I'm still waiting but someone I know got their device on the 22nd Oct, claimed on the 5th, and got their Chromebook yesterday

I've already received mine, took about 1 week after claiming.

I'm waiting for mine... Having got yours is it worth keeping or suitable for eBay only? I've got a 2 year old Acer Chromebook and if the hp one is any good I'll keep the hp one and put the Acer on eBay....

I haven't opened it because I'm giving it away as a Christmas present, but looking at the specs, I'd just put it on eBay and get some of the money back if you already have a chromebook.

Just got an email saying it's been dispatched and I should get it tomorrow! Happy days!

Mine has just arrived; ordered 5th November.
On the box it says... [Box of Total: 467 of 1836]

I received mine last week, gave it to my nephew as a present as I already have the Pixel Slate my main computer.

Is the slate any good? I had and sold the pixel C before that but need something else now.

I was in between the Pixel Slate and the Microsoft Surface...in the end I went for the Pixel Slate because I already have a Microsoft Surface at work. The Pixel Slate form factor is more portable, it's more versatile with Android apps and Linux. The device itself is built very well, battery lasts a long time and the speakers have good quality sound for watching movies.
I got it at launch, so the software was a little temperamental back then but Google has ironed out a lot of the issues and it's now fairly stable, even in the Beta Channel.

Mine sold on eBay for £139 making my 128Mb 4XL final cost a bit over £800. As someone who'd been buying Oneplus phones since the One, £800 is still too much. Nice phone though.

Not really. They went on sale at 5 am CST. I got mine ordered, but I hope they didn't oversell and cancel on me. :/
So nice to see that price less that two Weeks after buying from Dell for $275.

damn!!! Thats expensive!!! Sorry man
I got mine ordered and confirmed! First Black Friday deal I've ever managed to get in my life. LOL
I sold my Transformer and was considering getting the Prime, but then I realized what I really need is something like a Samsung Series 7 Slate (actual slate w/digitizer, full OS, etc) and I figure the Dell will make a nice and inexpensive plaything... Shame the battery only lasts 5-6 hours.
Looking forward to it though!

Screen separating more on the 16gb version

So I initially purchased 2 8gb N7's, then I recently purchased 2 16gb nexus 7's. Both of my 8GB's are perfect, while both of my 16 gb's are going to be returned for screen separation issues.
Anyone else noticing this problem to be more rampant on the 16gb version? In my limited experience, I would say it is.
So far my 16 is good.

Maybe it was just luck of the draw.
doubt it. i own a 8GB and 16GB Nexus 7 and for the most part both are perfect. i think your mentioned situation is a coincidence rather than a trend!
My 16GB model had it as well.
Did the shim fix so far and it's working great.
I ordered an 8 after returning my 16 to Sam's and this one has it as well. It's not an exclusive feature.

I've returned 3 16gb to Walmart today and they all had the same issue. I just decided to keep the last one I received since I depleted the stores remaining stock. Since I live in Phoenix, I thought it may be that the tablet sat in the heat too long, but the one I got from my local staples is fine.
One good thing from this ordeal is that I got that "New toy feeling" multiple times today. I feel giddy.

is nexus 6 still a good buy?

hello,
im getting used nexus 6 condition 9/10 in 270$ im just concerned about the updates. like am i right if i think itll get android ota upgrades for no less than 2 years more? suggestions? Thank you
Go for it, still a very capable phone and you'll get official updates for at least another year and if not there will always be custom ROMs for the latest android versions out there.

I'd have to agree. Unless it's a 64GB with all original accessories and a few extras like cases and wireless chargers I'd say it's a bit much too.
At this point I would just save a little extra money and wait for a good 6P discount. I bought a brand new nexus 6 in december at 250 so I can't recommend you to buy an used one for more than that.
You can buy a 5X for 199 when you sign up for Fi.
Personally I agree that the original Nexus 6 is a good buy. I have it, and I still feel that it is the best phone I have owned.
That being said, I also agree that the price you have been quoted for the Used Nexus 6, does seem a bit high. Personally I would negotiate a slightly lower price if possible.
I bought a brand new phone for $250 from Amazon..

That's great for people who Fi works in their area I have 0 sprint coverage and about 10% coverage of Tmo in my area. Att is OK but Verizon is dominant with coverage about 95% of the rural area I live in....
Nexus 6 is still a great phone! I won't be giving it up anytime soon!
I got one late Feb and it is a great device. Got one from AWD - 32Gb at $215. I was opting for moto x pure but it was a bit expensive at that time. Anywho, its a great buy, i have no regrets.

I don't think they will sell it at that price anytime soon but keep on the lookout. Even AWD where I got mine sells it at around $300 in very good condition. Mine was from AWD as well and tagged used- in very good condition but it came like bnew.
Surely there must be forwarders in your country where you can ship it to a US address and they ship it to you for a price. That is what I usually do since I live in the PH.
I picked up a refurb from groupon for $250 a few weeks ago, I enjoy it personally.

What does 9/10 mean? Weak point of N6 is the battery
The updates are monthly now and Google never added new things, I would not be disappointed when the monthly updates stop.
In any case there will be Android N for the N6.
The point to worry about is the battery life and the amoled display. The dev's at Google forces us to use a white background. There is no option yet to switch to a dark theme without root access.
A child knows that a white interface on amoled displays causes battery drain. But Google ignores that.
Prepare for rooting and use layers and alternatives for Gapps like Aquamail that have the option to switch to a dark theme.

9/10 is a rating, ergo 9 out of 10. He's saying the device is nearly perfect.
I got mine for $180. Had an LG G3 before this phone. I just wanted a giant screen that is a great performer. I got more than I expected with this phone. I love it. There may be better devices on the market, but this is a great phone for the price!
I've just upgraded from my be loved nexus 5 and love it. Upgraded for the storage

Oneplus 6t - McLaren Edition

So.....who is ordering the McLaren edition??
I would of if I waited. But I didn't so I am keeping the 256 midnight blk.
If it was released day 1 it woulda been me. Orange is my favorite color. For now I'm waiting for someone to pull the wallaoapers and fingerprint animations lol
I most likely will be. Just sold my TMobile version last week so I got some cash to spare. Its just so good looking why not
Will warp charger work on our op6t or it needs to be McLaren edition?

If it had been released day 1 or 2.
The price difference from what I bought is almost nothing.
It comes with the Karbon case and I bought one for $29.
So for me $629+$29 and you get the faster charging and 2GB of RAM is nothing for the extra $40 over what I paid.
But it's too much hassle to sell what I have just to get incrementally faster charging and an extra 2GB or RAM that may or may not ever be used.
I just received the 6T last week so I'm still in my 15 day return policy. I'll do an RMA right after I successfully purchase the McLaren.

Yeah, I've had mine too long.
No big deal. The McLaren is very cool but doesn't have any must have feature over the Midnight Black 8/256.
Do you guys know if the McLaren edition will share the same software as other 6Ts? Meaning will I be able to use the same rooting procedures as the other models?
So what do you all think, is it worth it over 6t? I'm kind of thinking about it. I'm on my day 15 tomorrow for return. The phone looks nice although I'm not a fan of the mirror black. The yellow does add a nice touch
I’m a big o spec ho but 10gb is even too much for me. I’ve never seen my phone use more than 7gb. Usually sit around 4-5gb so 8gb is plenty. Too bad they can’t do 120hz on oled. That’s a spec I’d go down on fo sho
Oneplus just opened european sales at 10 CET, ordered one McLaren immediately
I also ordered one today . It will replace my OP3. My daughter is looking forward to get the OP3
I got to get it! Waiting for the countdown now to be able to buy, I'm gonna give my unlocked 8/128 to my son
Ordered mine! How is free shipping from oneplus usually? First time ordering thru them.
Just ordered one this morning, upgrading from my Pixel 2
Ordered, says it will be delivered by 19th. Can't wait! :victory:

Considering buying

I've been considering buying the Razer to or the One Plus 6T, I'm still not decided. I got to mess around with the Razer 2 today and it was a nice ass phone, I haven't got a chance to mess with the One Plus 6T. I was wondering if anyone could answer a question for me? I have seen the video recording quality and it seems extremely shaky in videos I've seen and in person today when I was playing with the phone. Now the phone has none of the newest updates rolled out for it but I was wondering if that has improved with the updates or if it improves with the installation of the gcam apk? Thanks.
The Razer camera is janky. The Gcam port is the best.

This is the mod I use
I'm personally in love with my RP2, and the 120hz screen makes all other phones look like their laggy.
I took a chance on this phone cause the Asus won't work on Verizon. The number one feature that I want on a phone is an above average camera. Let me just say I about cried when I got it, but I got the gcam port and holy crap! I've had numerous people compliment pictures and videos. This phone is amazing so far.

Just bought the phone and it is such an amazing phone. The stock camera is crap but I put the Gcam on there did some side-by-side comparisons and damn what a difference!
I just bought a Razer Phone 2 yesterday, at Best Buy. I paid $449 for it (I got $50 off for activating it on Verizon). Amazon also has it for $499, but they're currently out of stock (unless you want to pay almost $800, from other sellers). It was hard to find a Best Buy store that had it in stock, but I'm a tractor-trailer driver, and I was going from IL (where I took my break the previous night) to my terminal in Oklahoma City. I found a Best Buy store in Tulsa that showed they had three, but they only had one when I got there - which was fine, because one was all I needed!

I purchased mine from Best Buy, I didn't feel like waiting on the shipping from Razer. They only had one in stock when I went. If I had the money and they had three I'd buy all three just to have more for when they break down over the years. Hopefully they come out and say they will make a Razer 3 because I know there is no talk of it currently.

I had the $10 off coupon as well but at the end of the checkout they hit me with the tax so I said the hell with I'll spend $10 more to get it now and not have to wait.
Love this phone and loved the first razer phone 1 as well. Beautiful screens and the refresh rate at 120hz is unreal hard to use other phones after using for awhile. My opinion is the only real downfall is the speaker grills because all the crap that gets stuck in there. I took mine off with a heat gun lol. In the process of looking for a friend with a 3d printer to make my own grills.
