Yep, I'm still waiting on it, too, though thankfully I rarely use my Chase debit card.

most android phones you can set it as your default SMS app. you don't have to worry about getting them on there
Apple will do it first, that sounds right up their BS marketing alley.

What about holes for speakers?

I knew there was a reason I don't bank with them.
Who needs them with inner ear bone resonance engines?
I'm using it a lot. The fact that it counts for my reward points is good. Also, the chume is indeed satisfying. Just want Chase and Charles Schwab to support it, and I'm all in.
The Sapphire Preferred is a really good card. I got this after I got the Chase Freedom and alternate between them during the year with Sapphire getting most of the use. I'd never open a checking account with them though. Credit union 4 life

I have the Chase Amazon but I only use it on Amazon. I use Discover and Citi Bank mostly for my CC needs.
Moto E is a damn solid phone. I'm coming from an iphone 6 and using the Moto E as an interim device. Instead of getting the 6S I'm seriously thinking of switching back to android.
This much phone for $40 is quite amazing.

Yep, me too.
Yea. Leasing, for those who cannot afford a OnePlus.

I remember the days where plebs had to pay a mortgage. Pfft. Just paid cash for my house yesterday.
Mortgage, for those people who want to invest 80% of their income in the housing market.
If a mortgage is 80% of someone's income they are failing hard.
Then why are people leasing phones if they have so much money left over after expenses?
Lots of people who are making it paycheck to paycheck.
Because paying up front for a phone is dumb if you can lease it and it costs the same amount.
Most of the carrier programs are a straight no-interest loan. If you're going to pay full price, it's kind of silly to not take the loan.
That said, I might be done with them simply because I want factory unlocked phones now. Still on 5.0.2 on my AT&T GS6.
Supposedly the 5.1.1 version Samsung gave to AT&T failed QA. Wouldn't be surprised if AT&T just skipped 5.1.1 and went straight to 6.0 in October.
Interesting. Though 6.0 in October sounds like a fairytale.

He didn't say what year.
Yeah, October probably won't happen. Although I know with LG they completely skipped the last version of Jelly Bean and went straight to Lollipop on the G3 on AT&T as well. So I guess we'll see.

I could say a lot about the huawei nexus but no sites have reported some of it so I don't want to say anything lol too obvious to link back to me.
We just have to pray to the leak gods.

Why do you keep telling us this if you can't say anything?

Such as? Give us vague details about what you know. Do you know specs? Pricing? Why it looks so ugly?

As usual.

so how shitty is it?

Yep. People have been saying that since the first Moto X, and I agree.

So awesome.

I already gave pricing and the fact that the display might be amoled!
The rest is just more details on stuff we already know. Nothing worthwhile anyway. Carrier launch of mid 20s of October for Canada.
LG is the one I want leaks on most and have none. I'd agree with the Moto x thing if it were smaller and not missing fingerprint. Deal breakers are deal breakers.
are you as much of an insider as pctx was?
-Pyromaniac-
Member
I actually work high up for a major carrier. And this kinda stuff comes through my view. I'd prove it to any mod if they wanted me to.
Ok cool because as we all know that he wasn't lol. Speaking of pctx, I went searched heis profile and holy shit at the post that got him perm'd. What a dumbass, lol

Is the Nexus 6 screen really that bad?
I feel like your dream phone would be the phone I'd hate the most. No ports, LCD screen and 6.5 inches.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
LCD is just better.

see the thing is I don't know if the detailed spec sheet I saw is from the OEM, or it's speculation, or half confirmed half speculation. I guess I'll find out when it comes out.

I wish I could comment on this. The last AMOLED device I had was the Galaxy Nexus, which had the worst screen ever. It was a total letdown after the gorgeous screen of my Zune HD. That said, I'm very happy with the screen in the Nexus 5 and don't see myself wishing for a better screen.
How much is it?
