Hi, I'm getting a good deal on a Nexus 6 from AT&T unlocked ($650), but I've read a lot of complaints about the bloatware, and also that some units were sold deffective by then, the price is really really good, would you recommend me to buy it even if it comes from AT&T? I'm not from USA so I'm not much into what's the deal with AT&T and why people hate it so much, please let me know what you think, I need to decide quickly, thanks!
If you aren't from USA, then you need to check the bands of the Americas edition to where you plan on using it because it may not support all the bands.

Also AT&T "unlocked" is SIM card locked so unless its coming unlocked because your post isn't specific by carrier unlock or bootloader unlock.
The bloatware is included with your AT&T SIM card so if you don't put a AT&T sim card inside then it won't preload bloatware from Play Store.
The AT&T logo can be scraped off.
This is what it says:
Carrier: Unlocked
Contract: Without Contract
I'm good with the bands, so based on this information, it means that I can use it with my SIM card right? what about this article, I'm concerning about being one of the "lucky" guys:

Not a expert when it comes to that but couldn't you just flash factory images? Where are you buying this phone from? Online or offline?
If its offline, then check his Android version and all that. Try putting your SIM card in there before making the purchase.
If its online, then you kind of have to take his word. Theres a reason why hes selling it that cheap, $650 when he has to pay taxes (and possibly shipping) that will round to be $700+ unless he purchased it from a store which he will still have to pay taxes.
Also you'd have to check IMEI to see if the phone has been reported to be stolen.
I'd wait and get one when you can from Google/Motorola. I'd only recomend the ATT version if you for sure aren't leaving ATT and want the contract subsidy.
Thank you both, I'm not from USA, I'm actually buying it from eBay. Regarding being stolen, you have a point there, the photos in the listing shows a box and all that, I could also start a dispute on eBay if that would be the case, should I go for it I can't wait for Google or Motorola, I have a relative in USA right now, and she's coming back the first week of december, and I don't see any move from Google or Motorola to restock or either send the phones to retail stores.
Thanks a lot.

They restock every Wednesday but you're right.. the chances of getting it from there is impossible because people are always ordering and even if you did make it through, you'll have to wait for 2-3 weeks or more to have your order shipped. Alternatively, you can buy the phone outright and have the cell service for 30 days.
What country are you from? USA shipping is a bit random right now because of Thanksgiving as well. Its the most busy traffic day/week for us throughout the whole year.
Don't scare me man! I hope that if I get that one it arrives on time, I'm actually from El Salvador, and I'm trying to get it while my sister is in US since Nexus is not being sold here. I guess I'll take my chances and if everything goes wrong, I'll have to open a dispute, what do you say? I don't think is stolen though.
Thanks!

So with HTC's disappointing line-up for the first half of 2011 I decided to take a visit to HTCs World site. I looked at the specs of the new phones and noticed that under Network the bands listed are Europe/Asia - HSPA: 900/AWS/2100 MHz. Does this mean that I could finally buy an unlocked HTC phone and have my US T-mobile 3G aswell? The Flyer has the same Network specs. Out of the 5 new phones that HTC announced the Flyer and Incredible S only have those specs. The Chacha, salsa, and wildfire S, each have the standard 900/2100mhz band for HSPA Europe/Asia.
http://www.htc.com/www/product/incredibles/specification.html
http://www.htc.com/www/product/flyer/specification.html
Can someone confirm my suspicions? If so I can't wait to see what the fall lineup has in-store. Perhaps a dual core phone. I hate the line up US carriers offer.
I belive that you need 1700/2100 Mhz for T-Mobile 3G

Yes 1700 but is that not AWS. If I'm not mistaken AWS is the 1700/2100 spectrum. So since AWS is stated in the specs for the tablet and phone it should work in the US on T-mobiles 3G correct? I've been waiting for htc to release phones in Europe with US 3G for T-mobile forever. I wish my TD2 had had US 3G. The power switch broke sadly and I bought a used Nexus one and T-mobile made me pay the higher rate for data. With an unlocked phone I can sneak by on the lower unlimited rate.
This is a good news for T-Mobile and Wind users as it supports AWS 3G.
Supposedly it is going to be sold by best buy in the US.. So unless that rumor was false it makes sense to have some flavor US 3G network support and TMo makes more sense (ha no pun intended) than ATT. So AWS on the specs must be true.
Unless all these little clues are an inaccurate vast coincidence.

I don't care who sells the phone as long as it really does work with T-mobiles AWS bands in the US. If it's true I can't wait to see the Fall lineup of phones. If anything with a dual core comes out and looks nice I will be ordering it from clove.co.uk or somewhere else it they can beat cloves price.
The ROM is set up for Verizon, plus the original Incredible was with big red so I doubt they would switch carriers with the Incredible name.

You couldn't be any mote wrong. The original is not a US phone and is GSM based. So it makes sense t-mobile could get it. T-mobile UK has it and so do other GSM carriers in the world. Go to HTC.com/www and check it out for ur self. The tech is GSM. You need to learn a bit more about world carriers and phones and ditch big red. GSM is what the world uses. Don't be surprised when Big Red starts to use sim cards.

Is this Incredible S gonna launch on T-Mobile USA?
UK retailers and mobile providers are already accepting preorders.
I'm not sure if T-Mobile USA will get this because it is already being launched elsewhere. Are they gonna launch this phone late?
Verizon already had it in the US (not S). And I don't see any leaked T-Mobile roadmaps hinting an HTC Incredible S launch.
What do you guys think?
Wish it'll be released by BestBuy in states and canada like NS.

If it does it will be like any other phone that hits Europe and Asia first. US carriers will get it 6-12 months later. So if it does come here it will be later on. The thing I'm concerned about is having it work with Tmo US 3G if I buy it unlocked from Europe since it has the AWS bands. I Love buying unlocked phones because some of them we never see here in the states.

I'm sure it wont be long before we see some reviews coming in to verify its AWSness.
One thing is for sure.. I'm not going to pay 499 euros (690 USD!!) for it.. plus shipping.. I'll be waiting for it to pop up stateside for around 500 USD I would hope...

When it gets here the price unlocked will drop to about that. That's how long it will take for it to get here. It will be that old. Most I am willing to pa for an unlocked phone they don't sell in the states is $550. Sadly I would rather use that money for a radiator to help keep my car cool with all it's new found power.
I'm sure there will be at least two different models, a European model without AWS and a T-mobile US version with AWS. Just like the HD2. The T-mobile US one will be carrier locked too. You know I'm right.

The only version that has been announced is the European/Asian one and it has AWS so this one could also be sold by T-Mobile USA.
However the question would be why bother when they already have the recently released 3.8" myTouch 4G with 4GB of storage, the same CPU and GPU, etc, etc. While the Incredible S seems to be better all round, with the exception of available storage, there hardly seems to be any point in adding such a similar phone to the T-Mobile USA line-up, especially when the myTouch 3G was made specially for them.
They will probably wait until October later this year to introduce a new variant of this phone and some dual core HTC phones.
Hi all,
I'm about 90% sure that I'm going to buy the 64gb dev. HTC One. I'm still on Sprint but I think I'm done with them as they have seriously lost my confidence.
I don't have any experience with an unlocked phone that require a sim card and I'm kind of intimidated by that but I want to learn and see what kind of experience I have with an unlocked phone. I don't know how the whole sim card thing works and how it relates to Tmobile or At&t services, radio frequencies, 4glte, hspa+ etc.
I'm thinking of buying 2. One (no pun intended) for me and one for the wife. I guess my question is how do I make the transition from Sprint to Tmobile as quickly as and painless as possible. How do i explain an unlocked phone to my wife who also never been on another carrier other than sprint? What plan should I consider on Tmobile and or At&t. Which carrier's network is faster (I'm in Central NJ).
I understand the dev version has an unlocked bootloader. Does this mean it comes installed with a recovery and is it s-off / s-on?
I'm not a geek but I know how to flash roms/ kernels...basic sh*t you know.
If anyone can school me on what to expect form an unlocked phone and what I can do with it would be great. Will I be able to use sim cards from both tmobile and at&t on this phone?
Any help would be appreciated...
IIRC the Dev unit does not work on Sprint so you'd need to switch regardless.
You'll just have to get a new account and have them port the numbers over but you just won't be buying a phone on contract.
Most think it will have S-ON, but bootloader unlocked. This just means you can load ROMs, but they are locked to the kernel from HTC (not just any kernel which would be nice if you had S-OFF).
Yes, you can use a SIM from ATT and T-MO but remember that with T-MO unless you live in a new LTE zone or a refarmed 1900mhz HSPA+ band, you will be stuck with 2G speed.

just go to T-MO or ATT store and tell them you have your own phone and simply want x-plan (whatever it is you're looking for)
obviously T-MO is nice for pre-paid, no contract, but unless you live in a new 1900mhz zone (or LTE) and the phone could possibly be flashed with t-mo's firmware (possibly opening up 1700) then stick with ATT

How close? If you're decently close to two towers you should be fine. To port your number from Sprint you will need to check four things,
1: Your account number. (Dial *2 for Sprint customer service from your Sprint phone for that)
2: Your account pin. (6-10 numbers)
3: If you have any time left on your Sprint contract. Keep in mind you most likely signed a 24 month contract, but upgrades roll around every 20 months. So even if you're elegible for upgrade there may still a early term fee from Sprint.
4 Basic information such as the main account holders name, billing address, etc.
Keep in mind that at the moment the 32 and 64gb versions are out of stock from HTC (for now) If you start up a new account on T-Mobile with unlocked devices you will be on what's called Month to Month pricing. This means that since you provided your own equipment, you will be able to cancel at any time with no termination fee. You will also have upgrades avalible from the get go since you didn't purchase subsidised equipment from them.
Good luck!

Fantastic! Yes, the Developer Edition is factory unlocked GSM There are two types of phone radios CDMA (Verizon, Sprint, Boost, etc) And GSM (At&t, T-Mobile, and basically every other international carrier) A locked phone is basically a phone configured to only accept a certain carriers network baseband.

I don't think anyone has been able to get s-off this early, and if so it'd require access to a PC to use fastboot commands. Once more developers get their hands on one, it'll (hopefully) be a somewhat painless process. As far as updates go it will most likely be in the same boat as the carrier versions. One more reason having the a rooted dev version would be the bomb.com.

T-Mobile Networks
Well, I hope it's true that the T-Mobile comes with the Sim unlocked... I think I'll buy it tomorrow with the promotion of the cyber-monday extension.
But I'm a little worried about the T-mobile version network support, you see, most people, including me, of my country buy Unlocked ATT variants from the US, because here we only have these networks:
850 - Movistar / C&W Panama
1900 - Claro
1800/1900 - Digicel
I'm with Claro so I'll need 1900.
Since most of the ATT variants work with those bands, people over here buy those... While T-Mobile variants don't. But now I'm seeing that the Moto X from T-Mobile supports four 2G GSM bands (850/900/1800/1900) and comes with five UMTS bands (850/900/1700/1900/2100).
I'm not checking the LTE capabilities, since my country hasn't implemented it yet, and when they will, I'll probably won't use it after some years ($$$).
So, does this phone really works for me? I thought of buying an ATT variant but it seems some persons here (xda community) had problems unlocking the sim... (I don't mind paying to get it unlocked) One even posted that couldn't unlocked, used all the tries and had to put it on sale trough eBay :crying:
Well, what do you guys think of this...? Really, really crossing my fingers here :fingers-crossed: (Just checking the bands here, not much interested on rooting the phone, actually scared too. Don't wan't to hard brick anything )

If the T-Mo one supports the bands you need then why roll the dice with the AT&T version? If you really want the AT&T version and AT&T won't unlock it for you then you can just return it. If you want to get in on the sale price and don't want to risk anything then buy one of each so at least you will have the T-Mo one to fall back on. Just some suggestions. I am not really familiar with bands and sim unlocking and how it's done.

Oh, just wanted to be extra sure that this version will work with the bands available here at Panama... Guess there's nothing weird with that variant of the Moto X having 5 UMTS bands instead of 4 like the others.
Anyway, I'll post my feedback later when I buy and get the product, wish me luck and thanks :victory:

Guys... look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546466&highlight=sim+network+unlock
From what the whole thread states the tmobile version is sim unlocked out of the box even through moto maker. In fact they are stating that there is little difference between the tmobile and dev edition.
So from the whole thread there I will pruchase tmobile. Verizon is unlocked but does not have the correct radios for my countries 3g network. Att does but I do not want to have to go through the hastle of unlocking it... even if its simple to buy a code.

Also go to the companies and ask what bands they work with expecially the 3g and 4g. I know first hand that Verizon does not support most of the bands in central america... Ive had verizon phones here and they only get 2g sometimes. And good luck with going to the companies... most people there have no idea... and they will stare at you with a blank look on their face when you ask about bands and will probably try to sell you a phone. So be patient.
Also... keep us updated!!
I have an Claro Chile phone using tmobile kit kat and works 2g, 3g, h/h+, 4g LTE bands without any issies
Does anyone know the most favorable way to buy the Nexus 6 on AT&T network?
Advantages and disadvantages of each? Price, signal strength, customer service, warranty, etc?
It'll cost more through AT&T, unless on a 2 year contract, then you'll save money but be locked in for the next 2 years. If you don't mind paying the full AT&T price (which is more than Play or Moto) but don't have it to pay up front, you can use AT&T Next, then you pay for the phone monthly on top of your bill. If you have a 10GB or higher Mobile Share Value data plan you get $25 knocked off your bill, so it can actually kind of even out in the long run. Also, it looks like from the reports that the AT&T will have the globe branding on the back. Otherwise, everything else should be the same between the 3. Warranty is from the manufacturer so that doesn't change across the board. I'm sure it's the standard 12 month warranty. I can't speak for customer service though. I've never really had to call AT&T for much of anything and I've been with them since Cingular.

Basically, if you have the money to pay full price, I'd get it through GPS or Moto...if you can catch one before they sell out every Wednesday (GPS). So availability might be better through AT&T as well. That remains to be seen at the moment. They're supposed to start shipping today from AT&T.

Thanks for the information. Much appreciated.
Can anyone add to the customer service piece in regards to Moto or Google in the event of warranty issues?
The Play Store has been a Pita about shipping, but I wouldn't order from AT&T unless you want 32 GB and the death star logo.
I personally didn't care about the logo. I already ordered a dbrand skin for mine. I'm also willing to bet even though the phone is already massive, 80% of the people complaining about the AT&T branding will have a case on the phone, probably even with case manufacturer branding. :cyclops:
I bought mine from moto and it works fine on ATTs terrible network here. I get mildly better signal but not by much.
I had talked to Play Store's support and they told me that if I purchase through Play Store they will give me 2 years of warranty.

Two years support is nice but I doubt I'll ever keep a phone for two years.

Any issues with the ATT Store on Bringing Your Own Device? I ASSume you needed to get the nanoSIM and not simply swap the SIM from your previous device...

I am not on ATT, but with Verizon. You should be able to take your previous SIM and just pop it in and go. That is all I did with My N6. I pulled the SIM from my Moto X 2nd Gen and popped it in and I was good to go. Hope this helps.
I know I had issues with the Pure Edition Moto X. AT&T would only give h+ and not LTE. The work around was to give them an AT&T IMEI.

Assuming you want or will settle for the only phone AT&T is selling then:
It almost completely depends on the contract you have or want to have.
After that it depends on who you want to deal with if there are phone issues.
It is annoying that AT&T is marking the phone up. That makes Next not be an interest-free loan. On the plus side it means you can discard that Next advantage from your decision process.
Well, we now know buying through AT&T the Nexus 6 comes:
Carrier branding on back
Carrier lock
Higher total price
Anyone know when AT&T stores will have Nexus 6 in stock? They had to ship all of them back to Motorola.

I have ATT and took the nexus 6 to get the new sim.
I just had them give me a sim and did not want the IMEI on the account.
No issues with LTE at all. I did change my APN settings to match my Nexus 5 and have not had any issues.

I was in ATT store to get my new sim for mine from Moto. They had them in stock.
Are there network differences between AT&T, Google and Moto N6?
Based on the AT&T, Google and Motorola web sites, the Network and Bands of the Nexus 6 appears to be different:
AT&T
4G-LTE Bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 20, 25, 26, 29, and 41
4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul
3G - UMTS 850/900/1900/2100MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz
Google (North America)
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
CDMA Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA Bands: 1/2/4/5/8
LTE Bands: 2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/25/26/29/41
CA DL Bands: B2-B13, B2-B17, B2-29, B4-B5, B4-B13, B4-B17, B4-B29
Motorola
Networks
GSM/GPRS/EDGE, UMTS/HSPA+, 4G LTE
Bands - Americas Model (XT1103)
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
CDMA (800, 1900, secondary 800 MHz)
WCDMA (1, 2, 4, 5, 8)
LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 29, 41)
CA DL (B2-B13, B2-B17, B2-29, B4-B5, B4-B13, B4-B17, B4-B29)
Is it significant that:
The AT&T 4G-LTE list includes band 20, while the other 2 LTE lists do not include this band
AT&T lists "4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul" while Motorola lists "HSPA+" without "enhanced backhaul" and Google says nothing about HSPA+
The AT&T 3G - UMTS list includes 2100MHz, while the other two spec lists do not include 2100MHz anywhere
Google doesn't include "3G" or "UMTS" while Motorola lists "UMTS" without any frequency specs
What I'm trying to understand is, if I buy a Nexus 6 from Google or Motorola for use on the AT&T network, will I miss out on some network capability or performance due to the differences in the Network/Band specifications?
If I will be missing out on something, how significant might it be?
TIA
I just bought a Google Play version, I really hope I am not missing any bands or need to use a AT&T IMEI from the store again like I did with the N5... that was a pain.

Let us know how your experience goes with AT&T. Please report back.
AT&T Nexus 6 still out of stock at local stores.
I have a google play version and I'm using it on cricket and LTE works just fine.
Buying unlocked Nexus 6 in USA?
Hey.
I'm in USA for the next two weeks, and I want to buy the Nexus 6. I want to buy the unlocked and international version, where will I be able to do it? As I said, I'm not living in US, so I cannot pre-order a phone because I don't have address, and also if the shipment will be delayed I won't be able to receive the phone.
T-Mobile had them.. I believe they are all sold out... But you can try to call some stores to find out.

To me that seems very unlikely to work out in your favor due to the demand of these phones and your time frame.
Maybe I'm wrong and someone on here knows something I don't. I do wish you the best of luck though! This phone is amazing and you'll love it!
I believe the phone was $650 or $700 or so... But its really a crap shoot because every one wants one so its very hard to come by. I got the last one in a store where I was told they were already sold out.

Is there a way to book the phone so when I'll come to the store I will be sure that I'll will get out with the phone?
In Israel if you call to a store (or booking in their website) a phone, that will put it aside and when you coming to the store, he is waiting for you, and only after you come to the store you pay for the phone.
No chance..

Nope thats when you order online. I believe when you order it from T-Mobile, you must have 1 month of service with T-Mobile before cancelling. If you're on EIP with T-Mobile, you'll have to pay the remainder of your balance before you can go. If you paid in full, you have to stay for a month.
Taxes and shipping is also included in the price so it'll be another $60ish depending what state you're in / shipping.
I could be wrong but I don't believe you can purchase the international version anywhere in the US.

TNX. The US version supports Israel's LTE 3, but not 7.
Do you know when the phone will come to Israel?
