Motorola is expected to host a local launch event for Google Nexus 6 on 18 November in India, added The Indian Express. The event most likely will be used as a stage to kick-off the pre-order service, before rolling out the smartphone next month.
Even in Europe, the pre-order service, which was supposed to go live on 3 November has been pushed to 18 November, reported TechTastic, a Netherland based website.
UK's popular multi-brand smartphone vendor, Clove Technology has also confirmed the same.
"News in from Motorola (the manufacturer of the Nexus 6) has confirmed that no pre-orders will be taken until approximately the 18th of November now," said the company.

Both the Nexus 6 -- 32GB and 64GB -- models (Midnight Blue and Cloud White) pre-order pages currently display the message: "We are out of inventory. Please check back soon"-- with no mention of any specific time-line details of when Nexus 6 will be returning to Play store.
