  1. Toshiba Chromebook 2 is a pretty thing. Lovely screen and a much better keyboard than that of the Acer. Also better speakers. A worthy upgrade and about as good as it gets apart from the Pixel.

  3. Nexus 6P finally dispatched. Should be here tomorrow / Thursday.
  4. Tell me how it is! I love Androids, hope it was worth it!
  5. How much is it? Considering jacking in this iPhone experiment.
  6. $499, £449, €649

    Yeah, my iPhone experiment with the 6 Plus lasted about a month. Drove me up the wall.
  7. I like the 6 plus. Just do not like some aspects of iOS. I'm thinking a Nexus 6P or a Oneplus 2. I prefer the forward facing fingerprint scanner on the Oneplus 2.

    Yes, the hardware is nice, but iOS feels like prison, and I couldn't adapt to its idiosyncrasies. I had an iPhone 4 and 5 for a total of two years, but going back was not fun.

    Remember the OPT has no NFC if that matters to you.

    I had myself well prepared for iOS and its idiosyncrasies. I had already did the whole custom ROM thing with android and customized it to high heaven but fancied a move away form it.

    It's notifications that I can't stand. Those fucking badge icons which never clear! And apps aren't much better than what I use on Android. Sure there are some exclusive games but a month with an iPhone and I haven't installed a single killer game and only have 2 screens of regular apps.

    So I got it today, and while your mileage may vary, I've found the rear placement of the fingerprint reader to be much nicer in use than front-mounted ones. I used both the iPhone 6 Plus and Galaxy S6 Edge+ and this feels much more natural. My index finger rests on the reader with a normal grip and the phone unlocks without pressing a single button.

    Oh and the phone's lovely in pretty much every other way as well.

    Ahh but what about when the phone is on your desk? I like just placing a finger on the finger print scanner and not having to lift the phone.

    Still weighing up my options between the 6P and Oneplus 2. The OnePlus is significantly cheaper and in stock. It could be a month before I could get a 6P.

    That is the one drawback of the rear placement, but honestly, I've already adapted. The in-hand experience of using the fingerprint reader is nice enough for me to not really care about picking the phone up off the desk.

    I'm obviously bias since I was faced with the same dilemma, and went with the 6P, so take my opinion as you will. I'd say the screen and the software are the two things that set the 6P apart from the OPT for me. Samsung AMOLED and pure Android beat LCD and OnePlus's history of slow, buggy updates for me. That, and OnePlus just really hacked me off with that invite system. I know it's not an issue anymore, but fuuuck that invite system. I was really interested in the OnePlus Two... In August, and likely would have bought one if it was actually available.
