Yeah that's wishful thinking on my part, sorry. For me 15GB a month would basically eliminate any scare of going over a data limit for my wife and I (unless a shady app stole my bits! ;) ). I priced it out assuming we would get the same discount on AT&T as Verizon (which is likely) it would be...

Like a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 5. ;) I think that's a great idea, but that would also signal that the Nexus line isn't a developer line at all, but a real consumer line. That would be a great idea too.

I would choose "AT&T takes the opportunity to steal Verizon customers by offering 15GB/month accounts to current VZW customers with unlimited data". ;)

Lots of people holding out hope with you. The G2 received an FCC update stating compatibility around the day it was released on Verizon so fingers crossed for that here as well. Still, hope but expect Verizon to devour your dreams.

My point was Samsung and HTC had access to 4.3 before it was released (hence the leaks). No reason for Moto to not have access to it as well. I didn't say it would be a quick and easy update, but they flat out said they don't have the code. I feel like people overestimate the effort in...

How often do you need to use the volume buttons? After I initially set them I only need to use them when in my "other office" (bathroom at work ;) ). I use the quick settings shade to toggle from sound to silent, so I never need the buttons. Power button may be a different story. The tap on...

The X's active notifications would require a framework that would allow an app to read notifications like what was released in 4.3. X's Moto Active (is that what it was called) uses features that detect driving and walking which where new to the Google Services announced back in May. It...

After buying 4 LG pads (2 for the car) I require wireless charging which is why I don't have a Moto X. Charging rate depends on your phone. My wife's S3 has fast charge enabled via lean kernel and when I had the Palm Pre hack on my GNex I would get charging rates about (or equal) to usb. You...

I would suggest anyone with Android OS as their top battery item should investigate their phone with a tool like Better Battery Stats. You probably have an app that is keeping your phone awake a lot. I don't have an X, but on my GNex my Screen is always the top (unless I don't use it, but the...

Yes. 11% for an app that should do so little is high. Surprised that wifi is so high. I leave wifi (always on option) and bluetooth on for my GNex and both stay at or less then 5%.

Where you on wifi for awhile and it is just counting that wrong maybe?

Not taking it personally. More of a reminder to you. ;) Thanks.

Shows you how dumb the jedi were. Looked really unbalanced in their favor when they found him.

Phil, Since you completely ignored the previous question about wireless charging I'll ask again. Does it have wireless charging? It's one of two things that concerned me. The other was off contract price, and that one isn't happening.

Got a source for that? Or have you just never heard of mark up? Look at this: iPhone 5 Carries $199 BOM, Virtual Teardown Reveals - IHS iSuppli The $650 iPhone 5 16GB costs $207 for materials and assembly. Now this doesn't count R&D, marketing, shipping, the box. But to believe the these...
