Fooled, ya! This is not a Wildstar post.

It’s been a long day. I’ve been having trouble with my Asus Padfone X almost since I first got it almost a year ago. I don’t want to go into detail here, but it came to the point where I felt I needed to replace it. Naturally, it was really busy at the cellular store, but after much discussion with Scooter, I picked up the Android Nexus 6 by Motorola.

A key feature of the Padfone was that the phone docked on the back of a tablet interface, which I thought would be an ideal device, giving me the benefits of both a phone and a tablet. However, I ended up hardly ever using the tablet interface, and the phone itself was smaller than my previous phone, a Samsung Galaxy S3. The Nexus 6 has a nice big 6-inch screen, just shy of being classified as an actual tablet.

As you may be aware, the Nexus line represents “pure” Android, unadulterated by manufacturer overlays. This could be a good thing, but it may also take some getting used to. I haven’t used it enough for this to be much of a review, but maybe I will post one before the end of the month.
