There is zero chance of me waiting for the Nexus 6. 1) Because I would have to wait for the Nexus 6 and 2) It's going to be huge. If I get another big phone, I'll stick with the Note.

**Headache in a Suitcase** · 10-06-2014, 03:21 PM

I'll only buy a Nexus, moto X or a google play edition phone... in that order.

The Moto X is as close to a Nexus as you can get without having a Nexus... so yea, I'd go with that one and not look back.

bono_212 · 10-06-2014, 03:22 PM

The biggest problem with getting the X, only thing stopping me, is I have to buy it outright. It's not available through T-Mobile.

mikal · 10-06-2014, 03:54 PM

What phone do you have now again? You should be able to sell it on Swappa if you get a Moto X or a Nexus (though I highly recommend a Nexus).

bono_212 · 10-06-2014, 04:03 PM

I have the Note II. It goes for about $250 on eBay, which is fine, but it means I'll have to have things timed perfectly, in order to not be without a phone. It also means I'll lose out on my warranty with T-Mobile, as well as any other upgrade "bonus" of being able to swap phones in a year, like I plan to. Not that that would really matter if I own the phone outright, of course.

mikal · 10-06-2014, 04:13 PM

That makes sense. I used to put my phone on Swappa (I prefer this method because you only get charged a $10 fee compared to 10% on eBay) about 3-4 days before buying the phone outright. That way I only had to stomach paying for the phone outright for about a week or two tops.

bono_212 · 10-07-2014, 05:39 PM

Whelp, due to circumstances, Travis and I have agreed to swap phones, and he's using my upgrade to get the M8, so you're now looking at a GS5 owner.

I'm going to give Swappa a try and then I'll use that money to get myself a watch, I think.

LemonMelon · 10-10-2014, 08:21 PM

The M8 is so great.

It was one of the more enjoyable Android phones I owned.

Lollipop

Do any of you use an android tablet for power point presentations?

I need a new laptop, and I'd really love to be able to just go with the new Nexus 9 and call it a day, but I absolutely need to be able to run full PowerPoint presentations on it, animations and all, and don't know if it's a viable option yet.

I may just end up going with a Surface.

Headache. You picking up the Nexus 6?

Nah. Haven't even had the 5 for a full year yet, and it works just fine and dandy, especially now with Lollipop on board.

bono_212 · 03-01-2015, 08:25 PM

So the Galaxy S6 is basically an iPhone then...I'll wait till November. Maybe the Note 5 will be more to my liking. Or maybe it's finally time to go with a new brand. I've been with Samsung longer than anyone else at this point. I usually test the waters more than this.

I never understood why so many people complained about the "cheap" cases in the first place. If the case gave me a waterproof phone with expandable memory and a replaceable battery, I'll take the phone that has grip on it, thanks.

LemonMelon · 03-01-2015, 08:45 PM

Gonna roll with my One M8 until November at least. Amazing phone.

Seems like the reviews for the M9 are only giving it slight improvements over the M8 too. Granted, a 20-megapixel camera would be nice and there wasn't much to 'improve' on in the first place. But I'm probably not going to be in a rush myself if that's the result.

Me too, unless I am given the M9 or the final software makes the camera fantastic, my M8 still works beautifully and gets the updates.

**Headache in a Suitcase** · 04-08-2015, 08:56 AM

So who wants to pay (at least) twice as much money for an Apple Watch that doesn't so anything that an Android Wear watch doesn't do, with a cheaper band to boot!?

bono_212 · 04-08-2015, 09:01 AM

But it has the dial!
