Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware The point is, everyone is using Google-developed android OS (Kitkat/Lollipop/etc). In this sense, this is the pure standard. Getting your OS updates straight from the source of the OS (Google) is the purest version. If a carrier...

Re: On-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware? I could see this being the case. If the OS updates came directly from Google, I would still buy the phone on contract from AT&T.

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware Who is this "President Clinton" you are referring to? ;)

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware It's ok, I won't get mad at you. I'll just assume you didn't have your reading glasses on. :cool: Here's what I posted earlier: In legal-ese there's a HUGE difference between "Pure Android Experience" (AT&T) and "MORE Pure...

Re: On-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware? No... Unless they made some sort of deal... which I don't know what that would even look like. (Possibly something like how Apple has it set up with carriers?) The fault is not with Google, but with AT&T claiming that their...

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware If it's Moto's marketing term, then why didn't Verizon roll with it?

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware Yep... even so much that it would completely screw the phone up if OTA updates came directly from Google. Which is why they have to go through the sausage making process of the carriers before it can get to your phone. If the...

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware Anyone who feels they got misled into buying (and entering into a 2yr contract) what they thought was an equivalent to a "Pure Edition" (Yes, this is the actual name of the phone) handset. Why else would Verizon word it this...

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware I dunno... take a look at Verizon's Moto X page. You'll see that they at least didn't want to get sued. The wording they are using is premeditated: "Use intuitively with a more pure Android experience" [emphasis added]. ;) Did...

What is "Pure Android"?? I've never seen that besides a Google Play Edition or Nexus phone. Last I checked, it was Google who produced Kitkat, Lollipop, and a whole bunch before. What gives carriers the right to stuff their crap on top of what Google produced and get away with announcing "Pure...

I'm a Nexus owner. I have a Nexus 5 and love it. I would be sorely disappointed if Google does to the Nexus 6 what they did to the Moto X2.

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware I guess what I was trying to say, was that Google owns the brand or flavor of Android that everyone else uses (Kitkat/Lollipop/etc). So my real point here is that how can carriers get away with claiming that slapping their...

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware Indeed :p In fact, Google acquired Android Inc. on August 17, 2005 Google will be be the lead in all the latest releases (KitKat, Lollipop, etc). Everyone else is just trying to keep up. It's "open source" only as far as they...

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware It may very well be that way, but AT&T is not blameless. They certainly are laughing all the way to the bank. You and I both know there is nothing "pure" about the AT&T subsidized Moto X2.

Re: The on-contract AT&T/Verizon Nexus 6 will come with bloatware Android is advertised as "Open Source" and companies are free to develop their own flavor of android but technically Google acquired Android Inc. on August 17, 2005. But, getting back to the point... being that AT&T is...
