The Moto X (16GB) just dropped to $99 on contract (upgrade or new signing) at Best Buy. For AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/07/moto-x-drops-to-99-at-best-buy-with-new-contract/
Decisions, decisions.
UPDATE:
Moto X drops to $99 on contract with AT&T for 16 GB and $149 for 32GB (this includes Moto Maker)
http://gigaom.com/2013/10/25/customized-moto-x-price-drops-to-99-on-contract/
yep. went in last night for a price adjustment. =)
Question is, will the 32GB on Verizon next month be $150? If so, i would definitely be willing to give up the customization from motomaker.

Right that is what I was referencing. I'm hoping best buy will have the lower price on the 32GB version when it comes out then.
After browsing BestBuy and Amazon, it appears neither offer the 32GB. Is it only available on Motorola's site or in the AT&T store? (I assume therefore will only be available in the Verizon store once it's out for them)
If so, I may just go ahead and snag up the cheap one at best buy. I can live with 16GB for over a $100 savings.
For those not in the know. There is a Motorola trade up program right now where moto will give 100 back for people who have older Motorola phones

Could mean a free moto X if your interested.

The 32gb is only available through moto maker. The stores or Att directly doesn't offer the 32gb. I thought about selling my 16 and buying a 32gb but like you said it's over 100 bucks in savings to just get a 16gb version.

Yeah, I think for $150 in savings I can make do with 16GB.
I bought the phone from them a few days ago and they refunded me the difference. The best Android phone available at the moment and now it's half as much.

according to http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/10/10/moto-maker-tipped-bring-moto-x-customization-best-buy/ BestBuy will have motomaker booths. I hope that this means customization and 32 GB options with the BestBuy discount. I will surely pull the trigger then
Looks like the sale is over The verizon30 code still works on Verizon's site, so I think I'm gonna pull the trigger at snag it for $139.99 unless anyone else here knows of a better deal? My problem is, my billing period ends this Sunday (I'm switching from Sprint to Verizon) and I don't really want to hold off that long. Amazon does have it for $99, but back ordered 1-3 weeks. Not to mention, I may be adding other family to my plan in the next 30 days so that might be hard to do if Amazon has an additional contract prohibiting change of the plan.
updated with new offering from ATT
Well, looks like Motorola is not honoring any type of partial refund/price matching for Moto Maker devices. I purchased a device directly from Motorola (through Moto Maker) on Friday of last week. After calling this morning multiple times and asking about processing a partial refund for the difference in price, I was told that "prices are subject to change" and always offered a $100 Motorola online coupon good for 30 days and only valid on select accessories.
Needless to say, I was a bit miffed! I guess I'll just have to try processing a price guarentee through AMEX and see what happens.

Seems to be even more entry level than the Moto G. They quote the price for the dual SIM + TV as R$599,00 - I'd expect it to retail for something like $119,00 / £89,00 / €129,00 SIM-free, unlocked.
Why would a more entry level phone cost more?

I'm going by Amazon prices here, but the cheapest G goes for $179 / £115 / €159,00. Obviously you can find it discounted, but this isn't what I'm talking about, I'm talking about standard prices.

Unlocked? Without contract?
It also looks like a Moto G LTE version is going to be released in the coming months as well. I would imagine the next version of the Moto G will have LTE as a standard feature. The costs of including multiple bands for LTE is coming down so it only makes sense.

I might get the LTE Moto G since the screen on my current G is cracked/scratched at the upper right. It's barely noticeable, but it's noticeable enough to annoy me. Quite a few people like my phone and it isn't available here (I don't think Digicel plans on carrying this phone and it's expensive as hell to import) so I can most likely sell it for some good cash once I get the LTE version.
I am so buying it just for the lte features xD
I want the moderator to ban me.
Really ?Why here is so expensive ?
http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/motorola-moto-e-xt1022-spotted-on-indian-import-website-519174
moto e coming soon!! to cost around 8000 indian rupees or 8500 rupees approx!!
Moto E has been officially announced, here is the full specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_e-6323.php
Available in the uk for £79.99 locked to o2.
A £150 moto g model is out now with micro sd and lte support though.
Moto G2 is set to be announced on the September 4 event internationally, Indian announcement to follow on September 5 at New Delhi. It was a question whether Motorola would discontinue the moto g in favor of G2. Flipkart now announced that they are conducting the sale [of the] last stock of Moto G. So it is confirmed that the Moto G will be discontinued and its place will be taken by the Moto G2.
Moto G has been hugely successful in India. Moto announced that it sold over 1 million handsets through Flipkart till June. Moto is now the 4th biggest smartphone company in India, ahead of Nokia. They achieved this by just 3 handsets, most of the nmbers is because of Moto G.
Moto recently slashed Moto G’s price by Rs.2000 due to recent increase in competition (read Xiaomi Mi 3 and Asus Zenfone 5), making it more attractive for buyers and a nicer deal. Moto G 8gb model recently got out of stock recently and have not been replenished till now. It is to be expected that it was the last stock of Moto G 8gb version. Now, with Flipkart’s ‘Get yours before it’s gone!’ sale, it might be your last chance to get a Moto G.
Moto G2 has been in news and leaks for some time. In case you don’t know, G2 is said to feature a 5-inch 720p display with the same snapdragon 400 processor coupled with 1GB ram. Camera units might be a 5 or 8 megapixel primary with 2 megapixel secondary. It is also said to feature dual front speakers like the htc One. The price might be slightly higher than the Moto G.
Moto G 16gb is set to go out of stock soon and will be permanently unavailable soon. Flipkart is also offering 50% off on Moto G accessories in favor of clearing out stock. It is the best and last time you can get your Moto G, Buy it now or never!

I suppose the good news is that Moto G 2 appears to be essentially the same hardware as Original Moto G. That should mean it won't take much more work for Motorola to create versions of Android 'L' that work on both devices.
I don't care if this or that is discontinued, I just wish my little fellow gets a taste of Android L... Hope to see a new notification saying "New system update available".. That's all I want.. :crying:
Android L will be the last system update for moto g for sure.. In the future, when android M and N comes out, we will have to look at Cyanogen to have a new custom firmware...
Well,this is sad,because this device is highly known and a great quality device. I think it deserves to get android L at least,and for future updates we cant rely on Cyanogenmod,because currently do not have a high support. I dont know who this guy Ethan Chen is,but i know that dhacker is a great dev,and his support was better. I'm 99.9% shure that he would port L and future updates if he was an offical maintainer.
So in conclusion,we just need barebone android L image and the majority of us will be satisfied.
The Moto G will get the Android L upgrade and i guarantee it. Motorola is still not fully with Lenovo yet. And i read since that Moto's software is near AOSP it should be easy for them to upgrade us soon, but since the Moto G2 is coming out we may get it like a week or two later. Remember how we got kitkat on December 24 even though Motorola said it was coming early 2014 or something like that?
bummer... many people have bought moto g on my recommendation. they are going to kill me.
lets hope android l is in cards and custom roms continue to flourish... cant upgrade my phone yearly

That's true, since this is a worldwide well known device, it should receive L, because it would be a great hit between customers. But if you think, maybe if falcon is discontinued, for Motorola won't be necessary to upgrade the device to L since moto g won't be available anymore.
But, if Motorola wants to be recognized as one of the best device maintainers talking about updates, they must consider upgrade falcon to L. Then, Motorola users, with no doubt, will gen a moto in the future instead of buying another phone.
Larger screen on g2 with same resolution translates to lower PPI. Only significant change is the camera.
I actually bought the g for the smaller screen and 720p quality . I already have the s3 and s4 which are slightly uncomfortable to hold in one hand due to their larger screens . I also have the moto e which is as good as the g. You won't find much difference in the moto g and e for daily use except if you need the front camera for video calls then moto g does not have it . Sorry for being slightly OT .
moto g will get android l

They aren't discontinuing it until they release the Moto G2. So it isn't like you won't be able to get one for the same similar price and hardware.

Sure. But if the phone size itself is the same, I think most people will be fine with it.
So one company announces it will stop selling Moto G's in favour of the G2 and the community think that is equivalent to the G being discontinued? Oh, by the way, here in the UK, carphone warehouse have listed the Moto G in their stores as "new". Just for the record.

Hi, I just read that the Developer Edition Moto X is being sold for just $229 on eBay. This is a pretty good deal for anyone who was considering buying a Moto X. International shpping is relatively low too!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Motorol...2GB-4-1-GSM-Unlocked-US-Warranty/221595159583
I agree. I was fortunate to have purchased a 64GB T-Mobile/Unlocked XT1053. I doubt we will see those again. Even the new 2014 Moto X Pure Edition is not offering 64GB.
I bought one, but just noticed this Reddit thread that suggests the GPS might not be working on them... anyone have any info relating to this?
I'm hoping that the reddit thread is malarkey. I just contacted the seller about this. I'll send it back unopened if this is the case. The ad said nothing about this. I read looking forward to getting this phone! Fingers crossed is not true!
Just reread the ad on eBay, GPS is listed as a feature. It states the phone is brand new in box with 1 year Moto warranty. Be cool if one child get moto care for it as well. The phone is in transit, hoping to get it a day early.
I doubt the phone lacks GPS...I mean, Motorola would need to have a lot of faulty Moto's to make such lot of GPS-less Moto X's. I'm pretty sure it do has GPS, very few phones lack GPS nowadays.
Just received mine yesterday, and it arrived a day early, too! No issues whatsoever. It was completely brand new, unopened and untouched. Absolutely loving it so far. Currently been using an iPhone 6 Plus and a Sony Xperia Z Ultra, and I've got to say, its quite refreshing using a compacts sized phone that fits perfectly in the hand.

Hi, I ordered mine from the same eBay link a few days ago (the Moto x 2013 developer edition 32gb, at USD 229) and I'm a little worried because I'm from Argentina and besides the price of the phone itself I also have to pay someone in the US to bring me the phone here, so it's an extra 100 dollars for me.
Anyway, since you received yours already I need to ask you if everything was ok with it, I mean, is it brand new? unopened box? not refurbished and working perfectly fine for you?
Thanks in advance for the help! [emoji12]

As I said, it's a completely brand new and unopened unit - factory sealed and clear wrapped in original packaging (as far as I can tell, it's not a refurbished unit). No need to worry. And it's running absolutely smoothly. Near flawless performance considering the chip set it's running.

Seller is playing some games with pricing, it's been up and down over and over again.
With Lenovorola wanting an absurd $200 to replace the chipped screen on my GF's MotoMaker XT1058 this has a lot of appeal.
Bummed it's an XT1053, no T-Mo HSPA support. Did they make a 1058 Dev Edition, or only the ATT variants?

You're totally right, suffered a moment of brain fade. 1053 is the one to have from a U.S. GSM band perspective.
Got one @ $259.99. Can’t wait for it to arrive, obsessively checking if seller shipped it yet.
Motorola is having a deal on their website (US Only), on the main page they're advertising the 2nd Gen Moto G for 99.99 (40%) off. Check it out!

Sadly not all of us live next door to a Best Buy, and looking at the site the price is only for the black model (at least online). Good to know, though!
