Currently I use a Lumia 920. I'm considering a new phone and either way, I'll be buying it off contract (i.e. Pure Version if I go with Moto X).
I haven't used Android in a long time, and I'm aware it's got more apps than WP. I had some concerns about performance which were immediately put to rest once I was able to use the Moto X in an AT&T store, it was fast and responsive. However, I have a couple concerns regarding UI and other things.
1. Can I get the stock KitKat 4.4.4 Camera App from the Play Store? If I do, will I still be able to record Video in 4K?
2. How is the daylight visibility of this screen? I'm coming from a Lumia so obviously I know it will be slightly worse, but to me this is a pass/fail test, I don't care how much more visible the Lumia is in daylight, as long as text on the Moto X is legible in bright daylight I'll be happy.
3. I've heard issues about the Camera ... When I played with it in the store, I didn't notice any issues whatsoever. What exactly are people complaining about? Is there something I've missed?
4. White vs Black face? White face comes with an aluminum band, the black face comes with an (Anodized/Colored?) aluminum band. Are the edges of the phone more likely to scratch if it's anodized/colored aluminum? If this is the case, I'll definitely go with the white face.
5. Lastly, any tips for ordering? I hear there's a ridiculous wait time. Anything I can do to speed up the process? Ihear some people are creating FedEx accounts to get their phones quicker.
Thanks in advance!
