Re: Motocare
Confirmed by Motorola:
Motocare WILL be offered on the Nexus 6 IFF purchased @ motorola.com
Is there more to Moto Care than shown on their
site?
The 'if your phone is lost, we can lock or wipe your device remotely' feature is already standard on
Android Device Manager and offers this (along with GPS locating and 'ringing' your device, even if on silent) to any Android device running Froyo (2.2) and up.
The 'Moto Care app can monitor your phone usage and give you helpful hints about how to get the most out of it' sounds like it pretty much does a similar task to what will be included on the Nexus 6 anyway, and would just add another drain on the battery if it actively monitors usage.
The 'Phone on loan' program does sound nice, if it includes loaners vs non-warranty phones sent in for paid repair - though I'd personally never send in a phone for any type of service that I haven't hard reset first, so the migrate app loses a little value unless they ship the loaner first. For warranty issues, Motorola offers advance replacement on most of their devices anyway.
I'm not trying to 'come down on' Moto Care - just hoping to learn if there are other benefits not listed on that site, or aspect to those benefits I may not be aware of, that add value not already essentially provided with a Nexus 6 purchased from any authorized seller.
