Would like to hear from Droid Turbo owners. Would you buy the Droid Turbo again? Please share you experience and reason.

I think it is still too new for anyone to really make that determination. Come back on November 13th, the last day people who bought it at launch can return it, and ask the same question.

So far yes, but it's more out of the lack of competitive alternatives than the excellence of this phone. Everything is getting too big to hold, and aside from the Z3 I don't really like anything on the market right now, the day of the superphone has come and gone and we're back to the days of specialties. This guy is good at that, that guy is good at this but nobody is great at everything.

As of right now I don't have buyer remorse like I did with moto x 2014(return that for the turbo) but that might change by next week lol

I hate big phones. Yes, I bit the bullet. It's too large for comfortable one-hand use (the bane of all larger phones).

Other than that it's fantastic...assuming it at least gets root.

I would. My old eye balls like the bigger size and the keyboard is easier for me to use.
I liked my ex-wife after 3 days too. As others have said, "check with me sometime down the road"

Yes, definitely happy so far. For me this phone nailed the sweet spot between the second gen Moto X (battery too small) and the Nexus 6 (screen too big)

The 5.2" screen seems to be a great sweet spot. I liked the Moto X v1 but you lost screen real estate due to the onscreen buttons. It essentially made it a 4.3" screen. Love the feel of my G2. Perfect size. The turbo is on very slightly bigger than the G2.

G2 is definitely a nice size and feel... I didn't find the Turbo uncomfortable at all.. Should be easy to hold and use

I agree with the exception of one thing, to me the back button is on the wrong side. Statistically I use it 59753489% more than the multitask button and it's just out of the reach of my thumb with natural handling. That is one thing that I'd change first aside from the missing quality camera.

That was one nice thing about the G2. You could change the button layout.
