Bloomberg saying that Android smart watch is the real deal. Also it might be it's own device without the need for a separate linked Android phone. The smart watch might be the phone.

I'm sold.

Got that delicious CyanogenMod 10.2 on my Note II early this morning. Android 4.3 screams!

Welcome to the club. Enjoy your stay

Yeah, the ATT 4G logo is worse.

 

[killertofu]

Yeah, the ATT 4G logo is worse.

But they dont' stick it on the back of phones, do they?

At least the Death Star logo on ATT looks kinda nice.

Not, 1. Check mark. 2. Verizon. 3. 4G. 4.LTE logos all on it

 

[Vanillalite]

That game Dots is legit especially in terms of app design. Its really clean and the color choices just work soooo well. Mad props to whoever made this.

 

[The Faceless Master]

It could be worse...you guys could have the AT&T 4G logo....So ugly. Mafuckin flamez yo.... :/

And lol @ the Verizon Note 2 button. That's fucking bold

but they don't put it on phones





or tablets

 

[ThatObviousUser]

But they dont' stick it on the back of phones, do they?

Worse, they shove it into the status bar.

 

[DrFunk]

ATT putting the carrier name/ fugly logo in status bar is some low shit, but you can change it if you root and modify the build.prop:

Optimus G Pro

"Root and modify" shouldn't have to be the answer, lol.

Verge: Motomakes: How to design your Moto X

Do we really need to see him using the computer? Just give me screen capture, shitty verge.

at least it's doable, what can you do about a Verizon button? disassemble the phone to replace it?

Carrier branding shouldn't even be a thing in the first place.

Sprint has scaled back on carrier branding!

but that raises the button... might as well take some duct tape and cover the AT&T carrier branding on the screen...

$10 for something that should be $1

"Scaled back" ain't good enough!

I'm inclined to agree. I've been playing it increasingly throughout the day, great time killer as well.

Making the OT now. Figured I'd wait until later today since the rumored Verizon release is next Friday.

Samsung Chromebook is still a much better deal IMO.

well, that depends on what device you get... some have carrier branding, most don't.

 

[Vanillalite]

It's the better unit, but the price is almost double that of the referb Acer model. $129 is pretty cheap for a chrome netbook.

Greater than the sum of its specs: Google’s Moto X reviewed
It's more expensive than we'd like, but it's a big step forward for Motorola.

and that's just the first two lines of text on the first page!?!?

Anyone know how much of a battery drainer NFC is when it's left on? Is it like GPS when it only really uses battery when it needs it?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

The short version: Finally, a flagship phone that feels great to hold. Where the Nexus 4, Galaxy S 4, HTC One, and others are all a little uncomfortable for one reason or another, the Moto X gives you a phone you can use one-handed, without ripping out all of the desirable features.

 

[Groof]

If you're in the market for a new Android phone right now, we would still ask you to consider a Galaxy S 4, HTC One, or even a cheaper phone like the Galaxy S III before we'd recommend the Moto X.

My 16gb S4 doesn't allow me to move apps to the SD card. Google Play Music doesn't allow you to store music on the SD card. I have a 32gb SD card and nothing at all to put on it

I can use the Nokia 520 quite comfortably too.

I had the same experience on my Samsung tablet, pretty much rooted just for that reason.

Mine is rooted and has a GE Rom flashed onto it. Still can't move anything there. no idea how to do it, cant find answers on xda or anywhere. Very frustrating.

ES File Manager doesn't seem to allow me to move apps

Honestly I don't see the point of having a Moto Nexus at this point in time, if they are going to sell the Moto X directly from the play store (with customization and all).

The 600 makes sense to me, especially if they want to hit the $300 price point. I also heard a rumor that said they would use an S4, there's no chance in hell they will use the same processor two years in a row.

The ugly
Google and Motorola are using a lesser SoC and a lower-resolution screen, but they're not passing those savings on to you
