Whats to debate?
Uhh, how about; What functionality is it missing compared to moto g? What makes it less for your money?
As far as I can tell its more for less. It costs less, has more memory and has more ram.
Been using this all day. Very interesting, BlinkFeed like launcher. Need to give it more time for full judgement though.
A factory reset might help

When is Sony going to release a decent phablet or should I say a normal size phone. 5.2" is today's flip phone more or less.
Thanks. Its a great idea if you use social networking sites. Sadly I don't use any. I just have an empty screen.
I thought it would be a blinkfeed clone.
I find the social network stuff a bit overwhelming. I wish it was just notifications or something that cropped up, rather than your entire feed in a 15 min + interval. I logged out of them all on the launcher because I was already tired of seeing all the Instagram selfies and tweets.

Sony Xperia Z3. The next ultra which may be called the Z4 Ultra is your best bet at an ultra.
I plan on doing the same whenever my moto G gets lollipop. I'd rather do a factory reset than try to find ways to fix potential problems after a upgrade.
I wonder how well this launcher will run on a Moto G?
I guess you're right. I'll try it out and see if I like it. Although it seems to be geared more towards people who are active on twitter/facebook etc.
I've used the first invite so thanks a lot for sharing.

Interesting concept. Akin to a UI interface I'm working on. >
You better share when you're finished.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I've been using this for the past couple days. It's nice.
My goal is to pitch it to MS, Google or Apple. I've got a few connections I can pull to get an audience but we'll see.
Better than my N5's, to be honest. That's not too sharp. Compared to a Samsung, sure.

Just downloaded. This is dope
Nice look, but since it "connects to everything that matters" then lists a bunch of servces I barely use, it's less functional than my homescreen of shortcuts, alarm and Google Play Music.
Installed, need an invite.
Update: got a code from their twitter account in case anyone else is looking
Yep, no local calendar, tasks, gmail, news or g+ integration? Really? Right now everything is either odd tweets or instagram selfies. Not very useful, although it's pretty.
Agreed, and I actually connected every service you can. Just not very useful.
I thought the same thing then I switched back to the Google Launcher. In theory it's great. I think I'd like it more if it was more of a notification type of thing rather than every single feed just thrown together.

Nexus 4 upgrade?
I'm month to month with T-Mobile. Don't really want to go on plan again. Any screen over 5 inches is too big.
What are my options?
Would rather not spend over 400$

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Still never got that $20 free credit people were getting via Chromecast even though it was bought before the promo.
Oh well I did cop that free copy of X-men digital.

Just get a Nexus 5. It's just 5" so it's at the top end of your size, but it's not over it. Plus it's in your price range, and the hardware is still a massive step up from the N4.
That video is of no help to him because of his specific criteria.
Nexus 5? 2013 Moto X?

You can get a GSM unlocked GS4 for under $400 or a 2013 Moto X for under $300.
You've pretty much limited yourself to the Nexus 5
Gotta agree with the Nexus 5 recommendations. I got mine back in August and I still have no complaints with it.
It does everything I need it to do and I'm in no hurry to upgrade anytime soon.

I was this close to getting an M8 yesterday (could get a crazy good deal), but decided not to. I know I'm gonna sound crazy, but looking at htc's current smartphone design on all their various devices, I just can't accept that big ass bezel on all sides. The bottom in particular is ridiculous. There's no need for that much wasted space for a tiny, unnecessary ass logo.
