droid turbo

Anyone have one? I've got one on the way, and am excited.
Went with the ballistic nylon , as I preferred the look.

The battery life should by amazing!

Of course you are getting one you phone whore!

I'm probably getting one instead of a nexus 6. Probably going to edge up my Note 3 for it.

This will probably be released on other carriers as the Moto Maxx...

I'm done with Verizon's pricing after this contract...

I'm well pleased with it. The battery is great, and the screen is fantastic.

I've not been able to find much difference in the price among national carriers.

That's said, I also carry a phone with a straight talk Sim, its worth it imo. The price is great, and the coverage is the same as att

I'm heading Moto X Play in the US for the "not on VZW" name.

Moto Maxx is being used in Latin America.

Promising...

Have had it a day or so. Love it.

Loving it as well.

I also picked up a 2014 moto g for my straight talk account. For the money, that's as impressive as the turbo. Got it new on amazon contract free for $151.

Thanks for the feedback guys...

Now I have to debate the GSM version and the Nexus 6.

More I use the g the more I'm impressed by it. Obviously not top tier like the turbo, but just good enough for the money with pure android. Its like 80% of the phone for 20% of the money.

Yeah its a good phone, but didn't Moto take a step backwards with the gen 2 G? If memory serves gen 1 had LTE and Gen 2 does not.

The internals are largely the same, but with the gen 2 you get a 5 inch screen versus the smaller 4.7 and an upgraded camera.

Yes and no. The original Moto G did not have LTE. Not initially.
They later came out with the same model with LTE capability added.

The newest one does not have it, although I assume like last time they will come out with a midpoint model with that being the only change.

For my uses on straight talk, LTE was not an issue as I am on the ATT network and they do not offer it here anyway.
It does get HSPA+ which gives me around 12 mbps down and 1.5 up. More than enough for my needs, although nowhere close to approaching what I get with Verizon LTE which hits 50+ down and 15-20 up regularly.
