When I first heard Google was doing a Nexus 6 I thought it was a tablet to expand the market. But a phablet? At $650? It might bring in some good cash but it's not going to move the ecosystem market share needle...

I agree about the Nexus 6, too high of a price. What it and the new iPhones will do is create lots of imitators in the phablet space, and I expect to see many more 6" tablets from the white box tablet makers. Just a few months ago all the focus was on larger tabs, but I think Amazon and these phone makers are putting the spotlight on the 6" screen size.
