Need a new phone

[Turbo3000]

Definitely. I haven't seen any problems around town yet. 4 bars or higher everywhere and LTE. I'm going to keep it for a bit, least for a week or so before doing anything. If you decide that Fi is not for you, if you cancel within 15 days you can return the phone and get a refund, or keep the phone. Choice is yours. I think I'll just end up keeping the phone. Even though I was tempted by the Moto X pure, I don't want to pay an extra 100 bucks for it. And that phone is even bigger. The 5X is already at the upper end of size for me.

Plus, having gotten used to the fingerprint sensor, I don't think I can go back to a phone without one. It's that good.

Yep. Fingerprint sensor is great in a phone. I know it is easy to spoof, but much better and seamless vs a passcode. Love it on my iPhone.

Yea I can understand that with the family plan thing. But if it was just you, you'd keep fi correct?

OK, here are my thoughts so far.

Service is good, no problems at all. That being said, I'm not sure it is for me.

I think the service is great for someone who has just one line and doesn't use too much CELLULAR data. I think you will without question save money.

For families with multiple lines, chances are that you won't save much if anything using Fi. Here's what happened yesterday. I got a letter recently from AT&T that they are raising the prices on my grandfathered unlimited data plan. So, I went into the AT&T store and I convinced them to allow me to drop one line and move the other 2 lines to a mobile share plan that shares 15GB. I get a pretty hefty 26% discount on the plan cost through work, so with 2 lines (my wife and son), it comes out to $104+taxes. Every additional line only costs $15, so if I were to move my Fi number back to the same shared plan, I will only add an other $15, which is less than the lowest Fi monthly rate. And 15GB should be plenty for us - we rarely go over 5-6GB even with heavy usage.

So, at the end of the month, I think I'm going to port out of Fi. At least, thats what I am thinking. Whew, that took a whole two days to decide lol...

Nexus 5 original is at 5% by 5pm with normal use. if I unplug it at 8am. Terrible.

[Scrumhalf]

At least as good if not better than my Moto X. I used it all day and didn't have to plug it back in until late evening when it was down to about 20%. Don't expect any problems lasting throughout the day.

The fingerprint reader kicks ass. Fast as hell. Don't know how I survived without it, punching in a code every time.

ATT is doing it now again too if you are also a direct TV customer however tethering is not included. Personally I get more use with tethering than the extra data.

Unlimited? Does any carrier offer that anymore? I know t mobile is enticing users by letting them stream some music and video services without counting it as data usage.

Yea I have it with Sprint. But I don't use it and it's double the cost of Fi so fuck it.

[Turbo3000]

Fi works perfect I think for people like me and you scrum. But I can see this being a headache for parents who pay a kids bill with FI. No unlimited data means huge bills for heavy data users who aren't connected to wifi most of the time.
