Same here. If it would of been available before, I would have gone with the X from DBrand, but with quicker shippping and a price difference of only like $0.30, Slickwraps was a no brainer. I'll probably get the X's and my DBrand order the same day. Funny thing is I emailed DBrand the day before I placed my order, which was about a week ago, asking if they were going to do a colored X, and the response was that they were not sure. Kinda bummed, but w/e, robots aren't all smart.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Logi23:
Yup, pretty much. Coupon code on slickwraps made it cheaper by a little.

My dbrand and slickwraps order shipped the same day this week, but I'll probably see the slickwraps first since they are closer to me. Dbrand always says 1-2 weeks, but I always get them within a few days, lol.

Kind of wish dbrand would have just waited then released them all at once; good thing I waited at least till mid last week to order when they released the "Copper" skin because it looked pretty sick from the UnboxTherapy video of the 5X/6P.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Equalixer:
I didn't realise skins were becomming so popular.

I went for this design:

Both should look excellent!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Hmmm.... leather. yup.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] toyanucci:
What I ordered.

So glad my procrastination paid off since the colored X became available while I procrastinated lol. Order shipped yesterday, can't wait to get it!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Help me pick! I think I like the black leather one... but not sure.

And this one is a must have:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] vomer:
Had the leather on the N6 - was pretty nice. Waiting to see some "real" photos of the black titanium

#1 or 3 - not a fan of the nexus color in #3 though... maybe something brighter...

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
That does look good!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] con100:
I went with the titanium back to match the aluminum. Has anyone used that one on other devices? If so how did it look in person?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] krabman:
I've got a suggestion gents... I hereby agree that unless I totally and massively screw up the install I will post a picture here and I would suggest others do so as well. Renders just aren't the same and if we all post up pictures then those that follow can see a real representation of what they are/might be buying into.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] FLUFFYMANGOES:
no you were not the first to do this :laugh::laugh:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sprke:
Do any of these skins add a rubber or matte feel? Or are they all the same slick vinyl feel?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
The matte and color probably add the most texture or grip. The metal ones are pretty good too. I think the carbon fiber ones are kind of slick.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] 06stang:
Well that wasn't a shady way of throwing in shipping at the end. Total! $13 submit payment! Oh by the way after you hit ok we will tell you its $3 shipping
[Nexus 6P Accessories] beaver2233:
Anyone have any ideas for cases to put skins on? The diztronic case for the OPO with a dbrand skin was awesome.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
I usually skin the phone, then put a clear case on over it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Sinergie:
Quite a few people not showing full Nexus love ;) I'll admit 'X' only does look cleaner at times, but it's too generic in my opinion (Xbox, Moto, HTC).

Also for the people who want to know how the skins look in real life photos, just browse through the following thread (lots of examples there):

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/accessories/dbrand-skins-t2492605
[Nexus 6P Accessories] beaver2233:
Yeah that is an option, though I prefer the feeling of the vinyl skin when holding the phone.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splittheatom:
I've read several threads on this issue but my issue seems to be a little different. I'm on T-mobile and am dropping calls, usually at specific increments like 10 minutes or 15 minutes. I sent the original phone back to Motorola and got a replacement, same exact problem with the new phone. I've tried different ROMs and different radios to no avail. Marshmallow doesn't fix the problem either, nor does VoLTE. The issue doesn't happen on Wi-Fi calls, but sometimes the phone has problems actually placing these calls and I have to call the same person 2-3 times to get it to work. It sounds like a combination of a crappy baseband and strange coverage in my area. Normally my coverage is good, I live in a pretty densely populated area and get a good LTE signal 90% of the time. This has been happening for about the past 3 months or so. Any tips would be appreciated.

Awesome. I know what I'm doing tomorrow. Has anyone had any experience pre-ordering with ATT? Does a pre-order guarantee a phone on release?
[AT&T LG V10] chrisrotolo:
Supposedly we need proof of purchase, anyway to get this before actually getting the device? So we don't miss out on this deal?
[AT&T LG V10] projekt1:
What is ATT thinking, only black or blue, really!?
[AT&T LG V10] StaticMoot:
If it were the dark blue, I'd be all over it. I think it's the light powder blue one, which is.... ew.
[AT&T LG V10] projekt1:
Yep, it's the girly blue one. I want the tan w/gold trim one :(
[AT&T LG V10] StaticMoot:
Hopefully they'll carry the white flip case. I get a discount on accessories with ATT. Otherwise, it's to the internet I go. Always liked the storm trooper look a black and white phone gives.

I agree, I like the look of white as well.

I'm getting one to replace my note 3 which has served me well up to this point but is starting to show its age.

Anyone have an idea what time these preorders go live? I don't think it is midnight.

Woot, V10 pre-ordered. Estimated ship date Oct 30th - Nov 3rd. I'll keep you guys posted when I have my new phone in hand.

Fellas, did you guys get the deal? If not, I guess I'll wait a few more days :(

"For a limited time9, when you buy the LG V10, you’ll get a free 200GB memory card, extra battery and battery charging cradle."

"Purchase must be made from October 30, 2015 through November 15, 2015 only ("Promotion Period")."

EDIT: At the bottom of the purchase cart it only says "Purchase the LG V10 by November 15 and receive a FREE 200 GB Memory Card, Extra Battery and Battery Charging Cradle."

So which is it, starting Oct 30 or anytime until Nov 15? :confused::confused:
[AT&T LG V10] bigstunta101:
Either of those two statements pretty much means the same thing. November 15 is the last day
[AT&T LG V10] tersagun:
What they mean is, you have to buy the phone between October 30 and November 15.

I'm afraid they may not mean the same thing. My luck I would go buy it today and miss out on the goodies because it was purchased the 27th and not the 30th when the promotion begins (as stated in fine print). Even though I want to jump on it right now, I'm going to wait until Friday.

Ok here is my dilema. I am due to renew my T-Mobile contract at the beginning of October. My current phone is the HTC Wizard and I have been looking at the N95 as it has a lot of nice features. However I have recently been told about the kaiser and that its about to be released on T-Mobile in September. Can anyone give me any suggestions what I should do or if anyone knows how much it is likely to cost on TMobile UK?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
I like Windows Mobile, so my choise is Kaiser :)

I tried Symbian before, but I dont really like it. Especially application wise.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] roqin:
N95 seems to support only Nokias own GPS soft.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sub69:
Well, I've got an N95, having just switched to Vodafone and been given one for free. It's my fist S60 phone since the Siemens SX1, and I have to say it's really rather nice. Has become my first choice over the Hermes until my Kaiser is delivered...

I'm using Roadsync for MS Exchange and Route66 for GPS navigation with no problems at all (I've also seen TomTom running perfectly on an N95, so don't worry about the compatibility of GPS software). The only thing I'm really missing is the QWERTY keyboard for the many e-mails I knock out every day. Basically, it's not a phone to go for if you'll be writing lots of text, but apart from that it's hard to fault.

The main advantage of the N95 over my other current phone (the Hermes) is the way that S60 deals with data connections. No need for manual switching between Vodafone's Wap and Web connections in order to use either Vodafone Live! or "anything else" because it's all handled automatically with two simultaneous connections if needed. Something that Windows Mobile certainly can't do as far as I'm aware... And WiFi connections are handled more sensibly (in my opinion) under S60, too.

All that said, S60 isn't as configurable as Windows Mobile, and although S60 may have better games, I'm more interested in productivity from my device, so I'm still eagerly awaiting my Kaiser, at which point my N95 will become my weekend phone....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] leoni1980:
no competition

im due an upgrade in two weeks. i tried the n95 for two weeks an i believe it to be the most over-rated handset ive seen since the razr.

granted, gps is a nice feature for a phone to have, but everything else is laggy and slow. the camera is average - certainly not as good as the k series from sony ericsson - just try taking a snapshot on a nokia and try not to get irittated by its slowness! video is excellent i have to say but marred by an inability to have the flash on constantly during filming. also the gallery is painfully slow to refresh thumbnails. battery life is terrible for a phone and the menu navigation system is dreadfully long-winded and ill thought out.

i would definitely wait for the kaiser as it has so much more to offer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sub69:
I'm struggling to think - Qwerty keyboard aside - of anything more that the Kaiser will actually offer?

Anyway, in reply I'd have to say that GPS is perfectly adequate, but the built in software is pretty dodgy. Remains to be seen whether the Kaiser does any better but I'm assuming it will be pretty similar in practise.

Yep, the camera is definitely slower than my old K800i, but significantly better than any PPC phone I've ever owned or seen. Video is pretty good, but I don't really use video so that's not a big deal for me, and at least the N95 has a flash - I definitely can't see the Kaiser being any better for video or stills.

Generally, I find the phone no more laggy than my Hermes (even after it's WM6 speedup) especially when multitasking. The gallery certainly seems to be no worse than "Pictures and Videos" on my Hermes when it comes to speed, but I only have about 75 pics / videos on the N95 at the moment compared to a couple of hundred on my Hermes.

Battery life isn't good, but I'm getting the same sort of time between charges with my N95 as I do with my Hermes (which is not a long time - about 24 hours).

I didn't particularly like the S60 menus either. The first thing I did was create folders and subfolders all over the place and rearrange virtually every single icon in the phone. After getting used to it though, I find it better in many ways than Windows Mobile - you can at least shift program icons around and have them in any order you want rather than just alphabetical (Probably why there are no pieces of "Launcher" software made for S60 - there's no need for them when it's basically built in to the OS).

I would like to point out that the "Active Standby" screen (or Today screen as we WM users would call it) is utterly useless on the N95. You can't put anything on it except for a row of 6 program shortcuts and a couple of other rows which are all but identical to the default WM setup (Next Appointment & Messages received). Massive mistake by Nokia not allowing custom plugins as I believe they have on their E-Series smartphones.

Anyway, it's all personal preference and you have to go with what suits you better. Kaiser is definitely my number one choice because I use my devices for business and messaging more than games and pictures. However, after a good few years away from Symbian phones I'm very glad that this Nokia fell into my lap - I'd never have thought of paying for one and I've been very pleasantly surprised by the *lack* of limitations that I've found compared to my WM devices.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] leoni1980:
The qwerty keyboard is quite a 'deal-breaker' really, compared to the squat t9 keypad of the n95. The fact that the difference in size is not all that great sways it for me, and you can tilt the Kaiser too! I certainly believe that the Kaiser is more of 'what computers have become' than the flimsily-built and rather frustrating Nokia N95. I just wish the Kaiser had a VGA screen, then it would be PERFECT.

If the Kaiser has the same camera as the Ameo then it will take superior black and white pictures to the N95 (in my opinion anyway) with greater depth and clarity. The shutter lag on the 3mp HTC cams might be an issue but the response time on the Nokia's camera application is so poor that they're kind of on a level really. Also 5mp vs 3mp is rather an insignificant comparison considering most of us will rarely blow our pictures up above 7" by 4".

I will concede that the N95 camera is better at night.

There are a ton more applications for windows mobile including a huge array of GPS applications (an advanced windows live search, tomtom, copilot etc), a free media player -TCPMP- which can play most video types and an integrated Remote Desktop which is superb.

It's touch screen so it feels more 'hands on'. This really shows itself when you're browsing the net. Despite the cute pointer on the N95's browser it still feels a little rigid and limited.

Hot-swappable sim slot - suprisingly handy if you're stuck on contract with someone other than t-mobile and want to take advantage of T-Mobile's quid a day PAYG internet service without taking your phone apart.

As regards the menu system - well I don't know which wm6 ROM you were using but mine on my TyTn was like **** off a shovel. INFINITELY faster than nokia's sllloooooowwww and overly-snazzy gallery facility, and snappier in menus. Since the Kaiser is so much higher spec we can expect lightning fast menu transitions.

My Nokia was on T-Mobile, though I also tested a friend's on Orange. After installing a number of applications we both found that the N95 would restart after heavy use with more than a few applications running in the background.

So there we have my reasons for choosing the Kaiser over an N95.

Oh and another, shallower reason for owning the Kaiser.....

It's all shiny and lovely.

I want one and i want one NOW!

I like how customizable Windows Mobile is. I got my Hermes last year and in these short 10 months, my phone has transformed so much, from the original WM5, then to the Elf LSVW WM6, then to the various Black ROMs. I feel that my phone isn't 10 months old. It is very new and current. Same thing can't be said about Symbian phones or others.

So my next phone decision is easy. It would be a Windows Mobile phone. Only need to think about which one. For now, Kaiser would be the best out there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sub69:
Qwerty is most definitely a deal breaker for me too. That's why the Kaiser is going to be my main phone.

I've never taken a single black and white photo in my life, so I couldn't possibly comment on that specific aspect, but if you think that the Athena's camera is better than the N95, then I won't argue... My opinion is different, but there you go.

Yes, a hot-swappable sim slot may well come in handy. I have no use for it personally, but I can appreciate that someone might.

Apart from that, everything else falls into the category of S60 vs WM. It's a very old arguement. I'm very definitely in the Windows camp because of the tasks I use my devices for, but S60 will be a better choice for others.

The N95 shows how far S60 has come, but it was never designed to compete with WM PPC Phones - that's what S80 and UIQ have been trying to do (badly). I'm very happy with the N95, but for me it'll never replace a PPC phone.

Probably a better comparison with the WM6 Kaiser would be the S60 Nokia E90. The Kaiser still comes out on top for me, but again - it depends what features you want / need, doesn't it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] abubasim:
I would definitely pick the E90 before the Kaiser, with the display being the deciding feature.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hbendavid:
I have a Hermes personally, but my best friend owns an N95 and I have a Test Kaiser to play with right now and it's a pretty great phone. It feels more phone-like than the Hermes and it is definately slimmer and the keyboard tilt is a nice feature. As future ROMs become available for it as far as the biotouch or TouchFLO interface, I think the Kaiser will be a serious iPhone competitor. If you love a no-hastle multimedia interface, go for the Nokia. If you like expandability and touchscreen and rely on Exchange for mail, I'd go with the HTC.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserchief:
I think I agree with everything HBK has said. Although there is a patch to allow TomTom to run with the N95's internal GPS.

I never used the old firmware, because as soon as I received my N95, I altered the product code with Nemesis and reflashed it with the latest Nokia unbranded firmware (mainly to get rid of all the garish operator themes).

I think that the first thing everyone does with a new smartphone should be to update the firmware, but maybe that is why some N95's are running slowly?

My brother-in-law works for Nokia and has had a prototype N95 since late last year. (At the time I have to admit to being totally uninterested when he showed me his new toy. I dismissed it as "just another nasty Nokia"). He's never reflashed the thing, and hates it because it's so slow and nothing works. I've tried to tell him to update it, but never has.

As HBK says, it depends what you want your device for. I think gooshy needs to think about whether he'd rather have a keyboard and the best productivity software, or a phone with better games software and a better camera?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] HBK:
Unfortunately there isn't a N95 patch for TT. A fraudster with a company named gpsmidlands (beware!) did his best to make us believe such a patch exsisted, but no. He got busted two days ago by some clever guys. It was only a scam to attract attention to his site. He used a bunch of nicks to promote his views and even after being busted, the mods have done nothing to stop him. I believe he has close to 10 nicks right now...

You can read the thread here http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62954. That will also show you the quality of this site, compared to what is available for the S60 series. After reading that thread, you will agree with item #3 on my 'con' list, I am quite sure :)

The N95 runs Exchange mail quite nice too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mean-machine:
I've got a Hermes and N95, which I bought for my fiancee when she dropped her SE W850i into a bucket of water :(

It's sleek and nice, and if I needed a phone rather than a "real thing" I would sell my Vario II and buy another one for me. But even when I tried TT6 with a Bluetooth receiver it wasn't that smooth as on Vario II. The battery drainage is also a problem. The only thing that I perceive as better is that in my area it keeps 3G signal better than Hermes, and it's got far better camera (pic are really good outside, but when you take them inside eg. museum with limited light, it's no match for a normal camera).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Nicky:
I think they are both good phones but I would go for the phone with Windows Mobile at the end of the day because I like that there is more software available and the fact that there are a lot of developers tweaking and improving the operating systems for the rest of us (which is much appreciated :))

The N95 looks prettier and is more compact, plus has a great camera but the touch screen, keyboard and operating system of the Kaiser wins everytime for me.

I guess it very much depends what you need and expect from your phone, for a lot of people a standard compact phone that just does texts, makes calls and looks pretty is all they need so something like the Razr or SE's would be fine, and for others they need a full mini office which is where the Kaiser is in its element.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hanza:
I have N95 (since April 07) and Kaiser (for 2 days) and to be honest I still can't decide :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jamijam:
I had the n95 for a couple of weeks. I now I have the Kaiser.

If the N95 had decent battery life on HSDPA/3G then it would be the winner for me. It's a great phone all-around with ****loads of stuff built-in like podcasting, etc. I found the operating system quite polished compared and the browser rocks.

Unfortunately the N95 on 3G would only last 10 hours for me on standby. Dead half-way through the day. That just kills it.
