considering switching to this, can't stand the 4S on iOS8 any longer/price gouging/bent phones/16GB base model for 6. unfortunately, its not releasing on FIDO & I won't ever switch back to Telus for any phone. If only motorola would sell unlocked in ca.
Got a tip for us?

The Moto X+1

At this price I'm seriously considering picking up one. I'd really like a Nexus 6 but for about $250 less and the ability to customize the design, hard to say no the what's very nearly a 'baby Nexus'.
What is the camera like on the Moto X 2014? I heard its not that great. But if you don't use it then it doesn't matter.
Its 13 MP. You would think it would be good but im more concerned that it only has a 2300 mAh battery.
Yeah, I've seen the same. I'm not looking to fully replace my 6+, else I probably might not take the plunge and would likely wait on a Nexus 6. This lower price makes it a viable alternate device (read: new shiny toy I get to play with
).The Moto X+1
Ahhh that seems small. But might not tell the whole story though. Anyone here have one?

I consider myself to be a moderate daily user so I think it's big enough to get me through a day fairly comfortably. My HTC One M7 had a smaller battery and was generally good enough.

Might I actually own a specific phone before Jamezr? Didn't think that would be possible!

Lol.....you had the 6+ before me. I just picked one up tonight.
I love the deign of the Moto X2.
I'd really like to buy this phone but clearly Motorola couldn't give a damn about the Australian market.
Also the pricing is insulting...$698 AUS for a 16GB phone!

Seriously, you picked up a 6+?
You are way past having a problem....
You have to be the undisputed gadget champ of the Alternatives forum. Nicely done.
I'm so tempted to get a leather backed Pure Edition of the Moto X but after using the 6+ for two months now, I'm hooked on the extra large phone and really would like to spend some serious time with a Nexus 6.

I traded my Nexus 6 32GB for a 6+ 128 GB. Good deal!
Straight up trade
Wow...somebody really wanted a Nexus 6. That's a ridiculously good deal, even if you just want to flip the 6+ for a tidy profit. I am curious to hear your impressions of the 6+ though. Oh, and if you plan on keeping it for a while and want a relatively low profile yet stylish case, I highly recommend the Apple leather case--feels awesome in hand (gets rid of the slippery nature of the curved metal frame), added little bulk and wears well. It is a little pricey though.
So far loving the 6+!! Funny how it seems so different than the 6 even. Going to test out the camera tomorrow!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Would really like to read your thoughts when you get it. Please post back and let us know what you think!

He isn't. I just don't post all the gear I have. I can use a different smartphone and tablet for each day of the week.
I have the (new) X. Love it. The design and construction is really top drawer - The camera on kitkat is not great but I've seen some from the lollipop version and they are a hell of a lot better. Looking forward to the update.
Battery is ok - could be better but I get a whole day out of it. I have two turbo chargers (one in the office and the other in the car )which I can use if I need a quick boost Usually get to the end of the day with 20%+ left. I'm a fairly heavy user.
Totally happy with it. Great size, great construction and close to stock android as you can get.
The photo below was taken by another x user (http://forums.androidcentral.com/mo...ken-your-second-generation-moto-x-here-6.html) with the update. I suspect as Google invest more in post processing s/w we will all see much better results from the stock camera app.

Just picked up the new Moto X with the football leather back. Never really was a fan of sub 5"-Android devices but this little thing isn't half bad.
Yes, updated to lollipop out the box.

Thought it was 5 but anyways, I always grouped the moto X in the same class with the GS5 and I'm more of a Note kinda guy.
