Seriously or are you taking the pee?

You want two phones but only want to carry one

Superglue - an adhesive that can stick two items together

Seriously that really needed explaining ?

Clearly the little humour chuckle factor is now well and truly lost when it has to be explained...


But that originally wasn't funny to me :)

Back on a Nexus 6 theme,

Fragmentation has just reared its ugly head.

Flagship Nexus phone less than a year old running stock Android? No, you can't have MS Office. Seriously?

"Not compatible with your device".

To be more precise:

"This app is incompatible with all of your devices"
Weird...

I know, you'd think wouldn't you, but no. Might try this side loading wotsit.

Also just found out there are zero NFC payment methods that work in the UK with the Nexus 6. AAARRRRGGGGHHHH.

I just bought one and it should arrive Saturday (Thank goodness USPS does Saturday deliver). I plan on rooting it and installing cyanogenmod. I'm new to android, but am very experience messing around with software as I have been jailbreaking since 2009. Anyone have any suggestions of things to install/download? Any fun things to do for a first time android user coming from a jb 6plus?

Just a bit frustrating that EE has Cash on Tap but it only works with about 10 handsets. So many features on both iOS and Android that despite fanboys on both sides racing about them, aren't actually available - WiFi calling another one. Won't be holding my breath there.....

I would hold off on flashing CM and go stock for a while. People JB iPhones for the basic functionality you get out of Android. While CM is stable for a customer ROM it still has its bug which break basic functionality.

I know what I'm doing. I dont jb for the basic functionality, I do it for root file system access and have many times manipulated OS files. On my ipod touch, I was able to trick iOS into thinking it was an iphone. I don't care if things don't work, thats the point. I prefer to spend time customizing and playing with tweaks than actually using the phone.

Well I did the same thing as the OP. I caved and bought the nexus 6. Just got it this morning, and I went and got the moto 360. Both are awesome, but they trying to get use to android again after using iOS for the last year or so

You're gonna have to tell me about the 360. It looks nice, but I'm not sure about getting one on the basis of ... not really knowing why I'd even want one. I have no clue what the purpose of the smartwatch is.

I have a Pebble that I was using with my iPhone for the last year, and really its just convenience. You can change the song that is playing, see what notification you have, and see the weather. I like seeing what text or emails I have, and see if they are important before I pull my phone out. I will let you know what I thinking after I have used it more. Its charging right now.

I'd buy this phone but problem for me is: this is not a phone but a phablet too big for a pocket.

For you, maybe. I have work pants and it fits rather nicely. Same was true with the 6+ and 1520. Maybe with skinny jeans or women's pants, sure.
