Finally dumped the iPhone 4.

Loving this Nexus 5, it's better in every single way. I don't foresee I'll be switching too soon. T Mobile isn't as bad as I've heard as well, and I'm coming from Verizon.

Games I've got on it are just Sonic Dash, GTA Vice City and Heroes of Order & Chaos.

Hahaha. That's great.

How do you like the phone so far?

Z3 Compact, very good smartphone, waterproof, huge battery life due to its high battery capacity, beautiful design, 4'6 (perfect size imo)

Why did it take you so long to get a new smart phone? Just never felt the need?

The phone is very good hardware wise. And the sandstone case is an interesting touch. I also like the way the screen "floats" in the frame.
There is only one downside for me, and it's quite annoying at times; The Oneplus One is a little too tall for me.

lol, between the sidekick and Note3 I went back to my trusty old nokia brick... I never used my phone anyway and I got sick of carrying the sidekick. Plus I used to skateboard A LOT, so I was always worried about breaking it or I would forget it at the park. Friends always coming by the house to bring me my sidekick... I never had to worry about the nokia, so I carried that for about nine years.... something like that.

You should have seen the guys face when he asked "so what phone do you have now... looking to upgrade?"

Is the 6+ something that fits in a pocket? Or a one handed item? I want to preorder on the 12th but would like to see the 2 phones side-by-side first.

Is there a phone that's the same size as iPhone 6+ to go see size-wise?

Glissant · « **Reply #924 on:** Wed, 10 September 2014, 09:04:54 »

I don't have any images to compare the size for you Input Nirvana, but looking at the videos and then looking up some specs it looks like the 6+ is slightly taller and slightly thinner than the note 4. Not sure if that tells you anything, but that's the best comparison in size I could think of.

And when it comes to your first questions; that all depends on the size of the person

.

Edit: Looking at the specs again and comparing them to my Oneplus, I would say that the iPhone 6+ might be hard to use one handed and will most likely stick up slightly from front pockets on most jeans that I would wear (talking as a 6'1" 250lbs dude).

The Note easily fits in my pockets, I see no issue arriving unless you wear hipster skinny jeans

Heeeyyy-y-y....

I consider phones a personal item, always have mine and don't use other peoples phones. Plus, in the SF Bay Area, iPhones are very dominant. I live a couple miles down the street from Apple

Thanks for the info, I'll compare asap! I'm pretty sure 6+ is too big for my lifesyle.

I was almost going to buy the z1 compact, but when I saw this I said to myself, "I HAVE to get this !"
Now I just need the money...or patience for the price to go down.

Moto G first gen. Best smartphone under 200$ in my opinion. I have rooted it as well just for the fun of it, although I have to admit that Greenify (some functions require root) saves me a lot of battery.

Guys, I think you should check out this new thing on Kickstarter
It is perhaps the biggest leap in the mobile world, if not the entire world in technology

This thing doesn't require any charging, it's almost entirely shatter resistant, and it runs you almost nothing
No details have been released about the OS it is running, but I don't think it's even going to run Droid

No removable battery, no deal. And they should pick Android. Open always wins.

i only have the iPhone 4s, i don't understand the trend towards bigger phones that barey fit in your pocket. it's worrying.

YES. though, I think the 5 is the perfect size. 4 is a tad too small.
But everyone always says for the 5, why is apple so small when android and windows are way bigger already. Maybe because phones shouldn't get BIGGER. Now the damn 6 is bigger, 6+ is stupid-big. I will eventually need the 5 size but with new specs. I hope they make a 7 mini otherwise ill have to go android...

I miss my Nokia w snake...

Left to right: iPhone 5, Nexus 5, Lumia 1520

You want to know why I got that phone?

Aside from running Windows Phone OS, with this phone, I don't feel like I'm holding a dainty little toy in my hands, something that is very important when one has what have been affectionately referred to as "gorilla paws" for hands. It fits in my hand just perfectly. The ability to put it in my pocket is a non-issue, as I NEVER put phones in my pockets. Given my 6' tall body coming in at nearly 300 pounds, even a Nokia phone would be at risk of breakage if put into my pocket.

Personally I'm not a fan of WP but I am really glad that phones with large screens is a trend. I to have very big hands and I can not stand using an screen smaller than " 5".

Z3 Compact under 400 eur from Amazon.it
twice cheaper than iPhone 6
an heavy and huge battery life

You might get even more with one of those Stamina modes (standard or Ultra), Sony claim you could even use for 4/5 days easily without charging it if you use the hardest stamina mode (Ultra)

Best phone ever
