    Nexus 6 visual dating clues?

    So I am planning on getting a used N6 from Swappa. Of course, I'd rather get a 6 month old one than a 2 year old one. Some sellers are not the original owners so they don't necessarily know the age. Are there any visual clues to determine an earlier or later production phone? I read you can...

    Did you know Google Now, "Navigate to blah, blah" works?

    One thing that's always been a PIA of Navigate for me is setting the destination easily and quickly. I usually put it in ahead of time it's such a PIA for me to do on the fly. (Driving) So tonight I'm listening to Erica Griffin's N4 Mother of all reviews to see if I'd missed anything good with...

    Help Wireless charger weirdness, charger w/Ringke Fusion case weirdness? or No weirdness?

    So I'm on activation curfew with my N4 until I can sell my Spirit :( but that doesn't stop me from getting some "needed" goodies for it and getting it set up in the meantime. Thankfully it came with the Fusion case as I might likely have gotten that one anyway if it hadn't. So I got this...

    Nubbies Vs Nubbieless, What's the deal?

    I'm confused. Some of the N4's appear to have just a flat glass back. Some have "the nubbies" that look patterned (kinda). Is one newer than the other? If so, about when did they change? What's the deal? :confused: Bruce in Ocala, Fl-wondrin' if he needs da nubbies or not

    Yikes! Spirit now $269 at Metro?

    With tax and activate that would be over 3 Benjes. Luckily Wirefly is still $239 which is what I paid for mine I think in Feb. That REALLY spells effed up when you see that there's only $89 difference between the Spirit (at Metro) and the G3 (at Wirefly). They must be selling BUTTLOADS...

    I think we should nuke the Mothership

    with this message on their Faceplant page. Call LG up Last Month. Have them start making the Spirit with a GSMer in it. Make them in BOTH Metro and T-Mo and you can even charge more for the T-Mo model and make more profit. It shouldn't have to go through a full recertification just to...
