My Moto X is on the way! Upgraded from a Galaxy Nexus, just had to wait (seemingly forever) for Moto Maker to come to VWZ (mostly for the 32 gb option, not so much the customization).
Same here! I finally pulled the trigger because 1. Kit Kat was announced for the X, 2. My Galaxy Nexus doesn't charge via USB anymore.

Hey guys, here's my situation. I'm buying a Nexus smartphone for development. This will not be my daily driver, my Verizon Galaxy S4 is used for that purpose. My two choices for Nexus phones are the Verizon Galaxy Nexus or Unlocked Nexus 4. I can get the Verizon Galaxy Nexus from a buddy for $160 or an Unlocked Nexus 4 for $299 through Google Play. I don't know what device to get and I need opinions.
Advantages for Unlocked Nexus 4:
Unlocked
Newer hardware
Better Design
Disadvantages fo4 Unlocked Nexus 4:
Higher Price than Unlocked Galaxy Nexus
Cannot throw in my Verizon SIM Card from my S4 to use in case I want to switch between it and the Nexus 4. ( I can however, do this with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus).
Advantages for Verizon Galaxy Nexus:
Cheaper
Able to use with my Verizon SIM Card
Removable battery
More storage
Disadvantage for Verizon Galaxy Nexus:
Older hardware
Not "brand new" (The Unlocked Nexus 4 will be)
So, what do you guys think?
Unlocked Nexus 4 or Verizon Galaxy Nexus?
Comment and tell me what you think! :thumbup:

I would prefer a new Nexus 4 rather than a second hand Galaxy Nexus.
Is this a serious question?

... Development you say? Of course... get the older Nexus.. because.. you know... the older the fruit the more ripe it is.. unless its an apple... they turn rotten fast.
/sarcasm
how long are you using the nexus for dev?, i would get the second hand one due to cost and removable backplate so you can get a new battery after so many years,if its only for dev you dont need a new phone.
Hey Guys.
I recently traded in my Galaxy Note II, which I had been using for the better part of a year, and bought a Moto G. The main reason for this was that I was low on funds, and I knew I would be able to get some extra cash from the trade. And I had also grown tired with the excessively large screen which had been the reason I purchased it in the first place.
On my Note I had been using had stock Android 4.4, so the transition hasn't been too bad.
Anyway, I typed up a quick review of the Moto G, and my experience of using it after a year of using the Note II on my website (link below).
Would love it if you guys could give it a read, and I'd be happy to answer any questions people have if they're planning on downgrading to the Moto G like I have.

i am note 2 user as well. bought moto g to replace my dying motorola defy mini. all i can say, moto g are such an awesome device.
I sold my S4 I9505 and bought the Moto G. And for my surprise, Moto G is best than S4!!!!
I sold my Note 3 to get a Moto G just for the extra $300. Haven't regretted it since. The Moto G for the price is a fantastic phone.

How you are using stock 4.4 on note 2 lol
4.4 kit kat have not been released for note 2 yet
I also own note 2 but i guess i will keep it at the moment because of big screen and better battery life
what if i told you, your not really downgrading, but upgrading?

It was a ROM
Im currently on Sprint with a Note 2 and will be switching to Tmobile so cut my monthly bill in half. Im still trying to decide between the Moto X and G, I know the G doesnt have LTE but Tmobile hspa seems to be plenty good considering the crappy 3g or even 4g that Sprint advertises.
I was leaning towards the Moto X sale but the more I think about it I might just go Moto G (I tend to play with my phone less anyways) and just stick with the Nexus 7 for work/home video youtube watching which is when I prefer to use the bigger screen.
I bought my 16GB Moto G because I need a dual SIM phone for work.
Compared to my Nexus 4 the only real noticible difference is the size, the Moto G still being o JB and a warmer titn to the display.
The biggest drawback for me at the moment is that its still on JB, when I first got KK on my N4 I noticed what felt like a few small differences and got jused to it fast. But now going from KK to JB I feel like I have stepped back into the stone age... at least KK will be rolled out eventually though so its not all doom and gloom.
Performance wise for my use and gaming (Real Racing 3 and Deer Hunter 2014) its just as capable as my N4 and that's nothing to sneeze at.
My N4 has been retired to my backup phone for now but they are both great phones in my opinion.
Hi guys this is just a little bit of fun and to just gather what everyone's thoughts where when they got their moto g?
Here's mine..
1st Moto G ( Partners )
Wouldn't switch on straight out of the box
Second (Partners Replacement)
Worked fine
Third (mine)
Unlocked Bootloader
Rooted using modaco thread
Then put Exposed onto it

I bought the Boost Mobile Moto G at Target for $60. I unlocked the boot loader, flashed the Verizon 4.4.2 ROM and modified it to work on Page Plus. It's activated and working great. Last night I did the OTA update to 4.4.4. Plan to give it to my mother. Nice little phone.

Here in India they released via Flipkart. G was released before X here. And so I had to sell my G as I've always dreamed of getting a X Woodback..

Just sold my 3 week old LG G3 on ebay before I threw it against the wall. With the proceeds I bought a new to the market tablet which is an Acer Iconia Tab 8 (Beautiful full HD, 2gb ram, very speedy Intel Atom quadcore processor :laugh, a lovely bottle of single malt...oh...and a Moto G 16gb and I still have some change in my pocket.
For such a big downgrade (on paper) I have to say that I am very impressed with it. I haven't rooted it as I like to use Skygo but I have installed the HTC blinkfeed launcher and It looks and performs very nicely (as long as I have my glasses on )
Let's draw some attention in the developer community to our Note 4. Let's see "Who Owns What Version of the Note 4"
I currently own a retail version of the Note 4.
I currently own a Developer Edition of the Note 4.
I am currently awaiting a back order of the Developer Edition Note 4.
I am contemplating ordering a Developer Edition Note 4 as soon as they are in stock.

Hey all,
I have been a moto x user since it's inception. I have seriously loved the minimal bloat and the moto assist ks amazing.
My battery in my 2nd gen moto is shot and I need to upgrade. I have always purchased my phone through Verizon @ the $200 price tag. My question is: is the new moto x worth the $400 price tag? I have looked into the S6 as a plan B. However is the bloated software from Samsung going to drive me crazy since I am used to the mostly stock UI on the moto x?

Wrong forum. This is for the X Play, not the Pure
IF u want good battery, go for the Play. It's awesome!

I switched from my S6 to the X Play (which is 'less' than the X Pure) and I`m loving every bit of it. The bloatware in the S6 + touchwiz is maddening. I also have more free memory on this device, than on the S6, which actually has 1GB more in total
