You're better off just sticking with the iPhone my man.
I'm assuming you're on an iPhone now, right?
so far with my 5x a few days it looks like I'm gonna get around 3.5 to 4hrs sot. not bad at all for my usage, chrome has been a consistent #1 on what uses the battery the most.
like reviews say I have some performance hiccups here and there nothing too bad but definitely noticable. the front speaker while not amazing is still better than most bottom or rear speakers

Yeeeeppp. The metal sides is glorious and it's so lightweight. It's fantastic so far. Now we have to test the battery life.

this thread hath declared war on my soul (until my Graphite 128gb 6P arrives)
Super jealous! But it's good to see everyone enjoying their purchase and not regretting.
Hopefully I can get a $25 discount, but not sure mine has been delayed. i already have a 11/5-9 date anyway. Seems like it's been at pending forever though.

Wow you got it fast. I was going to torture you with some pics.Just got my 6P and holy fuck it's perfect. Never going any bigger in width. You will not be missed Nexus 6 width and curved back!
The feedback from touching the screen feels hella different though.
*Lightweight in the hand and it feels premium at the same time.
*Lightning quick. I'm glad I used a moto g for 3 weeks before getting this so I could truly appreciate the speed.
*Fingerprint scanner takes some getting used to since I've been using pattern swipes forever. It's still reads my fingerprint quickly.
*I haven't charged it besides for 10 minutes since I had to go to school but it lost 1% in my 45 minute train commute.
*I want to take pictures in the city later on today to see how well the camera does.

All the stuff i love so far
* I don't feel like I have a 3DS XL in my pcoket anymore
* Doesn't take ages to boot up like the original Nexus 6
* Feels as premium as an iPhone
* Fingerprint reader is godsend
* No curved back
* Lighter than Nexus 6
* No more looking for right way to plug in charger
* Doesn't seem laggy so far
* NO MORE GOD DAMN BUTT DIALING
Only problem so far is that it can't see my SIM card (It works fine inside my N6) and charging says it will take 4 hours for a full charge lol

On my N5 it feels hella good. I love the screen touch compared to N6.
Can't wait for 6p, 2 more weeks!

having real trouble getting the 6P camera to focus on things when it's close

Me too, unless the subject has a very defined texture, like wood grain.
If I manual focus it seems the minimum focus distance is about 8cm.
A month to become the worst and then 6 months later it will become the best again.
Almost to day 3 of #teamprocessing. I was charged (32GB Graphite) early Monday morning and nothing since. It's somewhat annoying to see people order in the last day and already have them processed/shipped. It is crazy they would ship to people who just ordered vs. those who have pre-ordered since day one. I'm sure there is some crazy logistical reason for it.

It was weird not having NFC tap to transfer on the setup screen this time. It was probably because all those dumbfucks transferring their tablets on accident.
You obviously never tried the original 6
Man this fucking phone is huge.
I need to get used to it.
MY GOD...fast charge is a godsend.
Heavens no.
I had the option to do the NFC tap thing.

I feel like 148mm or less is the biggest I can get used to in height. I've had huge troubles with anything taller. For width 70mm is my sweet spot. Anything higher is a hassle. X play is 75 and I find the wideness impossible to get used to. Meh.
for the -3 Verizon customers that really wanted the V10...apparently its gonna release this Friday. I went to see if they had a turbo 2 on display and the manager there told me "the turbo 2 is out tomorrow and the new lg phone will be on Friday" I said " new lg phone???"and he said "I think its the v10, yeah the v10"
Its about the same focal distance limitation as the OG N6. One of the first thing we tried a couple weeks back.

BTW did you get an invoice in your box? either I didn't or in my excitement lost it.
So did I.
Quick impressions:
- Both front and back cameras are great. I don't take selfies unless my wife asks me to take one with her, but I tried it and it's very good.
- This thing is fast!
- This thing is big! I had a Moto X Pure for a few weeks and this feels appreciably bigger than that device, but it's not completely unwieldy. I'll get used to it.
- Fingerprint reader is every bit as fast and accurate as you've heard. Much better than the one I had on my Galaxy S6.
- It really is a great looking device. I got a graphite model (although the label on the box says "grey"). The only thing I don't like is that the put the little label with my S/N and model no. between the Nexus logo and the fingerprint sensor. Why not put it at the bottom?
- I wish the speaker grilles stood out from the screen just a tiny bit so I could set it face down sometimes without worrying about scratching the glass.
- I won't be able to form an opinion on the battery for a few days.
All in all, very happy so far. I change phones a lot because I can never find something that has everything I want (stock Android, fast updates, good camera, and good battery), but I think I finally have a winner.

I believe you can peel that label with the serial number and whatnot off.

I didn't get an invoice, unless I lost it too...
I peeled mine off and it didn't leave any residue.

Yeah the Nexus 5 had one too and you could just peel it off
EDIT: Damnit rookie mistake of the double post
iPhones aren't worth my time.
beyond salty at all you guys.
wtf google, i go to check on my order all of a sudden and it's cancelled?
called google though and they said this was a recent issue with some orders and that they'll look into it and follow back with me. nothing that can be done though so i just have to wait till it comes back in stock. any estimates on when that'll be lol?
this lg g2 needs to retire, burn and die. it's time for a new phone.

Everytime I see the Droid Turbo 2 I bust out laughing. Can't take that front logo seriously. It's Note 2 levels of bad.
Oh and the 2 speakers flanking the big V? Only 1 has sound....

It's really easy to one hand the 6P. Maybe you're being overly anxious about your new phone?

I thought the devices received a software update that enabled it. Could be wrong, I just remember reading about it.
i just saw it for the first time. That is beyond hilarious. Reminds me of their Note 2. And that tacky DROID logo on the back. They're lucky they have the best service in the states or nobody would even be buying their butchered phones. Thankfully T-Mobile is full bars for me all the time here in NYC.
