@pc747 Mine also seems to be better. Coming from T-Mobile here in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Note 5 is better than the Nexus 6, never tested the radios on the 6P. I did turn off the advanced calling features on the Note 5 though, I was seeing a drop here and there with it on.

Noted from my Note 5

Not sure if this is a result of the sim not fully provisioned or what but had 2 dropped calls.

Looks like my sim was not provisioned correctly.

Yes but there is a little more to this story. In the end loved the note 5.

"loved"... Does this mean you've moved on to the N6p?

839 is the cost out the door (not including insurance) for the Note 5. Since the note 2 ...actually even before that as I had the galaxy nexus before that, thunderbolt before that, droid 2, then droid, I have bought a phone every year. The nexus 6P would be a better option for me cost wise because of some things I am wanting to do around the holiday season and the differences between the note 5 and nexus 6P do not seem enough for me to spend an extra 300 for (538 out the door for 6P 64gb version). That is why I decided to take it back. Trust me I was torn the past few hours and part of me is kicking myself. But at the end of the day I am at peace with it.

I probably will be selling my Nexus 6 after I feel comfortable that the 6P is a keeper.

Played with the Note 5 again today. I dont know, yes the display is far better and the features impress me. But something about it ...I mean maybe I'm feeling the Nexus. With that said I am not so sure Im ready to snag the Nexus 6P considering I have a 6, especially with my kind of ready for a smaller device now. I plan on checking out the priv when it hits ATT. Be interesting to see if I end up bringing it home. Then again I need to just wait and let the hype die on itself and snag it for a steal by late December.

I failed to do that. SMH
