It's not fixed, until it's fixed. Doesn't matter whose fault it was. Well, actually, it does, Moto could have not released a phone with a camera so pathetic, that it needed a first month update to fix it.
Any focus group would have told them that this camera is just horrible. It doesn't matter if the carrier is holding up the updates. Updates shouldn't have been needed.
My point still stands, until the camera is fixed, it sucks. It is not fixed until the phone is updated.
Apple just now took Siri out of "beta" with the release of iOS 7. That is 3-1/2 years after it was touted as a huge benefit to the iPhone. Yes, the iPhone has a reputation for a fantastic camera in a phone. But it has a static, closed, locked, dull, non-customizable interface/user experience.
What I see time and again with these threads/arguments is the belief that a single manufacturer is supposed to deliver the following:
1) Metallic body
2) Supercomputer level processor
3) 4k resolution screen that is bright enough to blind the astronauts on the ISS
4) 2 TB of storage
5) 8 GB of RAM
6) Star Trek replicator capabilities
7) Built-in mind control device
8) Universal radios to support every worldwide carrier
9) A nuclear power source that won't need recharging for 80 years
10) A $99 off-contract price
In all reality, every manufacturer has to make trade-offs to deliver a product that can be priced for profit and sell in high volume. Apple was first to the table with a truly great formula of user experience and perceived quality. They backed that with unquestioned--and unparalleled--customer service. Everyone has been playing catchup to that formula, and not all have been anywhere near as successful.
That being said, the Moto X delivers all of the things that Android promised for years. A great user experience, a solid battery, a decent screen, a (nearly universally praised) excellent form factor, exceptional customization options (with Motomaker), and (with the impending software fix) a very good camera. This, like any other Android phone and Windows phone and Apple phone has trade-offs. It's a reality and it is inevitable.
Don't like the camera? Think it's crap? Then go buy a damn iPhone 5S and deal with the limitations and problems inherent with that phone and its ecosystem. Seriously. [inappropriate content deleted by moderator] LOL
