Title says it all...
I got my invite today, $1,500 and Glass can be mine.
I've been really intrigued by glass since it was announced.
I'm not a programmer but a tech. enthusiast who would really like to take advantage of some of the features of glass.
I like the idea of having the navigation on my heads up while driving, as well as seeing messages/emails etc.
So... what do you think... is it worth it, will it come down in price next year?
I can spend the $1500... but SHOULD I!?
LOL.
Thanks all.

I just bought a pair, and know someone that is also interested.
Did you click on the link in the email? If you did while connected to your google account, then it can't be used by another user.
Otherwise I'm interested.

If he did click it, he can buy it and then have your friend just buy directly from him. Google isn't locking us down any more.

I understand. What did you have in mind? Reply here or PM if need be.
got one yesterday as well. ordered for pickup. however if you don't pick up they refund the money to your card. Still debating.......
It is really neat, but it also has a lot of shortfalls. Primarily battery life.
AND It's a lot of money
I got an invite to google glass yesterday, and was also wondering if I should do it. Does anyone know what happens if a new cheaper version comes out? Do you have to buy it again?
Also I can't see why this would be an issue but does anyone know if glass works on phones using custom ROMs?
Google has said that the current XE-C is, hardware-wise, what the commercial version will be. They already allowed the owners of XE-B to exchange theirs for XE-C for free, so if Google did make further changes then I bet they'd do it again.
I am running CM11 and have no issues. I would not expect there to be, so long as the ROM has a proper Bluetooth stack.

Yes it works with roms. Play store has an app that you download to phone, and set up glass that way. You can wifi and bluetooth to your phone for calls, sms etc. I have a note 3 rommed and using them now. IMO- they are not $1500 cool. May be sending mine back within the 30 days... still playing with them

I got my G4 from T-Mobile less than two weeks ago, filled out the online promo redemption form and yesterday I received 2 packages, each with the batty, charging dock, and a leather back. I'm not sure why they sent me two but I'm not complaining.
The charging dock is great because you've always got a full battery on deck. I had the same thing with my G3 last year.
If you haven't done so, go to lgpromo.com and get your free stuff!

Did they send you a confirmation Email about you being approved?. I filled out mines about a week ago and it mentioned it would take 3-5 days to get a confirmation Email but nothing yet.
Mine was just approved on Monday, took about one week for approval and shipment.

Too bad I missed the promo.
I will get G4 as soon as tomorrow, but now it's $480.
Yay! I got my battery, battery charger and red leather back from @granttaylor99 that I bought from him!! Quick and easy buy just in case anyone else ever runs into this guy.
There is someone else that got a hold of me selling the battery and battery charger for $40 if anyone wants to know who is selling it just let me know.
Did the $480 deal. Received my red leather back, battery and charger yesterday. Wasn't even aware of the deal until I got home with the phone less than 2 weeks ago and ran into it on the site
I think I like the "red" (burgandy) better than the tmo stock Brown/orange.
Hello guys!
I hope everyone is going great here..
Ok, to the point, I'm looking to buy a 'new' phone and I was wondering if buying a Motorola Nexus 6 would be a good idea even after 3 years of its release.
Phone status: refurbished
Website: Aliexpress.com
Prince: ~$200 USD
Maybe anyone has bought one around this time and can guide me through this process, or if someone thinks I should look for another device please tell me.
Please have a great day, thanks guys!

I wonder if 'refurbished' means a new battery inside.
Probably not.
A good phone with a 3 year old battery.
For the price you mentioned, I would prefer a cheap phone with a new battery.

You should be able to find one alot cheaper then that on eBay or Amazon etc.
I find the Nexus 6 great for my use.
I generally have a bad feeling about refurbished items. I much prefer buying used things locally, directly from the previous owner.
And as mentioned, you'll have to replace the battery at some point. Mine is still reasonable, but 3 years are a lot for a battery.

I just upgraded from Hammerhead to Shamu a few months ago. I got a refurbished Nexus 6 on eBay for $200. The device I received was in great condition and I have had zero issues with it. The specs on the Nexus 6 are still good even with newer devices being released. The developer support for Shamu is still active and progressive. I would recommend this device to anyone who knows how to properly use a good phone.
Bought two N6 a year and three months ago, batteries are doing great. AMAZON prime.

It is still a great device. I have brought my N6 back from semi retirement and haven't skipped a beat. $200 is a decent price if the phone is in MINT condition and if it is 64GB. Check for screen burn. Also look at ebay. You might get a 64GB one for $165 or so. YMMV!
Its still very speedy and the display is very beautiful, doesn't feel like a 3 year old phone at all!

The only drawback I have seen is its only a 32bit phone. Watching a movie or youtube with speakers on each side is really good. I will definitely keep one as a spare.

Bought ours off Amazon prime about a year and a half ago. They say because its so old...cannot sell as "new". Both had factory seals and had never been opened. Its been all good ever since. Its a tough little device.

Pros:
Great multimedia device
speakers
still quite speedy with the right ROM
rear camera does well in low light due to ois compared to cheaper phones
Cons:
Google's os updates are done
Developer interest is waning as everyone moves to 64bit architecture
Screen is not the best AMOLED but isn't bad either (whites are a problem)
the charging port destroys cables
Front camera is just plain horrendous (would matter if you are fan of selfish or whatever it's called )
The power button is wobbly on my refurbished unit
Rear camera has some serious noise issues
Found the dac incapable of handling my higher impedance sennheisers ( my 1+1 pumps out more volume)

The micro usb cables i've used with my nexus 6 start to loosen on the micro usb side i.e. The two pins that have spring action just get depressed and never return? I've used the same cable (identical both were part of the same package high quality steel braided yada yada yda) with my oneplus one and its still pristine. My friend with a nexus 6 also has this happening to his cables. Very minor problem charging and sync still fine. I just like to share even the little incoveniences. Probably not a very prevalent issue either.
Development of roms has definitely stalled these days thats a bigger problem.

Hi. I asked Wonda mobile. They didn't have it but followed up and obtained one fo me. It was about $125.
It was shipped together with Mate 10. I should get it in about 5 days. Will let you know how it turns out.
Ah I could have asked them to send it with my phone when I ordered from them.

I'm still not completely convinced Wonda is sending me the official Envizion 360 Camera. Although the image of it they sent me looks a lot like it. However the associated box did not have the word Envizion
on it. Everything else looks like Huawei's ad for it. Maybe the model is indicated elsewhere on the box where I couldn't see. I'm inquiring about it. Hopefully everything works out!

I received phone and camera. The delivered camera is called the Huawei 360 Panoramic VR Camera. Model CV60. I looked it up on internet and the specs seem nearly the same as the Envizion 360 except that, from what I read, the Envizion is 30g and the CV60 model is 50g. Maybe that info was not correct or different materials used or they are truly different devices. All else, as far as I can tell, was the same including resolution and performance. Maybe the word Envizion was used when applying for patent in US. Also, I just tried it and it seems to work as shown in a youtube video about the Envizion.
So it seems like it is the same or equivalent. Regardless, I'm fine with this. If anyone knows more please feel free to chime in!
PS. I haven't had a chance to play with the Mate 10, but, one thing for sure, the camera does a nicer job than Mate 9 in lower light. Also like running navigation from fps. A nice touch! (no pun intended...)
So Wonda Mobile sell the camera as an optional add on when you buy a Mate 10 but they also sell it separately if you ask them. £109 plus DHL shipping.
Anywhere in Europe that also sells it?

I pre-ordered mine and received that camera as a bundle package. Currently trying to sell that locally as it's no use to me, my recording skills are so poor that I rarely record anything. As I 've seem some Polish re-sellers have that camera in offer.

Sorry for the hijack. This is driving me nuts though.
I received the Huawei 360 VR camera as part of a bundle with the Mate 10 today (Vodafone Australia).
I cannot get it to work though, and I'm not sure if it is the camera, or the fact that the rom upgraded once I hit wifi.
When plugged in, the camera light comes on for a few seconds. Nothing shows up in the camera app though.

I got mine from Trendy phone. They sent me a second hand one and I paid full price. Really annoyed. Buyer beware.
This is looking to be an epic phone guys. ??? Mine is already pre-ordered since this morning. Who else is getting this bad boy? What feature's got you most excited?
I'm getting it! Pre-ordering tomorrow through Bell. I'm excited about everything to be honest. I've been strictly with LG the past few years and have been making a ton of themes for it so I'm looking forward to a completely new device and experience...and of course to theme it!
But yeah for exciting features I'd have to say the camera is right up there with the in screen fingerprint scanner. I'm reading conflicting reports though about the ir feature. Some say it works as an it blaster to control a tv and some say it doesn't and just does the facial recognition thing. If it does do the tv function then that will also be something I love!

Mark Bencze in the house! Now you got me even more excited. Yeah man I remember rocking your themes on my LG G7 thinq which was a low key awesome phone btw. But yeah prepare to be amazed if the mate 20 is better than the p20 were in for a treat. I remember finishing work at 5 with 86% battery. That phone was beast. Anyway you give me even more reason to be looking forward to that phone. I always have more than one device so let me know if you need a tester. ?
I called Bell today and they aren't doing pre-orders quite yet. Hopefully they do soon so I can get everything taken care of.

I am on the fence. Given the screen issues that are reported I want to see what batches we get in Canada. Plus lack of getting bootloader unlock (though not a must have) may be the deal-breaker for me... I wonder if the prices on 2 year contracts will be good on Black Friday.
I am also about to order this phone from Fido, however, only concern is the screen.
Not sure how warranty would work, i want to buy the phone (full price).

So far, all the unboxing videos showed an included transparent case. So I would say yes but I ordered one from Amazon just in case. No pun intended. As far as the official ones, did you try Huawei's website?

Those are solid points. As far as the screen issue goes well you have 15 days to return or exchange the phone. If you wait you miss out on the free Huawei watch 2 (if that matters to you.

I pre-ordered mine on the 26th from Rogers, and just called in today to get an update. Nothing in the system yet, but hopefully they're still ready to deliver on the 7th/8th.
I asked what the return policy was, and she did mention I have the 15 days if I change my mind. I recommend all of you to use it like crazy to detect any of the green screen issues early on!
Let's all keep each other posted on when we receive it and if we notice any issues.
Looks like no freebies from Bell which really bothers me. They're the only ones not offering anything when you pre-order. I'm still grabbing one but I'm disappointed they're not offering anything.

Yeah I called a Bell world store and was told the same thing. They said it's for new activations only though aka 2 year deal and I'm buying mine outright so I likely won't get it unless I get lucky. Fingers crossed. Thursday morning I'm grabbing it!
