Anybody switch from g3 to the X? I just order a new X because I miss the voice dialing with the moto and the moto notifications. I will probably keep the g3 for the camera and swappable batteries. I'm thinking I'm going to like the turbo charge on the moto though. I've owned just about every Motorola phone since the original droid. I just help but liking them.

I switched from a G3 to a Moto X 2014. So far I'm pretty happy with the change. I tested the first release of lollipop in the G3 and it was quite great, but the strong intrussive UI dissapointed me. I felt also some lag when going home from apps and a very aggressive memory management (you know, I still play Candy Crush Saga :( and if I swapped from CCS to whatsapp and returned to CCS, my game had closed and I had to start again). The screen in G3 is gorgeus but, even when I have very big hands (I'm 2m tall) it was still too big and I had problems to reach top left corner. Camera in G3 is amazing and I don't know if there is other phone with such a camera. But still I prefer my Moto X:
-Better build quality and materials (bamboo back here)
- Better memory management.
- Better size in my opinion. For me, 5-5.2inch reaches sweet spot.
Some things I don't like in my Moto X:
- really thin in its edges, it's sometimes hard to not drop
- Lack of developement community.
- Camera app sucks and it seems it's still incompatible with android lollipop new API.
- No removable battery.

Hope it helps you if you are still thinking of switching.
 
I just received my new x today and it seems pretty quick. Have to wait a few days to see about battery but hopefully the car and home quick chargers I bought will help with that. I agree about the camera not being near as good as the g3 but the signal strength seems to be a little better on the x.

I literally switched from my g3 to the moto x because of the experience on one app. Download appygeek on both phones and do the globe thingy (sorry don't know what it's called. g3 lags, moto x is butter. hence y i now own a 64gb pure edition.
