    I usually use both thumbs to type on the keyboard. The 6 is the same size as my 5 with a mophie case on it. And the 6+ is about a checkbook cover. I think the 6+ also has some different features than the 6 other than higher resolution. larger battery, longer talk time..probably because its bigger ha ha.

    Sounds like the 6+ is a true phablet. The fact that it doesn't fit well in your hand is a dealbreaker for me so I'll be going with the 6.

    Got my 6 in silver. Phone and screen look great. Feels a little more substantial than the 5 while still being thinner and sleeker. While thing looks very clean. I have tried a few games and such and the performance is of course great.

    Some if the new features like the keyboards still need ironing out. Apps have already started updating for the new screens.

    SUMMARY
    The iPhone 6 Plus is difficult to use one-handed, not to mention more uncomfortable than similar-sized phones. In exchange, though, you get more of an iPad-like user experience on a much smaller device. It also has better battery life than the smaller iPhone 6, as well as a better camera. Keep that in mind as you're deciding between the two devices.

    I purchased a mini backpack on Ebay to carry my 6+. Not sure what is going to arrive first.

    The bezels are too large to carry in pocket.

    The only differences are the following.

    Bigger Screen
    Larger Battery = More Life
    Image Stabilization on the Camera
    Higher Resolution and Contrast Ratio

    Everything else is exactly the same including the graphics and main processors.

    Got the 6 today. After messing around with it for a while, I'm happy with the decision. It's a nice upgrade in screen size over the 5 and doesn't feel awkward to hold, put in pocket, or type with one hand. Feels pretty fast so far, but new computers always do. Keyboard will take some getting used to. Period key is in a new spot.

    Best part: no brightside backpack required.

    Mine came around 3. I got the gold one and I like it. I'm not a tech junkie though, so I am fairly easy to please. I went with the 6 because I have small hands and need my phone to fit in my pocket. I held it next to my wife's 5 and it isn't that much bigger. Slimmer though.

    I'm satisfied so far.

    It honestly fits great in my hand - one or two handed, again, it's awesome.
