Glad to hear you're doing okay

Good shit, man. Hopefully no more fuck UTIs. I've never had one, but I can only imagine they suck terribly.

I have been so lucky with that so far in my smartphone career. I rarely drop my phone, but my hackey sack skillz break up the momentum on the way down if I do.
Plus I always have a case. I am excited. Gets here Monday.

First Nexus 4, I went sans case and dropped it after 5 months on the corner of the sidewalk. I use a case and screen protector now, good ones. Second one I managed to not break, that one got passed off to my Mom who still uses it.
I did something similar to my first Nexus 5 (dropped it off a second story balcony in Mexico). Bought a new one ($350) and ended up fixing the screen. Passed one of them off to Kitty.
I don't think the 4's got Marshmallow, but I'm still getting Android updates on the 5. Being a flagship phone has it's advantages.
The thing I don't get is why was yours so much? Carrier markup?

Nexus Smexus!
This one works well (most of the time), I can carry it with one hand, It lasts all day on one battery. What's the biggie!

Not carrier markup, you can't buy it from a carrier.
It's Google's first foray into premiere flagship phones. It's meant to compete with the 6S+ in size and capabilities.
Its huge - 5.7" UHD AMOLED display. Full metal case, fingerprint scanner, badass camera with a laser focus, new USB type C charger with quick charge (7 hours of charge in 10 mins).
The Nexus 5X is the next iteration in their upper mid range line. The 6P is the boss bitch.

Standing outside watching a tractor trailer cause sheer confusion at the end of the road.
