The Priv looks cool and it definitely caught my eye but I'd rather a vertical keyboard, which I know is not really Blackberry's MO. The slider looked great though. I hope it helps Blackberry turn things around because we really need a vendor that is willing to build physical keyboards. They're such a cool feature, even if not for everyone.

I went from a BlackBerry Bold 9000 to an iPhone 4, then 5, then 6 Plus, now 6s Plus. This year's iPhone has been my favorite as far as features and how fast it is. That being said, this is also the first year where I looked at the Galaxy S6 and the Note 5 and thought "Those are nice phones, if I had to use one of them I wouldn't be mad." I've had a MacBook since 2008 and the way the iPhone syncs with it for Messages, Safari and everything else, I don't think I could ever switch. I could maybe pick up a secondary phone but the iPhone will always be my primary. The iOS/OSX updates are also fantastic since they come straight from Apple whereas the Android updates are managed by carriers/vendors.

I also use both platforms but l use android more. Have MBP and ipad air 2. Recently sold my iphone 6+ and ordered a SIM free 6S+ which comes tomorrow!

Also just sold my Nexus 6 and trying to get Nexus 6P to hold me for another year!

Looking forward to trying out 3D touch, more RAM and wifi calling/texting on att.

I recently tried to go the 2 phone route. I bought a Note 5 and really liked it. However, I decided to return it on the 14th day. I realized that maybe I didn't need two phones. As nice I as I thought the Note 5 was/is, I realized that it's just the overall fit and finish of iOS that would always draw me back to my iPhone 6s Plus.

After really looking at the entire picture I don't miss my Note 5 at all. Great features and great overall phone but I wouldn't use half of them. I can't stand the bloat on those phones even though you can disable them. I hate having Carriers involved with the software. Getting new updates is what I like. The Note 5 probably wouldn't get Android 6 for 6-8 months which is ridiculous. If I ever decided to try Android again it would be a Nexus. Even though Touchwiz got better it is still all cluttered.

The 6S Plus has just been amazing for me. I don't miss the Note 5 one bit even though I praised it so much when I got it. That wore off pretty quick.

I was thinking maybe one would serve as a work phone and the other for personal and entertainment values. Even though my 6s Plus is perfectly capable of handling it all. I wake up every morning and appreciate it's beauty and power even more than the day before.
