I've got the Moto X, you've got questions ? fire away!

Can you change the "OK Google Now" command to something different?

Phil,

Given your choice of phones, would you make this phone your main phone? and the why behind that answer.

No.

Hell if I know. I'm not a normal usage case. But, yes, I think it will be my main phone for a while.

Phil, i don't care about specs, but when i think "Android flagship" i think of innovations, pushing boundaries and changing the game. I've seen nothing in this phone that does those things. What have you seen in this phone that qualifies it as a flagship, in August 2013, given those criteria? This seems like a solid phone to me, just not a flagship, but maybe I'm wrong

I think the word "flagship" gets thrown around too much. (And I use it more than I should, too.)

Are you blind..... The new X8 computing system will be a game changer IMO. Work smarter not harder is what I say and that is exactly what the X8 computing system is all about.

How is voice quality on calls?

Just kidding, nobody talks on their phone anymore. Seriously, though, if you had to buy a brand new phone right now, would it be the Moto X? Also, I'm interested in your impressions on the wood-backed Moto Xs. Do they feel durable? Comparable in weight to the regular plastic-bodied versions?

No I'm not blind, thanks for your concern. So what specifically has the X8 done for you in your experience with it?

Ok, setting setting aside the word flagship, what have you seen in this phone that is innovative, pushing the envelope or changing the game for a phone that is released in August 2013.

I think cramming a 4.7-inch display into a phone this size is pretty damned exciting. Your mileage may vary.

I'm enjoying the Active Display stuff a little more than I thought I would.

Dunno if I'll keep talking to my phones this much though.

So, on Verizon would you use the s4, one, or x?

 

[roadkizzle]

I'd say that truly i think that both the Active Display notifications and always listening Voice Actions are both extremely innovative and required completely unique processing structures to be able to function without completely killing the phone.

In my mind that is the definition of innovative. The only useful addition I really see in the GS4 is the multi-window mode, but i think that the number of floating apps brings close enough functionality to make it easy to do without.

Motorola's additions will be very useful without being able to be replicated simply through another app or two because no other phone incorporates the low power processing centers to handle the calculations needed.

Compared to the Nexus 4 does it really feel that much smaller/better? Because the Nexus 4 does feel good for a 4.7 screen device.

I like the feel of the Nexus 4. I think I might like this better.

Has anyone at NSA responded back yet? asking for a friend.

Do you think that the X will have enough features to compete with the iPhone 5s? By the way, your name reminds me of the pro-golfer Phil Mickelson.

When you got home with the new Moto X did your wife find you more attractive?
