Just came across an article stating Motorola confirmed we will be receiving Marshmallow. So excited! http://motorola-blog.blogspot.com/2015/10/marshmallow-and-smore.html?m=1
Just saw on Droid Life. Can't wait to get M next May, lol.

I'm just gonna keep telling myself something went really wrong internally with LP. Now they've worked out the kinks, and this one will go smoother . Let's say... Jan-Feb!

I on the other hand will count myself as lucky if I see it by October of next year.
they forgot the "2" at the end of "Turbo"
I'm not holding my breath for this to happen anytime in the near future. Probably most of us are on our next phone by then.
Confirmed by Moto themselves: http://motorola-blog.blogspot.in/2015/10/marshmallow-and-smore.html?m=1
Blah, nm this is the same link. Thought it was different at first. Yay! Maybe it won't take forever this time.

Time to buy a brand new turbo. Verizon is selling them for $480 out right.
The cpu and gpu are better than those on xp and that battery should keep me happy.

Just out of curiosity, what advantages would you get from a faster CPU/GPU that the 2014 version can't handle?

Agreed. There's nothing that I've thrown at this phone that it hasn't been able to handle. At one point there is going to be diminishing returns when it comes to computing power and phone software. That time seems to be about now. Until more hardcore GPU driven software starts to come out I don't feel I need to upgrade anytime soon.
Yeah we just got LP in June, so I'm thinking next June for MM?? By the time we get it, the rest of Android will be ready for the next version..lol

It was actually July 1.
Soak test was in June, but OTA started July 1.
Back in March, Motorola insiders leaked info that the Droid Turbo would get Lollipop in July. We thought that was a joke, but it was the sad truth.
I stand corrected...
I still think our huge delay had more to do with problems with lollipop itself then Motorola. I'm going with 6.0 before the end of 2015.

Looks like we may be getting MM earlier than expected (those that are more technically inclined). Turns out our bootloader is unlocked! Awaiting release.

I totally agree rather then pish out a buggy OS **cough** Samsung. They waited for a stable version. I hate how everyone crucified moto after the quick updates the year before.

I hear you. :highfive: The Turbo is a beast!
I mean, just look at the specs on this thing. Some of the new phones coming out now don't stack up to the Turbo specs-wise. Come on bootloader unlock, I'm keeping my Turbo.
We'll have it as soon as Justin updates sunshine.
Tapped out from my Motorola Droid Turbo, featuring Android 5.1. Please pardon my brevity.
Sunshine was released a few hours ago.

The problem with the 2.1 ROMs we have now is, even though they are spectacular, they're not 100 percent. There are some things that are broke.

Some people just don't get that even thought most of us are running a 2.1 rom - there are still issues.
My wife still has Audio issues with hers.
Not to mention we don't have legit .29 Kernel source...I have a feeling Toast may have something or just a really bastardized .27 kernel source.

That doesn't mean anything, as soon as the next best thing comes out the old ones are dropped fast. Phone companies are notorious for this.(Verizon is the big one) The Samsung Moment was EOL'ed, but still got updates. The Droid was EOL'ed as well but Motorola and Verizon still put out a Froyo update for it, and even replaced Droids that had the camera issue with Froyo with a Droid 2. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised of the Evo was EOL'ed sometime after the 3D's release.

The evo is still on backorder some places, I doubt they'll discontinue it for awhile
IT will sell a long side the evo 3d
I think the thread title should be changed to "when will the EVO be discontinued."
The current thread title indicates or causes one to think that it has already been discontinued.
It'll be dropped to 150 after the 3d drops I bet.

I have just been on the phone to them.
If you ring them they will give you £60 worth of vouchers to use.
I said I don't want vouchers I'll rather have £60 refunded to me. They said they can't do anything, so I said I am entitled under UK law to return the phone within 2 weeks of receiving it.
So now they are processing a return for me.
Stupidity beyond belief.

The ETA of the 10th of November is a bit of a letdown, let's hope it's quicker for such a standard choice (all basic black) :highfive:

Good Enjoying running lollipop on my N5, but craving new hardware :laugh:
Stock on the Moto X does look perfect, but you know once lollipop hits we have to get this dev section going :victory:
Really hoping I get the phone by the end of this week, but it looks like Moto may have a lot of orders to go through (hence the long ETA). The droid turbo does look nice but as someone on here pointed out to me, capacitive buttons, yuck!

I got rid of the nexus in the end and kept the HTC M8, had to get the moto x though. Wanted it from last years model so just bit the bullet. Hopefully you get a good turnaround on your delivery. I imagine I won't be able to resist making something when lollipop drops.
Going to have to get my hands on a moto 360 as well I think.
No droid turbo though. For the same reason. On screen keys are the way forward !
We all knew it was coming, but it looks like Motorola has finally officially changed hands from Google to Lenovo. I went to their site this morning and got a new flash animation site entry trailer that said Motorola a Lenovo Company. The 2014 X was certainly a product of the Google era, it will be interesting to see which way it goes now.
As long as they don't screw with quick updates and the performance of these phones, I don't care.
Well i ordered my moto x yesterday through motomaker. It already has been assembled and is now shipping from shenzen. I have to say i am living in Germany

Shouldn't really change much for these devices, Google is still in the works with Motorola due to the Nexus 6. So in terms of "3rd parties" outside of Google, Moto should be getting the updates for L out the quickest (helped by their stock approach as well).
It's still A "Motorola" phone. Parent company changing doesn't suddenly change that.

Motorola - An iconic brand with it's own character.
What I want and expect is it remains Motorola forever. I bought my last Moto when company was dying, it was an Atrix 2 which is still my primary and only phone I have been using since more than 2.5 years. That time I though it may turn out my last Moto. But I am feeling so glad and lucky that company bounced back so strongly and today I have few great choices as my upgrade options. :good:
Though would have liked to see ownership of the company would have remained in the hands of Motorola itself or atleast in hands of Google.

Lol that's the price we pay for having an Android phone.
If you think it's bad on Android, you'll laugh at how often the Windows phones get updated (never).
No, it was not that bad with my old nexus.
I have to admit one thing: my moto x 2014 is by far from a pure hardware point of view the best smartphone I ever had.
But from a pure software point of view I'm overly deceived. Moto has made a lot of publicity of themselves arguing they are the best at providing updates in a small timeframe, but they never respected their own claims.
If in future I have to choose between an OK smartphone with stellar software support and a stellar smartphone with no guarantee of software updates ( especially monthly security updates ) I will for sure choose the first one.
But yes, other than that Moto X Force looks good
