For what it's worth, I'm a normal size guy (5'11") and found the 6+ too big to use one handed. The normal 6 is about the upper limit of phone size, for me.

When I went to the store I personally thought the 6+ was stupidly large. Like uncesccasily large. I thought the just normal 6 has a more reasonable form factor.
In terms of fitting in your pants. I didn't try. It probably could fit in my pants but it would be pretty tight and would probably restrict some thigh movement. My S6 is about as large a phone as I'd like in my front pocket.

I have a 6+, fits into the pockets of all of my pants just fine. The one thing I didn't think about when I got it was that I use my phone at the gym and it is a bit too large for that. I would say my hands are average or maybe a bit smaller than average and the screen size is great. You won't be able to do much of anything with one hand though.
Would be very interested in a normal-sized 5" inch screen smartphone from OnePlus. The OPO was just motherfucking huge and not for me.

Google MVNO plans being announced today. If they really offer seamless switching between TMO, Sprint, and WiFi calling I'm in. I wonder if it requires a Google Voice number.

Yup I installed it when it came out. Definitely liking it though I do miss some of the extra options you get with CM but I am not a power user and I thought those CM skins were kinda useless. Everything seems to run a bit smoother and faster now, shit used to lag more on CM. Everything else seems the same to me. Camera and battery life remain the same, didn't noticer anything new there. Camera sound is fucking loud so i rooted it and installed a no sound app to kill that shit.
Didn't CM12 come out already? Curious if anyone upgraded OTA.

They're holding back the CM12 update for a few days to add "OK OnePlus" voice commands to it, even when the screen is off.

Yea same, sounds like better coverage for about the same rate as my Framily plan for the same data (that I only hit while doing the two week "vacation" planning the move) - with a refund for the data I don't use - and of course better voice coverage if it really does use both networks.
Be interesting once it expands to other phones.

Random Verizon jimmy rustle - my home ISP was down all week so we lived off hotspots and mobile data- needless to say this skytrocketed our use to nearing the 10gb a month. 1st - it seems my wife's iPhone uses TONs more data doing the same crap as my blackberry- Netflix, internet etc. plus I used my blackberry to hotspot many many times and she still used more data than me.
2nd and primary jimmy rustle - "You are approaching your data limit, press here to add 2GB a month to your plan for 30$...or pay overage fees of 15$ per GB" WTF? lol
anywho...anyone else notice iphones like dataz?

iPhone has applications constantly running in the background. Turn the shit off.
In regards to Google Fi, at least they give you the money back (in the form of credit) for data you don't use. I have 4GB on my phone with Verizon only because I have gone near that cap once or twice. I'd love credit. :|

Whichever phone is tethered while watching Netflix is going to be the primary driver for your data usage. It sounds like you're mostly tethering on the iPhone. Background applications aren't going to get you to 10 GB data usage

she just watched on her phone, I used mine as the hotspot for watching on our PS3's etc. and laptop internet stuff. she is always higher data use than I am, even when she is on Wifi at home just as much as I am- and she does not watch Netflix at work... facebook cant be THAT much data!
Facebook isn't that much data, but autoplaying videos and the like can add up, I guess.
If you're curious, go to Settings => Cellular and you can see a breakdown of data usage by app. Unfortunately it's just cumulative, so you'll have to manually reset the statistics to get an idea of which apps are hogging bandwidth.
