Guilty as charged ;-) though I did pop into TMo about 10 hours later to take a peek. I held my note 3 up against it and was surprised how similar in size they are. After reading the reviews online, I thought it was going to be a behemoth.
It's the first time I've ever done it too!
I hesitated but after ordering it I finally found a demo in the store. After playing with it, I don't regret it one bit.
As soon as Motorola went live with orders. I knew the size and that is was basically a large X.
Watched enough videos to know I wanted vanilla 5.0....not HTC, Sam, LG or any other skins version of it.
Certainly did...didn't even run around to any stores to check it out before it arrived. Saw plenty of unboxing videos on YouTube. Was a different feeling unboxing a phone I've never held before but was a great experience. Loving it and think I will for awhile!
