The rest of the story - not a happy ending
I believe I have boxed myself in to iDevices. The MBP is okay but the ipad and iPhone work as one basically and I use them alternately as convenient, except to make phone calls of course.
With the Moto X I had to find third party cross OS apps, some of them worked as well as the native apps but others didn't or needed too much fiddling to set it to sync properly. Interestingly for almost all the apps the Android version worked better than the iOS version. I am not a third party app person and specially don't like to use apps where there is a built-in native app,
This coupled with the fact that my husband didn't care for the iPhone and really wanted his Nokia back, I gave up and went back to my iPhone 5.
I have no intention of parting with my X, it really and truly is a great phone and the perfect size. I will wait until the successor to the X and iPhone 6 come out and then make the decision which way to go and how much time and effort I want to put into finding the right cross OS apps.
I miss the X, specially the Active Display, I keep turning my iPhone over and expect it to show me some information. I also miss the ease of sharing between apps, the ease of drag & drop, the battery life. Facebook Messenger has an annoying pop up on iOS which was absent on the X and I really liked that. Then thee are the widgets of course.
So I guess if I didn't have an iPad I wouldn't have gone back to the iPhone. I can't think of any one thing that I normally do that works better on the iPhone than on the X.
Oh well, at least I now have a great backup Smartphone.
