CPW still says the silver version will be available Thursday even if ordered now. Late November for the graphite version though.

Annoying if true, although to be fair there's less appeal in rooting these days - especially for a Nexus device.

Doesn't matter if its real or not tbh.
The eFuse doesn't apply in the UK/EU as they have to prove that what you did to the software harmed the hardware should a warranty situation come up.
In the US its the other way around.

 

[Scottland]

But potentially the eFuse could get in the way of android pay. It doesn't as far as I know but that may change.

I suppose so yes, but they've only confirmed the root aspect up to now blocking it.

Received my Orzly flex case today. Doesn't seem too bad at all for the price..... Quite happy with the size of it too, was a little concerned that the phone would be too big, but not bothered now.

 

[Scottland]

I suppose so yes, but they've only confirmed the root aspect up to now blocking it.

Let's face it, nobody really knows yet - its just a disappointing trend for nexus devices.

 

[Kainz]

Has anyone started looking into tempered glass protectors? I haven't a clue what to even look at right now.

I'm waiting for some people to receive theirs. But orzly can be ordered for £9 and they're usually pretty good.

 

[kona786]

The verges written review is very glowing indeed.

Seeing as this phone doesn't have 2.5d glass iirc, it should be quite easy to find a good glass screen protector.

for those impatient, cpw say they can have the 32Gb 6p Alu delivered for the 22nd October

have ordered online and will check it out, will give me some idea on how it is before the Google order (64Gb Alu) gets sent then will have 14 days to decide to keep the CPW handset

 

[Scottland]

Conflicting info from CPW, they've said on Twitter the 26th.

Cheers for that. Saw a few on MobileFun but I might hold out until the thing gets released. Just a bit concerned about mis-cut glass at this early stage.

When I looked yesterday at CPW, it said 22nd November for delivery. Today it's saying 'In stock'? For me to get videos out, I really want it ASAP, even if Google is only a day or two behind, that's quite a difference. I'm tempted to order from CPW as well...

Anyone with a CPW order had more info on when it will come?

 

[BoomAM]

How very bitter.
It's probably a requirement for the android pay system in order to keep the banks happy if so. Hardly a trend.

Showed as "in stock" on both black and silver when I was awake at 3am... Looks like their stock routines have completed overnight though and it's now showing 26th for silver and November for black.
