Many people here complain that phone is too big without ever using phablet. I was in this camp too until I started to use N6. I was testing this phone for last couple months. It's an amazing device, and even though sometimes it does feel big, on day to day basis it was never an issue for me. Consuming any type of content was much easier and more pleasurable. I noticed the difference especially when I sometimes moved back to Nexus 5 which I thought was perfect size. Well, it turns out I changed my mind now:)
If you can, try to use phablet at least for 1-2 days before discarding it.
One thing that might have helped is that I'm also using a smartwatch now and I take out my phone less frequently, but I don't think this change anything much.
I feel the same way; once you go big you don't go back!
However the $649 price tag (and possibly higher outside the U.S.) will deter a lot of people who otherwise would have almost automatically upgraded to the next Nexus. I'm such a person. The $349 Nexus 5 is suddenly very attractive, it's big enough and fast enough.
I wish Google would provide memory expansion but for $349 I'm willing to live without it. For $649 I'm not willing to live without microSD, however.
That's exciting to hear. My gut reaction is that this is far too large. However, the idea of always carrying with me something that is nearly as big as my Nexus 7 is enticing. I love reading on my N7, but I never seem to have it on me when I want it.
The smartwatch + phablet combo is not something I had thought about. Which watch are you using?
