It is stupid when you can't use it anyway. NFC being there for Android Pay adds zero value is Android Pay is not available. There's no choice to be made.

The Facebook app doesn't work with the latest software (Lol)
oh and there's the issue with grounding and the Home button. Holding onto the sides of the phone with no case on for some reason makes the Home button really hit or miss.

Can't use it? I'm pretty sure I can use it.
You're holding it wrong.

I see the 6P is now completely OOS on the UK store
Am I remembering incorrectly or does anyone also notice this issue with Google now:
When creating calendar events, I used to be able to say:
and it'd recognize both start and end time, no fuss. Now, it just defaults to an hour and ignores the event end time, requiring me to go into the event and edit the details.
I don't think this was a Moto X (2013) feature even though that was the only device I had used when I started using Google Now frequently. With the same device and on 5.1, it still defaults to an hour.

The charging is not that slow, it charges in 90 minutes, same as the Oneplus One. I had the One and now I have the OP2.
Also I've never had any issues with either phone, hardware wise. The OP2 does have some issues with a few apps, but that should be fixed eventually as the get the OS running better.
I also have no issue with the home button on the OP2 (they apparently fixed it in phones that started to ship in Sept). I don't use a case either.

I don't even hate the OP2 but the lack of NFC is funny. It's just that the company is so damn tone deaf that it's hard to believe. No NFC + 810 + type c 2.0 = 2016 flagship killer lol
I don't think Type C 3.0/3.1 will come until the fourth quarter next year. it's not something that simple. But yeah, no NFC is funny.

Nexus 6P will ship this Tuesday. Book it.
LOL at the dude whose girlfriend bought him a One Minus Two over a Nexus. Swallow your pride and tell her that while you appreciate it, the phone sucks and you want a Nexus. You're in for a bad relationship if you can't communicate something like that.
A significant amount of shopping in Germany doesn't even do credit cards. It's either cash or EC card debit. Rubbish.

I've come to realization that OnePlus didn't make the OP2 for the US market and don't care about the customers here. They are all about India now. Still not a bad piece of hardware if you flash cyanogen on it. Oxygen is bad. Cheapest phone out with the specs it has.

That's a good point. It's an ideal phone for the Indian market, based on my time at XDA, which I haven't visited in years.
The OP2 is almost half the price of the Nexus 6P (£280 vs £500 comparing the 64GB models). Android Pay still has no ETA here either.
Some of you don't seem to appreciate just how bad Google's international pricing is this year and how bad US tech companies are at rolling out services outside of the US.

Those that don't understand won't care because they are enjoying superior services at lower prices.

I already called it on Tuesday. If it does, everyone has to switch their Frost order to something else.

What's bad about Oxygen? Of the whole 10 minutes I've used the phone, that is one of the things I probably would not bitch about.

I like this bet.

So if it doesn't, do you have to cancel your order?

You've only used it 10 minutes. Things come to light when you use it more like instability with certain apps and general sluggishness. Lots of bugs like screen color settings not being applied after rebooting even though it shows the adjustment in the menu.

no way the Nexus is shipping on Tuesday here
Id like it to but it won't happen.
Also i've not noticed anything slugish with OxygenOS. sure there's a bit of a delay with going back to the home screen but that doesn't happen with the on screen controls (Not sure why)

It was already leaked by someone on Reddit a few days ago that they would ship Tuesday.

I gave you guys that oct 26 date like 2-3 weeks ago. And I said it was global. At least for carriers.
You're welcome.

That's for carrier buyers. The plebs who have their hands out begging to finance then cry when daddy doesn't give them instant updates.

Does this mean it's also going to be at AT&T even though sprints not selling it because God I hope so. I'd love to do a monthly payment with my plan.

You mean to say I'll get my 5X AND 6P on Wednesday?
That would be a fine day indeed.
