Looking for a new phone for christmas (not iPhone)

Hello guys, the short version is that Im looking for a new phone for my birthday/christmas this year. 

 

I have been using iPhones since the first one but Im looking to try something different now. Im not sure about what other phone yet though, the only thing I know is that I dont want an HTC or a Samsung phone (I have some friends that have phones from them and they have had a bunch of problems). 

I have an Asus Nexus 7 tablet and after spending some time with it I have kind of burried my hatchet against andriod. Yet, I am more interested in a Win-phone but I think it has quite a bit of drawbacks and compatability issues at this time. Therefore I have been looking at the Moto X, and it looks like something worth taking a shot at, unless Im missing something. 

 

So, what would you guys be recommending?

Within the month is more reasonable for Google Play Edition phones. Nexus devices get updates within the week, if not within a couple of days (at least that is how it has been before Kit-Kat).

I'd get the g2. Anyhow, the HTC one and most of Samsung phones are awesome.
