forrest73's review of the Motorola Moto X (Verizon, 1st gen.)
original version, submitted Jul 25, 2014, 8:20 PM:
awesome, switched from iphone 5
first let me say that i love the iphone but the competition is catching up. i took the dive and went for the moto x mostly because i could customize it and it only cost $299 for the 16gb version, without a contract.
pros:
easy migration from iphone with a google/gmail account
custom fit with motomaker
gets the job done as a phone and internet appliance
cons:
battery life could be better but it's pretty much on par with my iphone 5
the app selection is good but ive noticed that they're not as polished as the ios apps. that is some of them hang sometimes and are a bit laggy (ie the nytimes app)
reception bars have been wonky (jumping from 4 to one) but all the calls ive made have been clear so not sure how accurate the signal bar is.
turned off imessage like they said but some of my friends with iphones still had my texts going to imessage. deleting the original text thread fixed that.
overall, im pretty happy with the switch and slimmed down, google designed phone. if you're making the switch from an iphone, it's pretty painless.

Battery life is pretty good for a phone. Can get through the day with moderate use on a single charge. Better than the iPhone in this area and one of the main reasons I switched.
Love the hand feel of this phone (got rubberized back) and not as slippery in the hand as an iPhone
