That looks really nice actually, I've had horrible experiences with clear backed cases before but I may give that a go. Can anyone recommend a decent screen protector also?
Well the price drop was a blunder apparently

Bit odd as there was no mention of it being a sale either when the 32GB was £303 or now when it's at £399 and the price reduction was across four different lines. Maybe they just wanted to shift a bit of stock without upsetting other retailers, so they blamed it on a mistake !!
It should only say out for delivery if it's on the van due to be delivered that day, but yours said that yesterday didn't it ?
Mine is showing as back at the Milton Keynes depot with delivery rescheduled for Monday. could have had it delivered today but that would have cost an extra £12 !!
This is what mines been saying since 3am

All set up on my Nexus 6 and must say I'm impressed.
Coming from a Note 3 with all of the Samsung bloat (a lot which I disabled but still a lot left behind that you can't) stock Lollipop is just utterly butterly smooth and fast.
Too early to tell in terms of battery life but I'd say it's below the Note 3. Lasts a full day without any trouble. I did have Battery Saving mode permanently enabled on the Note 3, which prevented the CPU cores going above 1.5Ghz. If I could do the same on the Nexus 6, I'd probably see similar/better battery life.
Quite happy with the £300 outlay.

I was worried it'd be too big, but I'm actually enjoying this extra screen space over the n5. Speakers are really good, best I've had in any phone. Screen seems a bit too neon but otherwise good.
Just going to wait to see how the battery life is before I root..

That depends on what's important to you. Go Nexus for large screen, great speakers, prompt OS updates, pure Android. Go S6 for great camera, finger print reader, smaller size.
That is the only drawback that I have found so far although I think there are calibration options if you root. Currently using a black and white wallpaper to tone things down a bit !
The lack of double tap to wake as standard is annoying too although the ambient display seems to work well.
Great value at £303 !
I turned ambient display off when I first got the phone as I thought it was sucking too much juice. When I realised it wasn't the culprit I switched it back on and really really like the feature. Looks soo cool and really useful.

The ambient display is great, it's almost like a poor man's knock-on if you tap the side of the phone so it rocks a bit. Downside is it comes on if someone slaps a file on my desk too hard. 
I went back to stock as my prox sensor wasn't working properly on Chroma. All hardware tests resulted in a readout of 0, given that I spend a lot of time on the phone I really need the in-call number pad so had to revert. I originally thought the screen fix had gone bad so had a wee panic.
