It's great! Wow, that's some seriously old software.  I recently upgraded to 12S, might go for 12.1 nightly soon on my OPO. Just rooted it so still looking at all the features I just unlocked.  | ||

The Nexus 6 might have hardware that allows it to auto-switch between three networks or that they may just want to start off with a relatively small number of customers to make sure everything is running smoothly first. | ||

I've been hesitating to update because I'm too lazy to wipe the phone. | ||

Working on multiple networks (including CDMA + GSM) at the same time, switching between them seamlessly, is quite unusual (even for Europe, it is not done). The rest of the offerings are very competitive for the US, but are kind of laughable compared to a lot of places in Europe. But bear in mind that a lot of US customers are paying like $70-$90+ per month to Verizon, so... There is a good cost comparison here, if you want information on the sorry landscape of USA's phone network (don't even get me started on the sorry landscape of USA's high speed internet): http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/04/22/how-googles-project-fi-pricing-stacks-up-to-the-competition/ | ||

 actually ikarus gaming is kind of a gaming company around these parts of the globe...I remember when i had to pay $200-250 dollars for my Moto X 2014, on a 1.5 year old contract, phone itself can cost about $700, the Galaxy S6 about a $1000 dollars without contract | ||
