Had a Note 3 up until today and this nexus is beautiful. Almost no bloat ware at all.

Can I have your honest opinion on the Nexus 6? Linus did a pretty scathing review of it, while everyone else seems to enjoy it a lot, namely MKBHD. 

 

So yeah, what do you think of it?

 

-edit- One thing in particular I believe Linus was really unhappy with was the stock google keyboard. Personally, I can't live without it, and any other keyboard (namely the HTC Sense and Swiftkey keyboards) are way too clunky for me and I can't stand them.

Yeah, the Nexus 6 is great. I love mine. Samsung's TouchWiz is meh.

I picked up a Nexus 6 32GB Cloud White off the Motorola website a few months ago. So far I'm absolutely loving it as well.

Honestly its everything I ever wanted in a phone and more. Fully recommend it over anything currently on the market

I'd probably feel different if the note 4 didn't have touch wiz

So basically Linus was just hating on google/motorola for the sake of hating on them?

Everyone has different tastes. Some like Apple, some like Samsung and others like myself like the nexus. I bought it because I have large hands and dont want my phone locked down beyond belief

No, he makes some valid points. Mostly software issues that not all people will care about or encounter.
