What's the wait time like now?
Mine took four working days to arrive back in Oct.
Ordered mine last week (Friday I think) and it's in Heathrow as of Saturday and has been there since. No updates, still says it's there.
Hmm, it's definitely tempting. I'm in no big rush to upgrade my Nexus 4; performance etc is fine for me, but the extra battery life would be appreciated and my Nexus doesn't seem the best at retaining a signal, though OTA updates seem to have improved that aspect over launch.
In terms of 4G, the OPO isn't good either, however 3G should be better. By all accounts battery life is excellent - with 3rd party apps that manage apps and system resources, people are getting over 7 hours screen on time! Bear in mind though, that's most likely assuming perfect signal etc
It's a shame radio performance is something which is fairly difficult to quantify, so isn't something we see in many reviews. Even devices using the same modem/transceiver can vary significantly in performance it seems.
Edit: Oh and OFC the OPO doesn't support the 800MHz band for LTE, so no Vodafone or O2.
I've found the 4G to be perfectly reasonable, myself. But I don't really have a comparison point, other than my 3G Nexus 4 which isn't much of a comparison point. The main reason I went 4G was to get better coverage, and I've had that without a doubt.
Which company are you with to get 4G coverage?
4g isn't great for battery life either.
if theres any invites going can I have one pretty please? Rockliffe kindly sent me a random one he found but it was gone.
That's a shame :( Seem to be a few floating around on here - hopefully mine will arrive soonish
I got 3 64Gb invites in today if anyone's still after one
And three two one here
Thanks to Jim I'm now skint!
Not for me - far too much cheap plastic for me and its huge. That said, given the dissapointing price (and even bigger size!) of the N6, I can easily see the OPO becoming the new equivalent to a Nexus 5. The best thing it has going for it is the price, which is reasonable given the specs.
I can say now that it doesn't feel cheap at all. The textured back is amazing, although doesn't feel resistant at all to wear and I've already bought a DBrand skin for it (carbon fibre). Once I get that I'll start using the phone. For the time being though, I'll keep using my Z1. It's not as big as I thought it'd be - it's not any bigger than a Z1 and yet the extra screen space makes it look so. The vibration on the phone is horrible - it sounds cheap and has a clicking to it with prolonged periods (knowing my luck it's broken). That's my only gripe with the phone so far, and you can turn it off so it's not a problem.
