Rumored to be a nexus phone. I'm more excited for this than the new maxx. It's like a Maxx version of the Maxx

Now you know that something cool like a big a$$ nexus won't be available on big red right? If it were, and BL unlockable, I wouldn't be opposed to having one!

I've had better.
There's still no timeline and it appears the X will be getting 4.4 weeks before the Droid family.
So we're supposed to celebrate because MotoGoogle hasn't declared two-month-old devices obsolete? Gee, expectations are really getting low around here.

Pretty much my thoughts too. I pretty much knew right when I saw the Nexus 5 that Moto X and droids would be about a month or so behind in the update cycle.
What I'm actually excited to see is if 4.4 actually gives Verizon phones the ability to use Google Wallet or whatever payment system/NFC trickery

I mean "real" Google Wallet with full tap and pay ability. the Wallet app is pretty useless to if I can't pay for anything with it.

The Google/Verizon plans for 2014 are probably LTE tablets. Maybe- just maybe- we'll see a Google phone that is VoLTE-only, but I find it hard to believe that Verizon and Google would willingly partner on that. It doesn't seem like Verizon's style.

That's what those of us with Photons on GB thought too. Motorola's story was they would get JB...right up until the day they said they never would.
I think they are referring to the NFC payment part of the app that Verizon has disabled for the Maxx

yupp. recently verizon has pushed updates pretty fast on droid device.
With the introduction of the Droid turbo I will have to reconsider my choice on the Nexus 6 also since there is another phone coming out for AT&T called the Moto X Play ( which is the full GSM version of the Droid turbo) it makes my wait even more prolonged.

DAT battery tho!!! 3900 MaH!!! Ahhh man. Also that display, all those beautiful pixels crammed into a smaller screen size must make for a ridiculously sharp display. Oh well, I'm personally happy with my future Nexus 6. I've always wanted a “phablet" to cure my tablet itch.
Capacitive buttons are a bit of a turn off & I wish the screen was at least 5.5"
Everything else looks great but not enough to pull me away from the Nexus 6
No brainer.... Nexus 6. All of that aosp flashing goodness and kernels galore.... I cannot wait!

The Nexus 5 has spoiled me. I like customizing my nav buttons
Still sticking with the Nexus 6. After having the note 2 it'll be nearly impossible for me to go to anything smaller in screen size. Other than the capacitive buttons it's a nice phone. I just prefer the larger screens.

2 different phones, one carrier exclusive, and not lte compatible on gsm networks. So...pointless comparison.

Sorry guys, this phone has great specs but enjoy the bloatware, delayed updates and the fact that you're stuck on Verizon if you choose the Droid Turbo.
I prefer the bigger screen on the Nexus.

Finally got my X replacement in and I see what you guys mean. The Bamboo back looks and feels awesome. Much better than the black leather I had to rock for 2 weeks.
Can't wait to unlock the boot loader tonight and start using Xposed again. Hopefully it ends up running faster than the old X with Gravity Box.

I don't care if there's already another one. Just making my mark now that I'm officially using the '14 X.
Gotta find a nice clear TPU case now.

LOL, truth is unless something truly game changing comes out of Android my next phone will be an iPhone, which is something I never thought I would say. I paused that thought when the Nexus 6 price dropped and bought one off of Amazon but couldn't bring myself to open the box and returned it. I figure if I truly hate the 6s I can easily sell it and recoup most of my money something I can't easily do with an Android phone.
i have a nexus 5x preordered. 32gb quarz color. i might miss the moto stuff but whatever, its about time i guess.
In hindsight if I had known, how much trouble the upgrade to lollipop would cause (all file permissions where messed up and fixing them was a pain in the ***), I wouldn't do it again. I already forgot, what noticeable improvements came with lollipop. Wasn't my phone a little smoother? Can't remember.
Bottom line: i don't care for any updates anymore.

Sad that such a great phone won't be getting the next update. I will probably stick with it for another six months before I upgrade to a newer Moto X or Nexus.

Oh good grief! Motorola hasn't come out and said that Marshmallow wouldn't be out for the XT1060 have they? I know it's not on the list right now but I wouldn't say that they broke their promise until we see something definite that Marshmallow will not come out for our phones.
If this is the biggest thing you all have to worry about, I guess you have it pretty good. Personally, I like the Lollipop on the XT1060 for the most part and am willing to stay with this phone until I find something else that I like better.

Lol that's the price we pay for having an Android phone.
If you think it's bad on Android, you'll laugh at how often the Windows phones get updated (never).
No, it was not that bad with my old nexus.
I have to admit one thing: my moto x 2014 is by far from a pure hardware point of view the best smartphone I ever had.
But from a pure software point of view I'm overly deceived. Moto has made a lot of publicity of themselves arguing they are the best at providing updates in a small timeframe, but they never respected their own claims.
If in future I have to choose between an OK smartphone with stellar software support and a stellar smartphone with no guarantee of software updates ( especially monthly security updates ) I will for sure choose the first one.
But yes, other than that Moto X Force looks good
