They already have the info, rest assured. The control we still have some left, I think.

If you don't plan to use the Dream VR or tie the device to Amazon Home I don't see a reason to get it. And this is coming from someone that owned a Nexus One, Nexus S, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, skipped the Nexus 6 (overpriced and 5 was still great), and would have got a 6P if I didn't get a screaming deal on an S7 Edge first.
And seriously, still no wireless charging?
Both of these devices are in my opinion about $150-200 overpriced. I would have jumped ship to one of the Chinese manufacturers a while ago if they supported the proper LTE bands here in the states.
I think you may be better of with an Axon 7 or Oneplus 3.

To each their own. I have a wireless charging pad on my bedside and another one on the hall tree where I put my keys/wallet when home. I can just throw the phone down and it charges, I never need to fiddle with a cable or worry about damaging the connector in the phone. And it's easy to reach over and grab the phone/replace the phone with one hand while in bed.
And back when I worked a desk it was great because I didn't need to plug/unplug the phone all day long but still had full charge.

My N5 didn't have a removable battery (neither does my S7) and the former didn't have fast charge. Even though my current phone does, I don't plan to use it as it does reduce battery life. Maybe not by a lot, but I plan to keep my phone for at least two years so I am not taking any chances.

My battery isn't removable either. I'm at two years now with the Droid turbo, battery seems fine, and fast charging is maybe =90% of how I charge it. My concern with the wireless charging is the heat it generates and it's potential for long term damage. wifes has the 32gb version, same experience
My One Plus 1 is starting to have issues .... If I can get through until tax time, heard a rumor about the OP 4

Heat is also my concern, which is why I don't fast charge. My experience has been that wireless charging (not wireless fast charging, which is also a thing) doesn't heat up the phone or the battery even as much as normal slow charging.
