I was planning on getting a Nexus phone this year and finally replacing my dated Samsung Galaxy S III. Would be dropping Verizon and my grandfathered unlimited plan to go to Straight Talk, but since I use very little data any more anyway, it wasn't a big deal.

However, I do not want a 5.9" screen. That's just too big for me. 5.2" would be perfect, and I hope they do come out with a version in that screen size.

If they only release the larger size, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. The Sony Xperia Z3 looks pretty good, but with Sony going with a 6 month cycle on their flagship phones, I'm afraid that I'll always have buyer's remorse if I go with them.

Guess I'll just keep my finger's crossed that Google doesn't doesn't lose their mind and release a phablet as their only phone this year.

I'm probably going to pick this up. I'm not crazy about the design of the phone. It's kind of ugly, especially the renders created by Droid-Life that were posted today. But I've been using the Galaxy Nexus since December 2011 and I am overdue for a new phone. I will be ditching Verizon for T-Mobile and buying off contract is preferable with how TMo handles that now.

Haha I'm still on my Galaxy Nexus. It's been running like a champ but the last month or so its been lagging and slowing down like crazy. Its finally showing its age. This will definitely be an upgrade beyond belief. I've been skipping so many phones until finally the Nexus 6. With the rumored specs, this is the phone I've been waiting for. 5.9 is perfect for me.

The latest news confirming a 5.9" display is wonderful, just the right size for me. I also like that Motorola is the mfg and from the few pictures I saw it looks sleek and plain which is just great. Now it's just a matter of waiting for it to be released. :)

Should be released sometime this month.....so real soon. I have my money saved up. I'm just wondering how much this phone will cost.

Being very short on time I forgot to copy the links but I've read several reports on the Web in the last 24hrs, that state the Nexus 6 is indeed 6.3", 3200 batt, based on MOTO X and just another in a long line of Nexus phones as that brand is not being terminated.

Good news all around... Oh and they may release 2 models a 5.2 and the 5.9.
