The software and hardware better be optimized like hell...like at better than iOS device level...
Nexus 7 and 4.3 on July 24th, then Moto X even on August 1st.
Should be a one-two knockout punch if Google doesn't disappoint.

Motorola has been know for large batteries. However, Google has become known for the exact opposite in their Nexus phones. Maybe Google had a little too much influence
Also it says that the 1500 mAh battery cannot be confirmed and that that number was only reported by some software running on the phone. So could it be that the phone was not fully charged, making the software think it was only a 1500 mAh battery?

Does anyone really believe that? That Motorola would put that low battery in a phone in 2013?
There was a rumor that the phone has 48 hour worry-free battery life, so it's more kind of a Maxx battery capacity.
I'm very happy with the excitement Google and Samsung are creating, especially in lieu of the rather disappointing year Apples had so far. In fact there's so many promising new products scheduled to be released from the Android camp I'm going to be kept busy buying and evaluating several new Android devices.
If not there will be a lot if facepalm and epic fail pictures come August 1st

Not sure Samsung have anything to do with nexus event or Moto event ?
besides after their S4 launch event - Google would be well advised to stay clear of their event showcase strategy 'me so embarrassing' ... 
Looks beautiful
Can't wait to see what the hype is all about on Aug 1st!
I am praying that they put in the 4000mAh battery into the Moto X.
Looks nice but I think the S4 and HTC One look nicer in the front, the back looks like and the shape has over all nice lines.
I still like what the s4 has to offer on the insides - I guess we need to see what features this has compared to its competitors.
Moto is bleeding money and needs a winner, Samsung has long established itself has the major android player and even HTC is struggling to keep up. Moto is even further behind and this phone needs to hit it out of the park
Have they designers learned anything speaker needs to be in front, headset jack on the bottom almost perfect. Damn!
I actually prefer the jack being on top but agreed about the speaker. It's one of the most annoying things about Android phones in general.
I'm starting to gain more and more interest in this so this is worries me more and more too.
^ Yep me too. I may be tempted to swap one of my phones at some point for it
I'll probably just buy it upfront unless I end up having to pay a crazy amount to ship it in then I might try and sell my Nexus 4 (if it gets me a decent price).
When Dennis Woodside (Motorola CEO) revealed the existence of Moto X at D11 two months ago, he did say: ""The Moto X is going to be broadly distributed -- that's a first for Motorola in a number of years. The support of the carriers has been fantastic."
I can't imagine "broadly distributed" being just all the major carriers here in the states. There's absolutely no reason for this device to be USA/Canada only.
I actually did think he meant broadly as in more than just Verizon but I hope I'm wrong.
Good battery, good camera, LTE, 4.3 - 4.5" and $400 or less contract free and I'm sold.
Seems like this and the budget iPhone are going to be the new trend.
