What colour options did you get? I'm thinking just the black front and regular black back but cant decide between dark grey, silver or blue trim. Which do you think will look best?

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

I think youre right.

I'm still haunted by the HTC Desire HD days when I flashed cyanogenmod ice cream sandwich and after a while the clock would stop until I flashed something else :laugh::laugh:
[X 2014 General] jmtjr278:
I got the white front/bamboo back/blue accents pure edition with 32gb storage space. Really great!
[X 2014 General] raze599:
Just made that on moto maker, very good choice. Decided to go for black front black back and blue accents. Quite understated yet has a little bit of flare in my opinion. It says in stock 3 Nov so that means they expect me to get it by 3 Nov or for them to send it?
[X 2014 General] jmtjr278:
Nice choices! Mine took 5 days from ordering to me picking it up at FedEx location. I am near Detroit so it shipped from Texas. If your closer maybe sooner.
[X 2014 General] raze599:
Im many thousands of miles away in the UK so it might take a bit longer lol

Haven't ordered it yet might do it in the morning. Do they accept PayPal or only cards?
[X 2014 General] jmtjr278:
Not sure about PayPal. Good luck and let us know how everything turns out. You will love it! I'm coming from a 4.7" nexus 4 and this screen seems huge. I'm sure I will get used to it. But with that size it is also beautiful. Amazing
[X 2014 General] raze599:
Thanks and will do. Still im concerned about the price, im still used to what i paid for my nexus 4 lol and this is much more expensive.
[X 2014 General] jmtjr278:
Dude I *****ed about the exact same thing. That $600 I spent seemed huge at the time. I kept thinking I would return it and buy a used nexus 5. That's not happening after using this phone for a bit.
[X 2014 General] raze599:
OK ordered the 32GB version. Although I chickened out at the last minute and got black/black/silver lmao

Estimated delivery November 3rd it says.
[X 2014 General] jmtjr278:
I know what you mean about chickening out. I built my phone several times and backed out at the purchase screen. I could have made a cheaper version but if I keep it 2 years I want to get the one I actually want.
[X 2014 General] raze599:
You know I'm thinking if after 2 years I will even want a Nexus. Motorola features are very useful and not very intrusive, not sure if I could really go back to stock.
[X 2014 General] jmtjr278:
If they keep making $700 phablets I have zero interest. 5.2" is about all my pockets can handle.
[X 2014 General] djwyman:
I am a nexus convert. I usually get every other nexus. When I heard the next nexus was going to be 6" I said hell no (and after seeing the price I am glad I did) and went with the moto x 2014. The only nexus feature I miss is the google dialer but other then that this feels very much like having a nexus aside from the moto apps.

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

I totally agree with this statement. I have grown tired of flashing Roms all the time and having to redo everything. At this point the only reason I would root my pure edition moto x is if I could get the google dialer to work (not the wonky work around I have been reading all over the place) but completely work.
[X 2014 General] smalltownbird:
I already have my plan in place. Now that Verizon is getting the Nexus 6 I will be selling my G3 and when the nexus arrives I will sell my wife's GS4, give her the X, and use the money from both sales to pay off my card. I'm a big guy and I like big phones and I enjoy all the development. So many phones remain locked now that it will be nice to be able to flash Roms again.
[X 2014 General] raze599:
This doesnt have the Google Dialer? What does it have instead?

I assumed it had all the regular Google apps lol
[X 2014 General] djwyman:
It has a dialer that is like the google dialer with out the local business search function and business caller ID. It has the aosp dialer essentially.
[X 2014 General] raze599:
Ah, I liked that. Gonna miss it lol
[X 2014 General] djwyman:
Yeah it was a feature I didn't realize the moto x didn't have until I went to use it and realized it was gone. I was so used to it on my nexus 4
[X 2014 General] raze599:
Hows the camera compared to the Nexus 4?
[X 2014 General] djwyman:
I haven't really been able to do any comparison shots as the screen of my n4 smashed 2 weeks before I bought my moto x
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
I have the Google Dialer working for me. All I did was put the apk in /system/priv-app (rename apk to something that isn't the same as Dialer.apk), use AppHider to hide the other dialer icon from the launcher. works fine for me. you need root

[X 2014 General] dbrowdy:
I'm very much in the same boat as you. I am looking to upgrade from my Nexus 4 right now; my wife lost hers so I'm giving her mine and buying a newer phone. I too saw the N6 and was sorely disappointed. Now I'm leaning towards the Moto X 2014 or the Experia Z3. I am leaning towards the Moto X simply because it's the closest to a Nexus experience and it's likely to get Lolipop much quicker than the Sony.

I came here to see what development was like and I'm intrigued to read that it's not super well-supported. While I too am over the whole flashing regularly thing, I do want the ability to add some stuff here and there. I'm actually REALLY interested in adding the PS4 Remote Play app. This is the only reason I was really considering the Z3 and knowing it's been ported is huge. Do you think there will be enough development support to at least get to the point where I can use that app on the Moto X? Man I hope so!
[X 2014 General] Faruko:
Im pretty sure it will stand right next to the Moto X 2013, not much development but enough to play around and have decent options

I recomend you to look at the Moto X 2013 development section so you get an idea how this device will go, take into account that the Moto X 2013 didnt have the best sales around and if this smartphone is a "hit" it will surely bring the attention of other developers !

I dont know about the Voice command and stuff in custom roms

I knew there was something missing! Thanks for reassuring me that I wasn't crazy.
[X 2014 General] Project:Frankenphone:
I am a Nexus phone fanboy. I have had every single one since the first one but I am sitting on the fence with the Nexus 6. I use a Nexus 4 at the moment (gifted N5 to my bro cause he really wanted it). The N6 is going to be just under 6 inches and will come with a AUD$750 price tag at current conversion rates. My N4 has the fat Ballistics Gel Series cover and that just fits into my pocket. Over the year that I used the N4, the only issue I have is that the camera has started to stop working, keep on getting a 'Failed to initialize camera' message. Other than Android 5.0 there isn't anything ground breaking on it. When it falls to the $500 mark then I may have a rethink our maybe by then, my phone will come out. Whatever comes first I think.
[X 2014 General] gotzaDroid:
I had a nexus 4, then a nexus 5 (and a crap G3) and I must say that this moto X feels as much "nexus" as the other two. Loving it, and with all the moto assist type stuff, this is how the nexus should be.
[X 2014 General] -A-P-M-:
I am Nexus user, but this year I will skip Nexus because N6 is too big. Im thinking to get Moto X, but Im questioning myself how much I will gain for this price difference. For example, if Moto X would have better battery and fingerprint scanner, then I wouldn't question myself if it is worth to buy it..
[X 2014 General] gotzaDroid:
I'll tell you what about battery life with this phone, I used the crap out of it yesterday, slept and then used it again before charging and I got 4.5 hours SOT. I'd get the same with my G3 and its a much larger battery.
[X 2014 General] _MetalHead_:
My decision was between the Nexus 6 and the Moto X and I just ordered a Pure Edition X :). Like many others, the N6 was just too big for me and the Pure Edition is every bit as good as a Nexus device in my opinion if not better because of the included Motorola apps. I have the original Moto X and the Nexus 5 and I actually prefer the experience with the Moto X, I'm sure I'll have the same feeling this time around. Knowing me though I'm sure I'll end up buying the Nexus 6 too, just have to wait a bit.
[X 2014 General] xandin:
I don't know if they already answered you, but... Moto X uses nano SIM.... =)

[X 2014 General] onthecouchagain:
How's the camera? Is it every bit as bad as reviews say or every bit as good as Moto X users are saying?
[X 2014 General] gotzaDroid:
Honestly, it's average. It's not as good as the camera was in my G3, but it's as good, if not slightly better than the N5 camera.
[X 2014 General] tebower:
I received my Moto X two days ago, and promptly flashed the stock image on my old N5 to pass down to my wife.

I have been pleasantly surprised with the light enhancements made to the Moto X, yet I am missing the ability to flash lots of custom ROM options at will. I am attempting to retrain myself to live with "stock" and I am sure that Android L will suffice for a lot of the functionality I am missing from custom software.

I could never live with a 6" phone. Google probably should have released a 5.2" Nexus and the Nexus 6 (a la iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus), but I am sure they avoided this kind of strategy since the Moto X already exists.

I definitely feel like I am holding a premium phone compared to the Nexus 5. I immediately felt like the Nexus 5 was underwhelming from a pure appearance and hardware quality perspective. The reviews that disparage the camera are wrong. And I have never been impressed with ANY of the photos that my iPhone toting friends have sent to me. So, I also think that the industry opinion of the iPhone camera being the best in the business is excessively overstated.
[X 2014 General] captmiddy:
Nexus 4 to Moto X 2014

I was also trying to get onto the every other Nexus band wagon. Bought the Nexus 4 right after release and was eager for this year's release. When they announced the Nexus 6 I started thinking about the Nexus 5 or something else and decided I would just go with the Moto X 2014. It seems close enough to a Nexus device and gets timely updates which is what drove me to Nexus to begin with. I can no longer flash custom ROMs anyway as my work software won't allow root to be active so I am pretty much done with that model.

I am now just waiting for them to ship my phone, target delivery 10/30 and I am getting impatient (doesn't help that the case will be here tomorrow).

By the way I only would go off the Nexus line because of Motorola's pattern of updating their phones, I am done with Samsung and HTC for phones, they are too slow and don't give enough information up front on their upgrade plans. (I have a Galaxy Note [first release] and an HTC Inspire laying in my dead devices pile). I did get a new Samsung tablet after my Nexus 10 decided to stop functioning because on the tablet side I am just not as into new features as I seem to be on the phone side.
[X 2014 General] EddyOS:
I'm seriously considering the X having seen the Nexus 6 specs and although it's hugely tempting, I've recently sold a OnePlus One for being too big so going bigger again is a bit silly! Problem is, I'm a phone addict. Since November 2012 I've had:

An HTC One X

A Samsung Galaxy Nexus

A Nexus 4

An HTC One

A Nexus 5

An HTC One M8

A OnePlus One

A Nexus 5

A OnePlus One

And I'm now using a iPhone 6 cause I thought I'd not be tempted by anything else as Apple release one phone a year. How wrong I was!! The Moto X looks nice, and I can get the colours made up to look like a Nexus 6 anyway (black front, white back, silver trim) using Moto Maker but I'm just not sure. Are there any shops in the UK with the X in store to look at?

Also, anyone tried using the Google camera and see if that works better?

Thanks, it was more for the actual use of the app. I've used the Moto G 2nd Gen and wasn't a fan of the camera interface personally
[X 2014 General] onthecouchagain:
Nice. Do you think you can post some comparison pics?

I've actually found my Nexus 5 camera (on HDR mode) quite impressive. The camera is probably the last thing holding me back on getting the Moto X, but if it's as good if not better than the Nexus 5, that'd be interesting to witness!

So what do you think? My opinion you get better detail on the moto x and better color representation from the nexus 5?
[X 2014 General] onthecouchagain:
Thanks again for posting. I think you're right. The darker areas of the Moto X worry me. Overall, I think the Nexus 5 looks better. For a 2014 phone, the Moto X camera is a little disappointing, I have to say. :T

I wonder if a software update is in the works...
[X 2014 General] ajbattaglia83:
Low light nexus 5 blows the moto x out of the water
[X 2014 General] Andariel636:
I think the nexus 5 is better also due the ois.

The moto x performance depend on software... I've got good image with the original app, somethink better with the google camera and other good image with "a better camera".

But not in the same situation, every app is superio on the other. Depend on the scene, light, sobject.

For exemple: the stock camera app is good in sunny days for close subject.

Google camera is better for panorama and fast actions.

A better camera for low light.

This is my opinion. I hope in a software update and a possibility to controll the camera in nokia style.
[X 2014 General] DigitalUnderground:
I'm a N5 owner and I just played with the Moto X 2014 at AT&T. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. It was the perfect size for my hands and was blazing fast. Think I'd rather keep my N5 only because it's not enough of an upgrade but boy it sure felt and looked great
[X 2014 General] BungleMX:
My nexus 5 stays with my wife, I'm getting the new moto X

a 6" nexus 6 it's a no go for me, maybe next year if the lower it down to 5.5 tops
[X 2014 General] DigitalUnderground:
This is my exact plan. Grabbing the moto x pure 32gb, give the wife my N5, she can give her 2013 moto x to her son who has a 2013 moto x with a cracked screen.
[X 2014 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
its funny this thread is here,I had my Nexus 6 and moto X 2014 come on the same day(monday 17th), I tried the nexus 6 for 20 mins and it went back into the box too big, I have had the G flex before and that fit my hands way better than the Nexus 6, but I keep the Moto X and sold the Nexus 6, I really liked the 5.0 on the Nexus 6, I`m just waiting for 5.0 for my pure edition:D
[X 2014 General] 66racer:
I was in this predicament when I was deciding on the moto x 3 weeks ago. Wait for the nexus or go moto x 2014 (came from a note 2 with cm11)? All I knew was that I wanted a stock android experience without bugs this time so my options were slim and I was not really in the mood for a bigger phone, actually the idea of a smaller phone was refreshing to me after loving the step up to the 5.5" note 2.

I have really loved the moto x and have not regretted it one bit but today I finally got to play with a nexus 6 and have to say I loved it and kinda wanted it.....then realized everything I loved about it was software lol. So really I just cant wait for the 5.0 OTA to drop. I miss playing with roms, that said being on stock android I dont feel i NEED a rom like I did on a skinned android os.

Really the nexus was not as big in appearance as I thought it might be, but its still a huge phone, just coming from a note its a smaller step than someone coming from a 4.7-5.2" phone. It seems the battery life wont be THAT much better than the moto x so I dont feel like Im missing out there but the camera (supposed same sensor?) is a bit different. I noticed in the same environment of a t-mobile store the moto x was on the warm side but proper exposure and the nexus was on the cool side but also a bit over exposed. Guess it comes down to preference but there are also camera apps to tune settings. OIS is nice but dont feel its a huge deal on a phone.

So I guess what I mean to say is a person trying to choose between the two has really only two things to consider. ROM support and form factor. If your a ROM addict then nexus might be your only option. If your not then it comes down to size preference. If your a rom addict but cant stand the size, give the moto x a shot anyways, its an impressive device. Cant really think of anything else that separates the two in a drastic way.
[X 2014 General] bleuiko:
Wow, off topic, but do you have picture? This is exactly the setup I am pondering. Front and back please?
[X 2014 General] Philio25:
I will be moving to the Moto X from the Nexus 5 as the Nexus 6 is ridiculous and almost as big as a tablet.

I actually already own the Moto X but I'm not using it yet. The reports about Motorola launching Android 5 were the deciding factor for me placing the order but when it arrived I soon discovered that a "Moto X Pure Edition" isn't a "Moto X Pure Edition" if you're outside the US.

I also feel that calling this a pure Android experience is somewhat misleading as it contains Motorola software/customisations with what I would consider to be core OS functionality.

If there was a decent alternative available, I may have returned it, however the device itself is superb so I'll just have to be patient and wait for the update. In the mean time I'll stick with the Nexus 5. As I work as an Android consultant and I'm currently working on a project that requires Lollipop functionality I don't really have much choice in the matter.
[X 2014 General] BungleMX:
please explain why?
[X 2014 General] Philio25:
To be fair the mistake was whatever blog I read it on not clarifying the situation. You also don't get any of this territorial BS with Nexus.
[X 2014 General] tebower:
The core of Android 5.0 OS is untouched on the Moto X. Motorola added applications that are actually useful but all of the stock functionality remains. All of the Moto-sourced additions can be disabled. You choose which you want to use (e.g. Google's voice search vs Moto X managed-search/Lollipop ambient display vs Moto Active Display). If you disable the Moto apps, it's exactly like a Nexus in every way.
[X 2014 General] Philio25:
That's good to hear, there are some noticeable differences in the Moto X's Kitkat.
[X 2014 General] Benny879:
So I've been on the fence about getting the Nexus 6 ever since it was announced for Verizon. Last week I got my N6 Spigen case from Amazon and have been using that as a reference to see how I like the size. After a few days I decided it's going to be way too big for what I need my phone for. I need one hand use to be comfortable so I made the decision to order a Moto X the other day. My black/bamboo X should be here next week and I have no regrets. Just need Lollipop to drop for the VZW version and I'll be happy as a clam.
[X 2014 General] :
My wife could have had my N5, or keep her (my old) 2013 X.... Nope. Never. She won't give up her X. Doesn't want any new phone. She says she's keeping it til it dies. Lol
[X 2014 General] wantowan2:
OK, I'm just passing through here but I will put my 2¢ in. I am willing to bet, and this IS based on something, that Google will make their entrance into the Hardware manufacturing industry with the brand new "Modular Concept" designed phone. Then stop all Nexus licensing.

2 years ago it was more like "4÷X+1=3" . Now granted, this a stretch. But the guys involved where pretty high ups there in the design part.

Long and the short men, women. It will be like lego.

-the size & shape you want in frame.

- probably based on the board, which was based on the CPU you need an from whom...

Now, the digitizers are going to be provide in micro size steps so sky is the limited there.

This parts cool. When I start snapping together MY new "Nexus LEGO" I'M putting Lica optics in mine. Or Canon.

I also , just now, have a line on micro rea buds that in the,,, 3 Drivers!!! ,,,, / side for the 3 ear buds you'd need.

Anyhoo, that little gem will be my first Google built device and my last ever.

When I refund the source for that tid bit. I will post back:cool:
[X 2014 General] Philio25:
I played around a bit with the Moto X this evening and actually ended up doing the SIM swap over from my Nexus 5 with Lollipop (I'll have to carry around both for development).

Some of my favourite features of Lollipop are already in the Moto X KitKat build, like trusted devices (phone stays unlocked when my Moto 360 or Beats Studio Wireless headphones are paired).

Actually the Moto X performance is much better than Nexus 5 Lollipop and most apps I'm using already have material theme, as do the a English and Pinyin Google keyboards so I barely notice the difference.

Hi!

I am from India. I've been wanting to buy the Note 3. Recently I came across this seller on eBay who is selling Note 3 phones for almost 25% less! He says that he imports the phones directly from Vietnam and so he can afford that discount. He also offered an additional 10% discount, if I don't purchase via eBay and deal directly with him. For that, I'll have to first deposit the money in his bank account and he would then order it from Vietnam, which would directly reach me in 4-5 days.

I'm unable to understand this whole process. Can it be true? Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone at 25% off?! Just because he's importing it from Vietnam.

He said that I'll get company warranty, the box will be seal packed, he'll replace or refund within 7 days and the phone is the Indian version. So I would get the updates also.

What should I do? It is a steal deal for sure. But is it trustworthy? Also, is the quality of phones manufactured in Vietnam as good as the Korean make? Please help!
