My Motorola order just turned up in the East Midlands DHL depot at 2100...

Hopefully out for delivery this morning or the 24th :)
 
Ordered my 64Gb direct from Moto last Wednesday and its now:

Arrived at Delivery Facility in TEESSIDE - UK 07:04

Hopefully it will be out for delivery today and i can return the 32Gb to CWH tomorrow.
 
Choose the 10GB data / 4G ready / Unlimited texts / unlimited minutes which is £69.99 up front and monthly £15.00.

So £15 x 24 = £360 + £70 is £430.

I got mine on refresh for £360 the week they where in stock.

£15 x 24 no upfront. This was with an 8gb tarrif
 
Those who have got theirs, how easy/difficult is it to use one handed?

Impossible. :o But I'm used to it now. For the guys who are waiting in anticipation, I want to stress that the camera is very good in low light with HDR. IMHO.
 
Reasonable considering it's a 6” phone :)

Also depends on the size of your hands? As the sides of the phone are tapered it feels a lot thinner than it actually is which definitely helps with one handed use :)

Ha thanks guys, really need to get into a store to try one out then! Will have to wait until Feb when I'm back in the UK I guess
 
Got my 64Gb Blue :)
Unlocked, Rooted, Decrypted, reinstalled all backup up apps with data using Ti and up and running within 45min.

Now time to factory restore the 32GB and hand it back to CWH tomorrow for a refund.
 
Interested to know your thoughts... :)


An excellent comparative review as per usual, Andy!

What do you and other owners of the Nexus 6 think of the antenna sensitivity compared to the Galaxy Note 4, Nexus 5, HTC One M7 and M8, Moto X 213 and 2014 and other phones? I'd be most interested in reception on EE. It seems that 'Phone info' can be obtained by dialling *#*#4636#*#* to open the 'Testing' menu, and then the 'Phone information' submenu. The Network Mode can also be set to 'LTE only' for those who wish to use the phone as a data-only device.

shaank remarked that the Nexus 5 has poorer reception than the HTC One M7 in the same flat on the same network ( http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=26975115 ). However, I saw a Reddit thread ( http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2byp97/why_does_no_one_anywhere_test_actual_phone/ ) linking to a FierceWireless / Signals Research report stating that the Moto X 2013 received a stronger signal than the Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy Note II, LG G2 and HTC One. Other users have also praised the signal strength of the Moto X 2013 ( http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1pt0pn/i_get_poor_signal_strength_at_work_if_i_am/ ) and the new Huawei Ascend Mate7 ( http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2q2unk/i_own_the_huawei_ascend_mate_7_ama/cn3f1uk ).

I've tried many phones so I can help you out a bit.

The Note 4 has fairly lousy reception: it's not as horrific as that of the Note 3 but it is significantly worse than the Moto X (2013), which is the best Android phone I have tested for reception thus far.

The HTC One (original) and M8 both have fairly good reception. Definitely above average.

The Xperia Z3 has some of the best reception out of any phone I have tested, it looses just to the Moto X (2013) which is slightly better.

The Moto X (2014) is slightly worse than the 2013 Moto X but not a lot.

The Nexus 5 has average reception.
