So had my Nexus 6 pending charge drop off my card on Friday and no new one has appeared. Opened a support case with Google yet but still waiting on a reply. This is getting ridiculous.

How so?
the kids in china can only make so many....until they run out.
I really like it coming from the S3. I do like that you can use the edge to have all of your most used apps on the side instead of having to change screens to look for a certain app. i think having a greeting displayed while on the phone is kinda corny. you can see how many steps you have taken, stop watch. access flashlight, keep track of stocks, get news and stop watch all from the edge (not at one time of course). i dunno if i would use my phone as a ruler but its good to know. It is pricey though. Tmobile is selling it for 870.
I do like the Ultra Power saver feature, but its also on the note 4 too.

A side windows taskbar like thing is pretty sweet, not to mention notifications when you are running full screen apps (even if it's sideways).
I wish there was a compromise power saver mode, like just running the phone in black and white mode.

The Edge is a fresh new idea though. Who knows what will catch on? It wasn't many years ago that a 5" screen was considered phablet-sized, and ridiculed by many.
I have the urban armor case for my note 4 and i'm pretty happy with it.

Interesting case. However, it doesn't seem to protect the edge all that much. My concern would be if the phone fell and struck something right on the edge, like a sidewalk curb.

Could come in handy for those penis measuring emergencies.
Problem: I have the Gmail app which I prefer, and now trying the Inbox app... but the problem is, the stupid Samsung default email app is running too, and for the longest time, it never popped up, when I got emails from Gmail, I'd only get notifications FROM the Gmail app, now I'm getting Notifications from ALL three... Is there any way I can make that Samsung email app NOT notify me?
Taking a little time to get used to the size but I love the bigger screen at the same time. I dislike that it doesn't have tap to wake as I loved that on my M8. I don't really have any complaints at this time.
The phone did give me a new contact card and is not picking up my own contact card I have in my contacts like it has on other phones but I am sure I will find a fix for that.
Well I found one major complaint about my N6 on Verizon. I apparently can't use voice and data at the same time. I thought we were beyond this now with LTE service. My last two phones Galaxy S4 and ONE M8 I could do this. I don't do it all the time but I do use it fairly frequently when making plans on phone calls or when talking about something tech related and need to look something up to help answer their questions.
I know Verizon is rolling out VoLTE starting next year but not sure that is a feature I would like to go backwards on. I know this isn't a problem for people on GSM.
Wow that sucks. Really helps when you are dealing with customer service and have to grab info off the net or email.
Agreed. Also when on a call and you are going to meet up with someone and you don't know how to get there you will have to end the call to get gps directions.
Like what crabby said, double tap is disabled on the N6 by Google. There is also a hidden RGB LED light behind the top speaker. Typical GoogleWTF.
BUT you can enable it if you root:
The no voice & data simultaneously is solely a Verizon problem. Sucks.
I need to root anyways at somepoint as I want to be able to use hotspot which doesn't work right now either even with FoxFi.
I had read about the RGB LED this weekend. I really wonder why they wouldn't keep it as that was one of my favorite features on my GN as I had a different color for every type of notification I cared about.
So Simultaneous voice and data works on Sprint then? I know the Droid Turbo it doesn't work either on Verizon which Verizon came out and said the phone needed an update to received Advanced Calling 1.0 for it to work. I wonder if a device like the Nexus 6 would ever even get that feature since right now it isn't even guaranteed that Verizon will carry the phone.
Yeah, it's a Verizon problem. That carrier needs to be blown up.
In related news, T-Mobile now lets you stream all your music from Google Play Music for FREE without eating into your data plan!
The RGB LED is also on both Moto X (2013 and 2014) but just used when there is not enough battery to even power up the screen for the Moto Display style notifications.
