I've got the Moto X, you've got questions ? fire away!

Long time Motorola user here and currently use Razr Maxx HD. I can possibly live without the SD, but so many are wondering why they have digressed in battery capability with a 2200 battery vs even the older 3300 or newer 3500. I get its for thinness and other issues, but the Razr Maxx HD is already crazy thin. No way I can go from a two day battery that will always get me through a full day, to something they hope will get through a whole day with "moderate" usage. I just don't see this being worth all the hype. I wanted the phone, but for people to break their contracts and buy something new, it has to WOW you, and has to be cheap off contract. Battery life is no good for this heavy user.

Hey Phil,

If you could use motomaker and build your own Moto X, what colors schemes would you choose?

Folks need to stop expecting every phone to be priced like a Nexus. It's an aberration.

You think so? I guess we got spoiled with the nexus 4 pricing. Maybe the nexus 5 well be priced the same. To me this phone is a great phone to buy used off swappa. Not to use your upgrade on.

how about the camera performance and display,phil?
just hope it available globally but...

 

[rizzman]

Sounds like a great little phone. I think the biggest question on everyone's mind is.... When will AC be raffling one off?

Phil,

Does the moto X feel better in hand than the Galaxy Nexus? Which one would be better, Gnex running latest CM or Moto X?

 

[yankeesusa]

I heard google will unevil soon the Google Edition of Motorola X. which services from the X will be available on the Google's one?

I don't see the point of a Google phone if it's going to be updated by manufacturer and not Google. Yes, the phone is rid of bloatware but the advantage was immediate updates with nexus phones. I'd rather have a manufacturer ui if I'm gonna wait for manufacturing to update. I can always root and remove bloatware myself. Oh well. If they sell good they'll keep making them

Phil,
At the event did they talk about it getting 4.3 at all?

I guess nexus devices will still the the first to get updates

 

[vader88]

Can you use something other than "Ok, google now" for the keyword/phrase? I saw a video that shows the training and it says to say that but I am wondering if you can just say whatever you want.

Interesting. Have 2 lines on a shared plan now. Wonder if this will work.

I've had difficultly finding someone who has had hands on time with the droid ultra and moto x.I have the opportunity to get either the special edition ultra for $99 or pony up the extra hundred for the moto x. I like the idea of the bigger screen on the ultra, but those capacitive buttons! Ugh. Having used the x does it feel better than the ultra ($100 extra) what would you do?

What are the benchmarks score ;-)

Do you think that Motorola and Google will support this phone for at least 2 years?

 

[drhill]

Phil,

Since you completely ignored the previous question about wireless charging I'll ask again. Does it have wireless charging? It's one of two things that concerned me. The other was off contract price, and that one isn't happening.

 

[fritzo81]

When will we see a review Phil? Thanx!

Are the 'mid range' specs reflective of actual performance, or should we not be overly worried about it?

 

[seanlongoria]

Phil,
Did Moto put Smart Actions on this phone?

How's game performance on intense games such as Modern Combat 4 / NOVA 3? In general use is there any lag in system apps?

 

[techydavid]

the moto x will not have an sd slot, but will it support usb otg? if not, and you're limited to internal memory, then the moto x is x'ed off my upgrade list. lol

No it does not have wireless charging and off contract pricing will be around 600 dollars.
