What about SD cards? Broken as expected?
kind of a big deal.
PLEASE add customizable themes!
I HATE white backgrounds! If I'm in a dark place, I don't want to look like a lighthouse. Not to mention white is boring and uses more battery. If you are going to ruin the color scheme by having a white background, at least allow it to be customized. So we can have a dark background.
Everything so light?
What's going on with this new trend of everything having to be so white/light? if i wanted to burn my retinas out i'd get an iPhone!
I really hope they leave an option for those of us who prefer light text on a dark background as it's just easier to read.
That's an excellent example of an area where manufacturers can tweak their unique flavor of Android in order to differentiate.
Excellent review!
You just made me want to jump right away and get the update on my phone! I can't wait any longer.

Hey Eric/Rich..
How long until your Nexus 6 review is up?
We're aiming for Wednesday.

Can I take a cricket galaxy phone that I bought but it has never been activated and use it on my Verizon plan?
I Wonder
When my Galaxy Note 3 is going to get it
I love the fact that manufacturers are now racing to be the first one to update their phones to Android 5.0. In the past you used to have to wait months, even up to a year, to get the update, if you got it at all. By now OEM's are starting to recognize that customers want the upgrades, and are trying to get them out in a timely fashion. Indeed, they are even competing to be the first one to update all their devices. Consumers benefit from this.

RIP Lock Screen Widgets :-(
I'm really upset by the loss of Lock Screen Widgets! I check the weather and my calendar using cLock (Chronus) and also have a full month view widget from Business Calendar if I swipe right. I would much rather have that option instead of just showing notifications I can get from the top anyway.
