Anyone have the Droid turbo 2?

[Oyeve]

I'm very interested in this phone and can upgrade to it via work account. I personally use a Note 4 but I flip-flop on my work phone, going anywhere from a Z3v, iphone 6 and iphone 5s. All are boring. So, anyone have this thing yet?

have a bunch, its big, feels large in hand, its width will take getting used to for those that get it, not the best hand feel. back is nice, its not glass, its plastic and well it feels like plastic when you put your finger on the screen

Hmm, Just saw, I can get the LG-v10. Damn! Decisions!

Moto always makes the best phones, I liked the droid turbo better than my s6. It has the best battery life of any phone and the shattershield means it should have the best durability out of the box of any phone. I'd love to get one but not going to verizon for it.

Stopped at the Verizon store on my lunch break to check it out. Seems about the same size in my hand as my LG G4 with urethane case. I really like any of the back cover materials, the nylon and rubber seem the most durable over the leather.

I ordered one for the wife off the Verizon website, it's $199 ($239 with $40 upgrade fee) with 2 year contract. Verizon being the best choice for my area and my employer helping with a 22% discount I really have no other choice if I want good signal.

My only reservation is the lack of OIS. The wife uses her phone camera a lot, we'll see how it goes. She also drops her phone, and uses it for her business so battery life is important. The phone seems perfect really except for the lack of OIS, and the Verizon bloatware, but we'll take care of that. I do like the uSD card option, and spec-wise it's plenty fast for what she'll be using it for.

Went with the LG-V10, mostly for the cameras and the removable battery, the MSD slot, the IR blaster. You know, all the things samsung took out this year. So, loving the phone.

You'll get some blurry pics here and there but it's not bad. Just be sure to tap the screen first so it auto-focuses.

I counted at least 23 bloatware that I found were immediately in need of a disabling or uninstall. Twenty-three. At one point, the DROID brand stood for pure Android, power, and being better than the competition. When you boot up a DROID today, it feels like it’s nothing but a greasy advertisement for all of Verizon’s shit services.

I spent about 90 minutes activating and setting it up for the wife. I actually find the Moto app to be useful, especially the motions.

It has some limitations I'm not used to, only 2 home screens, no screen looping, no restart option really? Also the keyboard doesn't display the numbers on top, little things like that. The camera images I took side by side with my LG G4, especially in low light, look worse.

I think she'll end up keeping it, she already dropped it once, and it appears to be unscathed.
