Hope I didn't buy a phone that's orphaned almost as soon as I bought it...like my previous phone, the Droid 3.
I feel that may be out future. Rethinking buying moto dev phone now
Maxx'd out Kit Kat
Very disappointed that Google sold moto.. The maxx is definitely the best phone I've owned.

Sad news. I have to agree this maxx is easily the best I have ever owned. Since my og droid I had been dreaming of returning to moto and just when the time was right , poof.

Maybe Lenovo will slip up and a bootloader unlock will become available. Who knows?

Don't you think the sale is the reason that this phone is locked down so tightly? Seems like it would make the device more valuable to Lenovo.
I could be way off... or not.

Its more likely that verizon requested the lock-down. Their cool like that.

I just saw this on Engadget and came her to post it but found this thread first I myself think Motorola sucks and will get the gs3 if that is still the best option come February/March. The keyboard is really just a luxury for me I prefer on screen keyboards 90% of the time. What are others feelings on Motorola?
Okay, enjoy your ****ty locked bootloader.
If it has the S4 cpu it is mine as soon as my upgrade comes

Motorola phones should be getting better since google bought them. I know people that have a razr and all of them love it and it is fast. It's just their ui that's weird. I'm a sense or aosp guy. I keep sense on my 3d but I love aosp ics on my epic
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Hmm that looks nice. On screen keys smart. If the boot loader doesn't get locked down... I would think about it.

As one who really likes (needs) to have a physical keyboard, the big appeal for me is the 5th row of dedicated numerals. That was the deciding factor for me over the Evo shift that was available at the time. I would prefer another Samsung, and I would prefer an unlocked bootloader. But if something happened to my epic, and this was the only phone like this available, I would buy it.

For what it's worth, our Moto Rep told us about a month ago he had an inkling that their next flagship phone for us would be a QWERTY slider. Take that for what it is, but this would reaffirm it.

After getting burned by moto I was wary of buying another device from them but I got a good deal and a 3year contact moving up to the atrix when it was new, only to get burned even more.
Basically I'll never buy another moto device again and I'm sure most other people here won't either but would you if it was a nexus. To reiterate no I wouldn't.

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
Just as people are buying LG's Nexus phone (or trying because of small stock), I think people would buy a Motorola Nexus device as well as long as is good
Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
Hate to be that guy, but I can't take this seriously with a misspelling/typeo in the title of the thread. Please fix it.
I think many people even those who were busted with atrix would happily buy a moto nexus including myself.
Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
I agree, you don't buy a nexus phone for the manufacturer. You buy it because the support comes directly from Google. As much as I loathe Motorola right now, and wouldn't buy any other phone from them, a nexus device is a whole different ball game.

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
NO.
Just because I've been fooled once doesn't mean I'll avoid using their products. I can never find better build quality. I know their software support sucks. But the hardware is really the best. I'm glad to see they still support Droid Bionic which is a 2011 phones. Still schedule to receive JB this year. Atrix HD even is being tested JB 4.2.
No and this should be a poll...
Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
Well, Motorola's hardware IMO are great, the problem is the lack of software support, so, if the next nexus is a motorola I would definitely buy it :beer:
Sent desde mi MB860
Exactly. I am not unhappy with the Atrix, I am unhappy with the support.
If support is coming directly from Google, it would be perfect.
The Atrix is an absolute beast and it is a shame that Moto stopped supporting it.
If it is nexus you do not really need to care about the manufacturer...
it is going to be the first to receive updates official / unofficial and i guess running latest software is topmost priority most people on XDA

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
If Motorola made a Nexus and supported it like they did the Xoom, that would be great. The Xoom had vanilla Jelly Bean more than six months ago and it came out just before the Atrix.

I'm not sure Moto could pull off a true Nexus until they stop making Verizon such a priority (think of why the current Nexus has no LTE and recall the short-lived, but damaging Verizon GNex fiasco) . That being said, I would say the odds of me actually buying anything Moto again are next to none, unless they were to sell it at a substantial loss, only then I would consider it.
Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
It has to be better than samsung phones or at least with similar hardware and a lower price...

I would by one used a bit after they came out if reviews were good. 1st to get updates nice. Motorola repair center has been good to me. Out of 2 atrixes 1 was repaired under warranty and the other replaced twice under warranty. the fact the needed to be sent in on warranty goes against what I keep hearing about build quality. and I love my Samsung i717 running fully functional 4.1.2.
Damn, if this is coming out on Verizon tomorrow, Verizon isn't doing lg any favors. They don't know at the stores yet. Sometimes I think Samsung owns part of Verizon. They know all about note III. I'm a little disappointed at the lack of ANY buzz. Seems like only people who are hard core phone junkies have even heard about it

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/09/1...n-for-199-verizon30-discount-drops-it-to-140/
Now i made this conclusion based on this link:
500,000 from Late August to November.
http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/12/5097532/moto-x-only-500000-devices-reportedly-sold
900,000 in quater 1 2014 globally
http://www.cnet.com/news/motorola-to-shutter-texas-factory-building-moto-x/
Which equal 1.4 millions devices on Q1 2014,Q3 2013.
Now, Motorola or google want to sell it Texas factory what will the Moto x2 or Moto x+1 will look like?
As the deal is over by December of this year.
You guys posted and telling me or informed us with your opinion or conclusion to Motorola second devices that sell over million that they posted in sales figures since the original droid.
Samsung seeks over 10 mil and HTC half of that with much greater margins. It's all business, btw I don't think Google ever intended to ever keep Moto they just wanted the patents.

Google used Motorola I never wanted them to purchase in 2011. And , approval the purchase in 2012.
That the was the reason why they cancel HDMI and physical keyboard on their device too.

Actually if you think about it Moto was already doing horrible before Google bought them, it was only time before they cut jobs to stay alive. Google made smart decisions imo not everything Google does is good and Google didn't do this for charity but I believe it made Motorola phones matter again, before they bought them not too many people even considered Motorola as a potential phone.

all i know is VZW is locked so they better offer me the Dev Edition today when the regulars go on sale at 12noon central time. :fingers-crossed:
Just came here to check on this. Is there any info on if there will be a VZW Dev Edition? I assume price is $550 for 32gb version, which is a pretty penny but will be worth it.
Most likely will come out same time as unlocked version right? Sept 25th rumored?
Either no verizon de or a miscommunication.

Well, that's discouraging. I really hope they reconsider that decision.
I hope that information is wrong, total bummer if true.
The only real reason I need an unlocked bootloader is to tether (for free). I have unlimited and I use my hotspot to run my tablet a LOT.
Come'on Verizon!
man hold on..let the roll out start before we jump to conclusion about no VZW Dev edition.. there is no way they wont offer one. they made money this way last time. i bought at the damn 700 dollar range first day offered.

This will be the reason I'm going to leave VZW even though I still have unlimited data. What a crock [emoji35]
I found this though, but it might just be the unlocked version I posted about at the beginning
http://phandroid.com/2014/09/05/bootloader-unlocked-moto-x-2nd-gen-2014/
What did they say about the first generation developers edition when It was first announced? I'm hoping they are just giving Verizon a month or so head start with the standard version before releasing one. The first Google+ thread did mention that it was just "at this time".
I think Justin case unlocked the boot loader on the original X, maybe it will work for this one too
The newest bootloader on the original MX has yet to be broken, but I have saw talk of the firmware before the last update being include on Sunshine that @jcase created. Hopefully he will get a Verizon model when It is released.
Edit-I just realized that info in my post had already been posted

I bet Verizon is avoiding releasing a dev edition this year because they sold way more than they wanted to last year. For Verizon the less people with unlocked phones the better, that's how they see it anyhow.

I'm betting it was a choice made by Motorola. I bought a 2013 Dev edition about 2 weeks ago and it had a build date of January. If I'm getting January stock in August then it did not sale well at all. [emoji20]
