I would consider the MotoX as well. I'm not one to get carried away with phone specs, IOS and WP8 show that a quad core processor is not necessary for a smooth OS experience. And a 720p screen is perfectly fine for a phone - I actually prefer the smaller size of the MotoX. However having only 16gb available storage is rough so hopefully the One on Verizon has at least 32gb...otherwise the wait was for nothing.
