- The Moto phones have offered some features in the past that intrigued me, plus the rumored extra large battery and MicroSD card slot further piqued my interest. But, after having watched the launch, a first hands on video, and looking at the spec's, I have actually been pushed farther toward the 6P. I think the T2 will be a fine device and offers some very nice features, but compared with the 6P it just looks ... clunky. Plus, no Marshmallow and just seeing all the bloatware on the screenshots made me cringe. Based on the reviews I've been seeing, I think the 6P is more what I'm looking for ..., plus it's damn sexay.
As soon as it's back in stock, I'm ordering one of these bad boys.
Now I just have to decide which color ..., White ... Aluminum ...?
Anyone else have similar or different reactions?10-27-2015 01:05 PMLike 0 - For me, carrier bloatware, contracts, and no updates is a deal-breaker. Until my N6P arrives, I am rockn' a OnePlus One - best phone I have ever had...10-27-2015 01:12 PMLike 3
- You don't need a Nexus to buy off contract. But the carrier bloatware and slow updates are good points. Not only that, but the Manufacturer bloatware is even worse than the carrier bloatware.10-27-2015 01:16 PMLike 0
- I'm assuming you mean Verizon? I don't know that they've ever actually "lied" to me, personally, but my experience with various of their business practices has definitely left me not feeling terribly positive about them. Unfortunately, for various practical reasons, I'm sort of stuck with them as my primary carrier.
I've wanted a Nexus phone since the Sammy, but the timing (with my damn Verizon contracts) has never worked until now. Another reason to take advantage of the opportunity.10-27-2015 01:42 PMLike 0 -
- I'm intrigued by the specs (I'm on VZW) but the fact that VZW will not be quick to update (and Moto for that) and all that carrier bloat... no thanks. I'll (hopefully) stick with the 6p due to being a stock Android phone with no Moto/VZW muckiness
and here's the size compare...

but VZW is definitely to blame as well. So the combo of Moto and VZW, updates aren't the most promising aspect of this phone.Robisan likes this.10-27-2015 01:59 PMLike 1 - RyModerator CaptainProbably means Motorola, take a read here, especially 2nd paragraph:

I merely posted because any article that has to do with Moto and Updates, people are going crazy over the whole Moto G update "fiasco". Since no other OEM actually has marshmallow on their flagships and HTC only has it on the A9, it doesn't make much sense to freak out... yet...10-27-2015 02:10 PMLike 0

Nowhere on any page does Motorola even mention anything about software updates or Marshmallow, because Motorola probably knows all too well that the Verizon Update Certification Clusterfudge* Machine (VUCCM, for those in the biz) is all but guaranteed to let down the consumers Motorola has already let down some more.10-27-2015 02:16 PMLike 0 - RyModerator CaptainI actually agree with you.

So yea, reasonably upset is warranted.
Also, too: "In Verizon and Moto's presentation, the version of Android the Maxx 2 and Turbo 2 are running was mentioned zero times. Number of times future software updates were mentioned? You guessed it. The word "marshmallow"? CTRL+F "marshmallow": 0 of 0."
So yea, reaming deserved.Premium1 likes this.10-27-2015 03:04 PMLike 1 - RyModerator Captain"...and multiple months since OHA members have had (6.0) development source available to them for updates and new devices."

Based on their silence it's reasonable to assume these new devices will never get 6.0. Moto deserves scorn for their silence and buyers deserve to be warned.Premium1 likes this.10-27-2015 03:40 PMLike 1 - RyModerator CaptainUmm, no. They could do what they did last year with the MX'14 - release it in October and update in December. They could be transparent about it. At a minimum, they could at least address the issue of whether these devices will ever get 6.0.

- RyModerator CaptainSilence = silence. Not listed here. They could've said something, anything. Just silence.
Assume? Not sure you should be making any comments like that on anyone else's assumptions.
Feel free to assume. You know what happens when...10-27-2015 04:11 PMLike 0 -
