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!!

All I can suggest is to have a friend in the U.S. buy it with -their Credit Card-. You can reimburse them afterwards. Moto is doing address checks to match credit card address with shipping address in attempt to prevent fraud.
Another alternative may be to buy on Swappa - if you can find one customized to your liking. Just be sure to ask the seller if he/she is willing to ship internationally.
And finally, if possible, get the GSM Unlocked (T-Mobile) version (XT1053). It comes SIM-Unlocked, and bootloader-unlockable.
Good Luck.
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.
Hi.
I'm planing on visiting London in the new year, and I want to buy there the Nexus 6. Buying it in IL will cost much more... So where could I find it? How much it'll cost? As a tourist, will I be able to get the taxes back? And does the phones sold in the UK are unlocked, off contract and international?
Thanks. (and sorry for my bad English, it's not my native...)
Carphone warehouse would most likely have it in stock by then in white black 32/64GB These are internationally unlocked . However that being said you need to check what bands your network uses but the N6 is a band powerhouse .
It costs £500 and £550 respectively depending on the GB variant, see below for different currency conversions:
INS: 3103.15 3413.46
Dollars: $779 $856.90
Euros: €634.06 €697.46
Regarding getting tax back after a quick Google it looks like you can claim back the 20% as you live outsite the EU. Please see http://www.heathrowairport.com/stat...ual_PDF/VAT_Refunds/vat-refund-leaflet_EN.pdf
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
