£380 UK 429Euros
LONDON -- Motorola is bringing its flagship Android phone to Europe. The Moto X will go on sale in the UK, France and Germany in February for £380 or 429 euros, the company announced today.
Previously only available in the US, Canada and Latin America, the Moto X follows the low-cost Moto G to Europe. It will be available on contracts starting at £25 per month in the UK.
"At Motorola our roots are deep in mobile hardware -- we invented mobile communications," said Motorola Mobility UK general manager Andrew Morley.
"Now, as a Google company, we've become the kind of company that can build a 4G smartphone like Moto X. It fuses our history of mobile innovation with the best of Google mobile services."

Still more expensive than the US version If you do a direct currency conversion
Also Its not clear If they're bringing both 16 & 32GB and If they are then I expect the £380 to be for 16GB, so 32 could be potentially in the £400 region
EDIT: Seems they are bring the 32 along but havent mentioned a price
Moto X UK Website
"2 GB RAM, 16 GB standard, 32 GB version available online. 2 years 50 GB storage free on Google Drive. Offer must be redeemed within 30 days of activation."

Is it worth it for that price?

IMO, no. When you can get the 32GB Nexus 5 for £339 inc. VAT SIM-free why pay £41 more to get a smaller phone with a lower resolution screen. OK, you get the voice controls/active notifications (which does look pretty cool!) but I don't think it's worth it. Add to that we don't get Moto Maker here for now and it's all a bit late. I'd rather get the Moto G as a cheap backup for my Nexus
Having said all that, it might be awesome. I'll have a play when I see one
I like it more than the nexus because it fits in my pocket and feels more luxurious in the hand. Mostly, I wanted a smaller phone than the flagships. But the smaller screen also means much better battery life.
Is it worth the premium? Depends on what you care about and how price sensitive you are.

Why is that a bad thing? You've got it sooner and probably at a lower price compared to 400€ European price?
Is it truth that European Moto X will have no main European LTE bands?
4G LTE bands - (GSM Unlocked model only) - 700/AWS/1900MHz (B17/B4/B2)
Source: http://www.handtec.co.uk/motorola-moto-x-16gb-black.html
Will get European LTE networks
Moto X will get European LTE/4G-networks, just check here:

Let's see how much 32gb model costs. I really like this phone, more than nexus 5.
Sorry for my english
It should be the exact same LTE Bands from the Brazilian and other Latin American models. XT1058

449,- I think
399€ 16gb. I'm thinking on buying it but I have seen there is not to much development of this phone. The thing is: nexus 5 32gb 400€ or moto X 32gb "450€"
Sorry for my english
Do they know if its running 4.4? My Rogers version is still on 4.2.2.

Is that correct? The EU main LTE bands are 800/1800/2600. I'd have bought the Latin American one if I'd known that it supports EU LTE frequencies. But the guy we negotiated about told me that it only works on LTE 700 (I think he was with Claro Puerto Rico). I could have never get the complete information about the Latin phones. So, please, what is the real configurations of those models relating their providers? What HSPDA and LTE frequencies are covered? Have they gotten 4.4 already? Do they have locked/unlocked bootloader? Any bloatware or stock?

All those frequencies you mentioned are supported by the Brazilian Model XT1058. You can unlock bootloader and it doesn't have any bloat beside one app called "Brazilian apps". It already has KitKat 4.4, but if the european version gets 4.4.2 I will flash it on mine

Good day everyone,
I have some bad news, if the info i received is accurate, for people who have purchased the XT1097 from Telus.
I called Telus tech support today asking about any news regarding the lollipop update and the agent told me that the update is due out in the middle of next month - mid January.
I don't know if this means Telus has decided that it is in their customer's "best interest" to wait for a 5.0.1 build to be released but I am pretty disappointed as Telus promises the "fastest software upgrades" on their website when you read about the Moto X.

If only 1 carrier has it in Canada it can still claim to be the fastest when it's dead slow. Ok I know Wind has it now too but I'm not holding my breath on Wind beating Telus to the update.
Yes I bought into that too.... not sure what the implications would be of side loading the Brazil OTA, I think it is still a soak test for now... although it is the same model.

Telus has always sucked at giving customers timely updates. They decided not to release the Nexus 6 yet because of the french language bug even though there is a simple work around. They have a decent cell network and pretty good customer service but when it comes to phones they tend to lag behind.
It will be interesting to see when the Wind version gets updated - they are small enough I doubt they have any kind of custom build. They may even use the same build as Telus in the end. I see there is a Canada retail 4.4.4 build you can download, not sure if that is the Telus version or not. It might be one generic build for Canada and then a specific EFS partition hardcoded into the phone before hand for each provider.
Being the XT1095 and XT1097 share the identical hardware it would be nice to be able to unlock the bootloader in the XT1097, flash it as an XT1095 and have it update properly on its own as a Pure version of the phone for the rest of its life. At this point it looks like we can use most of the XT1095 firmware but there is no auto updating without fixing the modem files.
btw - how do you guys find the radio performance of the XT1097 with Telus so far? Coming from a 2013 Moto X I haven't been that impressed. I see my phone lose LTE and then get it back a few seconds later for what appears to be no reason. I could have a defective phone but it looks more like there is a firmware bug of some sort to me.
There are a fair number of people that have taken the XT1095 plunge from XT1097. I have been holding off just because I would like to not have to root the phone and loose the warranty so early in it's life. As far as signal, I would say it is on par or better than my S4. The LTE speed is better but it does switch between H+ and LTE often. The building I work in has never provided optimal reception though. Speed on LTE I have gotten as high as 68 mb/s outside. The S4 in the same location couldn't break 40.

Saying it is on par with the S4 is not saying that much really. My 2013 Moto X will blow an S4 away 90% of the time in terms of reception. Heck it can receive LTE where an Iphone 5 doesn't think there is any. I've locked my XT-1097 to HSPA today and it doesn't seem to have made much difference to battery life but I am no longer showing any time without a signal. I am not sure about other phones but on a Motorola time without a signal as indicated by the phone does not appear to actually be time with no received signal. It seems to be the time the phone is not using its preferred protocol(LTE normally). So if you drop to HSPA it counts that as time with no signal even though you have one and are registered on the network.
I haven't seen signal drops of any kind today with HSPA only like I do with LTE enabled. The antenna system in the 2014 X might just be more directional then the 2013 model. It is also possible Telus has 700 MHz LTE in the area I work and the phone gets stuck switching between that and band 4 LTE.
It is a shame Motorola removes the radio diagnostic functions. I'd like to know what it is really doing.
I was also hoping to have Lollipop before Christmas so I could see if the phones performance improves at all. If it doesn't then I will probably sell it and go back to my 2013 Moto X. My Nexus 7 2013 running Lollipop is faster/smoother in all respects then my 2014 Moto X yet drives more pixels and has a older/slower processor(in theory anyway, Motorola may be heavily throttling the cores).
even mexico beat us...
Looks like mexico is getting the offical ota now.....
Hurry up please Telus.
Has anyone unlocked their bootloader with the Moto website for it? As a lark I ran the fastboot command to grab my key and dropped it in and, voila! The option to request unlock key popped up. So is that a full green light? I decided not to do it yet since I figure I'd like to still have my waranty. Just thought I would pass that along to those who are braver than I in this case. :silly:
Edit: and now it said it isn't. Bah!!

According to a motorola contact I have the final version for Brazilian retail is rolling out as we speak. No word on carrier versions though.

So can we fastboot and load the mexican ota zip?
Will it work with the telus modem?
If you do it, will you get pushed future telus updates?
Thanks!
In theory, it should work. I have used mexico modem with my s4. But like everything else it is at your own risk. I'm going to get Telus another week before I do anything

There is another thread here where someone took a twrp backup of the . 5 and .6 release from a pure edition. They restored perfectly on the telus version with out messing with the modem. Could someone do the same with this release?
Looks like Mexico is up to version .17 now... android 5.0 lollipop 22.21.17.en.MX I guess it could be Telus is waiting until the version numbers stop changing but it would be nice to know what the strategy is exactly.....
A little communication would go a long way. Most people don't know or care about updates but for the people like us who want to know and purchased the phone for quick updates, a little bit of info would go a long way. TELUS should communicate better, it would be a win-win for them-us.
I hope all of you with a Telus account harass them non-stop. I am living the budget life with Koodo, so Telus doesn't want to hear from me...
Well I have sent 3 inquires from the website asking for more information but I have yet to get any acknowledgement ..... tried from home and work computer.... anyone else try?

info: You are now chatting with 'Samantha'
Jeremie: Good evening, I have a question regarding the moto x update to android 5.0
Samantha: Hi Jeremie, thank you for contacting TELUS mobility chat support. I hope you are doing well today!
Jeremie: You as well.
Samantha: I can look at some information for that update.
Jeremie: Great!
Samantha: There actually is not any information about an update at this time.
Jeremie: It is strange since this phone is getting updated currently in the US, Brazil and Mexico. Your website mentions quickest software updates and it is the main reason why I purchased this phone meanwhile everyone else is getting the update but us who purchased froM TELUS.
Jeremie: I know its not your fault but would it be possible to forward my comments to higher ups as I find the wording on your website to be misleading.
Samantha: I totally understand what you are saying. We don't even know about the updates until they actually come out.
Samantha: What you can do if you would like is leave your feedback. There is a "how are we doing" link at the bottom of our home page which will allow you to leave feedback about our website or concerns and that will get to the right people who can handle this request.
Jeremie: OK thanks for your time.
Samantha: No problem! Does that help you for today?
info: Your chat transcript will be sent to ........ at the end of your chat.
Jeremie: Yes have a good evening. Thank you
Samantha: Thanks! You as well!
I will leave my feedback as she suggested.
Here is the feedback I sent them:
On your website, the information provided for the Moto X mentions that the phone gets the quickest software updates. The XT1097 has been updated to android 5.0 in Brazil and Mexico over a week ago and the US XT1095 for almost a month. Even the XT1096 sold at Verizon has been updated almost 3 weeks ago now but still, your agents don't even have a date in sight for when the update will be coming to TELUS Moto X.
The reason I bought this phone was for the quick updates as clearly stated on your website. As you surely know, information in this day and age goes around the globe pretty quickly. If you make a statement like the one made about the speediness of the software updates, you better make sure you're on par with other carriers around the world or it really makes you look bad.
I am not complaining in order to get any sort of compensation but as a long term customer I hope you take my complaint seriously and improve the way you manage software updates.

Fellow Z force users, it has been announced that the 7.0 update is near. Maybe even today for some. My question is would I receive it like everyone else if im using it in the UK on a Network other than Verizon.
Good question. I'm in Canada, so wondering if I'll just get the OTA as well.
I do hope so. Maybe someone here has experience updating when out of U.S.
Yes, you should receive it even if you are outside of the US. My Droid Turbo got the updates when Verizon released it and I am in the UAE. So should not be a problem. Dont worry guys.

You were right. I definately did just get the update to 7.0!
I have been watching, waiting, and hoping that someone would figure out and post about being able to use VoLTE or Advanced calling on any of the custom roms (except Computerfreeks), and i am seeing the same scattered information through the forums. I definitely do not have the skills to figure this out, but hopefully some of the skilled developers in this community can post here and work together to figure this out.
I love using a custom rom, and this device is amazing. But the one thing I miss since using @bhb27 custom Resurrection Remix Rom is VoLTE and Advanced Calling.
So developers....let's talk! Discuss your findings and insights!!!

Unless you are referring that carriers in India don't have VoLTE (with I know they do) you are not informing me noting new as you can see in my answer from before.
Add a coma so you can understand maybe we are lost in translations
"India were Moto sells xt1225 the "XT1225 - Moto Turbo" has some VoLTE enable carrier, but Moto did not update the OS to support it. "
I've actually asked this question on a few existing threads but I haven't received any answers.
I just picked up the Moto X Force running 6.0 here in India on a sale, but it currently doesn't support VoLTE. I don't mind the wait, but it'll be absolutely useless for me if VoLTE is still unsupported post the upcoming Nougat update. If anyone could help me with this question, I'll be very grateful. Thanks in advance.
No. As far As I know for both Quark and Kinzie only Verizon VOLTE is supported on the Verizon stock firmware.
A lot of India people have tried to get VoLTE on the Moto Turbo XT1225 (India version of the Droid Turbo) and it doesn't work.
Same thing with Moto X Force, the international version of the Droid Turbo 2.
When Motorola updated the Quarks and Kinzies to Marshmallow they could have added general VoLTE support, just like the Verizon variants had on Verizon network, but they didn't. If they didn't a year ago they won't with Nougat either. They want you to buy a new phone, not give more functionality to an older phone.

Is it still worth Im getting a used one for 8k?? How it perform after 7.0 update??
where are you getting it for 8K! Im using one and will buy another.
As for the VoLTE is concerned im using Airtel 4G and use my phone on 3G to save battery VoLTE will not add some extra MBPS to your device.
Its performing as fluid on Android 6 no complaints

It works beautifully with the 7.0 update, I however sold it off as it was useless to me without VoLTE. 8k is a very good deal if VoLTE is not important for you.
