Hey everyone,
I'm considering to buy a new Phone. My current phone is the HTC Desire, which I use for about 2.5 years now.
Would your recommend buying a Nexus 4 now or is it worth waiting for the X-Phone or the next Nexus device? Some sources claim, that we will see those devices around June, after Google's developer conference. I definitely want a pure Google device.
The thing that is holding me back is that it we are about to allot new gen devices in the near future, with the new iteration of specs. (1080p display, Snapdragon 600 and 800...) So it seems to be a good idea to wait another 3 months or so...
What do you think?
Newer technology is always around the corner, you will wait forever if you always wait for the Next Big Thing. How easy will it be to get one of these as-yet-unreleased phones, and how much will they cost?
The N4 is available right now, at a bargain price, and will be a big step up from your Desire ...

After Upgrading from a HTC Desire Z, my only regret is that i didn't buy it sooner.
I got mine from T-Mobile free after 50 dollar Mir.

I think that all of those devices will be non nexus, bloated, at the mercy of the Manufacturer devices. And for what? More processing power to view your email? The screens may be nice tho. I don't see why you'd need 1080p on a less then 5in screen tho...
After owning this phone three weeks. I can't see going back to a carrier bloated samsung, HTC, or moto phone.
Look at the galaxy nexus, last year's hardware and it's still one of the smoothest and fastest phones because of pure android. The nexus 4 will hold its value too, it's only 349, don't buy the 8gb. You can always sell on ebay if you don't like it and come out even right now and I have a feeling n4 will keep selling on ebay for close to what you pay from Google. The only issues I have with the n4 is the camera is just not as good in poor lighting as my s3 was, other than that it's great. It's the best deal in Tech. Compared to the desire it's going to be ridiculous.

The right time is now OP. As others have said there is ALWAYS a newer phone with more impressive specs around the corner. With that mindset you will be waiting forever. I realize you dont want to buy the nexus 4 now and a few weeks later the next nexus device is announced. eh "such is life" OP
I'm pretty happy with mine. I'm coming from a Bionic.
I still probably will consider the x phone but this is certainly a solid enough device that I won't feel the need to jump ship the day it is released.

I just got mine on Tuesday (ordered Saturday) to replace my Galaxy Nexus - best decision I've made as the higher DPI alone makes it better IMO
OK, 1080p screens are nice and that but I don't need it as I don't watch films/play games on my phone
Sv: Right time to buy a Nexus 4 or wait?
It's the right time, upgraded from a nexus one. So i recommend nexus 4. A real catch in my eyes. ^^,

This is now looking increasingly likely.
I'll post the original thread from the moto G forum.
But to summarise:
Moto have announced a press event in the UK on Jan 14 for a 'new addition'
And on the moto website under jobs, they are advertising for a project manager for motomaker UK
Pretty convincing arguments I'd say. Woo Hoo

Love this to happen. However I don't think it will be a full blown Moto Maker yet. I don't think they got the infrastructure yet for it. Maybe a few colours and no personalisation on the back.
I do hope the price is good as well. Maybe £329 for 16GB and £369 for 32GB. Think that will be awesome.

I went to buy the Nexus 7 today on the site and it was gone. Hmm so I called and the rep told me that is was no longer in the system. Said it looks like that will not carry it. So the only Android tablet the have now is the Samsung Galaxy tab 3 eww.
They will have the Note 10.1 2014 soon and likely the new nexus a bit further out.

silver lining?
I noticed that the other day - I was struggling to keep myself from buying one, since the new Nexus tablet is probably arriving in a month or 2. I'm actually sort of glad T-mobile made the decision for me.
I was really considering getting one from them. Then I saw a like new used one for 210. Score!
Well if a new nexus 10" comes out with LTE, I know I will be selling my unlocked 7"

I bought the Boost Mobile Moto G at Target for $60. I unlocked the boot loader, flashed the Verizon 4.4.2 ROM and modified it to work on Page Plus. It's activated and working great. Last night I did the OTA update to 4.4.4. Plan to give it to my mother. Nice little phone.

Here in India they released via Flipkart. G was released before X here. And so I had to sell my G as I've always dreamed of getting a X Woodback..

Just sold my 3 week old LG G3 on ebay before I threw it against the wall. With the proceeds I bought a new to the market tablet which is an Acer Iconia Tab 8 (Beautiful full HD, 2gb ram, very speedy Intel Atom quadcore processor :laugh, a lovely bottle of single malt...oh...and a Moto G 16gb and I still have some change in my pocket.
For such a big downgrade (on paper) I have to say that I am very impressed with it. I haven't rooted it as I like to use Skygo but I have installed the HTC blinkfeed launcher and It looks and performs very nicely (as long as I have my glasses on )
I've tried on swappa but no luck. I've also tried eBay. But they seem pretty expensive. Anyone know of someone or a place where I can pick up an x force? I'm in California.

Don't buy it in other place your bootloader may be impossible to unlock.
You can also custom your Moto for free if you buy it on the official website.
For exemple you can have your name or anything on the back of the Moto.
You can also choose custom texture, and color for your phone and even a premium leather instead of the ballistic nylon! (but leather is not free of course, personally I have order my Moto in leather)

The name is Motorola Moto X Force for the entire world, except for the US where is "Moto Droid Turbo 2" I ****ing don't know why lol.
Yeah I was looking at Motorola website.. It's a lot cheaper but I don't have Verizon. I use cricket so I'm worried about some of the bands not being compatible.
I'm currently using an LG v10 and Xperia but thinking about getting rid of the v10 for a turbo 2/x force.
Mainly for that shatterproof screen.

Should I buy this phone? As I'm very impressed by the features of it but worried that will this phone and its LTE work in my country?
