T-Mobile will apparently have limited Nexus 6 stock from the very beginning, if a newly-leaked internal memo turns out to be accurate.
The new-generation Nexus smartphone from Google has already stirred lots of interest and is shaping up to be in great demand, but the device seems to face some supply issues.
When Google put the Nexus 6 up for pre-order on Google Play, the device sold out in less than 24 hours. The company recently announced that it will replenish Nexus 6 stock every Wednesday, but this doesn't seem to make the smartphone more readily available either. It remains unclear just how many Nexus 6 units Google added last Wednesday, Nov. 5, but whatever stock it had vanished in no time.
Motorola, the device's maker, also started selling the Nexus 6 on its own website, but it hit the same wall: the smartphone went out of stock shortly after being listed as available, and no additional stock has popped up since.
With all of these hints pointing at poor supply for the Nexus 6, many were hoping that Google had put aside sufficient Nexus 6 carrier units for those who plan on getting the smartphone subsidized. According to a newly-leaked T-Mobile memo, however, it seems that supply shortages will affect carrier versions of the Nexus 6 as well.
Android Police claims to have received a purported T-Mobile internal memo from one of its tipsters, and the document shows limited availability for the Nexus 6.
