Huh? You read the comments here? It's been pretty mixed on the size and price in here.
Take out "fanboys" in your 1st sentence and it'd have some credence.

yeah it sucks, but I'm not signing a contract or paying close to $700. I'll just let the hate and salt flow through me, kinda hoping it flops so they can bring back the affordable Nexus line.

True. That N5 size is perfect. I'm not impressed with any other phone than Nexus now so I wanna update. Just don't know when. Not gon be hurt to deal I with the 5 for more months

Pulled the trigger on the Note 4 preorder at Best Buy. They are running a special where if you pre order the Note before friday they will give you a $200 Best Buy gift card for the trade in of ANY smart phone. Literally any, even an old pre-touchscreen blackberry.
Hopefully they let me use that $200 towards the cost of the $299 upgrade. Then i can sell my Note 3 and profit

No way this phone flops. It'll be the most widely available Nexus to date. Couple that with the best user experience and specs and you have a winner. No one in their right mind would choose a skinned version of Android over Vanilla.

Nexus 6 is a Note 4 competitor.
If you want a smaller updated Nexus you can buy a Moto X 2nd gen for $499.

I was referring to the people who were saying the iPhone 6+ was "massive" last month but are now trying to justify the Nexus 6 size

Yeah the contracts will help it, I guess. However, just reading around, not too many people are happy, first it was the size and now it's the price. While I like the vanilla Android experience you still need third party apps to make it run the way you want (launchers etc), so there's a lot of folks that like the skinned Android devices, I personally don't. Wasn't the Galaxy Nexus widely available too?

i don't think this ever happened. it's more like the other way around. this isn't the first large android phone

When we talk about the size of the screen on the iPhone 6+, we're referring to the OD amount of bezel.

Mkbhd talks/sounds EXACTLY like the actor that played Mark Zuckerberg in the social network.
Those nexus devices look piff. Especially the tablet.

my bootleg estimate is that the n6 has 30% less bezel than the iPhone 6+.
to be fair, the n6 is thicker.
but it's running android L.
2 out of 3 ain't bad.

currently on tmobile with nexus 5. one of the main reasons i left verizon was that they **** on their nexus device by slowing down updates to 2 updates behind sometimes.
after doing the reading today, someone correct me if im wrong:
the nexus 6 will be sold unlocked and work on all carriers, including verizon. meaning, i can rock with this phone on verizon and get updates DIRECTLY FROM GOOGLE?
this is huge to me if im understanding this correctly...
I was shocked to see Verizon will be carrying the new Nexus.
But knowing Verizon ... who knows.
Yea exactly...if it runs on the vzw network but is directly updated thru Google...that's huge. And that's the way it should've been from the start. At least in terms of nexus.

Will have to wait until I handle the Nexus 6 in person. Part of me says it is too big, but I said the same thing about he OPO. I have my OPO posted for sale right now on craigslist but I might pull it. For the price that is the best bang for your buck phone out right now. The price of the N6 isn't really an issue, though it is a lot more than I had expected. Hopefully we can get a Nexus 5 reboot.

I already answered this but there are plenty of apps and such tahtvwill out everything back the way it was before and your apps settings and data...
so if I wanted a new os, I can do a full wipe and put new os o. my device then use backup tonoit everything back the way it was before..

Exactly. The screen is 5.5" yet the phone is somehow bigger than phones with a 5.7" screen such as the Note 3/4

I don't think the average consumer knows what a Nexus or what vanilla android is. When they walk in the store they will be looking at the S5, Note line, M8 etc. I don't think it will flip, but I doubt it's a hit at the same time.
But like Rillo, I'll just enjoy Lollipop with my 5, no point in complaining anymore
maybe we get a price drop sometime soon End of an era for sure

What's good NT fam.. Looking to get the Note 4 for Verizon but off contract so I can keep my unlimited data plan. I spoke with a Verizon rep and he told me the only way to keep my unlimited data plan is to purchase the phone through their Customer Care. Any truth to this? Can't I just buy it at full retail price from Best Buy or somewhere else?

Anyone know if Google is still replacing N5s with cracked screens?

I would like to know this as well. Also what do you need to show or give google if you ask for a repair?
