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!!

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
I'm in Canada and finding it a bit of a challenge to find a workaround to get the Moto X through MotoMaker. I'm going to the US in October and was wondering if there are any stores that would carry the unlocked Pure Edition so I could just walk in and buy it?
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?

Yup it is. Only US has different versions due to the carrier stuff. Here its all the pure version

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.
I know there are various generations and versions of the Moto G. Do any work well with T-mobil?
yea the moto g model #xt1064 works with T-mobiles Hspa+ bands
you can get one from best buy
XT1064 here running unlocked on T-Mobile without issues. Picked it up at Sears for $133 last night. $2.60 unlock code on eBay.
