I had planned on waiting for the Nexus 6 but I've just dropped my S3 so need a replacement fast - it's my business phone too.
The obvious choice would be an Nexus 5 (although I'd need to wait another day for delivery), anything else I should consider? Mostly used for internet browsing, email, and phone.

Moto G, then replace it with the Nexus 6 when it comes out?

Tick. Nexus 4 here and wife's MotoG doesn't seem to have any disadvantages over it.

Moto G. The only thing that irks me a bit about mine is it can't do photosphere, and for the price it's hard to get too upset about that!

Moto G looks good but I think I've come to a deal with the wife were I buy a HTC Mini 2 and she can then 'buy' off me in a a couple of months when her current contract ends.

I have Moto G 4G, only £150 on amazon, really nice screen, fast, and on a sim only deal of £7.50 a month!

Moto G 4G, wasn't sure about it at first as I had an HTC One S before but the more I use it the more I like it. Camera is the weak point. Can't complain at £150

How does the camera in the Moto-G compare to, say, a Nexus 4 or a Galaxy Nexus? Spec-wise, the 3G version's pretty much a Nexus 4 with 1GB of RAM instead of 2, which makes it better than my current Galaxy Nexus. If the camera's reasonable, I think it'll be my next phone.

2nd Gen Moto G just out with an improved camera (8 Mega pixels vs 5 in the 1st Gen). Dual Sim too.

No 4G version yet and limited internal memory but it does take a memory card.

No real disadvantage of my Moto G 4G over my Nexus 4.
Main advantage is a battery life that can be measured in days even when used heavily compared to the single digit hours of the N4.

Screen is smaller, so it's easier to use one-handed. Micro-SD slot taken up by a 32gb card, too.

Not bothered too much about the camera.

If you download the Google camera app from the play store you can photosphere to your hearts content.
