Does anyone have experience using it yet? It sounds like a great way to get away from the 4 major phone carriers and cut your phone bill down by a bunch.

Here's a decent review on the ins and outs of it.

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

Looks interesting. The phones seem lacking though. Not and LG or Huawei fan.

I'm pretty skeptical about it.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.

The nexus phones are good. I have the 5x and have several friends with the 6p. It's just too big for my liking. Honestly most phones are on par with each other these days. Little extra's here and there but for the most part pretty close IMO.

 

Can't speak for Fi itself as I don't know anyone on it. I'm grandfathered into Verizon unlimited data so until they take that away I've had no interest in looking elsewhere.

For me the hardware doesn't matter as much.  I'm probably one of the rare people that just uses my phone for basic stuff... like making and receiving phone calls/texts.  I sometimes might use my phone to take a photo, but it's certainly not so that I can post it to some social networking site.  I occasionally use the calculator app and a few others, but it's not "critical" to me.

 

I don't like how Google is trying to be like Apple or Microsoft and trying to lock people in to using their cloud storage solution.  I also don't like an operating system, whether it's on my computer or my phone making "suggestions" to me based on my use, location, web browsing history, emails, etc.

Do you not have a smartphone? If you do, why? I'm surprised you aren't using one for much more. 

 

How are you locked in to Google's  cloud storage?

 

I can understand people not liking the "suggestions". Personally, I find them incredibly useful and helps me stay organized during my hectic work weeks.
