If it's not good, I'll just opt for another phone.
Google Nexus 6 ($650) and Nexus 9 (Tegra K1, 8.9", $399 for 16GB) Announced

For the Nexus 9, maybe. I haven't seen anyone say it applies to the Nexus 6 tho. Link?
This says that full reviews are embargoed until the 12th. I'd like to see more detail on the screen + camera to help me choose between this and the Note 4.

I don't know whether this has been posted already, but it's definitely worth sharing. The improvement is nothing short of insane.
Between this and Project Volta, I'm closer and closer to think that the Moto X will get a HUGE boost by only updating to Lollipop, basically becoming the smaller Nexus.

Massive grain of salt, but...

T mobile we know about but ATT and Verizon are the ones everyone care about. Sprint can go pound sand.
So I'm currently on Verizon on a family plan and my contract ends next year, but if I want to transfer to T-Mobile and get the Nexus 6 how much would I pay monthly? I'm looking at the $30/mo plan but I know they add the amount of the phone your paying for in addition to the plan so how much does that come out to?
Also do you guys know how I would go about cancelling my contract and having T-Mobile cover the cancellation fee since I'm on a family plan?

The Nexus 5's camera was easily on par with if joy better than the iPhone 5's in early photo tests. Then people started actually using it and it was a whole other story.
I trust the Nexus 6 is going to be top tier to go along with the new pricing, but that doesn't stop these tests from being bad so far. I want to see a proper assessment

T-mobile only pays your ETF if you go with one of their normal plans (i.e. not the $30 plan). Same with monthly phone payments, if you go with the $30 plan you have to get the phone yourself.
Call T-Mobile and they'll help you out with the cancellation.
As for how much you'd be paying monthly, probably around ~$27/mo plus any other fees on the plan.

You want it to be one way
But it's the other way
I'd be glad to see that, yeah.
And I am fairly confident that the premises are there.
Thank you both! I'll definitely head to a T-Mobile store and check out what options they have.

It's going to be very difficult to decide between this, the iPad Air 2 and a 8" Windows 8.1 Tablet!

Let me know if there's a 20% off Coupon like last year with Office Max and Nexus 7. 
F the airpad 2. Nexus 9 or death!
? iPad Air 2 and Nexus 9 are pretty close (slight edge to iPad Air 2) in all benchmarks and specs. It's not like one is drastically better than the other at all.
Its Apple and iOS 8 so therefore the inferior product.

Still no sign of the Nexus 6
Yeah, kind of sucks. I want to order.
That's FUD and you know it. Web apps and converted iOS apps have been a staple of Android now and there really isn't decernable to casuals.
As to the hardware comment, its their first shot at premium so I give them some latitude.

I would be absolutely SHOCKED if the Nexus 6 went back on sale before the carrier sales began next week.
There is no app situation, this is a myth.
Edit: except for no Android version of 80 days yet ;_;
Yeah you can leave but if you finance through them you would have to pay the remaining balance on the phone.
Apparently the $30 plan is only for new customers, so you can't switch from another T-mobile plan. You would have to port out to another carrier, then port back in to the $30 plan.
That's amazing if it's real! Makes me a lot more excited for the N6 :3
Edit: The moto maxx looks so good *-* way better without the hideous Verizon branding. Yuck

Is this better/worse/equal to the Sony Xperia Z3?
This will be my first Android phone so I don't want to screw up.

Depends where your priorities lie. The Xperia Z3 likely has a better battery (though jury is still out on the N6 battery), is more water resistant and is smaller. N6 has a bigger screen, which is either an advantage or disadvantage depending on what you want, and has stock Android and will have the latest software updates first. They both seem to be great phones, it'll likely come down to your size preference.

Thanks. I love that the Z3 is waterproof, so I'm leaning in that direction. I just want to make sure it hasn't become obsolete in the week or so it has been out, lol.
Depends on what you want.
For a dead-simple just-works phone, that's fast and smooth, get the N6.
If you don't mind spending some time tweaking settings, disabling junk, and dealing with quirks, then the Z3 is also a fine choice (with possibly longer battery life).
As someone who has been checking for a while, that page has been there for at least a week.
Its getting mixed reviews. Some very good ones and some not quite.
November 12th, according the T Mobile.
Ah, thanks. Hunted down the press release. OT goes up Weds, then.

Sounds like HTC kind of dropped the ball on the design. I wonder how the screen compares to the last Nexus 7? Would be ridiculous if the N9 is more washed out.
I think you're implying that the Nexus 7 (2013) display is washed out. It's actually one of the best calibrated LCD displays on a mobile device with very solid color reproduction.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7231/the-nexus-7-2013-review
Despite all of its apparent quirks, I anticipate the N9 will continue the recent Nexus streak of quality, well-calibrated LCD panels.

My bad. I didn't mean to imply that the N7 was washed out to begin with. Hell no. The screen on that device is fantastic.
Given that some reviewers are criticizing things in the device that others have no problem with (battery and performance), I'm not really sure who to believe right now.
Here's the summary so far (condensed from multiple reviews):
- It has amazing performance, no hiccups, it just flies. Also there is lag everywhere, and there are pauses all the time.
- Build quality is top notch. It's also cheap feeling and creaks.
- Battery life is phenomenal. It is also subpar.
