No, this time of year is CDT. CST is for Fall/Winter.

It was the exact same situation last year. We just all forgot.
Regardless, its not a full 24 hours later. Everything goes out the public at 1 AM Chicago time this morning.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook

"Here is what I know: "Info goes live at 1am CST, Friday 9/5" .. that is Chicago time."

Honestly, they should of just released the info at like 8AM or 9AM when people in the US are actually fucking up.

I didn't realize most people in the US fuck up at around 8 or 9 in the morning.

or maybe they're releasing the info at a time when their actual target audience is up and us silly Americans should just read about it when we wake up.
Aw man, I thought Moto's conference was TODAY! Nobody announces products on Fridays!
Ah, Motorola listened to me!
"Motorola livestream starting at 2:30 Central time"

They are though. They barely upgraded anything and called it their new flagship. Should've called it Xperia Z2S.
Very likely. When the app loads up you can see the location icon pop up briefly on the status bar.
I own an LG G3, and I agree.
However, seeing Sony release a follow up to the Z2 with nearly identical specs, I hesitate to stand up and cheer for them.

Not totally sold on the display for this reason though...
I like the sunlight deal, but why companies keep fucking with the colour gamut is beyond me. Well it isn't really. I guess customers like it SRGB scale be damned.

Faceless , you are too predictable. I knew 2 years ago you were going to pick Note 4. Have you consider the Oppo Find 7? The US version on their website is $500 but you can get it for $450 if you have an .edu email. Join the superior GSM/LTE master race and dump the ghetto carrier that is Sprint.
The Find 7 is way better than the One plus one.

I like LG watch's design language much better than the 360. The LG watch is a mid-tier casual watch that's made to look like a casual/sports watch; the google 360 watch is mid-tier watch pretend to be a luxury watch.

Yep... because communication by Moto isn't their strong suit...
pctx must have sent the invite.
I don't get this. They sent out a press in invite for the 4th to get press to attend an event they didn't say much about to anyone except press. Everyone assumes they'll announced everything today and have live streams and shit, even though they never even mentioned anything of the sort, and get mad. Now they've come out and said that things will be announced properly to the public tomorrow which was the plan all along. Why the vitriol?

Because for something this major, you don't just go "Oh, sorry, change of plans." at the last minute or just even forget about that they did this. It's just bad communication and lack of clarification on this sort of thing.

They will be doing a livestream Q&A tomorrow at 2:30PM.

They had a whole website section setup pimping this out. It is just a press thing behind closed doors today. Doesn't mean it was totally billed that way.
Again if they had just said that from the start nobody would have an issue.
The lack of communication part I can get, but was it really a last minute change of plans? Considering they never mentioned anything about a proper announcement I'd wager this was the plan all along.

Not on the west coast...
Honestly, I find the Edge rather sexy. But I know it'll be one of those early-adopter regret purchases over lack of any significant feature that takes advantage of it.
And also: regarding my IMEI debacle that occurred with the GNote II I bought as a gift, it seems (if the seller is to be believed; he hasn't given me any indication that he's lying considering how much work he's putting in to rectify this), that the blacklisted IMEI has been lifted and it should be usable within 24 hours. Apparently, T-Mobile made a mistake and blocked it for whatever reasons they had to do (the seller claims the account was paid off in full). So I'm not sure what gave them the go-ahead to do block it to begin with. We'll see tomorrow if the phone re-activates and this whole thing is behind me. According to Swappa, T-Mobile does this petty frequently.

Who do you think you are? Emperor Palpatine?
Some Brazilian site posted this video on Youtube and took it down shortly after. You can see the X+1 in the beginning and a few new things from the 360, including the heart rate app.

and new watch face
Pricing seems to be $250 from BB employees and they have the stock. Release date is either tomorrow or the 7th for Sunday.

Please Moto, make the new X reasonable. PLEASE.
Someone remind me why we want 1440p screens on our phones for reasons other than VR
Here's a quote from arstechnica's hands on with the note 4:
"The screen here is supposed to be the big difference, moving from 1920×1080 on the Note 3 to 2560×1440 on the Note 4. Both devices are 5.7 inches, so we're moving from 386 PPI to a whopping 515 PPI.
Even side by side, it's hard to see a difference between the Note 3 and Note 4 screens, and in terms of practical use for a smartphone, these absurdly high PPIs don't do anything for the end user. The last time we saw a device with such a high pixel density was the LG G3, and there the screen actually hurt the device more than helped itit provided little tangible benefit and only served to drain the battery faster."
