Yeah man a super good deal, I been thinking about going and picking on up just because of the price drop! Then I will be content with stock android and iOS.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah I might walk over to Best Buy and get one. My local store did have the 64GB in stock but now I believe they are sold out. I will opt for just the 32GB version since I have a USB OTG device. If I do get it I might have to check that Android M preview.

5.1.1 has been great on the N6 and has improved battery life. I got LTE / 4G finally in my area and even with this turned on it hasn't dramatically impacted my battery life. 20-50mb LTE in Rural Ireland is unreal. If only we had download caps that could let you take advantage of it rather than 1-2gb ......
Nope no slowdown. As others have said it's a very fast phone that has got better with every update.
I want to dive in and get another N6 but I feel like the life of the phone is already over since its been out for awhile not. Its between the N6 and the G4. Man I hate having this phone addiction!
Not sure about play store but on carriers it came out in November and the iPhone was released in September.
I dunno, I just look at Nexus devices as I do iOS devices in the sense that the ecosystem just works, but because it's android you still have the ability to customize the experience.
My Nexus performs better in terms of smoothness and day to day operations than the wife's s6 even though it has "dated hardware".
Ah.
And it still performs just as good as, if not better than, the top three phones out recently.
What app pack are you using @Tig Bitties
Polycon - Icon Pack

Off topic, but this new Mac Rumors website format blows, sorry, but not liking this at all since the change recently.
The new format/skin definitely keeps me from visiting this forum as much as I did ... All this white space is an eye sore for me!! I need a dark theme, at least!
Could somebody make a thread to complain about the new board layout so it can stop infecting everything else?
sorry
No reason to apologize, everyone is doing it. And maybe it's also because I'm tired at work and a bit of a horrible person.
Really!! Which bit of a horrible person are you ? The toe ? Ankle? Left bum cheek ?
FWIW I like the new forum ... It works great on my Nexus 6
[see how I managed to bring it back OT really subtlety by crow-baring in the N6]

Right bum cheek, actually.
Also, King of Subtlety right here!
By the way, M is looking to make the Nexus 6 even more amazing than before. I can only imagine what it'll be like when it's actually finished. Although it does kind of bug me that Google is making their Camera app work best with the Nexus 6. I generally assumed they wouldn't do that sort of thing. :\
