just get a Nexus 6 if t5he 6P is too costly.
Are the rest of T-Mobile's LTE bands really that weak for inside coverage? How do Verizon and AT&T compare?
Verizon uses LTE band 13 and AT&T uses LTE band 17 for their 700mhz frequency coverage. T-Mobile only just recently started using LTE band 12, and they are still in the process of rolling it out across the US.
Welcome to the club!

Thanks! I'll have 2 weeks to decide if I wanna keep it. Band 12 is legit. We have it in Dallas and it improved my LTE coverage in my apartment alot and calls sounded much better on it on my OP2.

yes. low band frequencies just have better indoor penetration.
the others, including Sprint, already used low band frequencies.

Speaking of Moto X Pure/Style and the Moto E from the last few pages:
Verizon and AT&T Moto X (2nd Gen) apparently wont get Android 6.0 updates

Glad to see more and more of you are seeing the light and merging onto the iWay.

Did you contact Google to see if you could add Nexus Protect to your order after the fact? I was thinking of canceling as well for the same reason you did.

Nexus Protection is a waste of money. You pay pay for the service and then have to pay a deductible. It costs more than the cost of a screen replacement.

Isn't that always the case? And I'd think it was for something worse

If you would just put a goddamn case and screen protector on your phone, total outlay $30, you wouldn't need any goddamned phone insurance unless you are really unlucky or clumsy.
My wife has broken her phone once and her screen twice in two years. I'm not sure what you think it costs to get your screen replaced, but depending on where I go locally it's ~125. That's a savings of $10 for a single incident. Any 2nd breakage or phone issue in the 2nd year is pure profit for me.

They made it bigger lol
Yes I did and they couldn't do nothing about it. So I had to cancel.

So, uh... Does anyone have a recommendation for Android game controls with clips?
Preferably something with a nice, clicky dpad. Would like to max my budget at $50 but I can stretch further.

Exactly. I got a $10 Tudia case on my OPO and it has protected it from several drops with no damage to the phone.
So locally it's $125 for a broken screen. Isn't Nexus Protect like $89 + a $79 deductible? That's $168 bucks so you are still losing if you only break your screen one time.

Alternatives to the Nexus 5X that isn't $430 goddamn dollars?
Google probably added the $30 because fuck you I'm Google

Only on my wife's phone which will be the 5X.
I'll take my chances that there will be enough damage in two years to replace it twice. It's a pretty good bet

I'm thinking about buying a spare battery/charger for my G4, any site/seller you can recommend? I'm afraid of getting a fake or something.

Got my moto x style yesterday! Great device so far, very fast and snappy and the screen is gorgeous. Been off charger for 16 hours now with nearly 4 hours screen on time and 10% left on my very first charge, not bad at all.

LG's official store?
Man, why did Google have to skimp out on 3GB RAM for the 5X. I would've ordered one already if it had that. It's nitpicky, but I feel like this phone would've felt like a much better value if it were just $30 less at the original's $350. I guess that's why they threw in the Google Play gift card.

For the US. For all other countries, they raised the price by 20-30% and removed the gift card
God I'll never stop being salty about this. y u do dis to me googy. Where's my X Play already.
Nexus 6 if Android pay via finger print reader isn't a priority and you want the latest version of Android.
One Plus Two if you're willing to forego longer battery life, 6" AMOLED display, stereo speakers, latest version of Android and NFC for a 64-bit chip, quick charging and fingerprint reader (that won't work with Android pay).
Choices are limited to say the least. I'd fork over the extra $30.
My account got charged today for the Nexus 6P order FWIW. Hopefully they means they're planning on shipping soon. If it does come quicker than the 2-4 November expected delivery date, I'll be posting some impressions! Heck... I'll just post impressions when it arrives anyway. Can't wait!

Did you get charged today or is it just the holding charge from the 29th?
I still have the latter.

Fingerprint, ok. 64 bit idgaf and no one else should, either. It isn't a thing yet. We are in the infancy, which is good, but poors shouldn't care.
For $300: Zenfone 2, 64GB space, 4GB RAM - might be the first ever lagless Android phone.
I'm honestly not sure, now you've mentioned it.
The money has gone from the account today, it would be likely to be a holding charge though, you're right.

This is making my decision of iPhone 6S+ vs Nexus 6P harder.

Nexus 5 Resale value is pretty good.
I saw it sold for $170 on Swappa.
So the seller made $155, or $145 after shipping.
