New phone...

I just got my first smart phone (for work). I looked at the Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One (M8) and several others. iPhone is too dinky for my old eyes. I didn't like Samsung's Android overlay. Too gimicky. Ended up with a Motorola Moto X for cost reasons. I frickin' LOVE this phone AND it's the only "Made in the U.S. of A." phone so why not.

Though everyone's mileage will vary, I have found that Android is also very stable as long as you keep use it as is. I am on my third Android phone and second Android tablet, and have rooted all of them, changed just about everything that can be changed, and locked them all up and caused all of my own problems. Luckily I have been able to fix any of my experiments with them. I think that ability to "play" with them i sthe best and worst part of Android. It is a lot of fun and you can get far more control over what the phone will do and how it will do it then you get with an iphone, but you also open yourself up to lots of problems at the same time. I like the iphone, but it is far to restrictive for someone like me who wants to tinker

Agreed 100%. I love tinkering.. My old S3 was rooted, and I bricked it a few times, but got it back to life. This last time it went, I wasn't tinkering with it, and I can't get it to cooperate. I am very tempted to root the S5 I just got, but I think it's gonna stay stock... I don't need the drama LOL!

The MOTO X is made in USA? I thought Motorola outsourced their small electronics OCNUS years ago... where is it made?
 
Bored at work today, found this on the Moto X...

In an August 2013 interview, Motorola Corporate VP of product management Lior Ron explained that the company will focus on the production of fewer products to focus on quality rather than quantity. Ron stated, "Our mandate from Google, from Larry, is really to innovate and take long-term bets. When you have that sort of mentality, it’s about quality and not quantity".[SUP][48][/SUP]
Speaking at the D11 conference in Palos Verdes, California, in May 2013, Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside announced that a new mobile device will be built by his company at a 500,000 square-feet facility near Fort Worth, Texas, formerly used by Nokia.
