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.

Does anyone know when the new X will be available in the UK?
I'm just waiting for the Buy button to become available so I can press it.

From what I have heard it will be before the end of the month. Amazon will have stock from the 30th for standard 16GB models.
I would take a guess and say that the option to buy direct from Motorola through Moto Maker will come this week with delivery within 7-10 working days.
you can now buy it in germany but the website doesn't allow shipping to holland, looks like i am out of luck
I hope it comes this week as I'm after a 32GB model and don't mind pre-ordering it.
Anyone any the wiser yet? I find it confusing the amazon uk page has the resin back one to be released on the 30th, and the leather one to be released on the 15th oct....?
The basic 16GB one has now gone on sale in Amazon UK.
Still no order button on Moto Maker site yet.

It says shipping from October 7th. I think there will be a slight delay as it has also been the case in the US for Moto Maker orders. There seems to be a part backlog from China.
Yeah true
I've just pre ordered a black leather one from Clove.co.uk - expecting to dispatch Oct 3rd I'd think it'll be delayed further but lets see
Really desperate for this phone too. I've been waiting for far too long.
Amazon UK, Clove, Mobilephonesdirect, all have the 16GB models.
I'm looking for the 32GB one...
Does anyone know if US warranty will be honored in the UK?
Thinking of ordering the 32GB from motomaker in the US.
Fair enough, i've found 16GB (well 10GB actual) is ok for me. Are you sure you can even order from the US motomaker? I tried just now and its 'locked' to US when selecting country to ship to...

I've got a friend who can mail it to the UK.
So if US warranty works in the UK, I wouldn't mind ordering it from there.
Since the OTA unlocks all LTE bands, so it should work with LTE networks here.
I asked Motorola when the Moto Maker 32GB edition will become available but they said they're not allowed to say.
Unlocked Mobiles has it for £395, but I don't know how much stock they have. Can't see anyone else with any at all.
I have been repeatedly tweeting Motorola UK and US asking for a release date for both the standard and MotoMaker models, but they say nothing other than "soon". This is a really, really bad launch. Worse even than the 2013 Moto X. Feels like they don't want anyone to buy one
Ordered mine from Motomaker last night. Estimated delivery is 13th October. It's expensive, but with no 5" Nexus coming it's the best way for me to get L, and I loved the original so we'll see how it goes. I've been light on the customizations so I can always sell it on if I don't like it.
Good idea
Ordering mine through moto maker tonight. Cancelled my order with clove as I'd prefer some customisation, I'll post my estimated delivery time here. Does anyone know which courier they use?

I was going to go for the turquoise as it looks really nice in the photo on the Motorola site, but I don't know whether to go for the white or black front. I'm also looking at the Royal Blue back but the previews on Moto Maker aren't particularly good.
I'll update if I get a shipping notification. Ordered about an hour after it going live and there is such a dearth of hype on this device that I'm hoping I'll be front of the dispatch queue.
They've really flopped with this launch. Imagine if Apple sold a similar concept - design your own device. Everyone would go bonkers!
Apparently Clove has Black Resin and the White/Bamboo one in stock today, so if people want one sooner that might be the way to go. The black one actually doesn't look nearly as boring as I thought it would.
Also - really hoping that they send us the European model with the correct LTE bands. I've heard that the US Pure Edition doesn't have support for 3's LTE which needs bands 3 and 20.
The Moto Maker UK site is now allowing orders to be processed. There is now a Buy button.
Just waiting for my damn credit card to arrive!!!!

Yep, see above. Been live since Wednesday evening.
I would like to know which one is better in terms of performance,camera,battery and money. I am planning to buy a new smartphone by next week.
Is moto g 2014 available only in online sites? Is there any store in Cochin(Kerala) which I can buy moto g 2014??
Go for moto g, trust me, I'm an ex-micromax user and I don't wanna go back, ever. They'll provide you with better specs but it'll stop working properly after 5-6 months and the service centers, they'll take your phone for months and still not fix it.

Hello people
So I decided to do an expedited shipping for my moto X since some of the leather was peeling. So I get the redemption code and all and then I make the new moto X. Then it says that its completed but I still haven't gotten any confirmation email or anything from Moto about the new one. So I come to you guys, is this some sort of miscommunication or what?
Regards,
Shahrukh Raza
I'm on my 7th moto g 2014 in two weeks because every one I got had a yellow tint on the top or the bottom and sometimes both. I just got my 7th replacement from the retailer and this one also has the tint on the top. Seven in a row with the same problems?
What the hell is with Motorola quality control?
However I did get a €20 discount with a voucher so the phone being already cheap took some pain away knowing I got a decent discount.
Anyways I've decided to just put up with the yellow tint on this one and in the new year I'll send it off under warranty to Motorola and let them replace the stupid screen. I just know the retailer is gonna give me an 8th bad one if I bring it back again . Luckily there is a two year warranty with these phones and hopefully Motorola will pay close attention and give me a decent screen.
I did have the 2013 moto g before this and it was perfect. Maybe being in Lenovas hands now they are skimping using extra cheap screen who knows.
