Ya, it's only USA. As for right now at least. That's what they said at IO 2012. I think that has to do with FCC reasons though.

Ah, it's possible, I forgot it. It's like the Nexus 4/10 that isn't available in Belgium :/

Depends on the functions. If it has calling functionality and Google decides to put a CMDA chip in it then XDA can't do much for countries that have GSM (which are a lot of countries).
Mod note:
You may think it's funny to make pseudo racist remarks, but there's a lot of people that would disagree, and plenty of them have the power to ban people from the site.
Please keep childish comments to yourselves in future.
The most realistic option is to sell it via Google Play so the availability it's based on where Google ships internationally.
The first Explorer program (10k people) it's only US because FCC.
Please respect others!

Hrm. I guess no more Nexuses (Nexii?) or Moto Xs? We need someone to champion the pure Android experience with timely updates (a la Apple and iOS)!

Google bought Motorola mainly for the patents and not fot their plants. Google doesn`t want to be a (indirect) phone manufacterer. Thats why they made a deal with Samsung so that they can use and profit from each others patents. I think and hope that the Nexus line will continue to show what the software should look like.

As a side note, this does not signal a larger shift for our other hardware efforts

But that being said, I don't think this has anything to do with the LG manufactured Nexus 5

I just read a tech article that said Google is replenishing the N5 in its Play Store because of slow sales of the Nexus 6. Excuse my french, but WTF? GPS, and Moto are perpetually sold out of N6's, people on the number one smart phone enthusiast forum (xda)/are screaming for more inventory, waiting deaperately for Moto and GPS to get more in stock, and somebody thinks there are slow sales?

You read a rubbish article from "Christian Today" that showed up in your Google Now cards. I read the same article. If you haven't noticed, many of the stories that show up regarding Nexus stuff in the Google Now cards are from unknown or unreputable sources. Christian Today? How is that a foremost authority on anything tech?

I think it's because they haven't had anything new to write about in 2000 years. Haha.
Not meant to offend anyone.
I read that article, I wouldn't take its contents too seriously.

I've been a long time reader of this forum, since blackberry pearl was the newest hottest phone, but until now have yet to register. I got my turbo a week after release, and i love it...i read all these articles who's getting lollipop and when....If motorola is updating all their old phones from 2012, and us with their flagship phone have yet to get it, and there releasing phones this month with 5.0 on them to INDIA of all places, guys Turbo prolly isnt going to see it for awhile if ever...This phone IMO was like verizons ellipsis tablet, released with one update and no further information lol yeah we all want a bug free OS, but to do a 3 year old phone and not your flagship phone?

What the hell do u mean, INDIA of all places? O.O
Motorola gets a really good share of profits only cuz of its sales of Moto G and Moto E in India! And please oh please... I hope u are not being racist!
And there are so many threads discussing this man.. If u said you actually having been reading XDA regularly u would have known better not to clutter the General Forum... What can people at XDA do about this? How can posting here help? Only Motorola can help, contact their customer care or through social media for your answer!!

These threads are tiring.
In that VoLTE is natively supported in 5.1, did you not consider that may be why there was a hold up, because Verizon wanted that?
I'll bet you 1,000.00 dollars we get Lollipop. Are you game? Post your paypal if so. I could use the money from an easily won bet
Edit: And yeah, that India comment was misplaced.
Yeah looks like its confirmed that the 5.1 HD Voice does mean it works with Verzion VoLTE (I wasn't sure based on the screenshot they had). Seems very possible when Motorola learned about this they held off on their 5.01 or whatever with HD Voice added in to just release the version with the code in it already. Which is a good thing. Because had they released 5.0.1 or whatever a couple of weeks ago, you would have people whining for 5.1. Hopefully this means it will hit the Turbo in a short time.
I made a post about the Nexus 6 coming to Verizon with 5.1 already on it and suggested that the DT might be jumping straight to 5.1 around the time the Nexus 6 drops on Verizon. My hit or miss post doesn't seem so irrelevant now. lol

Indeed.
Congrats on your first post FAIL. How could you think the turbo wouldn't get another update that's ludicrous.

Agreed. The phone is still fairly new and considered a current flagship phone for Motorola (Next to the Nexus 6 but that's Google's baby as well so I don't think it can count as Motorola's flagship entirely). Getting back to my point, saying that a flagship phone is not going to get an update to "the latest and greatest in android" is just asking for someone to talk badly about you and even more so a cry for attention. Which is something we don't need.
What I mean by India is a third world country of all places before here where it launched. I hope I am wrong but like my tablet I went into Verizon was was talked to by a salesman to go with this newest device it's a flagship device so I did and the updates are where? I left the Galaxy line with no issues great reception speedy updates... My tablet was the same thing a verizon exclusive updated once and forgotten.
What I'm saying is why update stuff that's old when after two years most people upgrade? My flagship store, I'm there daily to make sure it's running good, clean and people want to come back the old store has a customer base like the old phones they update them when it's time to update them things.

Don't worry about it. It's just kinda tense here sometimes, and we're all kinda surly and curmudgeonly because we seem to be kept in the dark regarding just about everything related to this device. Everyone has or had certain expectations from it and the support that we were expecting by Motorola and/or Verizon, and it's nowhere near as exciting as we'd hoped.

Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing. I was offended by the "third world country" comment and I'm an Italian American! ?
Not much of an apology...
Anyway I gave up wanting lollipop I am hoping Verizon and Motorola scrap the droid and unlock the bootloader

Seriously!?! INDIA is one of the powerful economies right now...!! Third world country? Seriously? Watch your words man... I am not saying this just cus I am an INDIAN n I m proud of it, but just being born in a country doesn't give you the rights to think less of other places.... Country's and states are just imaginary lines that MAN drew on a piece of paper... We are all born equal, nothing gives u the right to enjoy something more n for someone else to do less, just cus they are born somewhere else... OK to make things clear, giving examples from the tech world itself...
1) Sundar Pichai, is an Indian businessman and a Senior Vice President at Google, where he oversees Android, Chrome, and Google Apps.
2) Punit Soni- the Guy who's Google Plus account people used to Flood asking for Motorola Updates? VP at Motorola.
3)One in every 3 Apple engineers is Indian
4)36% of scientists at NASA are Indians
U can google any of that to check for its credibility... I just wanted to prove India or Indians are no less... Please broaden ur mindset!

So now I am ignorant compared to your vast Indian intellect? I can't read or comprehend english?
It's obvious we will get lollipop and now that 5.1 was released looks like that's what Motorola was waiting for and or the nexus 6 coming soon to vzw. Patience is a virtue and now that we have about 5 months now without lollipop then let's keep waiting. Better having a less bugs version than getting a rushed update of 5.0.1 or 5.0.2
