I have the first generation Moto G, which has served me quite well over the past year and a bit. Good build quality, cheap price, and decent aftermarket software support.

For those who are interested, my particular model (the XT1032) has working builds of Ubuntu Phone and Firefox OS -- so those are options if you aren't incredibly fond of Android. I'd recommend the device over a Moto X, simply due to the fact that the processor on the X is weird, and interesting alternative operating systems don't exist for it.

As far as the Nexus line of phones go, they're great for development (better than anything else really), but I'm not impressed with the pricing of the Nexus 6 (most people aren't). Rumour has it though that another Nexus 5 is due in October, hopefully with the familiar Google subsidised pricing.

Cheers,
Keefer
