The Nexus 6 is the same on all carriers. The only noticeable difference is the AT&T variant is Sim locked to AT&T. The only difference in Nexus 6 devices is the domestic and international models.

The only real difference is that the Verizon branded N6's IMEI is whitelisted on their (VZW) system. Means that you can get a SIM from them without problem, and that you will get your BYOD discount on Edge (if you pay full price).

You can use it in Turkey, but most likely you will not be able to connect to LTE. The US carriers use different bands for LTE vs the rest of the world. I'd suggest that you would be better off with the 1100 "world" model.
Edit: but the 1100 won't connect to LTE in the US. So you will have to decide where LTE service is most important. US or the rest of the world. Unfortunately, you can't have both.

I'm afraid I can't answer that, as I am in the USA. I would suggest you ask your cellular provider first. I would say that you would most likely need the international model as it has the hardware needed for the signals used in that market. XT1100 is the model number.

Locked or Unlocked?

I live in Greece and as i saw in German media markt and saturn the price of nexus 6 in europe will be 569 and 649 for 32 and 64 versions. I have an uncle in the states and he can buy the phone from at&t or t-mobile cheaper and send it to me. Will the phone be unlocked? Would i be able to use it? If its locked, is there any way to unlock it so i can use it in Greece?
Thank you guys in advance
It's a Nexus, so yes it will be unlocked.

Yeah, all Nexus phones purchased from Google are unlocked. I'm not sure what's going to happen with the carrier branded ones this time around though as this is the first time Google has marketed a Nexus as a premium device to compete with all the other flagships. I don't think ones bought from carriers will be locked, but that's just a guess. As long as it's purchased from the Play store, and as long as the bands are compatible, as nexus6R3plicant mentioned, then you'll have no issues getting it to work.

Nexus 6 radios questions

From my understanding that all nexus 6 are the same no matter what carrier you buy from or Google Play. I have Verizon. My question is.. If I buy from another carrier sprint or t-mobile and I just pop my sim in shouldn't Lte and everything else work? Or will the radio bands vary on different carriers?
I think it would be work.
So far T-Mobile confirm it that is not locked on network and it's unlock phone.
But I'm not sure about the AT&T and other carrier.

Yes, it will work if you buy from any carrier. The model droid-life received was a T-Mobile unit, but they confirmed it worked with Verizon, including 4G. (http://www.droid-life.com/2014/10/31/nexus-6-working-on-verizon-out-of-the-box/)
I just got my pre-order in on Play Store.

I don't see anywhere in the article or video where they say their N6 was a T-Mobile unit. I'd be interested to hear that vzw has imei numbers sold from T-Mobile white listed in vzw databases.
A N6 bought from play/moto/vzw should have their imei white listed for vzw, I just haven't heard that is the case with N6 sold by other carriers.

In their unboxing video, you can see the box right before they open it. and it shows the phone is for t mobile. It says "T-MOB".
Wow, that's good news, thx.

While it will work with other carriers, T-Mobile will not be selling the Nexus 6 right out at launch. Only new plan customers or current plan customers can purchase the N6 for the foreseeable future.
Your best bet is to wait for your carrier to come out with it, or try ordering from Google Play/Amazon.

[Q] What's the difference between the unlocked and T-Mobile Nexus 6?

What's the difference between the unlocked and T-Mobile Nexus 6? Do they have the same bands? Does the T-Mobile model receive updates at the same time as the unlocked model?
The only difference is where to choose to buy it from.
They are identical. The T-Mobile-sold phones are unlocked as well.
No difference. period.
I've TMobile Nexus 6
Only difference is that T Mobile includes a TMo Nano SIM in the sim tray.

Absolutely positive. T-Mobile-sold Nexus 6 devices are 100% not carrier locked.

It depends where "overseas".
If it's in the Americas, then the T-Mobile version XT1103 is just fine.
If it's in other continents you may want to consider the global version XT1100 due to the different LTE bands.
You can see the details about the LTE bands supported by each model here: http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/nexus-6-header/Nexus-6/nexus-6-motorola-us.html#nexus-6-specs

Hi guys Telenor Sweden has offered me a pretty good deal on the nexus 6 and I was thinking about getting the phone. But the contract interest my wife more than me, so I thought ill give her the simcard and unlock the phone to use with my tele2 simcard. Is it possible to carrier unlock the nexus 6 ? Any help would be awesome

Here in the US only two carriers lock the Sim it just depends on your carrier.
Not all Nexus devices are sold SIM-unlocked. When the phones were released, some carriers were selling the Nexus One, the Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus SIM-locked. I haven't heard of any N6's sold SIM-locked yet, but it could always be a possibility.

You will be able to get voice + SMS from all of the major carriers as well as 3G data. No LTE from any of them as US carriers use different bands than the rest of the world (and your phone isn't equipped with the radio for US carrier LTE bands.)
