The 64gb gives you peace of mind with not having to worry about space but I wonder if the extra $100 is worth it. I could probably shave off 5-10 gb easily by getting rid of apps that I never use and deleting pics that I have backed up to cloud & SD card. It was a tough decision between 32gb or spend $100 for 64. I looked at the total amount of storage (internal & external) I used on my Note3. It was close enough to 32gb that I felt safer with a 64. But that included every pic/video I ever took, about 20 backups to MyBackup (which each one takes lots of storage and I only needed one) and over 150 apps. And I barely touched cloud storage with my N3.

Right now I only use cloud storage for backing up my pics and about 7 apps' data (just to make sure I have important backups if my phone needs a sudden fdr). I also use a dual usb/micro USB flash drive to do periodic backups. But even though I'm using the cloud & flash drive more, I'm not deleting it from my phone. If I had the 32 gb, I would be deleting much more.

Not sure if this info helps with your decision or not. It is hard to predict how much space you might end up wishing you had. I think I probably could have done okay with having 32gb with little effort though.

Tomorrow is the big day. It will determine if this is a true keeper. Will it be able to hold a signal in a church basement. My nexus 6 struggles when it is idle but once it is in use it holds on to a sliver of lte.

Ewww, the ultimate test. My N4 did great until lollipop. I swore that update ruined my signal. But my N5 is not much better so now I wonder if it's the towers in my area. I'll keep my fingers crossed for superior signal strength for you.

so far it has been good but I been above ground. I have yet to put it to the test in a place where the signal strength was weak.

Mine actually seems to be a bit better than my Note 4 was as far as "bars", but I never really played attention to decibels, which tells you more.

Mine has been great, just as good if not better than my previous two devices. I'm comparing to the 2013 Moto X and the LG G2. Both of those had good signals as well.
