My Nexus 6P says "PENDING"!
I may keep it despite owning a iPhone 6S Plus.

I've been on 'pending' for a week. If it follows the same pattern as the 5X, we should get charged this week with shipments going out next week.
Well yes, we already know your phone is cursed by the spirits. I wouldn't want to give that specific one to anyone either as it may eat their soul
"Fuck me, it are my would and it only have me 15 more mins SoT. What a fucking rip!"
These spirits are persistent buggers. They vanished for a while after my fresh install Marshmellow exorcism, but returned full force over the weekend with a new trick in tow. Their latest scare includes loading low-res app icons in the launcher when the device slows to a crawl.
Truly frightening. Perhaps, it's a Halloween-themed device feature. Thanks, Moto Googy!
Jelly. My 5X is still stuck on pending. Hasn't even gone to processing yet.

HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIi
My hype just took over my body. Dear lord....

So Sony is rolling out Marshmallow with their new skin to 10K (Z3 and Z3 compact) people now and the rest of the rollout will happen later. Nice that it still looks like stock. Way better than before.

Another addition that comes to both the 4K and 5K iMacs is a wider color gamutprevious iMacs used the sRGB color space, but the new Retina models support "over 99 percent" of the DCI-P3 color space common in digital movie theaters. DCI-P3 encompasses the entire sRGB color space but is capable of displaying more shades of red and green (which also affects secondary and tertiary colors like yellow, orange, magenta, and cyan, though blues in DCI-P3 are roughly the same as in sRGB).
To support this wider color gamut, Apple has switched away from using standard white LEDs for backlighting, which typically combine a blue LED with a yellow phosphor to create white. Apple is now using red-green phosphor LEDs to expand the color gamut, a strategy previously demonstrated by LCD makers like Sharp.

So nice! Sony is really bringing that Android almost stock mentality. They are starting to slowly remind me of Moto. I hope my mom gets it so I can play around.
I live in a cold place and need a pair that can work under a hood or beanie.
Which is great apart from Android not supporting anything higher than sRGB. It's the same with virtually all web content.

Web didn't support retina for awhile, too. We will get there.
"Android is open!"
looks nice.
I never understood why these companies don't just offer a toggle to turn their phones into a pure Android edition.

Lol, but I think Google is right on this one. Samsung could really use it since the battery life on some of their phones are just trash and they clearly can't do Software right.
Still too open for my taste.
OEMs can always go the Microsoft side, but they would probably be in the same boat.

there is never enough hype for that new phone feel
Hmm. That and the battery prompts sounds pretty good. I'll incubate on it for a while though.
It's a bigger step. If we switched now the pictures would look washed out on older devices.

Apple sold 50K iphones in 10 mins in south korea. Samsung shed a tear somewhere. They dropped the prices there too lol. Hope they keep getting burned because I like "underdog" samsung. It finally made them step up hardware for the s6, maybe they'll try again in 2016.
I use underdog loosely as they are the only android manufacturer selling phones in NA.

That ain't new tech.
It is when Apple does it.
Sony's stamina mode was Doze that was also able to affect Google Play Services and it's rampant battery needs, so if Google are banning that it isn't great.

Interesting. Thanks. But retina is a good comparison. The non retina stuff looked bad when we switched. It was painful but here we are today, happier.
It is, in a mainstream consumer product for the first time.

A prominent XDA member daboyal006 got a 6P to review/test, and he's doing an AMA here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/64g-nexus-6p-questions-t3228798
He tested battery life today under his normal usage, and he made it a bit over 6hrs screen-on time using LTE only, no WiFi. He did not deactivate anything, and he's using adaptive brightness at 50%. This corroborates the AndroidHeadlines review. Neat.

Hopefully Sony uses Doze to make the battery life of the Z5C god tier.
Carriers need to step in and force Sony's hand here. Encourage Sony to at least offer the Z5C with 3 gigs of RAM and a 1080p screen. Market it as an 4.7 inch alternative to the Nexus 5X. Is there a store link somewhere to the Z5CP or was that a confirmed rumor? Can someone explain to me how the Z5C can shoot video in 1080p and 4K yet Sony did not include a formal 1080p display?
Need a new phone but hate the options available because there are too many compromises.

I'm hoping we can find something better here, but family is adamant on staying with at&t since they work there and can get u-verse with a discounted monthly rate. That's cool and all, but it still has a data cap. I'm gonna have to do some research and see what is available that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and offers significantly better speeds than what we get now.

Why hasn't Valve sued Google for stealing the Dota 2 logo yet?

i have been waiting forever for the local cable company to finally offer internet service here. i can't jump ship fast enough.
and man, the difference in how long it takes to talk to a human (seconds vs 30 minutes on hold) is already a good sign.

They take a hold of the money right away so you haven't been charged yet
I just find it weird that it's been 2 days and I didn't even get a confirmation of the order.

You forgot they're releasing their new iPhone?!
My Nexus 6p still says preordered.
Are you a mid-November ship? I'm pending and I'm two weeks out.

Strikes the balance between midrange specs, terrible battery life, and iphone knockoff design.
