I can relate. My wife has the 32g iPhone and reserved the 64g iPhone 6 today.

Motorola Reveals Specs and Features for the New Moto X
- Thread starter dgstorm
- Start date
Well, once again a phone larger than I wanted (two front speakers only adds to the bulk)....and no SD and I really don't want to shell out for a phone with only 2gigs of ram.
I think I'm at the point where I actually need a new phone, but will probably grab a discounted original Moto X (supposedly going on sale tomorrow for $199).

Like, 2 phones have more then 2GB of RAM. ?!?!?!
And 2 is pretty good for any modern phone today.
I do think it's funny that Moto said about the first MotoX (and still says on the main MotoX page):
It just fits
We think your phone should actually fit your hand, not the other way around. So we went ahead and made one that does just that.

Err.... so what happened with Gen2????

That's likely to change this holiday season. 2gigs of ram is very likely to be marginal, at best, in a year or two just like 1 gig is and was.
I'm convinced holding back ram and storage is tacit "collusion" to drive people to upgrade every 2 years. Instead they "invest" the money in megapixels and dpi that have gone well past the point of any marginal utility to the consumer, but those features won't leave you're phone a laggy and buggy mess (driving you to upgrade) as the OS and apps become more power/resource hungry.
$200? Believe that (aka buy that) when I see it.
Supposedly, for the Moto X+1 it's $500 retail and $99 on contract. I can't see any reason I'd want to pay $300 more for this over the discounted original Moto X.
What cracks me up is all the mid/low tier phones with 8gigs of storage or less require and so get an SD slot. I'd rather have 8gigs of storage with an SD card supporting 128gigs. It's almost comical to sell a high-end phone with 16gigs of non-expandable storage - OS, apps, data & cache are chewing up 5-6gigs in most cases. I have a handful of reader apps downloading several gigs a week of content for offline reading (which is a great way to save on data caps, although I'm unlimited).
I'm wondering about the camera. Not so much the clarity but the resolution size. 13 MP??? Really??? Why? The original Moto X ( which I currently have) is 10 MP and I think that is a bit much. If the new X has selectable resolution on the camera, great! I wish the original X had that...but instead I'm "stuck" with this massive picture resolution which, if I want to send a picture text to someone, it takes a bit longer than it should.
Its time phone manufacturers give up the megapixel "war" and focus on image quality and file size of the images. I really don't need to be printing poster-size prints from my cell phone.

Love the front facing speaker. Why manufacturers still make rear facing speaker phones is beyond me.
