I purchased the Moto X from Sprint about a week ago, taking advantage of their new One Up program (phone cost me .42). A little background to my Smartphone usage. My first Smartphone was the HTC Incredible, so I have an extremely high standard for what a good Smartphone is. I loved the Incredible. I followed that up with the Samsung Galaxy S2, to extreme disappointment. What a hunk of crap that phone was. So, when the opportunity arose to dump the crap box ahead of my contract renewal, I jumped on it.
I debated between going back to HTC with the One or going with the new Motorola Moto X. I was hesitant at first about the X, but figured, it's made by Google, why wouldn't it be great? I was correct. The key to making the most out of this phone is to not gimp it out. Use Google, leave the GPS and WiFi on. The battery life is outstanding and lasts well into a day and a half even with all the features turned on. The bonus to letting the phone do what it does is it makes life better. This morning I had an up to the minute traffic update on my phone 10 minutes to my normal leaving time. It knows my house and my work. The voice commands are simple (despite what others are saying) and work amazing well if you take the time to really learn them. It connects to my Jabra Bluetooth speaker amazingly fast and uses all the Bluetooth controls with no setup (there is no need to use the activation phrase with Bluetooth, it just knows). In short, this is what a Smartphone should be. Smart. Don't be lazy in the first week or so of owning the phone and the phone will learn. Then, by all means, be lazy. Once trained, the phone knows what you want, it's a little freaky but totally worth it.
