Blackberry Priv vs Nexus 6

[Julio Cardozo]

I am thinking of switching phones, and I currently have the Nexus 6. I am thinking of switching and I need help deciding. My Nexus 6 is through AT&T, so I don't have marshmallow yet.

With the Priv, I like the security that BlackBerry entailed, I like the physical keyboard.
With the Nexus 6, I like a lot of things, I just do not like how the back is curved to where I cannot lay it flat on the desk, and how easy it is to to just tamper with it.

Keyboards are great and as many new features as Android has gotten over the years, I always feel like I'm missing something if one isn't on my phone. I don't think either phone could be a disappointment but I can definitely recommend the Priv. Of course if you're looking for that extra security, then Priv is a no brainer if you got the loot to drop. Maybe you could keep both so you can still have rooting fun if you do that

I don't really like to root, and its not like I will be missing anything because my Nexus still hasn't gotten marshmallow since its on AT&T.

I have both, I was on googleFi with the nexus 6 and switch back to TMO for priv.
Marshmallow makes the nexus 6 a different device, but if you haven't used it yet then it wouldn't make a difference.
Main differences are physical. The screen size, qwerty keyboard, speakers, edge screen (useless until it can do something other than so charging stats).

yes - a quandary

I have both and have to advise that they're both great. Used the nexus6p first; then the Priv... both miles better than anything else. Before these two: blackberry passport.

What's my daily driver now? Priv

My husband has the Nexus 6p, and I have the Priv. His screen is slightly nicer, his phone is slightly bigger, they feel very different in-hand. He gets Google Fi, the Priv has a keyboard and a slot for an sd card and do wireless charging. Otherwise they are pretty similar.
