Still on my Nexus 6. Thought about maybe getting a 6P just for the 128GB storage, thats the ONLY thing I dont like about the 6, no removable storage.
I turned updates off and still havnt gone to Marshmallow yet, maybe in the next week or two? lol

???|[ROM]??? One+ VM13 Android 6.0.1Rom for the One ???[MMB29M] |??? - One Development - Team Nocturnal
It was initially built off of CM, but it's a lot different now. The coders are pretty good and I've followed these guys and used their stuff since before Lollipop.
I use slimgapps zero and boeffla's kernel to stop the random reboots. Updated a few times a week, but I only update when they input code that might make a different, some of the features I don't use as much. Pretty smooth, 5+hrs onscreen time.

Been on Google's Project Fi for the last 6-7 months. Just before the holidays, they sent out a small Lego set. You get to build a small phone stand. It was pretty cool, I modified mine a bit to also hold my wireless charging pad.
Well last night my roommate came home with this for me. Couple of used pistons that hold my Nexus 6 PERFECTLY! I even put the wireless pad behind the phone and fits like a glove. He also made one for his N6 as well.
Now on my desk at work ive got, pistons, turbo, and brembo 2 pot haha

I was in the same boat. But coming from a Samsung S4 where all the bloatware crap used 75% of my storage, i'm interested to see what a clean android installation looks like.
I'm not concerned about the 'best' camera, or showstopper screen. The camera will be excellent,and the screen will still look great. I just want better performance, less crap and the USB-C charging speeds.

Have you gotten your 6P yet? If so, thoughts?
Still using the Oneplus One. On VM13 Marshmellow, pretty good, but since it gave me random reboots I had to change kernels to boeffla and all is well. Just released their stable version of the ROM.
Had a chance to either get the Oneplus Two, but wasn't impressed with the price point for the upgrades even though it's a good bang for the buck. Stuck with the current phone.
Also didn't like the Oneplus X that although you get a cheaper phone had some good stuff built in, I figured nothing too major to switch from the current phone.
I would personally get a new Android phone like the Samsung or something and root and get rid of the bloat ware and install VM13. Been the goto for half a year now.

We only found aftermarket ones since the phone is relatively new, which means they aren't likely to be Gorilla Glass 3 like OEM. Just the glass; AMOLED seems fine. May have to break down and take it to a shop. $200 to get a new replacement phone from Verizon.
