Motorola Moto X (Sprint, 1st gen.)

I use the gallery app currently on my Moto G. However I got my Moto G through Verizon Prepaid and sadly they have not released the 4.4 Kit Kat update yet. Hopefully soon because this looks super nice.

Nexus 5 with 32 GB of internal is $399.99, and with way better Specs. Why would anyone buy this?

Wow..this is tempting. The Developer Edition is $449 too.

Gotta think about what the profit is on that 100 dollar piece of grass (bamboo is literally a kind of grass). 😲

speaking PINs aloud.

just wating for my kitkat update to use that!! 😁

I wonder how well it would work if you are at an auction, or playing battleship. Plus, you have those annoying friends who will just shout out random numbers. I don't see any practicality for a feature like this. Zero.

What is the name of the app? I have a Droid Maxx HD--will it work with that?

Wonder if by any chance the Moto G will have the same option, having a device such the Moto G with that customization available will be just awesome 🙂

1 year obviously through Motorola I would assume. I'm sure GSM customers have a better experience going through Moto but what about CDMA like Sprint and Verizon?

The same with insurance.

How is a replacement device ordered? Is it a black/white stock one at that point or a completely remade device with the original color combination??

is a running joke.

With google owning them they should have taken over by now. They have the best radios / reception / build quality in general, but they are mentally ill about updating their expensive phones.

But instead of flooding the google play store with unlocked stock devices with no crapware at a great price, they continue to suck-off losers like Veriscum, losers that lock phones and losers that charge confiscatory rates for international roaming. Losers.

And this rubbish with lines of phones that are Vz exclusive, how lame.

Yawn at motorola, get off the bench and start winning again with google behind you and UPDATE YOUR PHONES to 4.4 and STOP BEING A WHIMP.

Well that's a cool way to hand out updates. Instead of waiting for stupid carriers.

Eric, you really did not just say that...

Wow, that was bit of a back handed compliment there.

I am not a fan of Motorola, nor their line up of Android device that are consistently 8-12 months behind the curve. Come to think of it that "Curve" is about the only phone that they are ahead of.

Needless to say I wont be getting this device I have not had a good thing to say about moto since their "smart-looking" phone back in 2006 the Moto Q with Windows 5.0.. this phone was the 1st qwerty style smart device that was at the $99 with contract price point and was the beginning of the end for Palm and now Blackberry...

The UN-educated snapped this phone up due to the attractive price despite its overwhelming shortcomings compared to o...

I read through the whole article and seem to have missed the one difference you say makes it stand out from the same model on other carriers.

Even if it's a CDMA based device, it's VERY quick and has a ton of features for what it is - yes it's a dual core, but when looking at benchmarks and general perception, those 1.7Ghz dual cores are ALWAYS running at full capacity; ready to go - versus the GS4 which is always stepping itself down to save power.


I really liked the Moto X when I was using it.

A $200 price tag on a device Google, Motorola and analysts have all stated will soon be $100 in weeks... combined with the WORST NETWORK in the Western Hemisphere is just a bad combination. Who would want this mix? Why bother?

I don't understand this. If I don't care about specs, I own an iPhone. If I care about personalization, I buy a case for it, which allows me to swap out the appearance of my phone far more often than my contract. And because it's a case, my penchant for bizarre colors won't effect my resale value.

(And although many cases are lame, there are some pretty damn cool ones out there for the iPhone.)

Or, to sum it up with more direct competition, the Galaxy lets you peel off the back cover and put on a new one at will.

Just what we need, a device to make "device security a little easier". They should put the NFC tag on the back of a smart cover, then it can just unlock whenever I open the flip, that whole locking and unlocking with my finger thing is just too inconvenient.
