Droid Turbo

I've never really been a fan of the Motorola line at Verizon but this looks like it may be something to consider.

Depends how much you use it. I really don't use it too much these days, wifi everywhere. But it is nice to have on occasion.

i agree right now im in a family plan with two other ppl, I have unlimited they have 2gb we can basically get 30GB for only about $7 more per line and i cant imagine ever going over 30. Plus that would make using verizon edge worth it.

The design isn't appealing at all, to say the least.

The Droids have never been good looking phones, IMHO. The internals are what differentiates them.

I think im going to hold off a few days until we get some actual reviews of the battery life and such. If all looks good i may order it early next week.

Yup, but I'm currently using a 1st gen Moto X with 16GB. So 64GB for $249 sounds pretty great to me. :)
