The note 3 may be too big but I am thinking the moto may be too small on the screen. I have only had it a day but it seems to me the icon are smaller and the usable screen space is very close to the iPhone 5 I have when accounting for the on screen buttons.

Is it my imagination? Coming from an s4 screen.

That was my dilemma when choosing which new Moto phone I wanted. I was so sold on the X and thought for sure that's what I'd get. But when I went and actually handled the phones in the store, I was one of the few very odd people who fell in love with the Ultra, much to my surprise. (Very unusual, believe me I've read ALL the reviews and I know how much hating goes on for the Ultra.) But anyway, I loved the bigger screen and the form and so that was it for me. But all of these 3 - Moto X, Maxx, Ultra - have these really nice, new, super useful features that Motorola has developed and they are fantastic devices, whichever one of the 3 you personally choose. I came from a 4.3 inch screen to my 5 inch Ultra and it is just right, not too big or small, for me.

Would the DROID maxx developer edition work on AT&T? Probably a stupid question

I currently have the Note 3 and I love the screen but the phone is just a little big for me. Not to mention Samsung has so many gimmicky features that don't really work as adveryised. I am very tempted to make the switch to the moto x and get the developer edition. Had anyone else switched from a note 3? I know this is a biased forum bit I have to ask.

I can agree on the Note 3 being too big (for me, my brother loves the size) but The Note 3 and the Moto X are two very different phones.
I don't have a note 3 but did have the S4 having the same basics, bloat & TW. The Note 3 and TW have a lot of "features" good or bad.
The Moto camera leaves room for improvement, but I seriously hardly even take pictures of anything. The S4 and Note 3 have killer cameras.
The moto is 99% stock android but with useful, unique features that cater to the experience, making it my favorite android to date.
I also think the S4 is pretty awesome, even with a little lag here and there. I am one of the few that actually Likes Touchwiz.
The Moto kind of reminds me of using an iPhone or windows 8 phone, sort of... both are more about the experience than having the most features.

I wish people would ignore specs when talking about the Moto X. The Moto x, other than the screen and camera, owns the S4 on performance in REAL life.
Benchmarks don't matter. The X is fast and smooth. I can't get it to lag doing ANYTHING.
Is the X perfect? no. Does the X provide a great user experience while using? Yes.

Hard choice you have. The win win is both phones are great, just like the G2. I can honestly say, sometimes, I still miss my S4... something about that phone makes me think I should get another one.

The note 3 is also to big for me personally .I came from a Galaxy Nexus and S3 to the Moto X.All those phones have close to the same size screen.So far the Moto X has done great. I like a pocketable phone,not one that likes a holster or to keep phone in hand when walking around.But then thats why they make all sizes of phones

Just picked up a Note 3 for the wife and I plan to grab a $99 Moto X for myself.

My wife carries her phone in her purse and has never put it in her pocket, so size is not an issue. She wanted a bigger phone (coming from iPhone 4s) and when she saw the oversized Note, it was game over for anything else. I always have my phone in my jeans/shorts pocket, so even the HTC One, S4, X2 feel too big for me. She also uses the phone most often in the car, so with Bluetooth, it stays in her purse. I thought it was going to look ridiculous using it as a phone against your head, but it doesn't and I have to admit to loving the big screen, even if it's not for me, and the camera is awesome.

Have not noticed any lag, will be interesting to compare when my Moto X gets here. Does have a lot of dumb features, but turn them off and they stay off, no big deal.

And I think I like Touchwiz too. I have a vanilla android (4.3) Nexus 7 tablet and don't get all the hoopla over wanting a vanilla android experience. For updates and bloat it's a win, but some of the UI changes of do feel like improvements.

Personally, I want a pure or relatively pure Android experience because it's simple and clean. From there, I can modify the experience with apps, which is what I would prefer to do. TouchWiz just has SO MUCH going on. Simply pulling down the notification shade would constantly drive me crazy. So many of the other features would likely go unused by me, which I would also find annoying.
