Where is it? Supposed to be released today. I went from the Nexus 6 to the Note 4...Ready to get back to the basics and get back with Motorola. Just wondering if I should go with X or G....Either way, when is X being released!?!??!

Preorders are supposed to be launching today... I assume on MotoMaker.

It's not up yet though.

I'm so torn on this phone. I want one, but unsure if I should wait a year for the 820 snapdragon. My rooted G3 still beasts, so I feel like I'm impulsing because the moto X pure is such an attractive buy.

I have almost ordered it 4 times today. My brother has the new G and loves it. I need the battery life of the G....Wish the X was better in that regard...Also want to wait to see what Nexus line comes out with.

what's your carrier? because the X Play is coming to Verizon only as the new Droid Maxx and I've seen reports of 7+ hours of screen on time with that battery.

Looks like you cannot get the champagne colored frame now. Was just playing around on the design, and it's not an option anymore.

yeah it sold out day 1. It wasn't really an option for me anyway as I'm getting the 16gb and spending the 50 on an SD card that's much larger than 16gb... but it sold out quickly.

I got black with black leather and champagne accents. Comes in on the 15th.

I'm seeing that this may be the phone to have for the year. Nexus will be a letdown. Value was its biggest selling point. Not the case anymore. I've gotten on moto maker 4 times already to order. Just can't pull the trigger.

No. Was looking at that for the wife. I'm going dark metal and slate. That is IF I decide to pull the trigger.

Well, I quit visiting the site and leaving empty handed. Broke down and ordered the black on black 32 gig. Will be here Tuesday.


You can go on XDA and follow the tutorial to unlock the bootloader for when the custom roms start dropping.

I'll probably wait a while before fricking around with ROMs. I've never had a nexus or any other pure android device so I want to see what all that's about first.

Canceled my original order with BB because they are backordered with no time table. Decided to order straight from Motorola. Plus, I decided I wanted to go with 64gb internal and customize the color on back. Went with black/slate/gunmetal. Delivery of 9/18. Saw bunch of people taking delivery yesterday and today. Amazon was the fastest to deliver. Especially if you have prime. No 64gb unless you get directly from motorola.

As far as SD cards, this is what I went with and will be Android M ready. Has 90/95 read/write and is 4k HD ready.

mine was supposed to be delivered this morning but I was asleep (working nights right now).

looks like I won't get it until monday.

How much did you pay for the SD Card? Honestly, once M drops, the 64gb will be a giant waste of money anyway because it's all the same with an SD card.

Sorry, I forgot to post the link for the SD card. I edited and gave you a link to the card.

As for internal storage, not really a waste. M will combine internal/external for storage. If you plan on doing 4k video, music, etc, you'll need as much storage as you can get. 4k video files are large.

Yeah it's just a lot cheaper to buy sd cards than paying up front for the memory. I'll be getting a one shortly.

I just got my phone today. Everything about it is great. I love the gestures and the clean Android and the great keyboard especially. Moto migrate transferred all my stuff over from my old phone with just a scan of a qr code.

The leather feels great too.
