The Motorola blog post says "starting at $649" http://motorola-blog.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/nexus-6-from-goo...

This was the most disappointing thing for me. While it might be a fantastic device, and I might still choose it, at that price I'll be more carefully considering the alternatives. The Nexus 5, with its specifications and price point, was a no-brainer. This one doesn't make that decision quite to simple.

As someone against having any form of debt other than a mortgage or useless obligation such as a cellular contract:

$649 is where I stop paying attention to the Nexus line.

The hours worked to afford the device and it's needed case and accessories make the 6" screen not worth it.

And trying to hide the cost behind a cellular contract brings that cost over a thousand dollars. Stupid.
