tybo31316 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I'm pretty sure I want the 64 GB version. I'm glad to hear your impressions of the 2014 Moto X were so favorable. I'm just a little hesitant to order on the 29th as I would like to see how it goes for the early adopters. Is anyone going to place their order on the 29th? I think I'm going to wait about two weeks until users here and on YouTube give their thoughts on battery life and reception Sent from my Nexus 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wait, you may get stuck weeks behind the backlog of initial orders. So, some of us will probably place our orders immediately upon opening this week. And as a safety net, Google Play has a return policy. AJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MkVsTheWorld Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I don't think I've ever seen a device with bad numbers be a good performer. But I've seen midrange EIRP numbers be good performers. Like the Sprint Note 2. And I've seen good numbers be bad or just fair performers. But anything with sub 16 EIRP numbers, in my experience, has been bad. Like the Verizon Note 3. It's LTE RF performance was awful. Probably the worst Verizon LTE device ever. My boss threw his across the room and destroyed it because he got so frustrated with it. Using Sharp AQUOS Crystal on Tapatalk That's frightening. I hope it wasn't in your direction lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxsilver Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Sprint. Band 4 lte in 2nd place. Looks more like T-Mobile or Verizon, with Band 4 (AWS) and Band 12 / Band 13 (700ac) looking "excellent" while most of the others are all "good" (I don't think the bands are ranked "in place" -- I think they're just sorted numerically) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordanlong20 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 sorry (haven't read the last 20 pages) but what have yall been guessing as the Sprint on contract price? $200? $250? Last time i got my N5 for -$5, so I'm trying to ballpark how much the N6 might cost if i buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uecker87 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 So I just read that the N6 has the double tap to wake feature that I absolutely loved from my old G2. Edit: Yeah, I know you can get it on the N5 with custom ROMs etc, but it never worked as fluidly as the G2. Native support for it on a Nexus sounds great. Man... All this device has to offer, CCA capable, and stock Android. And the great new features for SignalCheck Pro... Going to be hard to not pick this device up and ditch my iPhone 6. Just that screen size... I am going to have to wait and hold one at a store before pulling the trigger. If I end up deciding to get one, maybe I'll have it around Christmas ha.

Your iPhone 6 should come close to covering the cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
