thank you so much! Better. I never use a photo greater than 800 pixels, so if i can get a decent shot like that, that is good. And all 3 photos in that post are good.
and re: battery, check out phil's review.
Picked one up today (Canada)!

Games? Heck. My Gnex gets burning hot just browsing the web or the Facebook app. It seems to be related to the crappy radios/poor signal strength; not just GPU operation.
It's great to hear your answer, though. I don't play a lot of games, so knowing the X runs cold is a good sign.

Can you see if you can train it to say "okay google now" with a slight accent deviation? Can you try it with a County Down irish accent? It would sound like "Okay Google.. " but the "now" would rhyme with "buy", so almost like night, but with out the T.
lol. I know that may sounds strange but it's close to the term but might still allow for accent deviation. Not that they would be expecting a local irish accent but surely they might account for a change in 1 syllable. I tried to do it in the store the other day with a droid but it wouldn't let me record b/c it was too loud in the background.

I wouldn't, but a big part of the Moto X's appeal to me is its small size. the Maxx is just too big for my tastes.

Not really. I would however like a 32GB version (with some customization), so if anyone in the US is willing to sell one let me know!
A couple shots from early evening. Note (a) how grey the sky is; (b) the incredible difference in lighting just from shifting between portrait and landscape shot.
I've been extremely excited about the Moto X but i'm very concerned about battery life. I have an iphone 5 now and most days can easily make it through a whole day and go to sleep with 40%+ battery remaining. It's beginning to sound like the moto x has comparable battery life to the GS4? I had the GS4 for about a week and I was lucky to get half a day of battery life out of it (that's been all of my android phones actually, and i've had a lot of them). I'm really hoping the X has significantly better battery life than the GS4. I do a lot of music streaming from pandora/spotify over bluetooth and the iphone battery handles that remarkably well, how would you say the X holds up?
Out of everything i've read, i'd say better than GS4 but not significantly to the point where you feel more at ease.
this camera is so weird. The talk i saw btwn kawasaki and the person who i guess is the software writer for the camera they mentioned they had a "challenge" with clouds and cloudy skies. I'd say that's just about right. lol. It's weird what the camera has problems with. grant, it has problems with more lighting than it does not, but it's like it needs very specific lighting to work well. Can't be cloudy, can't have too much light coming into it, cant be dark.

Day 4 and I see the battery drop 4% an hour with little to no usage (i.e. just background services like BT, GMail active). Not sure it'd make 24 hours with moderate usage. I'm a little disappointed with the battery life as I assumed it would be way better than the GS4 I had.
You are doing something wrong. I've also had iPhone and many android, and if you don't have a rogue app on android killing your battery, many current gen android, including the gs4, get battery life as Good as or better than iPhone. So if you have issues with the moto x, download a battery monitor app and come here for help.

Damien, Iike the landscape shot. It shows more detail that the 10mp sensor can pick up and the focus is close to spot on. Also the purple haze looks more pronounced in the portrait mode with the sky and the pebbles in the foreground imo
With some tweaking, the camera/software in the Moto X can be really good. I think it's good now.

You would see similar differences in any camera that is auto-metering these shots, even a DSLR. By changing to landscape mode you have completely altered the composition, and in this case, due to the amount of grey In the portrait orientation, the white point was changed too. This change will completely alter the way the camera handles the color and the amount of contrast you will see.
Can't you just return it before 10 days? I am really happy that I held off buying the Moto X until the real user reviews started coming in. I have yet to read a positive review by a real user.
