So far I installed 4.4 OTA update and Google Experience Launcher. Using ART runtime everything is smooth as butter and looks fantastic. I am in the process of cycling the battery and getting some general multimedia performance reviewed. Will keep updating with more things. A video review will by up on youtube soon.

One thing that I immediately noticed is that the screen is much more vivid than my iphone 5 and looking at them side by side the iphone 5 looks washed out. Color reproduction is excellent although needs a cooler color profile.

Also it feels extremely solid in the hand although heavier than the claimed 130g vs my iphone (113g + 12g case)

Congrats, I got my Moto X last week and have been really impressed with it so far. I really love the software on it, its the best performing android phone I ever had, and the extra touches moto has put on it are really nice. Hope you enjoy it.

Kind of a shame we don't get it in the UK.

The Moto G is here but not the X.

Got mine in yesterday, as well. I haven't had a chance to spend much time with it yet, but was wondering if anyone knew about "sleep".

I have the active display set to sleep from 11p-6a. I thought this was system-wide like iOS "Do Not Disturb" feature for all sounds. Obviously not as I was greeted by Gmail sounds. Is this feature somewhere on the phone, or is there an app I can get to accomplish this?

The X seems really great so far. Except that ridiculous "Moto" default ringer. Too funny.

use the moto assist app. It has the sleep function like "do not disturb." It is almost identical to the IOS version.

The sleep function in the main menu, the one you found, is just for the active display
