I couldn't wait any longer to upgrade, so I just got a Moto X on One Up. Great 1900mhz LTE reception now, and hopefully good 800mhz voice reception when that gets turned on here. Since I got it on One Up, I should be able to pick from among a bunch of great triband phones in a year, and if they don't have 800mhz LTE going yet by then, I'll just wait until they do.

Just switched to the Moto X from the iPhone 5. Among all the devices I've used in recent history (which also includes the GS4 and HTC One), I noticed this to have the best LTE reception and call quality. This thing grabs LTE in more places and the signal strength is typically 2 to 3 dB stronger. Awesome...

It definitely holds onto LTE better than the Galaxy Nexus! Still thinking voice and EVDO performance is nearly identical to my OG Evo, though.

Battery life is excellent. I am getting 4-6 hours of screen-on time, easily double my OG Evo, if not more. The biggest difference I notice is with games. 30 minutes of gaming would drain my Evo battery by nearly 50%, but just 20% or less on the X. It's an incredible difference.

I've had a Moto X for a few days now, and it's an excellent upgrade from my OG Evo. RF performance seems similar when on Sprint's network, but it does tend to roam a lot more, requiring a stronger Sprint signal to switch back. This is a good thing for voice calls, and a bad thing for data performance--a mixed bag that I think I like better.

Unless you need to upgrade now, I would wait and get a Tri band phone.

I've been holding off on an upgrade for a while, and at this point am frustrated daily. I'm not interested in the G2, and it could easily be Q2 or later before a triband phone I like comes along. I could really make use of 800mhz voice now, or as soon as they turn it on here, so I'm thinking a Moto X on a One Up plan might be the way to go.

How is the RF performance of the Moto X on T-Mobile? Motorola always did an A+ job on radio performance for the Verizon devices I had, does that carry over to WCDMA/HSPA+ and LTE?

I'm curious about this too--particularly 1x performance.

I am ready to upgrade my OG Evo 4G, but don't want to take a step backwards in RF performance, like my wife's Galaxy Nexus! I also wonder how the 1x performance compares to the HTC One.
