Well, just came on to see what everyone thought about it. It looks like a nice phone, but I've been happy with my iPhone 6. It has been problematic because I use it as a hotspot and if it's not an Apple product that is connected, then I have to switch to 3G; and of course VZW cannot talk and surf at the same time on 3G. Now I'm seeing that all the Turbo cannot talk and surf at the same making it a no brainer to keep my iPhone.
That is due to change very soon... don't know that would be cause to ditch the iphone 6 - probably more a preference issue. Two very different platforms.

Unless the phone includes a font changer like Samsung and LG I thought you had to root to change the full array of system fonts.

No I haven't - will have to look into that :)...

So the turbo was just an appetizer for the main course, its bigger brother that is free to go where ever (unlocked).

I hate to say it I am actually considering taking back my Turbo and getting a 6 Plus. I have been playing with one a few times at the VZW store and must say I am pretty impressed. Just dunno if I wanna give up the customizing ability that Android offers. But I really would like to have a better camera. My LG G2 spoiled me because it took such great pictures.

Not a bad phone you just would have to get use to the different ecosystem.

Yeah I know. I think I am at a point where I like to just set it and forget it. I love customizing. But I find it very time consuming and I am OCD to the point where if I don't like how one thing looks I have to change everything. Thinking maybe I will do a year or two with an iPhone and see what I think. If I hate it I will switch back. My gf and daughter both have a 5s and I have been playing with them. iOS 8 is way better than the last time I played with an iPhone. Not cast in stone and I am also considering the LG G3 since loved my G2 so much.

I do like the IPhone 6 +.. But IMO for a screen only 5.5 it's too big... I'd take a Note4 or LG3 over it...
