I have my phone being delivered today but I am going to return it after seeing a bend test. I know people think they are stupid but it was the worst ive ever seen.

Please return it so those that are in line can receive their faster. KKThanks!

MRU, what are your thoughts on the Note 5 compared to the 6P? Which would you prefer?

Wondering the same. Love the form factor of the Note 5 and some of the features (multi-window and one-handed use options). But like the idea of stock Android is well. Which one do you like better and why?

Thanks! Bonus points!! Wow, the 6p is stunning, even next to the iPhone which is stunning itself. I'm a bit bummed how tall the 6p is and am amazed the bezels are even larger than the ginormous bezels on the iPhone.

How are the speakers? I'm psyched about the front facing speakers and finally having a phone which can play music decently.

Speakers are very good generally. I do think the Moto X style has better sound overall but it still is way better than most other flagships without front facing speakers

My iPad 3's battery is dying and I've thought about giving a phablet a go (currently using an iPhone 6 and a Nexus 5). The 6s+ with decent storage costs an arm and a leg here, so maybe I should order myself a nice 64GB 6P? Of course availability over here starts from November 23, so I still have some time to consider.

I know what you mean about iPhone prices.
Here in Canada a 128 gb Nexus 6P costs less than a 16 gb iPhone 6S (NOT Plus).
Nexus 6P 128 gb is C$849 versus iPhone 6S 16 gb at C$899.
Crazy.

Google has a decent return policy here in the states. Maybe there too? Worth a try. The 6p is getting glowing reviews.

Same here, iPhone 6s (NOT plus) 16GB 759€, Nexus 6P 64GB 699€. Plus models start from 869€ for the useless model and 979€ for the 64GB model. And I was really on the fence already when I paid 789€ for my 64GB iPhone 6. The 6s would be 80€ more for something that's already quite expensive.

EDIT: Oh, you were talking about the 128GB model. I can't see the exact prices of that model yet, but the difference between 32GB and 64GB is around 50e, so a 128GB one would also be less than the 6s 16GB if the pricing doesn't change when going from 64GB to 128GB.

Haven't tried what their return policy regarding devices itself is, but when I called them about a discoloration issue with a case I ordered together with my Nexus 5, the service was top notch. As soon as the rep heard what had happened, she immediately offered a refund for the case and I didn't even have to send the defective one back. I think I'll place an order in the near future :)

Gotta love YouTube's reaction to this video.

When the iPhone 6 Plus bendgate video came out, nobody complained that much with "this video is fake", it was accepted, even tough exaggerations were common like "iPhone 6 Plus bends in pockets".

With this video, there are already a hundred of professional Android fanboys... sorry, Android YouTubers making videos trying to show that the phone does not bend... where they make faces, noises, twist their arms, you name it, to show how much they were trying to bend their $700 phone... or not...

There's even that "professional", the most voted comment, saying that the phone is an engineering sample, and that the phone is faked. Yeah, every single video he makes is either dissing Apple, or praising Android or their Google overlords.

Quite ridiculous! Even The Verge, is damage controlling the video, saying it's fake... what's fake? It's made in CGI? Are they making fake Nexus 6P's? Completely ridiculous.

Just accept that it's big, and it's made of aluminium, it is what it is.

The verge is just trying to stem back some of the disgust people have with their open bias by hoping on the bandwagon

It's great and easier to search for photos.

You don't need the latest system update to enjoy the latest versions on GAPPs.
