      yeah, I've been looking. I really want the next version of the Nexux, the current one is already to old to want.

      I'm still on a Nexus 5. You shush 😛 Actually paying for phones kinda sucks if you want the latest/greatest. That's the only think that might be considered not great by Americans about the mvno I use, Ting (That's my referral link, fyi.)

      What do you average for payments with them? I get concerned I'm going to go nuts and spend a ton of money hah.

      My maximum was $35, I average $27, and last months was $25.68. Staying on WiFi and my personal VPN really keep me off the heavy data usage.

        I might do that. We have Straight Talk right now. It's $45 and 5 GB data. But I never use that much.

          I'm on Republic Wireless right now. Great service, and Wifi calling. My bill averages $15 a month or so.

              None of the Nexus phones are on this list. Makes me kind of think they were compensated somehow.

                The Nexus 6P and 5 are both there. You don't even have to buy a phone from them, just a SIM card.

                  I'm actually getting new glass put on my nexus 5 and I'm going to mount it in my car for OBD2 data display.

                  If I had not broken the glass I'd still use it, it's a really solid piece of kit.

                    If the phone & touchscreen still work... why not keep it around, lol.

                      Mine is 2 years old now, which means the battery needs replaced, and it's been dropped a number of times. So sometime soon I need to pop the glass, replace the battery, and make sure all the connections are solid. It's been a trooper for sure.

                          Torque Pro - highly recommend.

                            Oh no the review list. The top 5 that was in the OP.

                                I have a note 4 right now and am curious what the Note 6 (or probably named 7) will feature for sure. Lots of leaks and rumors. Most likely will be my next phone.

                                            Maybe, not necessarily - if that's your only reason, then yes, sunk cost thinking, but the reason can be in the list of reasons to stay.
