The note 4 has received heaps of praise from gsmarena. To be honest, it looks bloody good and I'm not really a Samsung fan.
Yeah it looks awesome, but I really do fancy a change from the Note. Up until now, there's been nothing anywhere near it. This is finally another option.

Might hate it and be dying to go back!

I've been wanting to go down the phablet route for some time now but have never really felt the need to as I've had tablets as well as phones up until now. I can, however, see that the appeal would be there for some who want both but can't justify spending on two separate devices.

As a nexus with vanilla android, it has huge appeal to me, but not enough to make me get rid of my 5 as it still has a whole load of life left in it.

Maybe next year.

Exactly that. Very disappointing. Get a Oneplus One. If you can.

Was debating about he 6 and Note 4 and now someone has just said 'Have you seen the Galaxy Edge'?

Xperia Z Ultra is now just £209.

Got mine last week. Lovely, lovely bit of kit.

The camera was slated though. Have any updates made it better? The Nexus camera is supposed to be very good, better than the 5 which was OK were it not for the focus issues.

Haven't really used the camera much to be honest. Sony have been good with the updates in general though. I'm on 4.4.4, which more than I can say for my Galaxy S4.

Decisions, decisions.. the Oneplus has no 4G for Vodafone and the forums seem to full of complaints and practically zero customer service.

But the 6 may just be too big and I imagine will come in around £450.

Taken a few photos now, and the camera is absolutely shocking. Actually didn't realise you could buy a phone that takes such bad photos in this day and age. Not a deal breaker for me though, as knew what I was buying into. And if it had decent camera I'm sure it wouldn't be going for as little as £209. Still a very happy customer.

It's the same unit as in the Z. So by that, I reckon there must be a way of rooting it and patching it with the Zs software. Maybe I'm being a bit adventurous in thinking that.

I'm not sure it is the same unit. It's only 8MP.

Was up for upgrading to the 6 but like many others have said, I think it's just a touch too big so will look elsewhere. The nexus 9 looks very tempting but was surprised to see the prices, seems like the days of budget nexus hardware is over.

Ah, right. My mistake. Thank you for the correction. smile

In other news, the N9 is up for £319 and £399 for 16Gb and 32Gb respectively.

Yeah mate, I was lucky to get an invite for the OnePlus at launch.

Had the Nexus 5 before that.

Prior to the Nexus 5, I had the iPhone 4S, Galaxy S4...

Oneplus One is a truly amazing phone - although it does have its hiccups with the new release updates.

I was looking forward to the Nexus 6.. So disappointed.
