Nexus 6 pre-orders confirmed to start on October 29

Google and Motorola unveiled the Nexus 6 phablet last week. During the blog post announcement, we were told that pre-orders for the device would start on October 29.

And this date has just been confirmed by none other than the phone's listing in the Google Play Store. The Nexus 6 is in there, but you'll only be able to pre-order one starting on October 29 - next Wednesday, to be precise.

By now you probably know the pricing: the Nexus 6 will set you back $649 if you want the base 32GB model, or $699 if you need double that storage amount.

The Nexus 6 will become available at T-Mobile on November 12, though whether this will be its release date across carriers and retailers in the US is still a mystery. The phablet will also be sold by AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and US Cellular.

It boasts a 5.96-inch QHD (2,560x1,440) AMOLED touchscreen, a 13 MP rear camera with dual-LED flash, and a 2 MP front-facing unit for selfies. It's powered by a beastly Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset, with a 2.7 GHz quad-core CPU, 3GB of RAM, and a 3,220 mAh battery. It runs Android 5.0 Lollipop.

The Nexus 9 tablet by HTC, which was introduced alongside the Nexus 6, has already gone up for pre-order.
