I really like my Nexus 9 tablet and had been considering a Nexus series phone, but they're so BIG. Like, my soon-to-be-former phone is at the edge of what I consider a good size (HTC One, 5.5" x 2.75"), and the Moto X is slightly larger than that. A friend has one, and I held it a minute, and it wasn't bad.
The thing that makes the One unwieldy is that the power button is on top, so I have to be able to hold the bottom still while pressing the top, and my hands are exactly that big. The X has it on the side, which is easier to deal with. I mean, yes, I have pretty big hands for a woman my size (my fingers are as long as Ben's, and he's 8" taller than me), but it's still awkward to turn my phone on one-handed. Or to type with the thumb of the same hand I'm holding it with.
