How long do you think Motorola's Cyber-Monday Sale for the Moto X will last?

[gabbott]

This deal applies to the DE edition for all carriers too, doesn't it?

Awesome, thanks. I just hope I get a nice buck for my GS3 so that I can keep the X.

"Supplies will be limited"

I Don't believe it'd going to sell out that quickly. 95% of people don't even know what a "off contract" phone is. They look at this deal and will think its a rip off

The Nexus 4 and 5 proved that wrong

Overall numbers for the Nexus devices are very low in the scope of things. The Nexus 4 sold, what, a couple million or so. Considering that somewhere around ? billion Android phones will sell this year, it's not much.

I've kind of sold myself on this deal too, even though a Droid Maxx would be a better fit for my needs.

As I see it, I can get a Moto X for about $380 after sales tax and if I decide to screw-around with the Motorola Trade-in program I can probably save another $80. I also think there's an opportunity to get $10 in Google Play Credit and then there's the added incentive of extra storage (50 GB?) for two years on Google Drive.

I currently have a first generation Razr Maxx and I'd really like to upgrade to a phone that has NFC so I can use Google Wallet and set-up some custom NFC tags.

To be fair, we don't know the difference in scale of production between the X and the Nexus 4/5. For all we know, the Nexus production could be 1/10th of that X.

Playing around with different Motomaker Moto X designs this morning and their website already seems to be buggy... Anybody else seeing this?

As I type this I am waiting for the moto maker site to load just to take a look around. Sure does seem like something is up with the site.

The Nexus 4 sold around 3 million units if I recall correctly. There are approximately 140 million AT&T and T-Mobile customers in the US alone. Even if all the Nexus 4 devices went to US customers (they didn't), that is only 2.1% of customers on major carriers. This doesn't include the US GSM customers that use MVNOs. I think that Dazz87 was pretty close in his/her estimate of people who really know about off-contract phones.

True, but whether or not an item sells out or not doesn't depend on how much interest is in it in the abstract, but in how much interest is in it compared to the supply. It isn't necessary that a significant swatch of all mobile users have an interest in a device, only that more users have interest than units available.

With that being said, a likely reason for this kind of a sale about six months after a device's launch has to be that it already hasn't sold well. Which probably means they've got more units than expected in inventory. So, who knows.

Exactly. There aren't 140 million Moto X units in production, so comparing a phone's sales to the number of mobile phone customers doesn't prove anything.

Agreed. Though you never know; for example, in the case of the Nexus 4, while it only sold a few million units, there wasn't any overproduction, shown by how quickly it sold out after the price drop (even with a successor imminent, which isn't the case in the situation of the Moto X).

I just used the MotoMaker site to set up my profile and to save a Moto X design and the site seemed really slow - especially the part where you store/retrieve a design.

It will be interesting to see how the site performs tomorrow morning.

How do you retrieve a saved design on the Moto Maker website?

Never mind: I finally found it by hovering over my name at the top of the screen.

 

[dazz87]

think it will last whole day, and dont think they will sell many few thousand units probably ..dont think they will even run out of stock ..loads of people dont want to pay 350$ upfront for off contract phone when they can get phones for 1cent on a contract ..

And get that free phone and pay 100 bucks for 2 GB of data for two years. While someone get this phone and pay 30-60 per month. Another of people out there just dont know.

Anybody have any idea if you can buy 2 so uou can get the 12 months financing or will it just be 1 per order?

I think you only have to buy 1 Moto X to get the 12 months financing. I believe the new Moto financing plans have 0% interest for 6 months, 12 months or 18 months, depending on the amount of your purchase. If over $549, you qualify for 18 months, but if you just purchase 1 phone at $349 or $399, I think that price point qualifies you for the 12 month 0% financing plan. If somebody knows otherwise, I'd like to know. Also, as far as I know, you can buy as many phones as you want until their limited supply runs out.

Thanks!

I tried asking a rep on chat but she had no idea. Hopefully the site holds up tomorrow. I've been having issues with it

I just checked it and my saved designs popped right up. Tomorrow could be a different story though...
