Dammit, it looks even more appealing in the video...

I wish they'd release two size versions, like Apple did with the iPhone 6.

Not quite the same specs, though.
True. But personally, I think it's a good thing. We need differentiation with these different model sizes. While people wanted a brand new Nexus 5, what is ignored is that a refresh would have pushed the cost up, for marginal gain.

Nothing marginal about having the latest hardware possible. A 5.2" device with the same specs as the Nexus6 would have been salaciously desirable for me.

Nexus 6 is the best phone to be bestowed upon humanity.

4 years ago yes, I believe that brand is now called Microsoft?

Had a Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 - awesome phones. Pity they are too expensive and big now but I am happy with my Ascend P6 and its iOS-ish UI.

At what cost, though? The Nexus 5 is still the same price as it was last year, and is no slouch. Would you have paid the premium price Google are now selling their devices at?

2nd gen Moto X is a bit over 7K, so expect the Nexus 6 to be 8 - 8.5 K
Was mentioned earlier that Orange had pre-orders for R8150....had

It should have gone down in price, and a new ~5" model should have taken its place. That's Apple's cadence, and everyone else's. But Nexus devices have absolutely no consistency, which is part of what keeps them so marginal.
I wouldn't say the Nexus 6 is premium priced; it's premium specced, whereas the N5 was cut on spec compared to the G2. Nexus 6 is in the same hardware league as the 6+ and it's $400 cheaper.

And the next picture frame will be NONOKIA as Microsoft decides to retire the brand...
