[Q] Buy Moto X (1st gen) now or wait? - Moto X Q&A

Hi guys,
I want to buy an unlocked Moto X (1st gen), should I buy it now ($ 350) or do you guys think the price will drop when we're closer to the new Moto X release?
I'm guessing that once the new Moto X becames available at motomaker, the 1st gen won't be available anymore, right?
I could wait until no further than Sept 20th because I don't live in the USA and a friend of mine is staying there until the end of the month so he'd bring it to me.
Thank you!

$350 seems really high when a new 2014 Moto G is selling for $179.
What does everyone think is a fair price for a used 2013 Moto X now that the 2014 Moto phones have been released ???

I bought a new Gen 1 as the Gen 2 offers me nothing I feel is worth waiting for, and I do not like larger phones.

I'm in the same boat and wondering the same thing. I currently have a GS3 and prefer to stick with the 1st gen Moto X.

I'd buy a developer's edition

[Q] Soak Test for Moto X 2013 Confirmed as live by Motorola - Anybody have it yet?

Just done a quick live chat with Motorola support regarding Lollipop on the Moto X 2013 and he advised that the soak test is already under way. Does anyone have this update yet? I'm too impatient to wait for the OTA so wondering if anyone has the ROM uploaded anywhere bugs and all?
Not sure how to show screenshot on here but have attached a picture of the chat
The chat guys don't know that much... I would take anything they say with a grain of salt.
@richwright1, I wouldn't consider that "confirmed"
There is no mention of 2013 vs 2014 until you bring it up halfway through the chat, and the Moto rep never mentions 2013 vs 2014, or Gen 1 vs Gen 2.
I also chatted with support here in india.
he said that the soak tests are going on for moto g gen 1 devices in india and he had no info on moto x
I was on the 'MOTO X 2013' support chat and not the 2014 so the live chat was regarding the specific device already if that helps

Here in Brazil a friend of my also received information about the soak test of the 2013 Moto X in India.
Yeah they don't know anything about android 5 update . In morning i read that motorola has started chat support in india. So i thought i would give a try. Here is a screenshot of my conversation with motorola. They are not giving any information about update.

HELP !!!
GUYS GUYS HELP ME.
I'll keep it short. Moto X XT 1052 . Screen broken. LCD working. Getting just the SCREEN somewhere but for Moto X XT 1060.
Will there be any difference in the size, shape or compatibility between XT 1052 and XT 1060.
The catch is seller is selling XT 1056, 1058, 1060 outer glass at Different Prices. So, if screen size is same then why different prices ??
PLS HELP !!

You might have more success in a new thread, or another thread about the LCD glass, not the soak test.
To my knowledge, all the phones are physically the same size/shape/etc. The screen should fit regardless of what model it says it is for. Anyone else can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong in that thought.
Yaa buddy sorry for posting here. Wanted a quick opinion.
Even i feel that the variants shouldn't vary in the pricing, though i also have no idea why is the seller selling different variant screens at different prices.
I think that they are unaware of the variant number and have used it randomly. I think ill buy that outer glass and wish me luck that i could get it replaces successfully cuz its damn difficult and risky to do that ..

[Q] Moto G 2nd Gen 4g relase date?

Does anyone have any ideas when the Moto G 2nd gen (I think its 2nd gen?) 4G version will be released?
I've not heard anything other than the specs that were released by accident on Motorola's Brazilian website.
I am debating whether it is worth waiting or if I should pick up the present 4G model at a discount or a used one on ebay.
I'd wait...Retailer Argos in the UK have already announced they will be stocking it. Wait awhile its gonna pop up any day now.
Moto G 2nd generation

We are currently receiving updates to Lollipop when Lenovo own motorola - so ownership really has nothing to do with it
it will be a case of will Moto g 2nd gen hardware be deemed capable of running next major android version
I see no reason why why Moto g 2nd gen cant run 5.1 android - the moto G 2nd gen should have at least a 2 year lifespan with updates

Finding cheap Moto X

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
