Mine still hasn't shipped, I had hoped it might ship a bit earlier

Thought you were on a nexus 6 or are you a phone junkie like myself

Yep junkie.
Have both for work and personal.

 

[VortexA1]

Yeah...

Spoiler

I can't get enough of it

Boom tish. Nice one. . That's good then. I might get one this week

How is everybody finding the gps performance? I'm about to buy a op3 but just seen a thread on XDA about bad gps performance.

Took me to london and back last week, exactly what are people saying is bad about it?

Some people are complaining about the gps signal dropping out and others not being able to get a fix.

 

[Sp00n]

Can't say I've had a problem with it, I don't use it a huge amount but it's been fine for me.

Been fine for me, both in UK and in California last week, and is pretty quick to get a lock. Drops out pretty quickly if you go into a car park etc. but that's hardly surprising, and is not noticeably different to my previous phone (nexus 4).

I think it starts messing up after an hour apparently. It's good if you are outside, but it doesn't work well if you're inside a building (i.e. it's a bit bad for Pokemon Go ) I used it to get around in Malta (short journeys, 20 minutes) via Google Maps and it always worked perfectly.

 

[Sp00n]

Oh right, I don't tend to use GPS when I'm in a building so I wouldn't have noticed and to be fair I wouldn't expect it to work too well either.

Ordered on contract from O2 7 days ago and still no order appearing in MyO2 or any meaningful communications from them. Are stock levels really that bad?

generally all gps is poor without line of sight to the sky.

otherwise not had any bother with mine driving for several hours.

This is exactly what happened to me. I had to complain via Facebook to get a response.

I've been browsing ads for a used N6, bored of the Z5 and want to move back to a larger amoled display. How does the OP3 compare to the N6? S7 Edge is also an option.

Ah, I've just sent them a facebook message and awaiting a response

 

[Richy888]

Try them on their live chat. Quite helpful I found. Might be quicker.

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

The live chat is one of the worst parts of O2 customer service. They couldn't tell me anything.

When I mentioned it on the phone, the guy laughed and said that's pretty normal.

In what way mate what do you want to know. The oneplus 3 is definitely faster and feels nicer in the hand who has a better camera but the Nexus 6 also has a great screen and front facing speakers and being a Nexus it has timely updates.

The N6 was easy to hold for late night reading and speakers good for the odd video. I've read the OP3 is slippery and needs case. Is the drop if screen size noticeable, which do you turn to for web browsing?

Question I'm asking myself is, is it worth trying to find a good condition N6 or get an OP3 or S7E. Not fussed about camera, just good screen and easy to hold.

Edit: watched a couple of in depth reviews last night and it has to be the OP3. Liking the customisations, fast fingerprint sensor and speed.

I've got a 2nd OP3 sat in a shop, tried to cancel the order 3 times with O2 now
