Even though I have always loved Motorola phones I have stayed away from them ever since they started locking the bootloaders. The only exception is the Razr HD MAXX that I own now but that was only because I was able to use Dan's unlock method to rid myself of the locked BL. I love this phone...my next phone would probably be the Motorola X if its unlocked and at 300 dollars off contract.

Hardware buttons? No thank you.

The hardware buttons don't bother me actually. With a 5" screen not being intruded by a nav bar, it will feel a lot bigger.
Very curious to test the performance of the new q8 processing. 8 cores dedicated to specific things. I'm sure it's fast.
Funny story I received an email from Verizon corporate regarding the new droid lineup and figured I'd call around to some stores. They were all confused thinking I was asking to test a Droid razr maxx, and that they had all been taken down last year upon release of the droid razr hd and maxx. I had to repeat my story five times until I blatantly said "sometimes you guys get new phones a few weeks before they are released, do you have a new droid ultra test unit available?!"
They all had no clue of what model I was even referring to. I'm sorry but if I worked at verizon I would know about what's coming out. It's not like I was asking about the iPhone 6 release date, sheesh

The Droid Maxx looks quite nice and would suffice for me.
As I live in Europe I hope it will get released here (hope it will be?!) quite soon.
The Maxx seems to fullfill all my needs:
big battery
5" 720p - I'm not so much into 1080p(performance & battery drain)
decent enough hardware
optimized for long battery life
camera will be okay enough for my needs
price below 300€
:good:
Finally I think I will get rid of my galaxy s plus :fingers-crossed:

I'm skipping the Razr Ultra/Maxx lineup.
Not enough of an upgrade from the HD.
Marginal improvements and nothing great. At least not for my "full retail" dollar.
I'm looking at the HTC One or something else later.

Same here. I like the wireless charger, had it with a D3, and the extra battery life is always welcome, but for me there isn't enough reason to spend $700. If I were buying a new phone on contract, yea, I'd get it.
I'm waiting to see if this is the same as the X phone and if that turns out to be half the price as rumored. Motorola cutting an exclusive deal with Verizon seems to throw the whole "Don't be evil" thing out the window. My Xoom LTE still hasn't been updated and that's a Nexus device!

The problem, I see is that the X might not be coming to Verizon.
It may be on all *OTHER* carriers as not to compete on the same network. IIf the X is $300, I may for it. Then again if we get the HTC One on Verizon, I'll just keep checking Swappa and see what comes up.
Seems like to get the build quality I want, I have to give up on the SD slot.

Initially I got excited about the DROID MAXX, but then some specs came out saying that none of the new DROIDs have microSD card slots. That is a big feature for me. I am a music-phile and I currently use up most of my 64GB SDcard on my RAZR HD.
Hopefully the Moto X does have an SD Card. otherwise I will think about eventually upgrading to something not Motorola.

I won't ever downgrade to a phone that doesn't have an SD card slot or softkeys. Unless that phone has 64+ gigs of internal memory.

What do you have saved on your phone that can't be accessed from the cloud? Even downloading entire seasons of TV shows I'd have a hard time filling up my phone now with stock memory.

It's not what but when those things can be accessed from the cloud that is the problem. The majority of my free time is spent in areas with little to no service. My work also puts me in areas with little to no service. Plus, If one does not have unlimited data then its not practical to stream music and videos when you are on the go.

Even if we had a connection all the time and unlimited data, streaming (especially 4G) eats battery like crazy. There's the cost as well, you either have to buy the media from the cloud provider or pay for the space. For movies and music you already own a cheap SD card (and a slot to put it in) is a much better solution. HTC has abandoned the SD and Moto seems to be headed that way. Looks like my next phone might be a plastic a$$ Samsung.

As an Atrix HD owner with the advertised "Unlimited" 2GB AT&T Data Plan....streaming isn't even an option. Tried that once, could only stream 4 hours of video before hitting an overage charge.
How the hell can they legally be allowed to say "Unlimited Data" in big words across the screen then put 2GB in the fine print??? I guess it sounds better than "Unlimited Access to our Networks with Fees incured after the 1st 2GB then a $10 raping every 1GB after that...."
//Yes, a full 4.7GB Linux Live DVD costs an AT&T user $20 with about 300mb left before another overage charge....

Unless many new phones come out with SD Card slots I'd imagine many are going to be sticking with their current phones for longer. And to be honest, there isn't much of a reason to upgrade anyway. On the bright side, HTC has the Butterfly S they just released.
2gb RAM,
5 inch 1080p screen,
1.9Ghz Snapdragon 600
Android 4.2.2
And.......SD Card Slot.

If I HAVE to replace my Maxx HD id get the maxx. Locked bootloader sucks, no SDcard sucks, but damnit, I can not go near a phone that has battery life of most of todays phones. After suffering through the Galaxy nexus's absolutely retarded battery its just not gonna happen. I used to keep 3 EXTENDED batteries with me on that thing, now I dont even have to worry about it.

Is the Moto X still worth it?

I have my upgrade this week on Verizon, I've been taking a very serious look at the moto X. Motomaker is one of the coolest things on the scene, as well as some of the moto specific features such as active display. The specs just worry me a tad bit when I put it up against something like a G2 which is in the same price range. Many say the specs on this phone are not a indicator of performance, and I actually like the feeling of the Moto X compared to all the other phones I've tried. So should I just throw my spec worry to the wind?

This phone can easily do anything you want it to do. Hardware specs are not a key decision factor here. It is powerful enough.
Sent from my XT1053 using Tapatalk

Don't focus on the specs! I just left a Note 3 and switched to the Moto X ... Don't regret it one bit!
Tapatalked via my moto x

I just did. Came from the HTC One about a week ago and no regrets! No difference in performance on daily tasks and Active Display is the best new feature I've seen in a long time. I did go with the Developer Edition though.

Maybe read the 20 other similar threads....lots of opinions there that I'm sure many aren't going to repeat again.

Got mine a few days ago. The phone is fantastic. It may have modest hardware, but the stock ROM runs great on it.

Best phone I have owned!
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app

I would stay its still worth it because the price has done down too. Its a great phone and runs fast and smooth but its also a good deal at almost half the price of the other flagships of its generation..

This has been the best device I have purchased in my four years on android phones. I've had the GS4 and HTC one and this phone IMHO performs just as good if not better.
Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk

Don't focus on the spec's. Focus on how it performs. My X performs great. Despite having a Samsung Galaxy S4 in my drawer for work that I could stick my personal SIM in and use, I PURCHASED a Moto X Developer Edition for Verizon in early November (two days before the first price drop, when there was no other option to get 32gig X on VZW).
Also keep in mind, if you plan to root, the Moto Maker and retail Verizon Moto X have a locked bootloader which can not be unlocked. While SlapMyMoto 1.0 works to root phones on 4.4, It has a few steps, including flashing older roms first, etc. In reading this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538896&page=69 there are reports that root can survive the 4.4.2 update, but it appears the "write protection disable" provided by MotoWpNoMo doesn't survive. Therefore the Developer Edition Moto X for Verizon, which can have its bootloader unlocked and is quicker/easier to root, might be worth looking at.

I have always been about the latest and greatest smart phone and wanted the best specs. When I got the X, I was skeptical. I am now a true believer in that the greatest specs are not needed. Go for the X.

Mine is arriving tomorrow con UK!!, I'm ****ing excited!!. I bought even know in Lenovo bought Motblablabla!!, I don't care I have MotoG and happy to have it so I don't wanna think tomorrow when I'll get MotoX between my hands on!!

Agree with all previous comments - I'm coming from a HTC ONE X, X+, ONE, and even a Sony Xperia ZL in regards to recent phones and the Moto X for some reason just makes me
The HTC ONE was really good in terms of Android phones and the build quality is still impressive. However, in terms of every day use, snappiness, battery life, integration of core services - the Moto X is nearly perfect (in regards to today's phones). Things can be always improved on any phone (screen if you need text to be razor sharp / camera if you are a vampire that only takes pics at night), but considering all the promos and the decent support from Motorola to keep their customers happy - it's worth taking the risk and seeing if you like it (not to mention you can always return it)!
There is paranoia from people regarding the Lenovo deal - who cares. I'm in the tech industry and will probably have a new phone next year anyways. If the Moto X2 is awesome I'll buy it even if it's owned by Lenovo. If something else is better, then they'll get my business. Who cares - just enjoy what we have now that is awesome...and that awesomeness is the Moto X.
Note: I was not paid by Moto to reply LOL

Buy the Moto X
I bought two Moto X's and can say unequivocally that they are the best phones I've ever had - and I've had cell phones from the very beginning. Don't focus on the specs - focus on the user experience. The size, performance, battery life and feature makes the X a first-rate product.
Plus, building it on MotoMaker is really cool.

I say do it unless you can hold out til the end of Summer for the "X2" lol. I left the N5 for this when I got in on a promo for it over the holidays. This is my favorite Android phone so far and I've had a lot! Nexus S, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S3, HTC One, Nexus 5, and probably others I am forgetting lol. The extra features like Active Display, Touchless Controls, and "Drive Mode" are super cool. This phone performs just fine given the "midrange" specs and the fact I customized the colors to my liking makes me like it even more.

I love my moto x and believe that it's worth the money to purchase outright without a contract. With a family of 5, I've had a LOT of "flagship" phones. After receiving my Moto X, I'm thinking about giving my S4 to my 14yr. old son and buying another Moto X for my business line.

I'm debating the moto x too...I might need a new phone cause mine is bricked but i cant help and think a new generation of phones are coming out soon

Best phone I have owned. Very snappy. Love all the extras, like twist to open camera - no more tapping away to get a picture.

Who else plans to get Turbo'd!

I've been holding out for a while now, hanging onto my Droid DNA, for the next best thing to come out for Verizon.
Was not impressed by the Galaxy S5. M8 was a no go because of the camera suckage. Nexus 6 is just too large for my taste. Almost went for the Moto X, until I heard about the Droid Turbo, and decided to hold off, and now I'm very happy I did
So who else plans to order this baby on the 28th with me?
Red or Black? I'm leaning Red!

I really want to preorder a black one on the 28th, but I know logic will prevail and I'll decide to wait a week or so for reviews/issues. Then I'll go to buy one and they'll be out of stock.

I have a feeling a lot of people will be coming from the DNA as it came out two years ago in November. I almost bought a g3 but the battery life scared me. I am so glad I waited.

Also from the RAZR HD/M line, like me from my M

I'll be buying a red Turbo and retiring my Maxx HD the day it comes out. I just hope root isn't too far off, since I'm going to miss Xposed.

Definitely getting one of these! Have my trusty DNA still, had an upgrade since March, just waiting for the right device. S5 - no. M8 - bad camera. G3 - almost; battery reports kept me away, along with rumors of the new MotoX. MotoX (2014) - disappointed in specs. Xperia Z3v - maybe... Turbo - check.
Now to decide on red or black...

the Turbo will be replacing my Droid Maxx..I'm currently leaning towards red

I need to get some more information about this phone, but it looks like a good phone to upgrade into!

I'll be replacing Razr Maxx HD most likely with this new Turbo. Still in the air over color but right now edge is to the red one but have to actually see it in person. Is the 28th just an annoucement about the phone or is it actually being released on that date and available for pick up??

Only getting if it's rootable

Well I was REALLY looking at the Nexus 6....but the size and price tag has me rethinking. It will come down to the Turbo, Nexus and Moto X. I am pretty much done with Samsung for now, so my S3 will be retired. If I get one it will be a black one.
Any guesses on the cost?

I am an international traveler (from time to time) and I need my phone to work with GSM. I know this red beauty does, and because it does... theoretically I can use my AT&T sim card in the US, cannt i? So the only question I need someone to answer me is... will it be available to Non-verizon users?

Why is everyone switching from Droid Turbo to Moto X? I think Droid Turbo is far superior than Moto X 2014 but never used a turbo so I'm not sure.

I guess the major reason is that we dont have root on droid turbo and moto x already got lollipop. I did thought about that too until i tested the droid has way better camera compare to the x

Much better camera and much better battery but from every review I have seen, camera takes a 1 second pause after taking a pic which is not the case with Moto X 2014. I don't care about root personally but camera taking 1 second between pics could be a deal breaker

I dont see any issue, that 1 second pause issue was the hdr, if you turn it off, i dont have issue at all. Also, i guess droid use hdr a lot more than x because of the sensor it use on turbo.

May have to stop by at a Verizon store and switch to Verizon from AT&T then. Hopefully selling X will cover some of the bill that AT&T will send after numbers are ported lol.
Thanks man.

Yeah, go ahead and take a look, try it and see how it perform first. It is always the best idea to try it by yourself.

Exactly.

Well you had my curiosity now you have my attention. Lets talk business. What exactly do you propose?

If you're giving up the Turbo to get an X on lollipop, you're making a big mistake. Stock X lollipop is horrible. It has terrible memory leaks and stutters worse than any phone I've ever owned, even early model Samsung androids with their proprietary file system that was so bad.
I'm in no rush to get lollipop on my Turbo and I wish could go back to KitKat on my Pure Edition X.

If you want I can customized your MOTO X, just trade nothing more

Good luck. Having owned both, the Turbo is "better" in the sense that it has a bigger battery and wireless charging. The rest of the specs are fairly meaningless to me. The Moto X 2014 is a very nice, slim, device with all of the software features. 5.0 is a tad buggy, but not a showstopper for me. So, if you are looking for a lighter and slimmer device with 17 hours of battery life, the Moto X is a great device.

Droid Turbo 2 vs. Nexus 6p

So I'm assuming these are the two big phones that are in the spotlight at the moment. Both have their pros and cons, one gains what the other one lacks and vice versa. Which do you believe is the superior device?
Both contain the Snapdragon 810, 3GB RAM and a Quad HD screen so they should be virtually the same, performance wise.
Pros of Nexus 6p:
Android M right right out of the box
Pure Android experience with the quickest updates (we know how long other brands take to update)
Finger print scanner
USB type C
Cheaper price
Very clear AMOLED display
Unlockable bootloader
Pros of Droid Turbo 2:
"Shatterproof Display"
Micro SD card (finally!)
Moto Maker (ability to customize your phone)
Larger battery
Flash on the front facing camera (pretty cool)
Wireless charging
Specs based on personal preference:
Screen size(5.7 on the 6p vs. 5.4 on the DT2)
Camera (21 MP on the DT2 vs. 12.3 MP on the 6p)
POLED(which everyone seems to be complaining about) on the DT2 vs. AMOLED on the 6p
The locked bootloader on the Turbo 2 has me nervous because I took a gamble with the original Turbo and, luckily, we ended up getting a decent way of rooting the phone; I don't know if I can take that risk again. Not only that, but Motorola really broke our trust with its claims of the original Turbo getting lollipop "before the end of 2014". What a joke that was. All we felt were pain and broken promises.
I do miss having an external SD card so that is the one thing that is leaning me towards the Turbo 2, but I wish they could just take the best qualities of both phones to make the ultimate superphone.
Which do you think is the superior device?
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app

Superior, 6p hands down. Outside of the battery and possibly the camera the 6p beats the Turbo2 in most measurable areas, including portability and unlock-ability.
For me I am looking for a device with a very large battery, so this is at the top of my list. I also still have a 2 year contract so with the subsidy I am hoping it will be a reasonable price.
That all depends on the display. I need to see one in person to make sure the display will be good for me as I have also seen a lot of mixed reviews, mostly negative.

How is the 6p better for portability? The turbo 2 is physically smaller, which means more portable to me.
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

He probably means rooting/roming.

Or between carriers. Turbo 2 being VZW exclusive, even if it gets unlocked BL (unlikely!) ever, probably minimal dev support.
The big downfall, personal to me, of the 6P is size. I just dont want a phone that large.
I love my current Turbo. just not convinced this is enough of a spec bump to upgrade though. will have to see it in person I guess

Not only that, but Motorola really broke our trust with its claims of the original Turbo getting lollipop "before the end of 2014". What a joke that was. All we felt were pain and broken promises.
I do miss having an external SD card so that is the one thing that is leaning me towards the Turbo 2, but I wish they could just take the best qualities of both phones to make the ultimate superphone.
Which do you think is the superior device?

Just look for the Moto X Force, is the international version of the Turbo 2.

I wanted the nexus 6p. But I dont have almost 700 bucks for the 64gb plus the insurance. Me and my gf just switched from T-Mobile to Verizon. I choose the droid turbo 2. I've never had a droid device before. It seems nice and I don't need a case on my phone since the screen won't shatter. Plus Verizon gave me 300 dollars for a trade in. Half went to my droid turbo 2 and the other half went to my gfs note 5. But the payments are much easier to do then to come up with almost 700 up front for a phone.
