I'm on Verizon and in TX and I've got until 12/23 to decide if I want to keep it or return it. First full day of use, I was having issues as I was getting erratic and often very slow speeds on 4G LTE and I only got 15 hours of use before I had to put it on the charger. Went back down to the VZW store at lunch today and asked them to swap out the SIM and now it's doing quite a bit better. Faster speeds and battery life today on pace for 24 hour capacity, which is what it's rated at. I'm still tempted to return this one and pick up a Droid Maxx instead. The bigger screen and battery capacity is attractive to me. I'm coming from a Razr Maxx, so I'm used to not having any issues at all with battery life. But the nice size and comfortable shape of the Moto X and my customized Motomaker design is making it a tough decision.
yeah, the Droid Maxx is attractive for the battery, there is no disputing that.
But I love the Moto x's active notifications and the always listening/touchless controls are even better after today's update - the find my phone feature is wonderful for when I am late getting out the door and I can't find my phone (which happens at least once a week)! Also, the new updates are going to make me PIN lock my phone for sure. I have never done this before and now with the trusted bluetooth and voice pin unlock, I will do it.
I bought one of those cheap mycharge trek chargers from verizon so that will help me with any extra juice I need. They are under $14 and free standard shipping:

Keep in mind that the Droids are not receiving the same level of support that the Moto X is receiving.
yeah, today's update to the touchless controls and PIN unlock was incredible!

Well, that isn't really exclusive to the Moto X. It's for Motorola phones running Kit Kat. So if the Droids were running Kit Kat...

OK, but I was responding to your post about the Moto X receiving a higher level of support than the Droids. Do any Droids have Kit Kat?
I PM'ed you an unused code, please check your inbox. Don't forget to check out as a guest and let me know what color your dad got!

The Droids have all of the same features as the Moto X like Active Notifications, Touchless Controls, Quick Capture Camera, X8 architecture, etc...plus a couple other things like wireless charging and Zap (which I doubt I would use). So by not receiving the same level of support as the Moto X, are you mainly referring to timeliness of OS updates? Think I read that SOAK test for KitKat started awhile back for the Droids and 4.4 is definitely coming, but hasn't been released yet.

Yes. But since some of the recent updates in the Play store require Kit Kat...

Valid points and this Moto X is growing on me....alot. I've been at home most of today and mostly on wifi, but I'm currently on pace for 35 hours of battery capacity. If this keeps up, I think I'll probably be hanging onto this phone. I was just concerned because I only got 15 hours the first full day of ownership. But between swapping out the original SIM, a bit more wifi use today and the battery probably settling in, battery with that kind of capacity wouldn't be an issue and it would actually be longer life than my old Razr Maxx with the bigger capacity battery. I also switched from Dalvik to ART last night and some are saying that can increase battery life and phone performance. Any of you using ART and have any comments on your experiences you can share?

How does swapping out the SIM card effect battery life?
35 hours is fantastic! I had 14 1/2 the first day with 23% left I was happy with that.

Don't know for a fact that it did, just thought my improvement might have come from a combination of the factors I named. I figured if the new SIM made it so the phone wasn't struggling as much to get a good 4G LTE connection, maybe that was a contributing factor.

Looks like KitKat could be coming to the Droid lineup soon.

I'm loving the fact that Moto is pushing these updates out very quickly.
