And it's massive.

But it's better. Nexus 5x doesn't even have stereo speakers, it's the fake ones.  :(

Haha, I'd love to see an external amp with a built in memory card slot. If someone would design that, it'd be awesome, and in my mind perfect for anyone who really needs to carry around that much music. 

 

And it's massive.

It's big, but manageable.

You'd get used to it super fast.

That'd be cool, but I usually just plug it into my car for drives to school and work

Starts at 499 and add on $90 for Nexus protect and then add 40 for taxes = $630 vs my $490

 

Plus I'm not a crackhead that wants to carry a tablet around.  I really wish the Nexus was 5" and not 5.2", but I'll live

Not it isn't. It still has the same problems, in fact it can be worse, you cannot download a patch to fix a hardware fault!

It happens.

The iPhone 6s has 2 different CPUs.

 

And you make end up with a useless phone like an iPhone 4, where your calls drop out like flys1

I can always RMA it, or I can break it and use my Nexus protect.  Looking at revisions on other nexus devices there was nothing really deal breaking with the first revision phones.

im not slapping down $600 for a new phone when i got one last year. (and im on sprint)

I know what you mean.  My 2 years is up in two months and my LG G2 is broken :(.  You do save $25 a month when you don't use a subsidized phone though (and $10 more if you buy insurance from sprint).
