I have been using the Moto X since the Rogers launch and I am very impressed. My previous device was the Galaxy Note 2 and this phone is imo better in every way except the camera and battery life. The camera is still decent but colors aren't as nice as the gn2. This is the snappiest phone I have ever owned. No slow downs so far. Battery life is pretty amazing. Not as good as the note 2 but it lasts me a whole day with 3-4 hours screen on time. Pretty much stock android with a few tweaks. The voice control is 100% accurate and quick, moto assist works pretty good too. It detects when I'm in my car and reads texts and auto replies I'm driving for missed calls.

This is the most comfortable phone I have ever held. It's the prefect size. I can't live without the dimple in the back! Perfectly placed and such a small feature yet it makes or breaks the way it feels in your hand. I just got a case for the phone and it came off after 10 minutes because it blocks the dimple. :P

Everyone is giving the phone such a hard time or not willing to try it due to 'bad' specs. I was reluctant too but I'm glad I gave it a shot. My games run smoother and faster on the Moto X than on my Note 2 (so does everything else). Everything about the phone is iPhone smooth. Pretty amazing. My only regret is me not having the willpower to wait for the 32GB model.

I've been through a few nexus devices and I always gave up on them due to bugs. Sure you get the latest updates first but they're always so buggy. Every update breaks something. All the nexus devices have the worst cameras too. I'd rather get updates later but with no bugs and let the other nexus owners beta test for me.

Having used a nexus 4 imo it isn't better than the Moto X. N4 not as comfortable to hold, I think the screen is not as good (I like amoled), can't get the n4 to last a whole day without top up charge, no LTE (I know you can enable via hidden menu but it destroyed the battery life), doesn't feel as quick or snappy
