Yeah it's too big. You think your iPhail 5 is old, my galaxy s3 is older. I was looking for a replacement, but I'm not really wanting something that's bigger than this thing.

I'm still waiting for someone to have the balls to release a flip android phone in the US.
I was bummed on the price. BUt I wil be trading my Nexus 5 in for this. I love me some Nexus action. Dev support (Roms)
is just too good and way too hit and miss with any other phones.
I had the note 2. I liked it but swore I would not get another phone with touch wiz. I prefer vanilla android and the aosp Roms always had a bug or two on the Sammy.I was bummed on the price. BUt I wil be trading my Nexus 5 in for this. I love me some Nexus action. Dev support (Roms)

note 4 is pretty solid. i heard.
I've seen two comments now about how the price factor is something inherent to the whole point of the Nexus line.
This isn't true.
The whole point of the Nexus line was to be able to get a handset that ran an unmodified version of Android, with software updates that weren't encumbered by the carriers or manufacturers, that weren't SIM locked to a particular carrier, and that had incredibly easy access to unlocking the bootloader (and thereby giving access to rooting / different ROMs).
I've been using Android phones since the ADP1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Dev_Phone), and have used every Nexus phone ever released, so I kinda have some experience with these.
Low price was never a tenet of the Nexus line, it was just something that came around when the Galaxy Nexus came out (Nexus One and Nexus S were full retail price at release). Also of note - when the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, and Nexus 5 were released initially you could only get the 'subsidised' price for the non-SIM locked handset direct from Google. If you bought the handset "off-contract" from anywhere else, it was full retail price.

Yeah I did think it was odd people commentating on price...

My S3 is also dying and I need a replacement. The rear camera, WiFi and audio jack all no longer work... I was also hoping for the N6 to be my perfect phone.. Maybe the Moto X or OnePlus.

I'm still holding on to my S3 and everything is working fine. I have replaced the back cover as the clips on that started to get lose after a lot of (naked) drops.
I actually am conflicted.
I don't know if I should get the note 4 or the nexus 6.
What are the pros and cons of each phone?
I really hope they release a smaller size of this phone, I've been waiting for the nexus 6. I was really let down to see the huge phone. I think AT&T is going to carry it so if they're your provider and your eligible for an upgrade, it shouldn't be too expensive.

smaller version of this phone is basically the Moto X 2014

But wasn't the biggest problem with that the fact that the camera was ****?
Really don't give a crap about the camera since it's only a phone. I have my DSLR for taking any type of serious shots.

That's fine but do you carry your DLSR with you everywhere you have your phone?
I'm actually pretty disappointed. I was really hoping to get the new Nexus to replace my aging iphone5 but there's not a chance I would get a 6in phone. I was hoping for something closer to like 5.2 or 5.3. Couple that with the fact it now costs almost twice as much as last years phone and I think I'm just going to hold off for something like an M8eye.

I'm with you on this. What made the Nexus so great was the rock-bottom price for decent hardware and good size, all on vanilla Android.
This new recipe seems to deviate pretty far. It's unfortunately off my shopping list now.
If only some of the newer Windows phones make it to Canada some day...

If I know that I'm going to be taking pictures that day then yes. I think 90% of smartphones do a good enough job with everyday shots for Instagram and stuff, it's possible to get good shots out of just about anything. And if you're pixel peeping from a smartphone, then well.. I don't see much point in that as it will always be inferior to a good DSLR. What I'm trying to say is that I don't know why people want to take serious photography from a smartphone.

People don't, but 99% of people can't afford to spend £500-600 on a dedicated camera, I sure can't. So having a decent (better than point and shoot) camera integrated into something you almost require is a huge selling point and benefit.
And a simple point & shoot will produce better picture quality than most smartphone cameras and those are ~$100 or lower.

what are you doing with your pictures? If posting to FB/Imgur and what not, pretty much any smartphone camera now is going to be fine
if you're printing them out, then you shouldn't be using a smartphone camera to take pictures to begin with.

if you're comparing like 5+ yr old P&S to modern phones, maybe
but this $100 dollar P&S does as well if not better than most cameras

I was talkin to Digi about smaller alternative to the nexus 6 for you as he didn't want a 6" phone
I brought up the motox 2014
you were talking about the moto X 2014 camera not being good enough
which i still believe its fine.

i was making general comment
btw im sure you're well aware that Megapixels =/= quality
Can I watch it take the pleasures from the serpent... that once corrupted man?
If not, I'm not interested ...
Got mine in the mail from T-Mobile today. Pretty stoked on it so far.
