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.

lol.. nah you ain't horrible at all, but this new format just drives me up the wall.. I might just start using Tapatalk for now :p Just not too accommodating with change :D

OTH, I did flash M on my N6 and I started getting ' No Service ! ' on T-Mobile (I have to reboot and all is well for a few hrs and then rinse/repeat), so I reverted back to 5.1.1 and all is well.. How is your's faring with M ? Any RF or data issues ?

I loved M.. great battery...really snappy performance and that almost-there-dark-theme was exciting!

I'm waiting for a dev update before flashing M again.. Can't have a phone with ' No Service ' !

To be honest, I'm not using my N6 as a phone per se. I have one data plan, and if I move from the phone I have I don't get the special "trade in every year for a new phone" deal from Sprint. So it's mainly been used at places with Wi-Fi.

Totally agree. This phone gets better with each upgrade. I can't believe I lived in the Samsung TW world for so long suffering from lag and slow updates.

God I can't agree with you more. Never again will I touch a Samsung phone.

Here in the UK the Nexus6 has £80 off for the next few days. The 64gb is now £469. Do you guys still think this is worth it or should we wait until the next gen is announced and released?

I am about to sideload as well.

Kind of off topic but since the board changed, where is the icon to skip to the last post on a thread when you visited? It used to be by the thread title and it would jump right to where I left off last time I was here. I don't see it and now I have to click on the last post and scroll back up to what I missed. PAIN!

I caved too, my latest nexus, have only skipped the 5, anyone else giving Project Fi a shot?

Got my project Fi SIM card and have it activated, considering letting my unlimited VZ plan go in a few months if Project Fi works out for me.

I don't use that much cell data except on vacations and trips, at less than 1/2 the monthly price, my data overages will be less than the monthly cost of the VZ plan.

Only thing that irritates me is is the way Google took my Google Voice number, forever, evidently :(

There was a huge thread over on XDA about how to activate and users experiences with the service.

you might want to look into selling that VZW unlimited plan

I'm not really sure what is entailed, but I was told I should have sold my ATT unlimited plan instead of just letting it go

Can't help with the project FI questions!

I've read about it, not really sure. It may involve sharing personal details with a stranger, not really sure how it is done - definitely do some research. I know for sure people still sell ATT ipad unlimited plans for $500 ++

I did this with my oldest son when he went out on his own. You go to your carrier store and tell them you are going to transfer a number to someone else. Then they go through all the process of transferring it over to the other person. Its done all the time. Some people sell their unlimited numbers on eBay too but not sure how that process plays out on an auction site.
