Was briefly available to order on Google Play today. Got my order in. Says 3/4 weeks delivery.

After a lot of fking about with CPW, my order is out for delivery today. They changed it to the 32gb to get it to me faster after I kicked up a fuss, but I guess it'll be OK - I'm a bit disappointed with that.

Looking forward to seeing it.

Despite my misgivings re the size above, having set up an iphone 6 plus for the gaffer I don't think size is quite the issue I feared. The iphone 6 plus is a very nice device - if only it ran lollipop. hehe

Agreed. the 6+ is great. If it didn't lag, I'd have kept mine. Lovely size for viewing Reddit and watching nerdy videos.

Hopefully the Nex6 can do the same.

My Google Play order status says "To be despatched from warehouse on 24/12/2014"

So just (nearly) in time for Christmas then!

Interested to find out how your getting on with it. I know it's early days for you. How's the battery holding up and what have you found with it being a large phone? to big? or just right?

I'm interested in battery life too, as that is one of my only complaints with the Nexus 5.

First impressions are pretty good - phone feels nice and solid, and isn't as heavy as I thought it would be. Screen is bright enough, and looks crisp.

That said, my top speaker seems to crackle a lot after and before playing a noise, which is really irritating - I'm thinking it might be worth RMAing the phone as it's not exactly a budget one like the N5!

Edit, someone on another forum sums it up well:

"As he said, the white noise just seems to be a byproduct of the speaker turning on. With my 4th Nexus 6 device, I can attribute this being a software issue as I do not believe I have such bad luck that all 3 previous devices have the SAME hardware issue. Basically, the white noise comes after the speaker is turned on/off. If you have the phone charging, the white noise is less likely to occur (but it still does sometimes, I've tested). When the battery drops below 20%, the white noise gets louder."

Does anyone else with a N6 have the same issue?

Mine seems ok. It is big, even coming from a Note 2 but fits in my pocket and everywhere else.

My big challenge is learning how it all works after 4 years of Samsung devices. I'm getting there slowly. Its a bit early to tell how it copes with battery usage but so far it seems more than fine.

My next challenge is working how my Moto 360 works too!

Called CPW, happy to exchange it apparently, so sent Nicky over to reading to swap it. Fingers crossed their store is as good as the guy on the customer support line.

Everything apart from my sound issue, the phone totally rocks. Great screen, nice solid feel.

My Nexus 6 arrived on Wednesday (although I didn't get it until yesterday due to it being delivered when no-one was home).

Just noticed a deep scratch on the screen. I have never scratched a phone screen in my life! It was either there already under the shipping screen protector, or the screen scratches very easily, as I always treat my phones very carefully. It has been in my jacket pocket and nowhere else since I put the SIM in this morning.

Phoned Google, and they are sending a replacement which I will inspect with a magnifying glass on opening!
