with the new generation of the moto x being released, are there any discounts or coupon codes for the first generation moto x through motomaker?
Once you say "any kind" you open yourself up to stuff like this:
http://www.motorolatradein.com/
I ran through the questionnaire and it offered me $60 for mine. Needless to say when you can get 3 times that much for just the screen that's not a very good offer.
I'd wait a while. I'm sure something better will be offered.
I am on Republic Wireless. They have always sold the Moto X for $299 off contract but they won't have it as early as other carriers due to their hybrid WiFi/cell ROM, which takes some extra time to roll out. If you want inexpensive service ($40/mo. is their most expensive plan) and are willing to do your own tech support you may want to consider them.
There are caveats to consider. So search the site for "caveats" and you will see what they are.
thanks. I'm looking for an off-contract gsm 64gb version. motomaker had a $100 off coupon a few months ago, just wondering if another coupon exists thats still valid.
Was wondering the same myself.
Probably, but too late, I already preordered the new Moto G. I'm interested in that dual speakers. It'll make a good backup device.
I'm also waiting for discounts! I don't like that they made the new Moto X big so I'm sticking with the old one!
I think all the discounts were the ones already run the last few months. It sounds like many configurations of the original X (TOX?) are already sold out. I think they have been doing pretty decent inventory control for a while in anticipation of the changeover. I could be wrong, but a huge fire sale on large volume would surprise me. I know configurations, such as 64 GB, for some services are already sold out.

Hey gang, I've got a bit of a conundrum here.
I'm the lucky owner of a Nexus 5 and it's a terrific phone. Problem is, my first love was the Moto X. I went with the N5 because it was cheaper off-contract as I currently have NET10. I'm still a little bummed that I didn't get the Moto X and I'm sure it'd be easy to trade the N5 for one but first I'd really like to try one out. Are there any good carriers out there that I can pick up a Moto X from and test drive it for a bit and then return it without taking too much of a financial hit? Carrier doesn't really matter, I want to test out the phone itself, not the service.
Ideally, the phone would be perfect for me and I would be able to trade someone's upgrade for a brand new Moto X from motomaker. Know of any reputable places where people trade phone upgrades?
Thanks all!
Whoops! Just realized this should go in Q&A. Please ignore!
Republic wireless just started selling the moto x for 299 with no contract and a 30 day money back guarantee . if you return it within that time, all you pay is the $10 shipping

trust me go to ebay look up Gazelle store they got good condition moto x going for $340 and obviously off contract. 30 day returns and even free return shipping. I was stuck in the same situation as you choosing between these two. Problem is still haven't decided.
I want to get a Moto X, but I'm under contract with Sprint until April and would like to switch to ATT. I'm wondering if I should buy the Moto X today with the $100 off, wait until April to see if the price drops more, or wait until summer for a possible new version of the phone. Right now I'm leaning toward buying today with the $100 off coupon, but I thought I'd seek the advice of my trusted XDA community. Thanks in advance for any advice/help.
I guess it depends on how set you are on AT&T? If you are certain about AT&T then I'd probably order it as I don't see the Moto X going any lower than $299 for the majority of people.
I also wouldn't expect a new version until August 2014.
You could also just buy a used one in April. They'll probably be about $200 by then.
Keep in mind there are a plethora of phones to be dropped between now and April
MotoX Developer Edition
No...they will likely be on sale for $300 again between now and April. It was less than two months ago they were $350 on sale. Plus you'd lose out on a few months of warranty buying now and letting it sit.
The only thing with getting a used one is I want a specific setup (for me, a big part of the appeal of the Moto X is the customization) and it may be hard to find one used, in good shape, the way I want it. I'm not really interested in any of the other upcoming phones coming out before April, so I don't feel any need to wait and see about those. The thing I'm most hesitant about is getting the Moto X and having a significantly better phone in the same line come out just a few months later. Then again, I guess it's hard to beat $300 off-contract, and any new phone will be significantly more expensive, so it may not be worth waiting until then.
Just buy it, worst case you can sell it when you move on. I've been buying and selling phones for a while and usually I end up spending maybe 400 a year after profit and loss but I go through 3+ phones in the process. I just sold a 400 nexus 5 white for 399.95 all I lost was tax's and shipping so I rented a nexus for 3 months for 60 bucks. 20 a month is Cheaper than subsiding phones with carriers.
MotoX Developer Edition
If you're going to switch to AT&T, unless you're planning to go the prepaid route: it makes better sense to buy on-contract as I recall the Moto X is free then.
If you are certain you want to switch to AT&T, I say purchase it now. My answer is based on the fact, however, that I came from a Galaxy Nexus and anything was a welcome upgrade, and I had decided that I wanted only the Moto X. I'm on Verizon, and have to be due to crappy coverage from everyone else, and will never see another Nexus again. The Moto X is really the only viable alternative. I've pretty much decided to stick with Moto from here on out, provided they keep up the things they've been doing lately. So essentially, if it were me, I'd know that I'd still be set on the Moto X come April. If you're a specs chaser or always want the next big thing, I say wait until April to pick a new phone. I really doubt you'll see a newer Moto X before September though.
Hi,
I'm looking for either getting the next Nexus or the new Moto X. The only thing that bothers me about the last one is the high price. I want the 32 GB version, which is only available using the moto maker. As I don't know how it was handled in the past, here my pretty simple question: Does the moto maker offer any price drops or is it stable like the Nexus on Google play store?
For the Moto X 2013 they did offer promo codes from time to time, but not in the beginning. There was the recent EDU email $50 discount for the 2014 version: https://mdsupport.custhelp.com/ci/documents/detail/2/education.
I don't expect any other soon, my prediction is possible for around Christmas is the nearest, but who knows.
My recommendation is get 32gb version at least, because it only have 24GB of user storage space out of the box, so not a lot.
Well, it looks like the education discount would be still available. Also it shouldn't be too hard to get an .edu mail address for that purpose (remember something I've read about months ago). But I don't find any information, if the promotion is limited to US only or also available in other countries. Will have to take a look at it later.
EDIT: Damn. Got a code, but it's not working in Germany.
Pissed, haven't even received my 32GB, black leather, red trim phone yet, and I can get it $50 cheaper now. My wife has an upgrade available too, can I buy a new one and return the phone to Verizon w/in 14 days?

Why not try asking Motorola for a credit. For the inconvenience of still waiting for your phone and since they've discounted the price. Pick up a turbo charger and a case or something.

Working on that now, though I really only want to get the $50 discount. Only headache is related to the upgrades. The Moto maker process did take my upgrade, so I spoke to Verizion, aside from having to play some upgrade ping pong with the upgrade on my wife's line, there shouldn't be a problem placing a second order and getting the upgrade back when Motorola cancels my first order. If I didn't have another upgrade available, this would be a much bigger deal.
I only placed the original order on 10/8, which is one reason why I am miffed about the discount. I realize that Moto can't always just apply sale pricing to previous purchases. I'm actually pleasantly surprised that they are willing to take the phone back w/ no penalty (15 day buyers remorse program, includes return shipping via FedEx). The upgrade ping pong is a minor annoyance and worth the $50 to me. It would certainly be nice if they could just cancel the first order... on hold regarding that right now. Cancelling the order wasn't possible.
Overall, both Moto and Verizon customer support were very helpful, and I'll be able to get my discounted 32GB, black leather, red trim Moto X 3 days later than the original.
Hey guys,
I've been on the hunt for the next smartphone to replace my old rust bucket Galaxy S4, I think I have my eyes set on the Moto Maxx XT1225 now. Except it seems like this phone is pretty much unobtainable since nothing 'affordable' or not many options out there exist. What's a decent price for this anyway? I've been following Ebay and swappa but nothing really there... I saw $830 on one site, but when I look at Motorola site for Mexico its about $580 I think new. Sucks they're not shipping to US... Thoughts?
You just need to keep watching swappa...they pop up, but seem to sell pretty quickly these days.
Not sure about any other options beyond those you mentioned.
[Edjt]: Forgot to mention...I assume you're subscribed to the Moto Maxx sale page...there's a couple dealers that periodically/regularly get some in.

Yeah I agree, I did notice one that popped up and immediately got sold on Swappa, even though I was subscribed to it... Do you think I should pursue Moto Maxx or keep my S4 and wait for something new from Motorola or OnePlus to come through that will have something better?

Well...that really depends on whether you want to wait, and what specifics you're looking for. I know I love the Maxx, but I'd love it a bit more if it had an IR blaster and OIS on the camera. But it's still my daily driver...probably for quite some time to come.
If I were you, I'd probably grab one if a good one came up at a good price. BUT...if you're a photography buff, Samsung or LG is better.
And the phonea that are coming are (of course) always better. But I tens to buy flagships that are 6 months +/- old...great phones at reduced prices!
Somebody just asked me the same question.
Here's my reply. He saw the $830 one also, but I found cheaper for him:
_________
Here's one on eBay, $749 - with free shipping:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-B...588?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2352d98984
It was $759 this morning, when I first checked -- but the seller just dropped the price $10. Contact him, he might be open to a "best offer".

You just missed one on Swappa:
recent Moto Maxx sales.
http://swappa.com/buy/moto-maxx-unlocked
this one sold for $530 on June 14. Says it was mint condition.
http://swappa.com/listing/WEI213/view
$830 is high. Brand new would be $699 - $749, as it's basically a 5.2" 64GB Nexus 6.
Used would be less. $530 was a great price for "mint" condition.
__________
And no matter what some of these sites say for specs, the XT1225 has LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17. ALL the XT1225 -- the Moto Maxx and Moto Turbo.
Ya, stick with it if you can. I just got a mint one from ebay for $650 couple weeks ago. ($530 was indeed a great price, wish I'd have gotten that!) It's a great device so far!
Is there is a way to get from official moto mexico site? As I understand price in Mexico is around ~590 USD.
Theres a lot of mexicans arround here that would gladly help you get one (me included, just that I'm not very known in here)
