A few people i know are waiting for the Nexus 6 to be released. Does anyone know when its going to be for sale at the various retail stores and who is going be selling it ?

The short answer is : nobody really knows!

Carphone Warehouse seems to have a UK exclusive on the 64GB model.

The Nexus 6 launch hasn't been handled particularly well by Google.

If you want more information check this thread over on XDA developers:

Google Play Store is sold out, Carphone Warehouse have told customers that pre-orders have been delayed from 1st to 8th December due to manufacturing issues, Amazon have delayed there deliveries from 15th December to 22-31st December due to stocking issues and are now no longer accepting pre-orders for the product.

I wouldn't expect it in shops anytime soon....

Won't be available until they can find a lorry big enough to deliver them. Really disappointed with these being so large. Nearing the time to replace my 4 which I've loved the past 2 years and had hoped to replace it with another Nexus but no intentions of getting a phone that size. Got a good contract which is up in march tho can upgrade at start of the year. Not really much else out there I fancy so probably end up keeping the 4 on sim only. Usually by this stage a phone is showing signs of age but unlike my 7 the 4 is still going strong

Yeah but I'd have to buy the handset which isn't something I do nowadays. Got my 4 on a £21 pm contract. Sim only is £16 I think. That plus £250 for the handset starts to become quite pricey. Likely just hold on til I find a free handset I like around about what I'm currently paying per month.

buying phones on contract is a mugs game.... i worked that out many years ago.
last phone i got on contract was the iPhone 3G. ever since then i've got every phone sim-free.
if you then upgrade every year then resell value of the previous phone covers quite a bit of the purchase price of the next one.
