I'm not giving up my N6 for the Note either .

I'll be sticking with my N6 for a long time.

Feel like the Moto X Pure will be more likely to sway N6 users than the Note 5. No interest swapping over here. It's nice that it's hard to go wrong with almost any phone right now, though!

No!!!!! Nexus 2015 though

It really is hard to go wrong and the desire to constantly update, for me at least, isn't really there anymore.

My S6 Edge + is being shipped. Still going to hold on to my Nexus. Might sell my M9 and G4 though (I have problems lol)...

I dont like that they took away the expandable memory. 64gb isnt enough nowadays for what I need. Then they not making a 128gb version. That killed my interest all together to even consider a Note 5.

Yeah.... that's probably right on the money. One thing that keeps me on Nexus is the software experience. I just prefer the look and feel of Android without all the heavy OEM crap slathered on top. Motorola does it proper and adds to Android, rather than replacing anything that was already there, so the expirience on the Moto line is as close as you'll find to Nexus.

Sure, the Note 5 is a nice phone all, but I don't like Touchwiz. Yes, I know that Samsung 'improved' Touchwiz and all... I've played around with an S6. It is better than the abomination that Touchwiz was back in the ICS and JB days, but it is still unmistakenly Touchwiz. I'm all set with that.

So this fall the two phones that might get my attention a bit are the Pure Edition and the Huawei Nexus... I am not going to go any smaller than 5.7", and I am not going to want to have to deal with Note 5 baggage.

If Samsung put front-facing stereo speakers on their flagships, I might be tempted to give TouchWiz & the S-Pen a try.

Battery life reports on the AC Note 5 forum so far are overwhelmingly positive, with at least one person reporting 7 hours screen-on time (with screen captures to back it up). Even if he was just sitting in a corner drooling over pretty pictures, that's not bad considering the size of that QHD screen.

My brother got his today. He switched from Nexus 6. Very premium feel to it and I agree. He is loving the enhanced spen and blown away by the screen quality and how small the phone feels. I would get one if I had the extra money. Too expensive.

I'm like Francisco Franco. Nexus all the way!!! Why? Development that's why. All these other phones are a gimmick to me until they are on the same update path as the Nexus and feature fully unlocked capabilities with no stupid backdoor method.

I had the note 4 and loved it but couldn't root the thing so i switched to a nexus 6 (first Nexus ever) and love it, the Note 5 looks nice but I'll be frustrated as I was with my vzw note 4 that couldn't root. Which still doesn't have a full root method besides the kingroot that uploads your data out to Chinese servers . so no thanks, I'll wait for the Hu nexus 6 (2015) somewhat nervous how thats going to come out

I'm leaning more towards the motox. The n6's size is wearing on me and would like to go a little smaller. 400 bucks is way easier to swallow than 700.

Like others have mentioned the software experience is what dictates my decisions for change and while the camera and hardware on Samsung devices always tempt me, I always think back to what I consider a terrible and bloated software experience with redundant apps.

This , Note 5 looks great and there is temptation but then I think about previous Samsung phones and how I really disliked TouchWiz and waiting for software updates .....sticking with the Nexus 6, still love it nearly nine months in.

I'll just be patient enough and wait for the next Nexus.

I think the Note 5 is a beautiful phone. However, I just recently switched to the N6 from a Note 2. I am still really enjoying stock so I am staying put for the foreseeable future.

Sold my N6 last week and bought a Note 5 on Verizon. Aside from the camera, I am not wowed like I thought I would be. The build quality is tops but I've never been an S-Pen guy despite owning an Note 2 & 3 on Verizon and 4 on T-Mobile briefly. Battery life has been okay but nothing I couldn't get out of my N6, G2, or G3. Needless to say, this was a total impulse buy that will likely be returned at the end of the week. The Note 5 is a great phone but $200-300 better than the N6, not imo.

My husband just got the Note 5. Nice phone, but I still hate all the bloat and most of all, Touchwiz! I don't think I'd ever use the pen.
