The US motorola site lets you purchase a Moto G (Global GSM) model at the same price of 199$ for the 16GB one.
I was wondering if its possible to buy a Moto X (XT1052) UK edition (with LTE 1800mhz) from the US at around the same price (329$).
The Moto X if bought in UK converts to around 550$ which is prohibitively high and you don't get the customization options as well.
I wouldn't say so, whoever Motorola's distributor is in the UK wouldn't be over joyed by that.
Are you in Europe or USA?

Yup, ebay. but for that price probably only used ones. Hope that helps!
Also, you could see which US versions match your bands since they're on sale for cheap for another week.

Am in Asia actually and am trying to have a friend in the USA buy it from Motomaker. And the LTE band used here is band 3 (1800), which the UK Moto X (XT1052) has.
The used UK models on ebay are double the price of a brand new US moto x. Guess I'll have to skip LTE.
I am in Ireland and to get a 32gb Dev Edition, I had to buy from the USA. I won't need LTE for probably 2 years.
Mine including shipping cost me €320
There are people in Ireland and on Ebay looking for €600 for them!!

In Egypt we have the same GSM N/W like Europe, I managed to purchase a Moto X from ebay, it's a Mexican one (America Movil).
Moto X is great and working perfect on Vodafone EG.
Did you buy one from american eBay and import it? Do egypt need to pay import taxes in egypt?
Shame
My family are in the US at the moment... But i have 4G on EE.
Don't think this would work due to LTE bands are different from AT&T to EE
Seems I'm the first one to open a Thread for the Moto G 2014. *proud*
Did anyone find a source to get a dual-sim version of the Moto G(2) 2014? Preferably on the European mainland.
I'm thankful for every information I can get!
Cheers,

Motorola gave out the dual-SIM version to journalists, including myself, yesterday. Is this not the one being sold on Amazon?
Actually, I find it hard to see anything on Amazon. Not helped by Motorola thinking it could call the new Moto G the Moto G (2nd generation) or Moto G 2014 as people are also calling it.
It makes it quite hard to identify which is which on the website, and no doubt elsewhere.

I don't know what is sold on Amazon? With Amazon I would give it a blind order try but I can't find it on .co.uk nor on .de. Did you find it?
Not yet. Lots of the original 3G model at some rather inflated prices though.
Any chance you can upload 2 or 3 pictures taken with it?

I don't know about the European mainland but you can get it in India from Flipkart.com; sales are starting from tonight at sharp 1200hrs.
Yes, the European version is with dual sim, at least believing on Expansys and Handteck, that already are selling the phone... can't find it on amazon thought..
The only downside there it seems to exist is that there are only a 8GB version
Sorry to tag on this thread, does the 2014 moto G have a multi colour LED notification?
Lots of misleading info out there...anyone know whether the US has a dual SIM version and the bands for the dual SIM versions? The Motorola website as it is now is pretty useless.

Before I ordered mine on friday I asked Motorola Germany via facebook if it has dual sim as i couldn't find any infos on motorola Hompage or the german onlineshop (notebooksbilliger.de - they sold on friday with 32GB microSD for € 199,-). On facebook they told me it has dual sim.

I'm planning on getting mine but I'm not sure which seller would ship it quicker. (I was between Walmart and Submarino - These are Brazil only retailers if someone is wondering).
It may be a great phone from what I've been researching.

Is this true??
No one can help me???
I'm in Canada and finding it a bit of a challenge to find a workaround to get the Moto X through MotoMaker. I'm going to the US in October and was wondering if there are any stores that would carry the unlocked Pure Edition so I could just walk in and buy it?
Hi guys,
I really want to buy the Moto X, but here in Germany the price for a bamboo one with 32GB ist a whopping 600€. And buying the Moto X for 600€, whereas my Nexus 5 costs 250€ less? Yeah no. In addition, the Nexus 6 will probably be cheaper as well, so I just cant justify spending that much money on the Moto X. Does anyone know, where I could get it cheaper (import etc.)? I mean, if I converted the USD price in euros it would cost 450€. Would really appreciate any suggestions

Someone mentioned that they were able to buy the Moto X with a key for motomaker at the Phone House (DE site) with free upgrade to either wood or leather.

Does anybody know already - is the unbranded european version of moto x (uk, de, fr..) identical to the pure version? I mean does it have the unlockable bootloader?

Thanks. Do you know what XT model is European Moto X or which LTE bands are supported? Are there different builds for EU countries like were for previous Moto x? You can't find any useful information on the sellers sites and asking them for help is fruitless. They don't know what they sell.

At this moment the pure edition doesn't support European LTE bands. It only supports bands 2, 4 and 17. Motorola said they will unlock bands 3, 5 and 7 soon via a software update. 3 and 7 are the important ones to Germany.

But we still don't if it's pure in the sense that the boot loader is unlockable. Can anyone confirm?
Motorola makes amazing phones but on the other hand it' s full of dirty tricks that annoy its customers. Remember that previous version was different for unlocked USA model, European and even Asian model. Does anybody has already new Eropean Moto X and can confirm that it is XT1095 and not 1094 or 1093 model?

Huh? 95 pure is USA only. Of what dirty tricks do you speak?
Well, it's a long history of them. Browse Motorola forums. Motorola is far to servile to the operators to the detriement of its own customers. Never truely analyzed whether such a policy pays off. I personally believe that their phones could sell better. It's not normal to not reveil significant parts of specifications for different models, weird mess with lte bands, blocked tethering, voip..
And those are only last issues.
Just missed the bid war on the new in a box Moto X for £53.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTO-X-XT1052-16GB-Black-/332122211690
How much do they run usually, new in a box? (XT 1052)
XT1052 never was cheap ) USA models can be cheaper, but prepare for sim/bootloader locks, and limited choice of radio bands.
I'd name 75-90USD to be fair price for mint Moto X 2013.
i am selling mine for $50, unlocked
