    Will anyone dare use the 6P without a case?

    @Almeuit: It pops out really easily if I hold the top corners of the case and push from under it. Much easier than many other cases I have tried. @GreatCanadian: It grips well enough for me, but a softer plastic would grip better. Definitely a good improvement on case-less grip, but there are...

    Will anyone dare use the 6P without a case?

    I never use cases and have been lucky in not dinging or cracking any phones (except when I dropped a 50 pound weight on a G3 at the gym, but no case or screen protector would have saved it). This phone, however, is slippery enough to warrant a case. I got the Poetic Affinity series and love the...

    What have you done to make the 6p easier to hold?

    I usually leave my phones naked, but I also had problems with grip on the 6P. I got the slimmest case I could find that looks and feels great IMO. I've tried a couple of different cases with this phone and I have had some in the past on others, but this is the best case I've ever used. It gives...

    Should I take NEXUS 5 or G2 or Z1?

    I've had a Nexus 4 for a year now and I ordered the Nexus 5, but after reading that the battery life is still about the same, I cancelled that order and I bought a new unlocked G2 for $70 more. I REALLY wanted kitkat and I loved all the updates and the lack of bloatware on the N4, but for my...

    Switching from Verizon to what carrier?

    It depends on what city you live in. In Miami, Fl, Sprint is horrible and Verizon's not that much better (at least in downtown/brickell and a lot of buildings elsewhere). T-mobile is so so, but AT&T is great. I hate AT&T as a company, but I ended up on their AIO prepaid thing because I just need...

    Tmobile MMS not working

    Tried all these recommendations but still no go in Miami, FL. Went to local store and they said it won't work here until March due to some network infrastructure they are still setting up here. Doesn't make sense to me, but looks like I need to go to straight talk ATT next month instead. EDIT...

    Well I'm unlucky....lost in transit

    I got mine yesterday...they shipped me another one two days after UPS set the status of the first one to lost in transit. Don't bother emailing google. They will just tell you it's out for delivery. Either call them or call UPS. It's probably best to call UPS first to get the status switched.

    Full body protectors.

    I haven't gotten a protector in, while... Had my rezound completely naked for a year with no scratch. But the back of the nexus has me worried... I was wondering if they made those firmer clear plastic protectors instead of the slightly matte softer protectors. I've had both before and much...

    Has anyone removed the back glass yet?

    I'm guessing if the glass doesn't come off, they will sell the entire back? I wonder how much that will cost...looks like it's really expensive (although cheaper than a whole phone ;) ):

    Two weeks later - $400 spent, hours of frustration and NO PHONE

    I'm in the same boat....called Google today after UPS finally changed my "out for delivery" to "exception" with a tracer service requested. Google told me they would deactivate the lost device (and issue a refund) and I would have to re-order another one and wait the 6-7 weeks (now having to...

    Well I'm unlucky....lost in transit

    I had to call UPS again and when I explained Google's response so far, they volunteered to call them while I was on hold and finally put an end to this "out for delivery" status. UPS said 8 business days to investigate before issuing the claim to Google. Now I wonder if Google will send me a...

    Well I'm unlucky....lost in transit

    I'm in a building with 24 hour receiving...it definitely wasn't left with a neighbor. I already contacted UPS and they told me it was "lost in transit" and they needed the shipper, google, to ask for a formal investigation before they are liable. And this latest email has me wondering what to...

    Well I'm unlucky....lost in transit

    And after two more emails google hasn't responded all day. Maybe their "shipping specialist" is still seeing out for delivery today and hasn't noticed the pattern.

    Well I'm unlucky....lost in transit

    Note the initial "out for delivery" date Google has been relatively quick to respond and nice so far, but I'm trying to get them to act a bit quicker

    T-Mobile $30 4G plan

    There used to be a lot of issues when trying to port a number OUT of google voice after porting it in from a carrier. Not sure how that situation is now, but I'd look into it in case you ever want to leave.
