Carrier support is going to be everyone but VZW I'm assuming?

It has VZW support.

Thanks @BK. Been a while since I had a new "Toy". They said 5-6 weeks before it ships, so early November. Hopefully some of the smart folks will have documented the Bootloader unlock, an Root methods before I get my hands on it.

Now the question is. Do I try it with Project Fi for a month or so ? That's if I can get in.

It's a nexus. Normal bootloader unlock command via adb will work.

I'm going to try. At first I thought I'd try T-Mobile, since I'm out of contract with VZW and sick of them and Samsung.
But Project Fi sounds interesting, so will definitely have a look at it.

You can always try Tmo's seven day test drive. It is free. They send you an iPhone that you can gauge their network with. Afterwards, you turn it into the nearest retailer.

It would let you know how well Google Fi will work for you.

Kinda, except that fi also uses Sprint towers when the T-mo signal is weak and wifi where it's available and neither cell network is the best...

T-mobile might work for you... I gave them a test drive for 13.5 days ....

Project FI if you can test along side current might be the way..

Do we know whether Verizon will sell the 6P in stores?

According to what I heard during the event and what other outlets are posting, it'll ONLY be available online in the US. Maybe only via the Google Store. That's currently the only place you can preorder it.

So Google Fi phones have both radios? Sprint and Tmo? I was left under the impression that title was one or the other.

They're unlocked Nexus devices, so they've got all the radios. That's the whole plug. You get whatever cell service is better where you are & WiFi when both are lacking.

Also, the black area at the top is for nfc & other antennas. Aluminum tends to cause issues for those signals.

The Nexus 6P's Big Black Glass Bar Is A Window For NFC And Various Antennas

I think Project Fi wouldbe a better choice for where I live since there are two lte networks available

I figured that's where they would stick them. The i5 was like that and got great reception.
