    Didn't the phone only come out this week?

    It was announced weeks ago and then up for pre-order almost immediately. I find it very hard to believe they are already out of stock in Ireland, especially considering the price of the feckin' thing!!

    I'm not sure where Wikipedia got this info from, but they have this up on the Nexus 6P page

    That's true. Went out of stock a few days after it was up for pre-order.

    I pre-ordered mine 15 minutes after they were put up.

    Looking to buy the 64gb one myself. Looks like a fantastic phone with a great spec. So fed up with the S6 edge!

    I was hoping to get the 64GB one too but the European prices are pure extortion. Was tempted to get one from the US but not going to take the chance it will work over here :(

    I'm currently looking at that option as I know someone who's visiting from the US in the next few weeks. I'll check if the US 6P can work on the Vodafone network first, plus it might all go out the window if its not available in time before they leave for Ireland.

    6p Still pending with a 28-30 Oct estimated delivery, looks like its going to be delayed, the case I ordered is processing 3 days now I wish this process was a lot clearer.

    Why would a us phone not work here, if it was purchased from play store or not via a network, isn't it an unlocked phone?

    If you want to use the phone on 4G networks, the US version doesn't support band 20 which all mobile operators are using in Europe/Asia. (same for 99% of US Android mobiles)
    Three are still using band 3 but phasing it out in favour of band 20 too.

    Video review from MKBHD is up. It's a shame this one is outside my price range here in Ireland, it looks to be near perfect.

    That battery life with image retention after a week, sounds like he has the brightness cranked up to the max all day long.

    My case has shipped which will at least give me some idea of what size the phone is. No movement on my 6p yet which I ordered about an hour after the launch keynote. 29zrjag.png

    I'm definitely considering selling my edge and getting this but am concerned that those chamfered edges will be scratch magnets like the note 4.

    You can see what I am talking about around 0:22-0:24 in the video below.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuNuPes5Yfg

    Or at 9:14 in MB's review
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc5fFvp8le4

    I know these are likely not retail samples but it looks very similar to what happens with the note 4 where even using the Samsung official protective cover would scuff the edge.

    Dr I was just about to ask you how your order was on.

    My case shipped also but still pending on the phone. Least it will give us a turnaround time on processing-shipping-delivery with the cases.

    My Skinomi screen protector came today, giving me an exact idea of the phone....its big:)

    Still waiting for the 64gb aluminium to become available for order.
    For those who are interested in the 32gb version of the 6P, it's available with Google in both aluminium and black at the moment!

    I keep on flip flopping on this but I think I'll order the 32GB version.
    From looking at my storage on my OPO, I'm only using 20GB so space wont be an issue (god bless unlimited internet and streaming media!).
    The reviews are what swung it for me and the battery seems to be an improvement on the current phone.

    Thanks for that- what was the point of me signing up to their list when it was out of stock if they don't even email me when it's available again..

    Having said that, only the 32GB model is available. And those European prices really are outrageous.

    That's god's way of telling you 32GB would have been too small :-)
