HTC One X to Moto X - The king is dead, long live the king!

Select standard size and its unlimited.

Select standard size and its unlimited.

Yes. I figured that out. I was just pointing out that I was right about the 15 GB limit and that it was the Google Drive option.

[Bouncer]

Yea so now the hard drive space on your phone doesn't really need to be a huge issue when buying a new one. Just needs to be big enough to handle the OS and apps. 32gig hard drive on my phone is way more than enough.

[blm]

Yeah 32GB is a lot if you're not sucking it up with media.

[Bouncer]

Even with media though. I have about 20 or 30 movies. They are stored in google movies and I watch when I want. If I'm going on a flight I can choose to download which ones I want on device. Same with music. I usually just stream it direct from Google using LTE when I'm in car or gym and WiFi at home. None of it is actually on my device.

See the little black arrow in pic. That's the download option. I don't want it taking up space on my phone though so I leave it in cloud and stream it.

I'm really looking forward to having an updated powerful device. Sure I could have done a lot of the same things with my current wimpy RAZR M but why bother. It's like taking a moped to the track, sure you can do it but what's the point.

It's interesting how much demands the latest apps and software put on the hardware. My HTC One X was awesome when I got it - it still is, but I can definitely see the slowness. It sometimes lags a fraction of a second before switching apps, menus, etc. You can almost feel the processor chugging away in the background trying to keep up lol...

None of that with the Moto X. It flips through screens and apps like its nothing. I am sure in a couple of years, it will be struggling to keep up too. Can't beat new hardware though.

Things get even faster in lollipop believe it or not. Its primed for 64bit tech that all modern phones use.

There is literally no time between when you touch an app and when it displays. Its just instant.

64 bit phones are just now trickling in. I think you mean that lollipop is ready for the transition to 64 bit.

Really pleased with Pandora functionality on the Moto X. I am sure it is because of Kitkatt and the newer BT version but it is totally seamless. I get into the car, it starts up, turns off when I leave and picks up again when I get back at the end of the day. And since I can run the phone with voice commands, the first time I launched Pandora, I did it by voice with the phone in my pocket. Also, I like the fact that BT transmits album/artist into to the car dash display. Only thing I need to figure out how to get to work is the album art which is not showing up now. My HTC had an older BT version and while it connected perfectly with the car for calls, etc., the Pandora functionality was not as seamless as it wouldn't reliably reconnect if I left the car and came back after some time.

Just purchased mine. Now I have to get on Motorola and customize them and get them shipped.

I should have claimed that coupon the other day for $349. The reports of battery life are the main thing keeping me from pulling the trigger. I do like the voice control, I try and talk to my note 3, it just doesn't listen.

[Turbo3000]

Order the turbo charger.

8 hours of use off a 15 minute charge. I'll consider that a battery band aid.

I'm ready to order one, just waiting until I can purchase for $400 or less.

[Scrumhalf]

I need to get the turbo charger. But I've been doing OK with battery life. So far.

Should be here in a week. I really liked the sleek look of the black and feel of the leatherback. So I chose the black leather finish with the silver trim.
