[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=4551511]Vlasp[/MENTION] Well, I already have a plan with Verizon that seems to fit my needs. I do like unlimited voice and text and that seems pretty standard across the board. As for data, in a recent post I did examine the needs for it and streaming video really tops every other thing you can do. Since I can watch streaming video on home PC or on WiFi, it is not worth paying for. One hour of HD video will consume my entire months data quota of 3 Gb. 4 hours of standard video will do the same. So for me, I can do without it.

I don't know a lot about Nexis phones so I cannot help you there. I got together with [MENTION=6309629]dtiger1138[/MENTION] and he is the one who brought me up to speed on the Moto-X Pure Edition. I really liked what I saw. The CPU and RAM are more than enough for a couple of years, you get an external sdcard, you can get it with more internal memory, I took the 32 Gb internal card for an additional $50, and I get the big 5.7" screen that I like. Now when I went to Verizon about this phone, all they had was this "2nd Generation" garbage. The sdcard is gone, the screen is cut by ½ an inch, and this is not going to work for me. I needed the Pure Edition and Amazon had a great price, brand new $400 and with 32 Gb internal sdcard, $450. And, it is a Motorola phone. I was sold on this very fine phone at a great price instead of the full retail cost of $699. Plus the unlocked bootloader, is rootable, and can install TWRP. All of which comes in one, easy to use toolkit. I also thought there would be plenty of new roms for this phone on Lollipop like CM12 but there are none. The stock rom is probably the best rom you can use on the Moto-X Pure. The stock rom on Lollipop is not very tolerant of modifications by Xposed. Read caution notice below.

Note of Caution:

It seems that Xposed on Lollipop is still a work in progress and is very much an alpha software project. Also the stock Motorola rom is good, but is not very flexible with Xposed modifications like the CM11 rom was. I made a very big mistake by installing Xposed before making a backup of the stock rom. Xposed on Lollipop is new, you flash a zip file, then install a special installer to get it. Once installed, removing it is nearly impossible so restoring a backup is your best bet. I do not have that option. Some Xposed modules work just fine and cause no apparent problems like APM+, Android Theme Engine, Greenify, etc. Some cause BIG problems like Gravity Box. I used GB to add another row and column of desktop icons and blew out my systemui at reboot. Screen blinks on and off every second. I unchecked Gravity Box as an active module, but who likes to boot a brand new phone to the desktop and see "systemui has stopped working". Great. :(

So, word to the wise here, Make a TWRP backup on any new phone of the newly rooted system, before you install anything else, especially installing

Xposed Framework

!

Good luck on your new phone, Vlasp. I think the Moto-X Pure is an excellent representation of what people like us would want. Plenty of memory, external sdcard, big screen, unlocked bootloader, easy to root. Let's see what you decide. :cowboy:
