I wouldn't be too quick to judge the N6. Sure the N4, N5 had some severe hardware deficiencies, but the N6 is not a budget device like the N4, N5 were.
Only thing I would look out for is the radio in the phone, which is Nexus weakness.
Got a tip for us?

I'll wait a while still. I want to read reviews here and on AndroidCentral before I buy. I'm sure it will probably have a few bugs at the start like any phone but it's a Nexus phone so the updates will come fast.
I'm kind of a big verge fan. They tend to be a lot more critical than iMore, MacRumors, or Android Central. We will see.
But radio is Motorola's strong spot. I really feel it is going to be an all around great phone. For me it will replace a nexus 5 and a nexus 7
I usually get my reviews from TheVerge (more pro Apple), MKBHD (more pro Google), and Droid-Life (very pro Google). I also like GSMArena and Anandtech for more in depth coverage.
I think The Nexus 6 is a good match up to the other Android flagships and iPhone 6/6+.

This would be the first Nexus with a good radio. But you're right, Motorola has that tech down.
Motorola is good and that is another reason I am interested in this phone.
I think I'll get this phone and then next year, grab a 6S and that way I can still get a new phone each year.
I wonder how many phones that were manufactured this time around since the first round was here and gone before I even knew it.
Which makes me fear for when they launch the product in the next wave of territories. I honestly do not understand how a company as large as Google with the resources that they have, continues to operate in this manner.
Putting aside their incapability of measuring demand for a third year running, its the total silence in regards to everything that i have issue with. Apparently the phone could be up for pre-order in the UK in the upcoming weeks and we're still in the dark in regards to pricing.
Anyway i'm not in any urgent need to change my phone but loving the size + vanilla android combo the nexus 6 offers. If i'm not lucky enough to grab one first time around and 2015 is the next time i can order one, then i'll probably wait for the Xperia Z4.
They are trolling hardcore now

I think I'll wait for Moto to get in stock. I want the white 64GB one, and it seems like T-mo will only have the blue 32GB, in store, and the blue 64GB one online.
I'll just wait for T-Mobile next week. I honestly don't see this being a hard phone to get it store, especially at $650
But I need 64GB storage, and I really want the white. I'll go to the store and get a feel for it.
I wonder what BBY is going to have? I have $100 in GC from both their protection plan and GC reserve offer from Feb. I want the 64GB white but I'll settle for blue as long as its 64. I'd also rather have their insurance. I hate Assurion.
BB will probably have the 32GB in stock, in both colors, for all carriers. Not sure about the 64GB though. I haven't even thought about buying through them. I guess I can pick one up through them and just stick my T-mo sim in it.

My guess is it will just be one phone that works for all of the carriers, unlocked.
so it's wednesday. are they replenishing stock throughout the day, or is it at a specific time? have I already missed out?
:edit:
so just after I wrote the post, google play store had it in stock. but then it was gone. and then it was there again. and gone again. was able to get my order in, but man it's hard. as of this moment (10:27) it's available.

It actually seems like they have a much larger stock this go around. I was able to get a 32 blue on my first attempt.

With availability listed as 'Backorder.' Nice.
well it went better than the google play preorder. There was a solid 10 minutes of orders from moto.
