Launch day buyer here. Overall this is the best phone I've used, primarily thanks to the long battery life with impressive screen on time. Unfortunately, around 30 days after I purchased, the mic died without reason one day. Verizon was nice enough to give me a new one and for the next year I had no complaints. Well, the mic died again last week, although it had a reason - I dropped it down my carpeted stairs in my house (5 steps). It wasn't particularly a bad drop, but it killed the microphone again. Prior to that the phone had never been dropped.
I see this as a quality flaw with moto. I've never had a hardware issue with any phone I've owned until now, and some of those previous phones had taken a beating. Moto wants $150 to fix, and that is simply not worth it. Even though it has been my favorite phone, I'm done with moto for a while.
