I Have to buy a phone today....

[serenemind]

I have been waiting to try the Moto X, the next Iphone and Note 3 and then decide which one to buy. I am not tied to one particular platform and love both android and iOS. I have been on android for the last 3 years.

I have tried:
HTC one and loved it but got bored of it really quick
GS4 except the display and camera I hated the phone (Cannot stand touchwiz)

So I went back to my iphone 4s and have been using it with iOS7 for the last 2+months. Last night the 4s fell in water and Siri has gone nuts ever since.
Siri places calls randomly; upon disabling Siri, voice control takes over and does the same thing. I removed the SIM but was connected to wifi and now Facetime starts placing facetime calls. Trust me all this happened at 3:30 AM this morning, all of a sudden and creeped the heck out of me

Long story short, I badly need a phone and will be getting one as soon as the stores open today as I don't have any other backup :-(. I would love to get a Nexus 4 but its an year old and I cannot get one right away, so that's probably ruled out.

So between HTC one, Moto X & iphone 5 (Yes I am asking this on an android forum) which one would you guys recommend.

Don't give answers like it depends on your needs etc. Just tell me your opinion.

Peace
Serenemind

2nd. Unless camera is really important to you. Then One, Iphone, X

Agreed if you need a camera then the One or Five

I have a nexus 4 and I like the x more. Such a better feel in the hand and its just as smooth if not smoother. Also the camera seemed fine. I'd get the x my friend

What many of you seem to fail to mention/ask is if the op has a large investment in iTunes/apple ecosystem. If he is the I recommend the iPhone 5. Also if he depends on imessage or face time a lot. As those are only available on apple devices

But he has been on an iPhone for the past 2+ months so he could be on imessage a lot...

I have iphone5 Now....getting the X wonderful screen size and best feeling phone I have ever held

 

[guinnkevinr]

The camera on the x isn't bad. It's not the best but it's really manageable in my opinion.

I believe Moto X camera can be fixed with a software update.

I recommend Moto X

 

[serenemind]

Thanks a lot for all the responses guys. I really appreciate it.
I got the moto X. Have played with it for 30 mins approx. I love stock android or almost stock android if you want me to be more specific.
Still setting up the phone. I will post more details about my experience as I get to use the phone more.

Thanks all again. Love these forums. I will miss the iPhone but the screen size of the moto x and how it feels in hand will keep me happy.

Good call my friend...I've played with it twice now and I'm smitten. I just don't want to sign a contract so I'm waiting on it to hit GP. My nexus 4 is gonna be getting dusty till KLP comes out 8)

I absolutely hate iTunes. And I absolutely love the customization available with Android. I also don't trust that HTC will update the One as I believe Moto will update the X. And I love stock Android. So X all the way for me.

I was able to purchase the phone outright and pair it to an AT&T prepaid wireless plan. $60 per month and the phone will almost pay for itself when compared to a $100 post paid contact after one year.

If I had to get a phone today and the phone that I wanted wasn't out(Note 3), I would buy a cheap 70-80 dollar Android phone that I could use on your carrier till the phone you wanted came out.

 

[Haalcyon]

I thinking the Note 3 will be worth waiting for.
