I asked about the Nexus 6. The rep said she didn't have information on contract prices, yet. So I told her to call me back when she did.

Hey...if I can get it at a cheap contract price, I might just pick it up. Then I'll just swap between the Nexus 6 and the OnePlus One.

Nothing really of note, just "coming soon".

Yeah. That's how I kind of feel now actually. 2 years is not that long with a phone. 3 was brutal, but 2 is decent. Think I might look at the Nexus 6 on contract when mine is up.

I'm disappointed. I was very interested in a 6 in the $400-500 price range. For now I guess I'll stick with the 5 for a while.

Sounds like OTA's for the 7's and 10 will roll out on Nov 3rd and the 4 and 5 will be after that. So a void two or three weeks for Android 5 to come out. I used the old preview and it was quite nice, will give the new one tomorrow a whirl as well.

Yeah buts what made a great off contract choice. Solid technology at a bargain price. The monthly rates one pays for 2 year contracts is criminal. Would cost me around $60 extra per month to go on new contract (which almost doubles it).

N6 is a bit pricey to buy outright - and makes the 1+1 look like an even better alternative

32GB max storage with no MicroSD support is a nonstarter for me. I need room for music and videos.

Yeah you're right, I was thinking of the Nexus 9 only having 32GB, which is even worse.

I trust these guys as reviewers so here you go:



EDIT: mah, just an unboxing video. Probably a week before their full review. Sorry.

Bring on the unboxing videos!

Two of the better tech youtubers out there.



A lot of my Google apps have been updated to Material Design over the past week, only calendar and people/contacts is waiting. Play Store was updated a couple weeks back and in recent days Music, Movies/TV and Gmail yesterday. Loving Material Design so far, it's a beautiful change. Can't wait for actual reviews of the Nexus 6.
