Hello doubledown-

Regrettably, we do not have any new information on the availability of the Nexus 6P at Best Buy.  I can only recommend that you continue to check BestBuy.com for any availability.

Thanks,

I asked yesterday on chat and was told that there was not anything on a receiving date yet for the 5X or 6P but that there wasn't a reason they wouldn't expect to get the phones. I really hope they do get them (having a BB credit card to pay for them would be nice) so I am really hoping BB picks up these phones especially since they're unlocked. 

Bill, can you remember to let us know if something turns up saying BB will carry either of these phones?

I agree.  It would be nice to get the Reward Zone points or opt for financing with a BB Credit Card.  I find it odd that Best Buy is kept in the dark on new products.  It's making me think they are not going to get it.  I guess when Google gets back in stock I'll just order from them.  I was really hoping for Best buy.

Just an FYI.  Best Buy CANADA has them up for Pre-Order on their website.

I know they did have them up as I saw some screenshots on other forums but I didn't see them when searching this morning as I considered ordering one from there.

You are correct. I know it was there a few days ago. It was pricey though....and said something about TELUS (or whatever Canada uses). Small glimmer of hope....who knows.

Any update Bill? Still don't see it online.

Not looking promising.  Not sure if it's Google just not willing to sell the NEXUS in Best Buy or vice versa.  They sell the new Google Router and other Google branded items.

I spoke to a Google Rep earlier this week who informed me that they know Best Buy will be receiving this phone. Unfortunately, they asked me to call Best Buy in terms of when it would be available to pre-order. Of course when calling Best Buy the reps all can't "find the product in the systems" and are not able to give any information.

I am almost certain that the Nexus 6P will be sold through Best Buy based on the information received from Google themselves. If only Best Buy would now cooperate and let us know when, we would not have to spend so much time wondering.

How did you contact someone at Google?  Just curious.  Would be nice to get some concrete information.  i know Google stock is hit or miss right now on the 6P.  I wonder if Best Buy will get all 3 colors (if they get it)

I found a contact us button and they gave me a call back from the Google store. At first the rep was not sure but then did some research and informed me that Google does expect Best Buy to sell the phone but are unable to advise us as to when so would need to contact them directly.

I'm seriously contemplating buying from Google directly if they get it in stock again because Best Buy isn't offering any hope as to when they expect even pre-orders to start for this phone.
