Had a talk with a higher up at Motorola, someone who's job it is to know the pipeline, and this person revealed to me that no Nexus phones are due out of Motorola this year. They did however recently file paperwork with Google to be considered the manufacture of next years Nexus phone.

It was further revealed to me in this conversation the possibility of a "lesser" version of the Moto X which may be released later this year but there is no confirmation on that yet. Finally they confirmed AT&T does indeed have a 90-day exclusive on Moto Maker which means all other carriers should have access sometime in November.

The general caveats should be applied:
  • This should be considered a rumor
  • This person could be wrong/misinformed
  • Things could always change

Yeah... lots of rumors swirling around whether Motorola or LG will make the Nexus 5. Who knows... you might have gotten the true scoop.
 
I always have my doubts about these "I know/met a guy who" rumor thread, but at least you're honest about it. I tend to believe it. I think Google will hold fast with the 2012 Nexus manufacturers. It did so with Asus for the next gen 7, and I expect it will with LG for the 5 (and Samsung for the next gen 10).
