I didn't get the feeling that would be a true Nexus. You know how Motorola is with their bootloaders.

Only an idiot would doubt that google will make their own phones through Motorola. Its more a matter of when then if.
Its not going to be a nexus I believe it will be branded as the droid RAZR X and will be realesed with 4.2.2 in q1.Google should have 4.2.2 by then.
I'm just skeptical about it being a real 'nexus' device because hasn't every Motorola phone been only sold by Verizon? Idk if moto and Verizon have a contract but since Google owns Motorola anyone would assume they would make their devices but idk

No, Motorola has sold phones on other carriers. For example, I owned a Motorola Photon on Sprint myself.
However, I think this whole rumor is around some "X" phone by Google and Motorola that _won't_ be a Nexus and _will_ be carried exclusively by Verizon. I'll see if I can find a link...
This has nothing to do with the Nexus 4 and since a lot of users still haven't even received theirs yet, we are long way from discussing this phone's successor in here.
I've already moved one of these to Android General if you would like to continue the discussion there.

Can people please log the if, when and where status of the OTA for the above phone?

Nothing. Even did the *#*#checkin#*#*

I can't wait! I am already feeling anxious.
Hey looks like the Motorola Droid/Milestone will get it before the Nexus One.
Saw some reports that they are aiming for a July release for Droid and August for Droid X.
Nice - I really appreciate the way google is treating its Nexus One customers.

You need to do some more research. The announcement April 4 is with HTC, not Motorola. We have a good chance of seeing the next evo, likely a variant of the one x.
Also, where did you see that news about the PHOTON?

So I just got this phone yesterday and I love it so far... My only question or concern is will it still get the updates as quick as the nexus... I noticed it was still on 4.2.2 and my Nexus tablet is on 4.3... That was my main selling point to buy the phone...

Not as quick as a Nexus. No phones or tablets get updates as quick as the Nexus line.
If that was the main selling point for you, I suggest you return it and wait for the Nexus 5.

Many people believe, since Google owns Motorola, that Motorola phone will get updates faster... Google has already stated that this is not true, they get no preferential treatment in regards to updates.
That being said, due to the limited bastardization of android on the moto x, it is fair to believe that this device has the potential to get updates quicker, whether that will play out as such, will be better known in the future.
But, the quick answer to your question is"no" this will not get updates as fast as a nexus device... Its not a nexus device. But it is understandable to believe that we will get updates more quickly than most other manufacturers devices on the market.

I will be happy if we hey an update in a reasonable amount of time... I guess that's a matter of opinion on what's a reasonable amount of time... I just traded in my HTC One XL for this phone so as long as I would get the updates faster than I did on that phone I will be happy... Also I was hoping to get support for this device for a longer period of time and keep receiving the updates... I just figured since it does not have a heavy ui like sense or touch wiz I would get updates quicker and supported longer... But I'm happy with the phone so I think I'm just going to keep it...

This is the first phone I've had that I don't want to root... I actually want the ability to get the ota updates, seems like Motorola is actively listening to consumers and pushing updates... I don't want to miss out on what they have coming. Plus, this phone is simply amazing, just the way it is.

Which versions?
Sent from my Moto X
Yesterday, GSMarena posted that the N4 will be updated with LTE and a storage bump as well. 16GB and 32GB for 300$ and 350$ respectively.
According to the leaked manual of the N5 the 32GB was said to cost 450$. According to GSMarena the N5 will cost 399$ and 450$ respectively.
IF THAT IS TRUE, who's upgrading?
The N4 16GB costs 400$ in my country as it is.
P.S: I'll buy the N4 because of budget constraints, will be my second Nexus phone, after the Nexus S.

I'm waiting next year for the price cut like they did with the Nexus 4. I could buy it now, but it wouldn't be cost-effective.
That would be ****ty for Google to release an LTE version of the Nexus 4 this late in the game.. Anyone who is anyone knows the N4 is already LTE capable... To charge for a legit version is just a **** move
Sent from my Nexus 10
Don't think I can believe this rumor, don't know why Google would do this, They had 4 7 10, now if tis 4 5 7 10 it would just confuses buyers, and the screen size isn't much of a difference anyway. Also Google always had just 1 Nexus device a year, why two all the sudden?
I'd still get the N5 because it have the hardware for hand free Google Now voice interaction like the MotoX, which the N4 don't.
We already knew what happen with some of the previous false rumor like project road runner and theming engine. Just taking a quick glance at AndroidGeeks is already enough to tell me they are putting this up for more viewership than journalistic integrity.
First rumors were $299/$399 for 16gb/32gb.. now $399/$450...
THESE are all rumors... Dont believe it until you hear word from Google themselves...

the LTE capable is only 1 band... if google releases a refresh N4 with all bands of LTE, then it wouldnt be that bad, dependent on pricing of course...
Suppose it does come with all lte bands. I mean with Verizon and sprint you'd still need cdma for calls and I guess that leaves you with tmobile or AT&T still with a lte n4

i hope that's true. if they release a 16gb lte capable n4 ihope i can flash it to my og n4! then i won't have to worry about enabling lte every time i flash a rom update

it's only a d**k move if they release it with official band 4 aws only. then all it would mean is they pulled it and had a fire sale because they got fcc approval on the exact same existing hardware setup
If there was a Nexus 4 "LTE" coming, it would have had to hit the FCC. I have not heard anything about that one. I will be getting the Nexus 5 no matter what happens. Just hard to believe so many rumors and believers of the nexus 4 "LTE" where there's no leaks or FCC filings known.

FCC is closed. Bluetooth certification for a LTE Nexus 4 appeared recently. Its going to be a reality now I guess.

If this is the case it will suck for us who want to sell our current N4 to get an N5 unless the LTE N4 is not sold at such a bargain price.

Reports are saying its the same model number as the current n4, so it will most likely be a software and radio update to current owners,

Exactly. There's no chance a new N4 is being released, it's just going to be a patch for the current radios.

You had this closed once. I for one will keep my Nexus 4 even though I could get one,4+ or5. There is plenty of life in the nexus 4.im happy with it as is as I get hsdpa + speeds of 15mb/s +.
I'm not insecure enough to need the latest version for no reason at all.

I was doing some research on the processors of the Moto X and discovered that it is using two of Texas Instruments' processors. As we all found out when 4.4 was released, the Galaxy Nexus ceased to receive support as it as well used a TI processor. And now that TI is quickly leaving the mobile business, are we to expect the Moto X to lose update support as well?
TI left the SoC industry, they didn't leave chip making entirely. Qualcomm makes the SoC, TI makes co-processors that help the SoC. There shouldn't be any issues getting further updates, provided VZW/Moto/Google approve them.
Exactly, this is too far of a reach. My guess is that the the moto x gets updates for 18 months like the galaxy nexus.
Personally I think Google should extend there updates to 18 months after the phone is sold not from when it came out, but that is there policy.

As "imnuts" indicated, the TI chips in the Moto X are still in active production. Regardless, the Galaxy Nexus was retired for Google's reasons, not TI's.

I just got the moto x and love it so far, but as far as the update thing goes I think since most carriers only let you upgrade every 24 months that Google should continue update until 24 months after the phone stops being sold through retail or upgrade options! My opinion of course but if I bought a phone 18 months after it came out hum mm you know Verizon then they should support that device longer! My phone may be 18 months on shelf but I only just got it! Again my opinion!
