[Nexus 6  General] cop1152:
Received Project Fi Nexus Yesterday..

1. Blacksburg, Virginia

2. Requested invite on April 22

3. My invite came through June 24

4. I received and activated my phone June 30

I have been a Sprint customer for 10 years and have been mostly very happy with them. I almost didnt want to port over my Sprint number, but I did anyway and I am glad I did. It was effortless. Once you receive the invite and order your phone you can begin the porting over before your phone arrives. Google asks for your current providers account number, your PIN, the billing name and address. When your Project Fi Nexus arrives and you power it on the porting is initiated. For me it was very simple and effortless. I was up and running in 10 minutes.

During setup I was prompted to place my Note 3 and my Nexus back-to-back to NFC data from the old phone to the new phone. This is the first time I have used NFC and it was quick and easy! The Nexus immediately began to download all of my apps, update my contacts, and even update my wireless AP's from the Note 3.

Everyone already knows that the phone includes the welcome back, which contains neatly packed headphones, a power pack for recharging when you arent near an outlet, and a neat case. The stock Turbo Charger is pretty cool.

My previous phone was a Note 3, rooted and running 5.1 AICP and I was very happy with it. The Nexus is a bit bigger, but I have giant hands so thats a good thing. The Nexus is fast and fluid. I really like it. My only complaints are root-access related. I havent rooted it yet and I probably wont for a while. Not being able to decide which shortcuts (wifi, GPS, bluetooth, etc) appear in the pulldown menu is a bummer. And I cant doubletap on the status bar to place the phone into standby. Also, the camera shutter sound is annoying. I always had it disabled on my rooted phones. Those are my only complaints so far. So...not bad.

I am also super happy with my service. Previously, when using Sprint on my Note 3, the only times I have 4G/LTE is when I travel to New York, LA, and Atlanta. When I am home its 3G and sometimes even 1X. With the Nexus I always have a LTE signal unless I am on Wifi. The speed difference is noticeable. I cant wait to try it out when I travel!

Calls have been clear and handoff has been seamless, as far as I know. Text messages are transmitted/received immediately. Data is immediate and fast. The phone is super responsive.

My biggest concern is the amount of data that I will be using. I chose the 1 gig plan, having no idea what my daily/weekly/monthly data usage was like. My Sprint plan was a grandfathered unlimited data plan. I have never had to worry about data. I routinely tether my phone, routinely download torrents using my phones wireless AP, stream music, videos, etc without ever worrying about my data usage. So, I am a bit concerned about data usage.

Battery life on the Nexus has been what-I-would-call great. Having to plugin my Note 3 several times per day was a hassle. I fully charged the Nexus yesterday at 4pm and it is now 5am the following day and I still have half-a-battery. I really havent put down the phone since I got it, like one does with a new phone. Plus, I use Waze and Audible when I drive, which is pretty rough on the battery.

Anyway, so far so good with my Project Fi Nexus 6!
