Why wouldn't they let him buy it? What he wants to do with the phone is none of their business. All he really has to say is "it's a gift for so and so" and he can walk right out with the phone.

AT&T Confirms Pre-Orders for the Google Nexus 6 Start Tomorrow (Wednesday Nov. 12th)
- Thread starter dgstorm
- Start date
PC. I'd happily pay that bet... I do hope ya get one...
The reason I say most folks walking in and buying a phone in store for is bc you will be asked for account and plan even when buying outright...from their view on limited stock they will want their customers buying phone not someone looking to use outside of t-mobile

I can't believe I'm buying a 6 inch phone. Going from the moto x 2013. Google gave me no choice.
I understand that being why they are not selling today but they could still do pre orders (ie At&t). In fact pre-orders would better allow you to determine inventory.
This makes me wonder how far Motorola is really behind on stocking vs the creation of demand. Considering they knew well in advanced they were creating a nexus, even if they did not think it would be successful they should have had at least a quarter to a half of last years Nexus 5 sales produced. Considering the Moto X 2014 and Droid Turbo both had enough stock to meet demand, with the Moto X 2014 being available on all carriers as well, I find it hard press to believe Motorola failed to provide enough to feel the demand, especially since the phone is just a larger Moto X. I highly doubt Motorola, even the newly Lenovo owned Motorola, would be this ill prepared to handle the demand. And we are talking about the demand of the 1% that care about a nexus not the larger percent that care about galaxy or iPhone devices. This leads me to think something more is happening behind the scene. Either they found a flaw in some of the units they had ready for shipping and are having to fix it or they are acting on the orders of Google and are trying to build a demand to try and help boost awareness and sales. Problem is this could back fire if that is the case. The 1% who know what a nexus is will wait, like I am willing to wait for a 64gb version even if I do not get one on opening week, but those who heard about the nexus 6 buzz but not vested may end up walking out with a Note 4, Droid Turbo, or a Moto X that they can customize via motomaker. Be interesting to see how this play out.
