They've chnaged it back to 4.4.4 apparently. I don't buy it was a mistake. Why would they be changing the listed OS at all yesterday if the 5.1.x update is still "in the lab?" I still think the new Turbos will have 5.0.2 and will be udpated to 5.1.x when the older ones get the update pushed. That's my educated hunch anyway. Ima go tweet that as fact...
Looks like like a Samsung phone. Just a troll. Please move along.

This also supports my hunch. New Droids will have 5.0.2 out of the box, until the 5.1.x update is ready. Then all get updated. Maybe by Christmas.

Yes... just having some fun, sorry. It's actually a Moto Droid Bionic getting 5.1. The 6 users in the U.S. demanded the update, and VZW listened.

Congratz... looks to be a very good phone, and probably the best camera on any smartphone today. I suppose you had to pay full retail for the upgrade since the Turbo ain't very old... but the good thing is the full retail price is fairly reasonable.

Thanks. I'd been drooling over the camera, but still hemming and hawing overall. Lollipop isnt't even a deal breaker for me, but the way things have been handled, going back to the fiasco in January/February (soak testers publicly revolted as mentioned here a few days ago), enough is enough.
There's definitely plenty I'll miss about the Turbo.

That's not totally true. But I admit, Motorola has been far more vocal.

Smart choice, that's the phone I will switch to if I have to start a new contract. That camera is amazing.

When has Verizon ever given an official date for when an upgrade will come? And some CSR making up a date doesn't count as official

Doesn't Verizon still have to bloat it and test it before it gets pushed out? If so then this could be quite an extended wait.
The included Verizon is part of what is tested. Verizon doesn't test a build and then specify what needs to be added - they specify what needs to be added, Motorola (in this case) adds it and then provides it for testing.

Thanks. Hope to run in to you around the G4 water cooler. I'm looking forward to our daughter's basketball camp at the end of the month. It's in the same gym where she has her winter program, so the conditions will be very similar to those with which I struggled on the Turbo (and had better esults with the Maxx). I've always loved sports photography, and now to be able to blend that with love of my daughter...I just should have been having a lot more fun!

I know you just got it, but since this is a battery life thread, how is the G4 compared to the Turbo on battery life?
