Does anyone have any good intel as to when we may see the Titan at AT&T? Also, is there any new news as to when we might get Skype for WP7? Christmas is coming and I'm due for an upgrade!

Microsoft held a big WP7 event in NYC today. They showed off all the phones.
The only good tidbit out of the event (that we did not already know) was that the HTC Titan on AT&T would be priced around $200.
No release date was given by AT&T and the demo units were not even branded, which makes some reporters think it will be some time before we see units in the stores.
So, I am waiting also as I am eligible for an upgrade and will use it for the Titan!
Eligible for an upgrade myself, dying to get one.
I was at an ATT Corporate store yesterday looking at the Focus S and he said their releases were on the 1 and 3rd Sundays of the month. He thought it was probably going to be Nov 20th. He didnt have any exact knowledge of the date. He didnt think any other major ones would be released after that for the holidays.

Confirmed by AT&T today online that the Titan will be in stores November 20th.
happy Dance, cant wait. Too bad I am working that whole day
Saw this in Best Buy ad this a.m. Sale starts tomorrow. Vzw, att & Sprint. Darn - I paid $50 for mine.
Are you kidding me?? I just got mine two days ago and paid $50 as well ?
Don't know if it's national or regional. I'm in Baltimore/DC corridor.
Yeah, it's a black Friday sale, national pricing. Since I paid $100 in August my only consolation is the free charger and battery promotion they honored me :good: $1 is an awesome deal for this phone. There will be a lot more people joining the party here on XDA pretty soon.
I got mine in thanksgiving day! I'm in Texas btw
Just got mine today, plus $150 BB GC since I ported from AT&T and set up new lines on vzw... $150GC/line x 4 lines= $600 GC

Yeah got mine for 50 buck through verizon last night.
Looking forward to this phone.
Hopefully this price drop will increase development for this phone
Just picked one up for my brother friday for $1.00. Very nice device all around!!
I got mine today at the Verizon store only to come home and see the ad. However I also got the LG 8.3 tablet for free through the promotion. So Im not too upset by it
I picked mine up last week on the Edge program and with my Corp discounts plus Verizon giving me $15.00 a month towards it I only pay $4.79 a month. Not bad and to still be off contract, plus being able to also upgrade in a year.
Picked up my three G3's last week from amazon wireless for only a penny each with a two year contract.
So how does this compare to the Galaxy S5 in terms of development? Thinking of making the switch while it's cheap, due for an upgrade in two weeks and I don't think that Verizon is going to include the Nexus 6 in upgrades... hope so but if not thinking about the LG G3. Appears this phone has working AOSP, something the S5 will never have..
I got the "new" Blaze Red edition for free thanks to the Cyber Monday sale yesterday!! It showed up at the house today so I can't wait to go home and root, TWRP it and enjoy all of it's awesomeness tonight!

The only reason you won't be able to get the N6 in a couple weeks is because it won't be out for VZ until early 2015.
Personally I got the G3 when it came out by preorder. Loved it a ton. Then I started eyeballing the Note 4 and made the switch.
Just returned my Note 4 because of TouchWiz and now I'm back on the G3
I was able to get the phone for $30 yesterday and received it today in the mail. Got the blaze red model and it's pretty sweet
I went online and got the red G3's for 3 lines free with $150 credit for each line, thats $450 credit with 25% discount on moto 360 and cases. win! win! Also ordered iflash 3 pack tempered glass screens for $9.99. not bad.

The Moto rep at work told us early 2015 so that's all that I know. VZ didn't want it competing with the Droid Turbo's launch.
anybody bought one recently for $30 with the offer of the free LG Gpad tablet? I can't really find good information on it? Does anyone know if you have to activate the tablet or not?
nevermind: i went through checkout have to activate a new line on tablet which is $10 a month access fee plus another $30 activation fee. deciding whether I want it or not.
I picked up a G3 for my daughter last Friday for FREE from Radio Shack. All I had to pay was taxes. She is LOVING the G3 (coming from an HTC EVO on Sprint) all her friends at school (8th grader) love using her phone to take pics.. I have the G3 on Verizon. I also got the LG G Pad 8.3 for free when I got my G3. Having a tablet with a Sim card is actually pretty nice. I take it with me on many occasions and it comes in handy.
Gotta love best buy's price match guarantee
I chatted with a Google CS person yesterday. He said to call T-Mobile and talk with a CS rep and to complain. Today in their announcement Google said the phones will be sold through carriers outside the US and The Google Store within the US and other countries in which it conducts business. Since they are willing to sell it through carriers outside the US it tells me they aren't necessarily opposed to it. They also did not expressly say it won't be sold through US carriers (in the future). The read between the lines when taking into account what the Google CS rep said yesterday and what Google said today is that the carriers in the US are choosing not to carry it. I too am very disappointed that I cannot get it through JOD. I called T-Mobile and the CS rep hadn't even heard of the 6p and 5x. She created a ticket to send my request up the ladder. I suggest all of you do that too.

I am shocked that T-Mobile at least won't be carrying the Nexus 6P. T-Mobile has been a staunch Nexus supporter since day one, where other carriers may have sold one or two different Nexus phones over the years, T-Mobile ALWAYS sold the Nexus phone, every one, every year, starting with the Nexus-One up to the Nexus 6. Tis a sad day that T-Mobile won't have the latest Nexus phone, for the first time in six years
I am also on ' Jump on Demand ' mainly for the annual Nexus release, and sometimes the Note release or possibly HTC flagship release.

From what I'm gathering on Twitter from @Tmobile and @askdes's answers, it's not that they're NOT going to carry them, just not right away. When asked directly, they've said that they didn't have any info "at this time". I'm betting that we'll see both Nexus devices at all of the domestic carriers before February, maybe even before Christmas.
The Nexus 6 launch was a fiasco last year due to stock constraints, from both a carrier level and Google level. I have a good feeling that Google reserved all of the stock for the Google store until they can ramp up production, at which point they'll start allowing carriers to announce and sell them. That, or they're just wanting to do an exclusive period and allow carrier sales later.
I think the reason some oversea's carriers will sell the phone is due to the Google Store not being available in every country.

I won't be getting one until T-Mobile has them in store. That or if a cheap one shows up on craigslist.
I refuse to buy a phone through a carrier. So no disappointment hear
Dont get your hopes up, if they were planning to carry it in carrier stores retail/online they would have announced availability yesterday, they said it would be carried in other countries on carriers, what sense does it make to release info that you're gonna carry it in the US on carriers after you have already made the initial availability announcement. Last year they said it would be carried on all carriers from the start. Think about it, if they are really holding back sales in the US for Play store orders they would have said Pre order in the US on play store with carrier availability after the pre order period. Sorry but US carriers arent carrying it it this time, also if you really want to finance a nexus you can do so if you sign up for project fi...that right there makes US Carrier availability even less likelier still.
Seems like some of these Carriers have joined or continued the iphonie cults...
The galaxy nexus was not offered by T-Mobile. I could care less if carriers have stock in the nexus phone. I like that we got a good price in the US

more importantly than price it looks like they have plenty of stock, which is good cause i dont plan on ordering till around the first wk they start shipping end of october.
I think Google should offer installment without fi..
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
why do you care if carriers carry them or not? US carriers should be avoided like plague. Nothing good ever comes from them! Pay the device outright and enjoy it.
You think I want Verizon getting their hands on the nexus 6p!? No thanks im more than happy to buy from Google, although I'd prefer if they had a payment plan for people who don't use project fi.
I know the 6P won't be sold through the carriers, at least not right away. I'm a Tmo subscriber and I was a little disappointed at first but buying the phone and paying for it in full is always the best route.
With that being said are you with Tmo? What area of the country are you in? Having issues or are new services going live? Questions about service with past or the new nexus device? Let's keep each other updated with what's going on with our carrier.
I've had just about every nexus phone while on Tmo. I had spotty service for awhile but over the years service has gotten much better for me in the Orlando area. This past year I've seen almost all the 3g towers turn into LTE. I got to use HD voice for the first time on my nexus 6. VOLTE got turned on. Band 12 going live (although not in my area, I've used it in other FL markets) Going forward to the 6P are we going lose some of these? I've already seen a report that band 12 will not be unlocked at launch for our device. Will volte be available? HD voice? None of these are deal breakers but it would suck to have such a cutting edge device yet it can't access some basic phone functions. What are your thoughts/insight?

when they see that sales are going down they will be dropping the price and eipin the phone just take a couple months
But i dont want to wait that long.. Ive saved my Jump and wanted the newest nexus again... Damn you

why even bother with the jump program? buy phone outright and sell old phone. no restrictions, change phones whenever you want and probably cheaper.

I'm not a fan of jump either however not everyone can afford the full price, some people are fortunate to be able to.
I guess it's kinda like leasing your car but of course a way lower price.
I love buying unlocked phones and now that tmobiles prices are so low it really works out
Even with the jump program you are paying full price for the phone. It just gives you the option to trade in without worrying about negative equity, like a car. But I guarantee you the first time you buy a new car cash you'll set yourself up for life to never have a car payment again, this is so much easier to do with a phone... So much easier.

I think most people who get the jump program get it because they can't afford to pay the full price up front, even if they are paying the same in the end or maybe sometimes you pay more for a device when you could've gotten an unlocked device (same or better) for cheaper
I actually began my Nexus 6 purchase through finance. I figured hey, it's 0% who cares. I started to think of bills and life from a more DTI based perspective vs my older, borrow at low or no interest and invest to get more mindset.
Once you start paying off everything with a payment (no matter how low the interest) you start to have so much excess cash monthly that you realize WTF you've been doing wrong your whole life. It also makes it a lot easier to save and invest.
Anyway back on topic, I don't think carriers will be getting the 6P. But if anyone did, it would probably be T-Mobile

Since the thing will not be supporting band 12 on t-mobile, at least not right away, I'd think not.
Edit: Hah! Soon!
https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/3mzygu/google_nexus_team_ama_working_to_get_band_12/
Why pay full price for the phone? I have the original Jump program. So i pay $27/Month. In one year I paid $324 and traded the phone in for the next Nexus. I didnt have to shell out the full $650. I dont know but it works fine for me. Only phone i care about are the nexus devices. Its a Big deal when i can simply walk into the store hand them my old phone keep all my Chargers and accessories and walk out with a new phone paying only taxes..
I just pre-ordered one and I feel that Jump may not offer a good deal. I've been hearing a lot about Google Fi so that does seem like a better option overall. Also, you would lose out on the $50 play credit and three months of free Google Play Music unless you get it before Oct 25. I'll be using mine for T-Mobile and I'd only hold on ordering to look over reviews, but it's a Nexus device so it should be pretty solid. I agree with many in here that not everyone can pay full price, but with Jump you are still paying quite a bit of money. It's just better to buy it up front then sell the old phone after.
One of the things mentioned in the Reddit AMA today was they're attempting to work with TMobile on getting the Band 12 turned on prior to the device getting to everyone. So at least they're acknowledging the issue.

They're not selling the Nexus 6P in U.S. carrier stores... So we don't have the option to use Jump! or Jump! On Demand. I have a Galaxy S6 on Jump! On Demand that I'm a few months into... I purchased a 6P outright and will use 1 of my 3 upgrades w/ T-Moible to go w/ something else, and not pay a dime at the store. I switch phones a TON so for me Jump! On Demand is awesome. I will say though, once I am done with this current EIP, I will try to stay with unlocked phones and just pay outright for them. My monthly bill will be a lot cheaper.
As far as the band 12 support; if they get it fixed by ship date, great. If not, oh well... I don't have access to band 12 where I am (Columbus, Ohio), so I'm not missing anything if they don't have it fixed. I'm sure when/if it gets activated here this will be fixed.
In the Reddit AMA;
They ignored every question about why they are not selling through US Carriers. This was the most commonly asked question.
I'm like thinking, that's one of the most important questions, why will this not be sold in U.S. Carrier stores ? Especially T-Mobile stores, as they have carried and stocked every single Nexus phone the past six years. I could see Verizon or ATT not selling it, but T-Mobile has been a big supporter of the Nexus phones, as far as carriers go.
So the Nexus 6P will be nowhere to be seen or played with in stores, you just have to hope you think you'll like it and order it online only ? That's crazy. I always want to hold it in hand, mess around it with it for 30 minutes in the store, really get a feel for the phone, before deciding.

I'm sure that They will be available at some point. Google has given exclusivity for the first couple months before, this time it's to themselves. Maybe they want to get the preorders out without a disaster like previous releases. On the bright side we get great pricing compared to the rest of the world
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Yeah, Rumor is they could offer them in stores later this month to avoid the instant rush of phone orders. They sell direct first then allow carries to carry a few models if wanted.
That Reddit AMA was filled with tons of questions asking about U.S. Carrier availability, and they didn't respond once.
Wonder if that got them thinking, hey maybe we should put this out to T-Mobile and other carriers maybe ? I could see that happening after the rush of Play Store orders, and be in stores come December. I bet T-Mobile at least carries it by Christmas, just my guess.

I'm wondering if part of the reason is so they can say see how many devices we sold without you, you're not getting customized builds this time.
If they announce carrier availability it would just eat into their own direct sales.
I'd be shocked if this doesn't ultimately get on carriers in a quarter or so.
I'm still upset no Nexus 6P at U.S. Carrier stores, especially T-Mobile.
And I call BS on Google's excuse, that they want full control and no carrier slow downs no carrier involvement mucking things up.
Apple
Carriers don't get in the way of Apple and iOS updates. A Verizon or ATT iPhone 6S get's updated straight from Apple, you don't see Verizon users waiting longer for the iOS update, than an international iPhone user, or Apple having to give the update to ATT first and then let them, hand out the update later to it's customers.
Nope, if you have a Sprint, or T-Mobile, or Verizon iPhone, you just go to iTunes or Apple for the update, and they have the update available at the exact the same time, no matter which carrier phone you own.
My point is, carriers aren't in the way whatsoever, and Apple sells a **** ton of iPhone's through these carriers. How many sales of iPhone's are done directly through the Apple store and site only, like Google wants people to buy the Nexus 6P through the Play Store only ?
Google should sell the Nexus 6P at U.S. Carrier stores, and not give the BS excuse it's because of updates or some crap.
Hi guys,
Anyone knows the best place to purchase V30 in Europe?
I am currently in Bulgaria and the operators here are unlikely to have it in their inventory. :/
I can't purchase from USA because of customs policy.
Thanks!
I find it very troublesome that 2 months after the introduction, Europeans still don't have a v30.

yeah. agree.
ive posted it before. i saw the V30 at IFA in Berlin and wanted to have it from second one.
but now that the pixel 2, mate 10, razr phone, u11+ were shown. there are plenty of other possibilities. maybe not that full of a package but one could go without some features and buy a phone thats actually available
I guess LG does not have the resources right now to do a massive rollout like the big guys from Samsung, Huawei or Apple. :/

yeah probably but sadly so. what i just dont unterstand is why they cant give clear statements. they could have just said something instead of letting potential customers look and wait. i guess most of the people have bought another phone already or will do so soon.
i want that phone so badly, but even for me its hard to wait any longer with now clear statement.
Btw at least a little bit is going on:
https://geizhals.eu/lg-electronics-...c=uk&hloc=eu&v=e&togglecountry=set#filterform
and one can guess an approximate release from the dealers
something around the 20th of November or in around 3 weeks or in 1-3 month. something in between.
In Europe, the LG V30 is not yet available in normal trade.
In Germany, it is available for a week, but only with a contract and exclusive to the provider 1 & 1. Here I ordered my V30 and I got it on Tuesday last week.
The German Media Markt currently calls a delivery time of 10 days. Therefore, it will be in about 2 weeks as a free device to buy.
Then it will certainly be available at Online Stores that deliver to Bulgaria.
Otherwise there is Ebay. Here first dealers offer the Canadian or the Korean model. But here you should first check whether these devices also support the networks of the Bulgarian network operators.
My advice: wait another 2-3 weeks and then order it at an online store of your choice. The link from the previous post to geizhals.eu is a good tip.
I am waiting for now. In the end if I don't get the V30, I will have to go to the next option - Note 8. But this is my plan B.

I know. But that's LGs fault. Because they are not giving proper Etas not even to the dialers.
Closest thing i found was 20.11 from one dealer on Geizhals. Guess from all we know it will be around that time

it's 22.11 and still no word of a clear ETA in Europe.
I wonder if they had some issues with the screens and instead of releasing units with bad screens, they delayed release in markets where the legal warranty is 2 years or more.. to cut back on future expenses with units send back because of such faults
