Will be keeping the n5 and 5s. Everyone here is spending way too much time trying to justify their moto x over the n5 and that actually says a lot
pretty simple, android is nexus and apple is 5s. Moto x is nice and mine will sell fast but most of the people here will bail for the n5. The exception being the Verizon people. Don't blame you, if I was being held down by Verizon I would keep my moto x.
You say this like people are secretly bitter about being on Verizon and not being able to have a Nexus 5. I was planning on switching to T-Mobile and getting a Nexus 5, but then Verizon offered me too great of a deal to turn down.
Here's the way it breaks down:
Nexus 5 = $350
T-Mobile unlimited talk/text & 2.5GB per month = $60
over 24 months = $1790
Moto X = $200
Verizon Loyalty plan unlimited talk/text & 2GB per month = $60
over 24 months = $1640
I'm in Chicago, so T-Mobile would have been a perfectly acceptable choice in terms of coverage in my regular day-to-day life, but after doing the math, Verizon was simply a no brainer. This isn't about being "held down" by Verizon--unless you define being "held down by Verizon" as Verizon forcing me to save money and offering me better coverage when I travel outside the city. "Geez, Verizon. Please. Stop twisting my arm." Yes, I'm bitter at saving money and having an awesome phone. So bitter.
And as for people "justifying" their decisions to keep their Moto Xs over the Nexus 5 and what you think that might say about them, before getting too judgmental of their choices, you might want to consider the fact that not everyone's priorities are the same as yours.
