[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
It was suggested a thread "Google Nexus 6 - What do you think?" should not discuss what we think, if what we think is we don't like it as too big, and other threads should be started on the actual specifications. I think that's a GREAT idea.

Here's some suggested threads to start:

- I love my Nexus 6, but how to make your thumb longer so you can use it, tips'n'tricks. e.g. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...st-get-this-giant-thumb-extension-from-japan/

- I love my Nexus 6, but I keep dropping it due to it being much wider than the length of my fingers, any tips'n'tricks like some seriously strong bumpers?

- I love my Nexus 6, I could initially use it, but I did keep dropping it and so I put it in a really sturdy bumper but now it is even bigger and now I can't operate it. I tried the thumb extender but its got stuck on my thumb and now I can't operate a keyboard. Any tips'n'tricks?

- I love my Nexus 6, but now Android M has been announced with features only on 64bit and my Nexus 6 is 32bit, I've found it won't sell much on Swappa, so any good tips'n'tricks on what do with it? What is it like as Tablet? Well yes, 6" is quite small for tablet so its worse there, any other ideas? I really hate those iphone 6+ users who can sell their phones for 70% of new price but I find my Nexus 6 now sells for at most 50% of its new price and I've actually lost more money than I would have with Apple. Any tips'n'tricks to make a Nexus 6 increase in value?

- I love my Nexus 6, now the much faster Nexus 5 2015 64bit has come out, with features XXX YYY ZZZ, given I can't operate the Nexus 6, do you think I should swap to the N5 2015?

Please, others interested in these other topics, go start those threads ;) Either now in in the next few months.

Newer tech drops in absolute value fastest, so the actual cheapest thing to do is buy another used N4, they come up for $100 upwards.

Next cheapest is these Nexus 6 rumors, in part, has helped drop N5 prices, they are selling now good condition $220, mint condition about $270. If the Nexus 6 is real, and is released, it would be wise to avoid it for a couple of months to let bugs be worked out and then if you still like N6 then get it and keep the used N5 you got as your spare, as any phone can break. The Dev community will work wonders in initial months on kernel tweaks etc to get better battery life / performance. Nexus has a history of bad cameras and tweak take time to address.

I'd not recommend you have no decent working phone and not do buy anything based on rumors, the N6 might not happen, or have a stupid price or some other issue.

Personally... I'd get a used Nexus 5, and then either sell it later for not much less than you bought it for, or keep it as a spare, heck possibly even if you bought a Nexus 6 you might just never get used to its size and move back to the N5 anyway. I got a N5 and then a OnePlusOne 5.5" and I tried to adapt but I couldn't and bought a used N5 over weekend and selling my OPO. I'll pick up the N5 2015 edition or something else next year. At least I was moving between good phones the whole time.
