[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMARTPHONEPC:
"The Nexus 6 by Motorola will join T-Mobile’s stellar device lineup on November 12 for $0 down (and $27.08 a month for 24 months on our Equipment Installment Plan)."

Eventhough I'm currently satisfied with the T-Mobile plan described by this author & it offers me the best service of all carriers in my primary use area with no current plans of moving, I like the option that if I do need to I could use an unlocked Nexus 6 without compromises on any-all major carriers.

I love my innovative Note2 (& would not trade it in for the value offered), when I got it there was nothing close to it, I haven't written off getting the Note4.. just not likely tomorrow as I had planned although I'll try to check it out in Black at a T-Mobile store this weekend, so far I've only seen it at BestBuy a couple times for like 3 hours total. If the reviews on the Nexus 6 that will be done in the coming weeks don't demonstrate its superior experience & solid build quality (water "resistant" by the way - http://www.motorola.com/us/Nexus-6/nexus-6-motorola-us.html) then I will get the Note4. Even if I get the Nexus 6 & I feel I'm missing out on something I may get it in addition to the Nexus 6 & Note 2 I already have. I don't think it will price out developers & while design assessment is somewhat subjective I actually think it's more modern & stylish than the Note4 although that is not the primary concern of mine. The device is not that much larger than the Note4 or iPhone 6 Plus & definitely smaller than the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 (see http://www.technobuffalo.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-mega-6-3-review/ for size considerations ) that I'll admit I found interesting if it had higher end specs.

I personally immediately replaced TW when I got my Note2 & while it might be better in the Note4 I will still immediately replace it with other more versatile-cooler launchers. The only time I go back to TW is by accident or for a moment when I want to remind myself how much cooler the other lauchers are. I'm not a stock UI person however & customization is very important to me so I don't relate much to Apple products & think their grid of icons plus artificial restrictions is comically offensive.

I'm glad to hear that as I still think the Note line is awesome but when I tested out 3 different units at BestBuy they all sounded terrible at max volume while my Note 2 does not (I also thought the Note3 had a terrible speaker so I avoided it but the Note4 despite its location is an upgrade over the Note 3 just not convinced the speaker is an upgrade of the Note 2's solid mono speaker in the same location). I will go to a T-Mobile store & test out others but I have received confirmation from others online that the note 4 speaker should be turned down because it does indeed often sound terrible at the higher volume settings which is a disappointment for such a great yet expensive top of the line device.
