Yes mine too. I will move from the "little monster" N4 to the Godzilla N6 once is available in my country. A 5.9 inch phone will cover my needs for Tablet and Phone at the same time without buying 2 separate devices.

ah only at $649 :P

everybody's complaining about the price and i understand that. considering i was going to upgrade both my 5 and 7, it all rounds out in my situation. im just going to close my eyes and shut off my opinion and get the 6. 😏not happy about the lack of sd though.

Waayyy too expensive for a barebones phone without the aftermarket goodies the other manufacturers add. The only reason the Nexus series were attractive vs. their competition were the price points, the hardware always just barely matched the high end phones around release. Take away the price point, and there is little reason to recommend this over a good LG or Samsung.
BLEH!
6 may well be my next phone... :P

I always liked the nexus devices but I don't like Nexus 6 and 9
Nexus 6 is way too big and the 9 is a no go with its 4:3 display for me.

Heh, I always considered the 'lack of aftermarket goodies' a selling point for the nexus line.
I like having a barebones 'clean' phone OS.
Price wise, yeah... I was waiting for this one to get a discounted 1440p phone.
Now that it's the same price as the LG G3, I'm thinking that I should have grabbed a G3 earlier and already had one for a while.

That killed it for me.

Really overrated.
I had the N4 till it blew up. The phone was stupidly barebones until I threw a custom ROM on it. Even then, a lot of the features only half worked.
Now I have an LG G2, and I think the custom applications and ROM from LG is great on its own. Best part, everything just works and under warranty no less.

Idk from the way I look at it Google is giving me $150 to not use Touchwiz on the Note 4. I consider that a big plus.

Google dropped the ball with this release! It's huge, expensive, and lacking features. "SD" A 4:3 Screen is not going to cut it these days! Can't believe I'm going to say this, but Samsung offers a much better Tablet with their S series and it's loaded with everything for a reasonable price. "currently $380 on sale"
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro is even better deal at $270, so since Nexus is out of the cheapo but high-end specs game, that leaves only Samsung?

Agreed, for me part of the reason for buying Nexus was the lack of all The crap out that came with other devices lol
Anyway, been waiting ages for the N9 so buying that and giving the N7 2012 to the gf. Going to keep my N5 as quite happy with it, and to be honest can't afford to buy both otherwise I probably would lol

Quite happy with my Nexus 5 still. With Lollipop 5.0 just a couple of days away, happy days.

the 6 is way too big for my liking, but it does look like a great phone.
I think i will get the Nexus 9, Though i wonder if it streams pc games like the nvidia shield considering it has the updated CPU/GPU. That would be the icing on the cake for me.

I bought my N4 and N5 strictly because they lacked all the manufacturer and carrier installed bloatware. Prices for the phones were never a real concern, but were a bonus. If there won't be a Nexus phone with a reasonable screen size (4.5-5.0"), then I've no reason to buy one. For me, 5.9" is just too large for a phone and too small for a tablet.

Wow... I was anticipating the Nexus 6 as my new smartphone, still running around with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro... but well, too expensive, useless resolution (which always sips away battery power), and a insane price of 650$... sorry, they totally lost it imo. Gonna go and see for a Samsung then... I was so looking forward to not have to deal with those stupid aftermarket 3rd party layouts and preinstalled apps I don't need, but I'm not going to pay hundreds of quid just for that. For me and my personal situation, I feel they failed.

I have to say you're probably the ONLY person i've ever seen who actually seems to LIKE paying more for OEM fluff.
As for everything else... well... look at it this way. In the case of the Nexus 5, you basically got a LG G2 with a lower MP camera (both front and rear), smaller battery, among some other things, for a fair bit less than the cost of a G2 off-contract.
Now we have the Nexus 6. People seem to be comparing it to the Moto X all over the place (since it's the same manufacturer), but in actuality, the Nexus 6 is more similar in specs to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 than it is to the Moto X.... the only differences being the Nexus 6 has a slightly larger screen (same resolution), while the Note 4 has a bit higher MP count on both the front and rear facing cameras, as well as Micro-SD support.
So yea.... if you're looking at it from the standpoint that you're getting a bit of an upgrade on the Moto X (2014) for $150 more, then yea, it seems a little absurd. But considering you're essentially getting something that's damn-near identical to the Galaxy Note 4 in terms of specifications, for about $175 less than the Note 4's off-contract price, it actually seems like it's still quite a nicely priced phone/"phablet" based on the specs.

The difference in price by me between the G2 and the N5 was around $60 USD, which made the G2 a no-brainer.
The difference between the N6 and Note 4 is around $150. But for that money, you actually get a usable phablet in the Note 4; with multi-screen software, a stylus, an SD slot, a better camera (and camera software), etc.

If you don't need the latest Nexus goodies in terms of software, Note 4 has pretty much similar specs.
Over here, Note prices used to plummet soon after release. On the release date, Note 3 was around $930 in Poland (converted to USD at that day's exchange rate), and I got mine for around $570 in December, which was pretty soon after the release (brand new, unpacked, invoice etc). It may be similar case with Note 4. I'm not going to replace 3 for 4, as it's just too good, but if one's looking for a good big phone, Note 4 is definitely one of the best options if you don't need Nexus branding. Also, LG G3 may be an interesting "budget" alternative.

Nexus since the beginning for me. Even still have my G1. Looks like my N4 and N7 will be the last of it 🙁 Both devices are too large and too expensive for me. Guess the "too good to be true" days are over.
Nvidia Shield will be next for me it looks like. Phone? I'll just run this N4 into the ground.
