Any Nexus 6 Users Getting Note 5 Itch?

The Note 5 looks like some great hardware, but the stock OS experience is more important to me (it's probably my own bias, but every review I see reads to me as "the new Touchwiz sucks less", which isn't exactly inspiring).
 
My brother hated Samsung. He really wanted to have spen functionality though. Gave the note 5 a try and he now loves it. His nexus 6 is posted on ebay now.
 
Absolutely not. I had a Note 4 for 6 months and the longer I had if the slower it got. I was also one of the unlucky ones with a camera that only focused when it was in the mood. I picked up the N6 from Amazon for $350 two weeks ago and I am just giddy over the speed and smoothness of it. The screen is beautiful and there is nothing like having TWO front facing speakers. Its a first for me and I really don't think I will buy anymore phones with a back or bottom mount speaker(s). Build quality is excellent and it's antennas /radio/signal strength is as good as any phone I have ever had. I also have a G4 so I appreciate a good camera and that's one thing I was concerned about with the N6, but I have zero complaints about it so far. Sorry for rambling, but that's my way of saying that I have no interest in the Note 5 and I'll be even happier when I get Marshmallow months ahead it and I can only imagine how long it will take Samsung to get the bugs out after they release it. Pure Google is Pure Goodness!

I had the Note 2 3 & 4, Note 5 will be the first one I skip. All have started out awesome, then slowly deteriorated to a laggy battery killer.

Nexus 6 has only been mine for slightly over 24 hours, but I love it.

I have to admit that I'm hearing no Note 5 lag stories yet. But at the same time, I know that nexus 6 is my 1st phone to stay 100% lag free months after using it. Just Awesome.
 
I know that I said a month ago that I was keeping my Nexus 6 but there's been a change in plans lol! I haven't had a Note since the Note 2! I'm really liking this phone. I'm even using the S-Pen lol! I never used the pen when I had the Note 2!

only time I ever used the S-Pen for was to draw on pictures when sending them to friends, that was pretty fun. Samsung does have a better way of sending screenshots than default Android

Yea that's what I'm using it for now and yes it is fun! I'm technically still in my 14 day window but I think that I will be keeping it.

I pre-ordered nexus 6P. Note 5 was a tough competitor. Brother has note 5 and he loves it. I had Note 4 before switching to Nexus 6.
