Pretty nifty stuff Samuel. I’ve got the 6+. It’s amazing to me how much use I get out of my phone and the help it provides me.

Poisonfangs85Member since Feb 2015

Looks pretty schnazzy. I remember when my cell phone was a glorified wrist watch, now I need it for everything.

BigmikezMember since Jun 2013

Looks cool Sam I’m still on the 4s :/ but it’s lasted me awhile and there’s no problems with it….yet.

NERemodelingMember since Aug 2014

It’s got really good balance skills! 🙂

Looks like a sick phone, stats are great…

That screen us a monster!! 6″?!?! That’s bigger than the note and the 6+

I’ve got the note 3 and got used to the 5.7″ screen quickly, now I would never go back to a small screen.. your gonna love it!

Jason SnyderMember since Dec 2014

also Just purchased the 6 plus i use it everyday for business.

I feel you Mike. I have had my iphone 4 for almost three years now but I haven’t had any issue at all so I really have no need to upgrade.

Yea when people say 6″ is to big and that in order for it to be a phone and not a tablet you have to be able to type on the keyboard with one hand, I just sigh look at them hold up my Goliath hands and explain that I can hold a 4.75″ phone and easily touch all 4 corners with my thumb without moving where my hand is.

 

I was really considering the Note 4 because they have the same specks on the internals but the dual front speakers and stock android pushed me to get the Nexus 6.

Remember when everything was about getting smaller, when did things go in reverse.

When the 40+ year old slaves to fashion realized they coulndn’t see their phone. LOL

chadlanthierMember since Mar 2013

I have to admit I used to watch videos on itouch, now I’m like how the hell can u see anything. I do turn 40 this year, so that must be the problem.

comp56Member since Sep 2014

they told me if I didn’t stop doing that I’d go blind…so I stopped when I couldn’t see my cell phone screen….

Samuel L.Member since Sep 2014

Phone came in the mail today loving it and going to take it to the provider I chose to get it setup with a SIM card tomorrow, but I decided to get a smart watch to go with it because always having to whip out a 6 inch phone to look at notifications is a pain and smart watches have seem to advanced to a level where I find them satisfactory in function, So i ordered a LG G watch R today, chose it because it is the only smart watch that LOOKS LIKE A REAL WATCH it took them long enough for them to realize that maybe people don’t want a dorky looking square strapped to there wrist, here is a picture of it.

Very cool sam

madman_usMember since Sep 2014

wow that looks pretty good man

DamianDMember since Dec 2013

Very cool.  Ill have to look into that watch. I also hated the fact that all the smart watches looked like little miniature iphones on your wrist.  I like a watch that looks like a watch. Hows the quality on the lg? Is it plastic?

The frame is made of stainless steel but I’m getting a laminated glass screen protector for the screen.

NordrawMember since Dec 2012

Phone is only as good as the provider. Who do you have?

I’m with a realitivly new provider they have been here in Canada for 5 years there called wind Mobile. They only realy have coverage in the larger cities but they have decent 4G speeds where I live.

But the advantage with them is that for 35$ a month I get unlimited talk, text and data(after I hit 5 gigabytes they slow your speed for the rest of the month). But I am enjoying it so far, and because I bought the phone directly from Google I can cancel my plan at anytime without any fees and go to any other provider I choes.

I’m still rocking an original Iphone4 a I’m cheap and B I don’t use my smartphone as much as I used to. Just maps texting and photos. I don’t use many apps like I used to.

One of my coworkers is still rocking the iPhone 1st gen and its funny because he has no case for it but it still has the original screen with no cracks.

DR99Member since Nov 2012

That is pretty crazy I can’t imagine too many people still using original Iphones. I would be curious to see the statistics.

frankiegarcia19Member since Jan 2014

Nexus 6 is awesome. Just fo fam big for me..i like the new gflex 2

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012

I’ve tried my wife’s iPhone 5s since getting the 6+ and I don’t know how I used it for so long. This guy is big but you get used to it fairly quickly. Plus the expanded memory is phenomenal.

madman_usMember since Sep 2014

i pick new phones when i extend the contract. then im at least 2y up to date 😀

DR99Member since Nov 2012

I think we get screwed with how much the phones cost and how much monthly service costs. It’s not bad if you can go pre paid or be part of someones family plan. As a single person its freaking horrible.

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012

Before I got married DR I was dropping two bones on my verizon bill. It sucked.

DR99Member since Nov 2012

If I knew someone to hook up on a family plan I would. I would just have to trust them not to fuck me over. I would give like 200 up front or a couple bucks a month. That way he’s saving money on his bill really. The good thing is Iphones might be nice but they are making some awesome Android phones for under 200 bucks now. We have kind of hit a wall in smartphone updates. I just need a phone that does a few basic things and does them well.

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012

I think the pro to iPhone is FaceTime and text as it doesn’t use data or texts but…..you’ve got to have people with iPhones to reciprocate.
