It's not. I have it and I can't wait to get rid of it. Selling this POS and getting an iPhone 6s

I hated my N6 damn near since my first week of having it. Switching over to the 6s+ is the best decision I've made phone-wise since copping the G1.

What's so bad about it?

What's so bad about it?

• Horrible battery life. Using the phone at 60% or above brightness would kill the battery while I was using the phone. The HD screen seems to be too hungry for the battery. It wasn't much better in standby mode. I don't do shyt and I don't have but a few apps (no Facebook and all of my apps are set to not sync) and my battery would drop while it was in my bag at work. Could barely last completely through the a standard work day with only 2 or so hours of screen on time. I would literally go from the 15% warning to 5% immediately to the phone powering off in 15 minutes.
  
• Camera is not consistent in real world usage. It either takes great pictures with patience or average to below average pictures. My experience was below average. I've missed some great pics of my son simply because the pictures turned out bad.
  
• Never worked right with Bluetooth in my car. Random disconnects, slow to reconnect, switching inputs (radio to XM back to phone) the resets tracks from the beginning, etc.
  
• The biggest deal breaker was that I couldn't use non-stock based ROMs on it to improve some of the issues above. Usually most of the stuff above could be fixed or at least lessened with a custom rom. A lot of the better roms are AOSP-based and lollipop AOSP roms don't show bluetooth metadata and have iffy steering wheel controls when I'm connected to my car. This meant I had to choose between a crappy stock battery or not being able to control my music when driving.

when you cop it just pop in your already active VZW simcart (assuming its a nano sim). Dont even need to go to the store.

you really want to answer the surface with an android tablet? its an android tablet

Apple answered the Surface with a souped up iPad & most folks are cysing it.

If Apple can do that, Google can answer with a souped up Android Tablet designed by the Chromebook Pixel team.

But Google has fukked up if their not releasing it with a special Stylus like the Surface & iPad Pro. Watch in a few months or Probably even less, Samsung announce Note Tablet Pro.

when you preorder do they take the money right away or when it ships?

They take it out to preauthorize the transaction but it should go back, then they charge you when it ships.
