I still think this will be the beginning of Motorola's "Galaxy" line, and in that sense this will be something to keep an eye on, regardless of whether people say it's no big deal or not.12-30-2012 02:37 PMLike 0
- Of course there's nothing surprising about Google using Motorola to make devices, but there should obviously be lots of hype and anticipation to see what kind of phone Google and Motorola can make.
I want a phone that looks like the Nexus, has a battery like the Razr Maxx, has Motorola quality radios, and gets updates straight from Google. That all seems feasible.DustyBottoms likes this.12-30-2012 03:30 PMLike 1 - So you want a moto nexus.... Been covered.
The first real googlrola phones won't hit until the second half of next year

I will say however that I got to play with a maxx HD today and was impressed. Actually felt decent in the hand unlike it's previous version and the ui is not as much of a cluster **** as I originally perceived. If I were in the market it would be a strong consideration.

Backstory is whoever was updating Motorola's test servers updated the wrong one, accidentally pushing an early Jelly Bean live. Posts from other Motorola insiders indicate Verizon isn't too happy about having to support (and in some cases even swap out phones for) people who got this update.12-31-2012 01:51 PMLike 0 - Oh I read that one, didn't realize it was a mistake

Unless Google is subsidizing some of the cost of this phone (I'm still in the camp that believes the Nexus 4/7/10 pricing is being subsidized by Google), the carrier version of this phone will have similar prices to phones now.Jaycemiskel likes this.01-02-2013 11:30 AMLike 1 - ..it's a collaboration with Google in the sense that Google owns Motorola and Motorola is using Android.

Google X Phone rumor analysis: Samsung competitor possibleBottom-line: yes, the xPhone is Googles attempt to full-on copy the Apple ecosystem, hardware plus software plus app store, all fully controlled by one company. This has proven extremely profitable for Apple. I think the xPhone is also an attempt by Google to squeeze any value it can from its extremely costly Motorola acquisition. But, I also believe that the xPhone is a long-term hedge against the rising power that Samsung has within Googles own Android ecosystem. In the smartphone wars, friends and enemies can shift frequently. Google understands this.01-04-2013 10:39 AMLike 0 -
While it's possible Samsung could use a fork of Android, we all saw iPhone users flock back to Google Maps as soon as it was released on the iPhone, who's to say that wouldn't happen with a forked Samsung device running Bing maps?
I think this is Google taking Motorola in the same direction that Samsung and Apple are going, but not that Google's intent is to compete with Samsung.
The author refuses to consider why Android is an open source operating system in the first place. It's so that as many people use android as possible, giving Google as much information to sell as possible. Samsung has been a major player in the Android brand, but I would be very surprised if they were actually hurting Google at all.01-04-2013 11:21 AMLike 2 - RyModerator CaptainI do not agree with many parts of this article. First of all, how does this one person know where Google is making its money? From what I understand Google is an information company, making money through advertising and selling that information to advertisers. In that sense, Android has been a huge success in gathering data for Google to use and sell.

Plus, everything else I have seen has said not stock android on this phone, which would mean that the updates come through moto. That does not mean they will not be timely, but it does mean they will not be directly from Google.
Also, Google taking any real control or favoritism toward moto would be completely opposite of what they said they would do and have done. Just because they own them, does not mean that they are any more of a part of Google than any other company in terms of business. They have to bid in Google's business just like every other oem.
Google having moto is just like owning a car in a lot of cars that you all can drive. Yes you happen to own that one, but you can choose to drive whatever car you want. Sometime you want the fastest car, sometimes you want the most efficient, sometimes you want the best looking, and sometimes you want the most fun to drive.

Google probably makes more money off of apple than android. Google would have no reason to attack any of the oems. It would be self destructive.

Snapdragon 800 at 2.0 GHz
32 GB storage (lets face it, wont have microSD)
1080p screen at 4.7-5.0 inches
13MP camera with improved low-light, stability, etc (just hoping for more consistent quality shots)
Improved battery for at least 24h of moderate use
Im flexible on software - stock android would be great but moto's UI has come leaps and bounds - maybe more on the way?
What do you guys think? What have you guys liked in terms of build materials, etc?01-08-2013 03:27 PMLike 0 - I wouldn't give up on the sdcard slot... The RAZR HDs have them

- So is this phone unless it is a q3 release. Besides that, Google will not have much to do with moto.
