This is the new Droid Turbo, and it looks amazing

I think this is the underdog Android phone of 2014. If you like regular but still a bit bigger sized non phablet phones, IMO this is hands down the #1 best Android phone this year, and if Motorola made a GPE version of the Turbo, or a 'Developer edition' for GSM networks, that would make this possibly the best Android ever created.

I would have zero problem paying the full price $650 for a GPE version of the Turbo on GSM. Would be happier with something like that over the Nexus 6, due to the super sharp display this Turbo has, and huge battery that will easily power this beast all day long and most likely two days of battery life.

- 5.2" QHD 1440p display ( but with captivate keys makes it more like a 5.4" if this was Nexus )
- 565 ppi :eek: Crazy sharp and detailed screen
- 3,900mAh battery :eek: :cool:
- Snapdragon 805 :D
- 3GB RAM :D

I agree with you there. I would rather have this phone over the nexus 6 if it was a GPE.

Until Motorola proves they can put a decent camera into a phone I won't tough it regardless of any other specs they have.

Sure, but they really ought to redesign the Droid line already. I couldn't really think of an uglier phone on the market, and the OG Droid marketing was different and effective, now it's just annoying and outdated.

Bang on the nail. Moto G and Moto X are beautiful - this looks like the older Moto phones - square and VERY ugly. Reminds me of the Milestone (which was crap, despite all the rabid hype).
