I don't have cable or wifi at home - the cable companies wont run lines down my dirt road #RuralAmericaProblems - but I have unlimited data on my phone, so I find some value in this. (I'm currently using one phone as a mobile hotspot.) Of course, it'll depend on just how well it works. If...

I just got mine from BH Photo for $469.99 https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1218652-REG/huawei_51097233_google_nexus_6p_h1511.html/BI/20079/KBID/13844/SID/UUacUvbUpU5618778

I haven't read anything. And we're still waiting on 5.1 so I wouldn't expect 6.x until probably middle of next year at the earliest*. *would love to be proved wrong, though.

When I first got the phone, one of the first things I did was get Nova Laucher. However, I haven't actually used Nova on the phone since ZenUI is actually not too bad. Come to think of it, I haven't even changed the wallpaper on the phone!

The last Linux distro I used was Sabayon - a rolling-release system. I liked having up-to-date software (without the PPAs), but I found I ended up toying with the system more than actually being productive with it. I've been toying with the idea of going back to Linux, but my Toshiba laptop...

Re: The Successor is here More excited about the rumor of a 5" mini version of this phone! (Though I think it's silly calling a 5" phone 'mini'.) The rumors are on sites that I hadn't read of until I searched for the Zen Phone, so I'm still a little cautious until a trustworthy site reports on...
