    Anyone know what hardware version the Moto G sold by Cricket is?

    I tried, but the guy I was talking to was useless and told me the only information available is what's on the website. He was supposed to transfer me to some tech support department that could provide better information, but actually transferred me to a different rep that was even worse.

    Identify hardware variant? Moisture damage indicators? Weak, buzzy vibration?

    How can you figure out what hardware version a given Moto G is (e.g. US GSM, global GSM, CDMA, other?)? Are there any moisture / water damage indicators I can check on a Moto G? Is weak, buzzy vibration (e.g. for haptic feedback) typical on these?

    Are you smoking what Google-Motorola smoking....?

    Xactly. They are TRIPPIN over at Google / Motorola if they try to price it like that off-contract. It's hard to see how they can avoid it if it's $200 on-contract. Wouldn't bother me, but I expect it would bother the people that buy it for $200 on-contract. Even if the price is right for the...

    What would stop you from buying the Moto X?

    1) That's what I figured, but there are plenty of scenarios where that puts person B in range: people having conversations, in cars, in businesses, restaurants, schools, on buses and trains, etc. etc. 2) Right. Just taking dialing as an example, there are a few scenarios I'm picturing. I)...

    What would stop you from buying the Moto X?

    I'm really curious to see if this thing includes full USB OTG (e.g. powered) and MHL. I was close to recommending the Nexus 4 to someone, but the galling lack of USB On-The-Go (especially in light of its limited internal storage and lack of card slot) was a dealbreaker for me. F' that. Also...
