If it didn't have a slider and ran stock android it would be alright. Blackberry usually has good hardware.

Slow news week, and iphone agents has infltrated the thread. Honestly, if the Nexus is disappointing, I'll get the iphone to see what the fuss is about.
Yes, good, good.

You don't care about your PRIV-acy.
Why do you care what other people do with their hard earned money?
I'm a drug dealer. It's not THAT hard.

NEED a new phone every year and WANT a new phone every year are very different. It's really easy when you're on a 2 year cycle. I usually use my upgrade every 2 yrs on expensive stuff and the year in between I buy something affordable off contract. I also sell so I don't lose a lot of money.

Agent Wreav's mission is a success.
I can understand allure of phones or people getting bored with their current one. My phone screen is cracked and it bothers me.
I seemingly fixed my battery life on the nexus 6, it's better than ever before.
I went into apps and and cleared the cache of play services, followed by a reboot.
Today my phone has been off the charger since 6:30am MST and I still have 75% left. Granted that's minimal use, only about 1 hour of screen on time. But by this point yesterday I was in the 30% range.

Hopefully you take the other people with you to the iPhone thread. 🌚👉
I have an international nexus 5 and I'm coming back stateside in December.
I wont get lte if I keep my current phone.

I finally switched phones after 2 years and I have buyers remorse.
Keep the receipt.

It's more of a want than need. I'm super happy with my Nexus 5, but the camera and battery could be better.
Don't need it but its nice to have.
The iPhone retains its value pretty well so if I sell it right before the new one releases, I can usually get the latest and greatest for a little less than $200 which isn't much on an yearly basis.
I also keep a backup Android phone around in case I get bored of iOS or I need a phone to use if the other is broken or when its sold.
But I decided not to do that with the 6S this year. My 6's screen is shattered and I'd rather just get it fixed. I'll go when the 6S craze dies down and I can just walk into the Apple Store. The M7 I'm using is still serviceable but I do want something new from the Android end. Leaning towards the 6P or a Note 5 if I can find one for cheap.

Yep, just tried at Apple store. Turning the keyboard into a track pad is god tier.

has calmed down a bit.
Wait...I thought the edge + and the Note 5 had the same cameras as the regular edge and s6? Did they switch cameras for the edge +?

Lol, they won't leave until everyone is brainwashed.
I always do.

Would love to know overall sales for this phone after a while compared to the first.

What are the major improvements and new features in Marshmallow? I just realized that I know nothing about the update, other than the Google Now On Tap stuff.
Battery life, fingerprint stuff, better app permissions system, better device backups, visual voicemail.
Basically a lot of stuff iOS used to have over Android.

I'm pretty sure HTC has had the live photos thing for a few years already.

I think they'll pass sales of the first because of India and China. Those seem like their big focus right now. I think it dropped like a brick in the US though once the Moto X came out.

Oh, right. I somehow forgot about the most exciting feature for me. Granular app permissions.
Best feature ever. Thanks, Sundar.
Yeah Zoes were awesome. Used to use it all the time.
But thats not the point. HTC isn't even relevant.
Samsung is like the annoying little brother who plays with your shit when you're not around and tries to copy everything you do in a half assed way.

Yes and no. They do push technology as well.

So I really hate the new app drawer. Why not just let us choose if we want it to scroll let to right or up and down.

Not shitty cameras?

On Android, perhaps.
Android is all about customization. Just install Nova launcher or whatever you like the most and live the life of your dreams.
With this The Verge camera test and Android M closing the gap to iOS, let us all hold hands and be positive for the future. There can only be good things coming on Android.

Don't.
Reasons? I'm fully prepared to go down in a blaze of glory with HTC.
Idk Multi tasking is the only decent one I can think of. They also wanted you to scroll through your phone with your face.
I miss the good old days when it was blatantly obvious
Their wonderful 132 page manual on how to be more like the iPhone
Heat issues. Mediocre camera. Go G4, S6, Note, Z5... Really anything else.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Horizontal scrolling is slower and confusing when you install or uninstall an app. You have no control over the apps on the page. The new launcher is a better design choice.
Half the reason I go HTC is for that sexy build quality. Heat issues and a garbage camera are just to be expected at this point.

wtf lol do not do this
reasons: it sucks
f you want good build quality and a phone that doesn't completely suck why not just get an S6?
I lost interest in keeping up with technology over the past few years. You're telling me Samsung is where I should go for build quality now?

yes. or z5
S6/S6e/Note4/Note5 are every bit as good at least as HTC at this point.
