Not final, certainly, but for the time being, the Moto X is not going to be the everyday phone. Partly because I’m still having my iPhone wholly paid for by work, obviously, but also because I think we’ve finally got the battery issues under control – and because if I’m packing a second device it’s going to be the iPad mini.
Android 4.4.2 is fine. It’s not tangibly worse than iOS and there are some things about that Moto X that I really like. But the email client is awful, and since I don’t use Gmail or Google Calendar, the utility of Google Now is diminished quite a bit.
I think if I had to use the Moto as the daily driver, the rough edges could be filed off with a quickness. Or at least with some alacrity. Press and doubleTwist are solid and the Twitter client doesn’t suck nearly as much as it used to, and things like Instagram or Evernote work a treat. So it’s there if ever I need it, which is awesome.
But for now, I think I’m gonna dance with the one what brung me.
