So. I'm currently running a CM10 Galaxy Note (which I only recently upgraded from CM9 and I have to say, the difference is awesome.)
I bought a Nexus 7 a little while ago, and I was thinking about waiting for a Nexus 4 to replace the Note. However, with the instant sellout of the Nexus 4 and the concerns about a few aspects (performance, throttling, durability, etc. etc.) I am considering other options. As of now, they are:
Note 2:
+ Size, Processor, RAM, Storage Capacity (already own 64gb micro sd card in current note)
- Price (will be approximately £200 to upgrade)
HTC One X
+ Size (still a decent sized screen, at least compared to Nexus 4), Processor, Price (approximately £50 to upgrade)
- Only 1 GB RAM, No external SD
Nexus 4:
+ Processor, RAM, Android Update Support, Price (approximately £100 to upgrade)
- Screen size, Questions about quality issues, lack of supply means value of Note will drop as I wait to purchase, No external SD
Galaxy S3
+ Size (bigger screen than the non-Notes), Processor, RAM, Developer Support, Storage space (SD card)
- Price (approximately £100-150 to upgrade)
What would you do? The fear is that the longer we go, the more the value of the note will drop. The values of all the others will drop, whilst the Nexus most likely won't.
All input welcomed!
Install VoIP software on the Nexus 7, e.g. CSIPSimple, and get an account with some provider. Three allow VoIP on their data SIMs.
Oh. It's wifi only. Not that this inherently a massive problem but it does limit its usefulness somewhat. But thanks for the suggestion. ^_^
And I still have a contract with my note, so this is why I am not simply signing a new contract to get one of the phones above. Should have mentioned. Sorry.

You guys have lost me completely !
I'd not go with the Note2, as there is no official CM support for the device(a deal-breaker,at least for me)
Neither the Galaxy S3 bcoz it will be old and you'll get the itch to upgrade as soon as the S4 comes out (oh, and that won't have official CM support too if it uses Exynos)
Nexus 4 - No idea, I don't care about a phone that has only 8 to 16 GB of memory no matter how good its other specs are.(Come to India and check out 3G data prices, you'll see why)
HTC 1 X - Still no memory but at least there is a 32GB option available ( although if the 64 GB card is anything to go by, it will be less for you....and me too ).But I guess you can use 4G for your data needs(I heard the carriers in UK were rolling out 4G soon).
My advice would to be wait it out with the Note and see what the next year brings to the table.Sony is releasing the Xperia Yuga and Odin models with 1080p screens.Check them out.HTC is also coming out with a 1080p phone.All of these are practically guaranteed to come with the S4 Pro so they will get official CM support.I'd go with Sony, seeing as it is XDA's top OEM of the year 2012.
Just to make it clear, I'm not a Sony fan as I've never bought a Sony phone in the past.

Could be interesting, but I doubt it'll have an SD card slot, so I'll probably pass because of that. Unless phones start coming with 64-128GB+ of storage, SD cards will be necessary. I don't consider USB OTG thumb drives, the Cloud, WiFi Drives, etc as good mobile storage solutions. Kind of a pain in the ass to put an OTG drive into a phone, put all that into my pocket, and do anything requiring movement and not risk breaking the USB port on either the phone or the OTG drive.
A good example -- I was going to get the new Nexus 7, but its nothing more than a 1080p Moto X Tablet (spec wise). Decided instead on the Asus MeMO 7 HD. For $70 cheaper I can get the same amount of Rom Storage, an SD slot, good enough hardware, 720p. Probably gonna get that next Friday . Point is, I'd be willing to pay $70 more for an SD card slot...instead I'll spend that $70 on a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (or a protective case...) for the tablet. I don't see the need for 1080p on a 7" screen, so I don't consider that as a loss.

I don't think Google has ever released a Nexus device with SD Card support since the original Nexus One.
I agree with you though. SD Card Support is a must for me too. However, I like the way the Moto X is. Low specs sure, but everything seems to work the way it should. I dont think the Nexus would have the same specs as the Moto X, it should have good hardware to support atleast 2-3 years of updates.

Spec wise, X is all you really need in a phone. If it had an SD card I'd seriously consider it.
Nexus 5 will probably be a quad core X with updated components. 32-64GB internal storage. No SD.
I'd like to see the manufactures take a different route with the phones. Make 3 models -- small (Defy), medium (AHD), large (Note2) with the same hardware other than screen size. Only buttons need to be power and volume; ports needed are hdmi, mini usb, sd card(s). For users that want keyboards, better camera, random special hardware, the phones will have removable backs that can be replaced with hardware addons. Imagine being at work so you attach the slide out keyboard module, get off work and attach the 78mp camera module, for playing games you can attach the controller module. If a manufacturer did that, made it Android, & unlocked the boot loader we'd all get that phone. It would be a nightmare for cases/otterboxes, but having a choice in screen sizes and interchangeable hardware modules would make up for that -- just imagine being able to buy an extended battery + slide-out keyboard all-in-one module.

I believe Sony is actually doing something to that idea, they have a wi-fi camera module that will link to your phone and use your phone as the view finder. Granted its not the same, but the idea is similar. I'd be happy with just removable battery and micro SD and micro HDMI (I really dont see why they started this MHL BS.)
But I am looking at getting a new phone this winter, if this Moto-Nexus pans out it may be the way I go. I was leaning twoards an Xperia Z.
I wanted to post this yesterday but I was in a huge rush to get my upgrade without losing unlimited data. I was not sure what phone to get to replace my beloved gnex. The moto x seemed like a great phone with a great battery which was key for me because the gnex battery only lasted me half of a day. But Verizon does not have the 32gb version so going to the moto x is a step down from the 32gb I filled in my gnex. It was nice to see and extra 50gb of space in my drive account for getting it, but obviously cloud storage hardly compares to hard storage. Also, I had to choose from black or white when the Motomaker site makes the phone look so much nicer but its a big tease when I cant use it with Verizon! Basically, my question is- Should I keep my boring black 16gb moto x or exchange it for another phone? If it was 32gb and had motomaker it would be perfect but without them it feels kind of basic when compared to the GS4 and the HTC1. Is anyone else as mad as I am that verizon releases yet another phone without all the goodies? Thanks.
I liked my all black Moto X and figured I can work with 16gb of space. The battery is great and I can add memory using my usb stick with an otg cable.
Later after a week I returned it back to Verizon and got the 32gb Developers Edition from Motorola for Verizon. Its got a black face and a white back with Verizon Developer Edition written on it. Its nice because of the extra 16gb of space but also has an unlockable bootloader. I haven't unlocked it yet because I've been rooted using Master JCase's root method. I love this phone because it's also smaller, kinda gotten tired of the big screen if the Galaxy Note 2.
Yeah look into using a memory stick for the moto if you desire more memory. Works great and this is my first phone with an undetachable battery. So I got an 18000mAh Power pack from Limeade. So now I got more power than I can handle. Hahah.

A few people on XDA have indicated that verizon will have Motomaker and the 32gb variant by the 2nd week of November. However I guess that is too long to wait to trade it in. I'm not sure I was trade for another phone based on not getting to choose your own color. As for the storage size, that is based on whether or not you think you need that much internal storage.
I just feel really let down about not having 32gb and motomaker as options when my last phone had more storage. I bet they lost a lot of sales to the S4 and HTC1 when they have more storage. Is there any way I can exchange my phone to motorola and pay the difference for the 32gb with a wood back?
Other than music(I use Spotify so it's a non issue) I'm not sure why anyone needs more space than 16gb.all my photos and videos are auto backed up to g+ or dropbox, music and video streams. And colors... I guess it's nice if you want it to match your purse.

I'm in similar situation, was in frenzy the other night caring about the upgrade nonsense that I ordered a Maxx without really thinking about it (thinking Moto X w/ coupon would have been about half the price). Very nice phone, my 2 complaints are the hardware keys and the size (too large for me to hold comfortably on one hand). While I'm getting comfortable with it, very likely going back and getting the X.

Video podcasts, rom backups, All Access were eating a ton out of my 16gb Nexus. I probably won't be doing much rom stuff on the X but that extra 16gb is always a welcome addition.
With Motorola announcing the Moto G the other day, the low price of that phone and the power it has makes it an interesting option. For $200 USD you get a 1.2ghz quad core, 16GB nand, adreno 302 graphics, 1gb of ram, unlocked sim, unlocked bootloader, and guaranteed kitkat from Motorola. Other than the lack of hdmi and sdcard, that's a really good value. See here for the full specs. To deal with the 16gb nand, just get a micro usb thumb drive for music and movies, they cost between $30-$70 for a decent sized one, and 16GB should be enough to cover most users other than gamers...gamers'll probably want to be on a better phone anyways.
A really big plus in my opinion is the G's OS wiil be pure AOSP other than 2 Motorola apps designed to migrate your settings and apps over to the G.....less technical users like my Mother actually use and like them so I see those as a good thing. When your Mom can take her first Android phone, the Atrix HD, plug it up to her laptop and get it all set up and running to her liking relatively hassle free, then Motorola did something right.
G also comes with 50GB of Google Drive storage free for 2 years....not sure if that's a plus or a minus since you'll have to pay for the Google Drive storage eventually....I also have 190GB of free Copy.com storage thanks to all of you so I laugh at the G's 50GB free .
The G obviously has some downsides because it is a budget phone. For one, it doesn't have 4G/LTE, it doesn't have the Active Notifications its big brother X has, no hdmi port, & no sdcard slot.
I'm normally really against phones without the sdcard option, but for the price, the Moto G is hard to hate on; especially when otg thumb drives are as cheap as they are.
My only curiosity with the G is if usb-to-hdmi works with it. If it doesn't it isn't a deal breaker, but it would be nice to be able to hook it up to a bigger screen for watching movies or playing games.
There's a really good chance I'll pick one of these up on launch. If anything to show Motorola that if they make a good, fully unlocked phone at a good price that we will buy it.
//If the X developer edition wasn't so ugly* and wasn't priced so high I'd say things like this post about it. Drop the X Dev Edition to $350 and add it to Moto Maker (even if it costs an extra $50) and I'd consider it. For $550, the X Dev isn't worth the $$$ for a slightly faster processor, active display, and touchless controls; and I bet ya the G can probably port over the X's touchless controls, if not more.
*I'm not a fan of white phones, looks or for practicality. My hands get dirty when I work and I'll have a white phone smudged black in less than a week.
I'm really looking forward to the new phone block phone. Especially since Motorola is working with them now.

Moto and block phone.....that makes things very interesting. I'd love the option to make me a brick phone. Thin phones are OK and all, but I'd rather have a 5" brick with a good battery, keyboard, and expandable storage (and a micro hdmi/usb configuration like the we currently have).
Still, name a better phone for under $250 brand new that's better than the Moto G. I say $250 because I'm including the cost of a micro usb thumb drive. When you can get a good phone + accessories for under $300, someone's doing something right. Kudos Motorola.
I agree still a really good deal.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
It's good deal but still I would choose Atrix HD over it. I think now prices should be more or less the same on ebay.
Yeah great phone for a great price I definitely plan on getting one as soon as there out and ending this ridiculously expensive att contact! Pure android with kit Kat is great!

I can get behind the AHD ebay/G new similar pricing, but a lot of you aren't thinking about this in the right way -- this is a Motorola WORLD RELEASED PHONE with an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER in a price range almost everybody can afford. There won't be any rom, mod, tweak, or customization that this phone won't have, which is a value you can't put a price on and, I believe, gives this the edge over the Atrix HD.
The G is essentially a Motorola made Nexus 4.5.

I agree completely. Hell at this price I will buy one just to sit on the back burner. Hell, who am I kidding, "just to play around with" is how that was supposed to read lol.
I would have spent a little bit more to get 2gb of ram, and then it would rival just about anything on the market. That and the lack of SD card support are the only two turn offs for me. I just don't know if 16gb of storage will be enough. I haven't ever seen one so correct me if there is, but I wish that there were tiny little OTG flash drive that could plug into the USB and just sit there, a little bump on the outside, kind of like those tiny usb drives and wireless mouse recievers that they make for laptops. Where it's just a plug and not much more volume to it. It would be a hassle to unplug it to charge the phone, but no more than the hassle of carrying around a jump drive and an OTG cable.
Though, like you said, this is huge. An unlocked moto phone with very decent specs that will have pretty much every rom ever known to man? Gimme two.
As for no LTE, meh. Who cares. Once you reach a certain point, internet speed gets to be a moot argument IMO. Especially mobile internet. Who's gonna be downloading huge files that would need that kind of internet on a phone? 21 mbps is good enough for me. To put it to terms, at that speed you could fill up the entire phone's memory in a matter of a few hours. Or to put it another way, you could burn through an entire month's worth of data on a standard data plan in a couple of hours. So at that point who cares? Nobody uses that much speed on a phone. Your facebook page can only load so fast.
what you do with a quad no hdmi port?????
can be connected to tv trough mini usb port?????
also no lte speed on the road is a big no for me
at least able to get 4g???
definly if you can connect to tv and get 4g speed
is going to be my new toy.....
other i stick with my atrixhd....with kitkat is like a new phone!!!!!!!
@skeevydude
That's true. I didn't think that way.
Can't wait to see if it will be officially available in my little european contry. I haven't seen any motorola phones avilable officialy in stores for a while. If so, that would be really great.
I really like the sounds of this phone. Prior to the AHD, I hadn't purchased a phone on contract for 4-5 years, I like to buy and not hassle with ehte 2-year agreement. However, lack of 4g/LTE is a bummer with this one.
I don't think the lack of 4G/LTE is that big of a deal, especially since 3G is faster than my home cable internet anyways. For me, 4G is just a way for me to hit my data caps even faster and 4G speeds won't really matter to me until Big Cellular allows more than 2gb a month before I hit said cap -- I can live with getting push notifications of GMail at 3G speeds.... Ya also gotta realize that this is a world phone and 4G is mainly for Americans and major metropolitan areas outside of the US.
There's something seriously f'd up with these companies being allowed to give us the ability to use a month's bandwidth in less than 5 hours.
Realistically, the data cap should be 2gb a day with 3 dollars a gigabyte after that. That's enough to watch a movie, check emails, update apps.
Can't even sync an android repo without hitting the cap.....
Can't tether to a PC without being charged $20 a month...only gives an extra 2gb of data....I'd rather root, rom, and risk the $10 a gb overage charge...works out the same on my end $$$ wise.
Can't think of a fifth line to add....crap, just missed 420 and I just reuped.
Same reason im on prepaid T-Mobile. Lol True i pay $70 a month but i don't have to worry about data as i have wasted last month about 50gb in a month on LTE. My laptop is very happy with this plan as well. Lol
That's why I'm going to aio once my contract is up.

This might be the only phone to get me away from my Atrix. I love the shells and form factor. I can't use giant screens either and anywhere from a 4.5 to a 4.7 inch screen are perfect for me.
The only thing I don't like in moto g is that it's a lot thicker than atrix hd

Moto G is a budget phone for 200 dolar that i am not interested in. If they need power users, they have to deliver powerful phones. All in all, even if it has neat specs, at the end of the day a 200$ smartphone is worth 200$. You will not find fine details in it but I can buy it for my sister,mother or father which is the purpose and reason for its market availability.

I recently bought a 32 gb Nexus after the price drop and already am troubled with storage. Looking for guidance and trying to decide if its worth returning and making the upgrade to the moto x pure since it has expandable storage. Was planning on using the nexus 6 for google fi. Could someone give me insight.
Insight on what exactly? I've been using the 32gb variant for 5 months now and have no trouble with storage. Not sure what could possibly take up so much storage besides music, movies, etc. To remedy this I would suggest using a cloud based storage to stream if you want to listen to music. There's also the option of using a small flash drive such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digi...1445546891&sr=8-2&keywords=kingston+micro+usb
Hopefully this was helpful.
Not enough? What exactly is the issue with storage. I've got a 32gb, with 2 ROMs, tibu backup, twrp backup and still have 15gb left

It's just that after backing up all my apps contacts and only placing 10 gigs of music on my phone I'm finding myself with only 3 gigs to spare. Cloud storage is currently not an option since I'm planning on leaving a unlimited data plan to go to google Fi and in my current budget I have room for a 2 gig capacity. I have an hour long commute a day so music is a must haha.
Deryck thanks for the link on the usb android memory reader that thing looks tiny and awesome. I was just looking at insight on keeping the nexus 6 or switching the moto x pure. Do you own that one that you sent me?? I like the idea of usb memory reader I just was worried about it possibly damaging the usb port since I keep my phone in the cupholder of my car. Just curious if you worried about durability. Also I know that stickmount is root required and have no idea if rooting causes any harm to google fi.
BlueEyes that's sweet you have so much room! Before adding anything to my phone the phone is at 25 gb. haha

Root will not mess with google fi.
The moto x pure is a nice phone but if you can find a way to work with the storage on the nexus then you'll save a few hundred dollars. I do not own that device I linked to but would not worry about durability, if it is just sitting in the cup holder there shouldn't be any damage done.

I have about 15gb of space left, but I keep all my large sized games for my previous device. This as a daily driver is really about managing space. Do you need 10gb of music? I'd consider a separate device dedicated to just music if it were me.
Thanks for the great idea Asacado I'll just convert my old galaxy s4 as a pure music and entertainment powerhouse! This will work quite well! No need to give up wireless charging bigger screen and first to update over some silly moto x pure!! Thanks everyone for helping <3 the xda community.

i learned to deal with 16gb when all nexus were offered that way, 32gb is extremely easy to deal with. but my completely unlimited tmobile account helps, as i learned to keep stuff like music in the cloud. right now i have 3 nandroid backups, 6gb of photos, and much more. and still gave spece left

I wasn't trying to be rude, just tossing personal storage information. I had no idea what was going on, just storage issues or whatever the exact wording was.... And you go into attack mode with your attempt at witty sarcasm.. Congrats.. Remember who's the genius who started a whole post instead of a simple Google search.

OMG :c I didn't mean to be sarcastic I was just really excited to know that all of it was a possibility.!! I haven't really flashed phones since an htc evo and I forgot how minimal phones can be. My last phone was the newest LG G2 and it had constant issues when I unlocked the bootloader so I had to return to bloatware. :'c For your backups are they total backups or just radios and the important things? Sorry again for sounding sarcastic total accident.

My twrp is full system, data and boot. I wipe caches prior to backing up to decrease size. As davlik can be a gig itself. I backup (tibu) most user apps and app data. Sorry for getting upset. I actually like helping others and can't stand those who belittle users with less knowledge. I do have several USB otgs , like these SanDisk Ultra 64GB USB 3.0 OTG Flash Drive With micro USB connector For Android Mobile Devices- SDDD2-064G-G46 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RBGYGPG/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_w8zkwbMJYQA1Z
Take care and enjoy!
