It's pretty clear that Android 5.1 will see a wider release, possibly starting with the Nexus smartphones and tablets. What's still a mystery is when to expect the updates to this version to start rolling out.

As Android 5.1 is already up and running on the Android One platform, it's probably only a matter of weeks before we see it on the Nexus line. As for any other devices, how fast they get it will depend on the companies that made them and how quickly they move.

The Motorola Nexus 6 is once again out in the Google Play Store for the UK from the source link below. You can order one, but there are caveats. First of all, only the blue 32GB model is actually available, while white units and ones with double that storage capacity are nowhere to be seen.

The biggest problem, however, is that the listing says the device will be shipping in around three to four weeks. So it will be 2015 before the phone you order today will make it to your doorstep. And there's still no availability info for the 64GB Nexus 6 or for the white version.

The 32GB Blue Nexus 6 is Available for £499. The white 64GB variant is also available for £549.
