[url]http://www.neowin.net/news/googles-nexus-6-now-priced-at-350[/url] [quote=Neowin]Google's 'Nexus 6' was released nearly a year ago and was the first Nexus handset to deviate from the traditional low cost pricing model. It was only a few months ago that the Nexus 6 received a fairly hefty discount, but it now looks like Amazon has slashed prices again by offering the handset for $349.99 USD. Although a new iteration of the 'Nexus' is rumored, it is unknown when it will launch. Those looking for a large bargain flagship might find the Nexus 6 tempting. While pricing on the Nexus is great, some might find it wiser to opt for the newer and similarly priced handsets offered by Motorola and OnePlus.[/quote]
I just got a 64GB Oneplus One and it's amazing considering it was $300. I don't see myself switching to another phone unless this one physically breaks. And if it does break I might contemplate just buying another
Kinda tempting, but I'm gunna wait for the new LG one.
I'd be tempted by the oneplus if it was not invite only and I never got an invite.
I'd be tempted if they didn't think that adding 32 gigs costs an extra 50 bucks. I'd be blaming the cell phone crooks for that, though.

It's a mobile phone not a mixing station, no matter how expensive your phone is it's not going to have the hardware or power capable of pushing out a sound quality difference between a 6mb 320kbps mp3 and a 30mb flac file, you're wasting immense amounts of space. Christ next you'll be telling me you're having trouble fitting your 30gb 4k bluray movie onto the thing.
[QUOTE=garychencool;48618687]This phone doesn't have a microSD card slot sooo[/QUOTE] [I]Sooo[/I] they're taking advantage of the fact that you can't use extendable memory and have no other choice if you want that phone. It's a garbage mentality.

[QUOTE=draugur;48618665]I'd be tempted by the oneplus if it was not invite only and I never got an invite.[/QUOTE] I'm not sure the Two is any better than the One, really, Cyanogen is really nice and people are saying Oxygen isn't worth it yet. And the One is available to anyone who wants one now. The invite system is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life, though
[QUOTE=garychencool;48618687]This phone doesn't have a microSD card slot sooo[/QUOTE] This is the only gripe I have about my LG G2. I love it but I hate having to constantly free up space. Not worth buying a whole new phone for though.

What would you believe me if I said I only used coconut audio products too?
I'd rather get the 16GB Moto X Style for $50 more, you get SD Card slot. [t]http://drop.ndtv.com/TECH/product_database/images/728201585129PM_635_motorola_moto_x_style.jpeg[/t]

Better looks, better performance and better price. I would LOVE to get one especially with the leather back [del]but I'm not a fan of the size. I'm kinda bummed out about it honestly, if there was a 5.5" variant or something the size of a OnePlus One I'd be all over it in a heartbeat.[/del] Edit: Wow lol, out of curiosity I went on PhoneArena and did a size comparison.. It's like the exact size of an OPO and smaller than a Nexus 6. Not sure where I got the idea it was so big! Guess I know what my next phone will be?

I'd get the Play but they aren't selling it in the US unfortunately. Really good price for that kind of device.

In other words, the phone I just talked about and said was the size of the OPO is being sold right now on Motorola's website, and apparently will begin shipping later this month. I'm waiting to see what the Nexus 5 looks like once they officially announce it, because I like the novelty of a fingerprint scanner and if the price is right, I might consider that instead.
I just fucking bought a Nexus 6 from amazon. Edit: In a chat with support about it. Edit: Got the refund difference :D
[QUOTE=draugur;48618665]I'd be tempted by the oneplus if it was not invite only and I never got an invite.[/QUOTE] If you mean the one, they don't require invites anymore. The two however still does.
I'm glad I saw this when I did, I was at the end of the window for the refund difference.
I bought my nexus for $750. I'm pissed. Great phone though.
this is the only price you should buy this phone at [editline]5th September 2015[/editline] otherwise just get an S6.
I have an LG G3 and it's legendary for $200

Apple jacks up the prices for storage by $100 (or more) per storage ring on the iPhone. Sure $25 more would be nice but $50 is more reasonable than what others do.

I'm not going to enforce my standards onto other people, but I really do view this as taking advantage of people. It also seems like they're trying to push people to use more data for cloud storage, and the price for data is ridiculous. [QUOTE=.Lain;48620137]this is the only price you should buy this phone at [editline]5th September 2015[/editline] otherwise just get an S6.[/QUOTE] I'd never buy anything that expensive because prices always drop. [QUOTE=Elfy;48620159]I have an LG G3 and it's legendary for $200[/QUOTE] I have an LG G3 and it's legendary for $0. I didn't have to pay for it nor did it increase the price of my contract. Verizon just gave it to me along with the Note for my father for $20 when my dad renewed our contract.
I'm still using my Galaxy S3.
[QUOTE=draugur;48618693]Why do phone manufacturers keep doing this. Do they not understand that my 64gb microsd is literally full of flac files and about 5gb overflow actually on my phone after that.[/QUOTE] They do it so they can charge extra if you want more space in your phone, a great example is the S6 edge+, where the 64GB version is $90 more than the 32GB version, where if it did have a micro-sd slot, you could buy the 32GB for 90 dollars less and pick up a 32GB micro-sd for like 25 dollars.

If this would have happened like 2 months ago, I would have gotten it (although its massive) with Google-Fi.
