Amen to that. I'm sick of mega corps jacking my data and forcing downgrades on me. I paid $750 for my Note 4 to someone (via crappy contract). But what option do I have? Verizon is the only one with coverage for the traveling man.Mr Perfect - Monday, August 17, 2015 - link
The name is fine, but I AM disappointed that the mascot isn't a Stay-Puffed Marshmallow Man style Android.Refuge - Monday, August 17, 2015 - link

I wonder what the equivalent joke is going to be with the upcoming all-female remake...fteoath64 - Tuesday, August 18, 2015 - link
Yeah, images of the Michilin man. A life sized one holding the green Android would be a great fit. I think.LauRoman - Monday, August 17, 2015 - link

So is there a particular event or date we should be looking to for the leaked 2015 Nexus 5 update to come out?
