Do Google employees responsible for pricing know they can use their own search engine for real time currency conversion?

Canada LOLLLLLLLLL
I wonder if carriers are still going to keep it at 650 no term for 32gb or increase it to match google.
Going for dat 64GB unless AP is wrong and it magically has an SD slot.
Good thing no one wants to buy it now, more chance for me to buy it >

What's google's return policy on phones?

I thought I did, but it doesn't even turn on. But you're right, I'm probably going to get a another phone in addition to my Nexus. Hard lesson I had to learn
I thought the Moto X Style was around £400?
Stock Android, USB-C, probably better low light performance for the camera and yeah the fingerprint reader. I think it's a good step up.
Motomaker has it at £399, but these reviews quote £359 http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2015/09/moto-x-style-review-this-phone-does-android-better-than-google/ and http://arstechnica.co.uk/gadgets/20...at-400-the-moto-x-pure-edition-is-a-safe-bet/ whilst Clove have it for order at £350 https://www.clove.co.uk/motorola-moto-x-style
Edit - TechRadar also say Moto said £359 for it, odd that their website is so expensive compared to what they originally quoted and compared to Clove http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/moto-x-style-1300371/review

Google are so lucky the moto didn't have a fingerprint scanner at the price it's at now
if it did the nexus would have been DOA.
Damn looks like I might not be buying anything today at all....new chromecast probably won't be available here right away like last time
please let the prices be wrong...I can afford it but it means beans on toast for 2 days lol

Cool. That way I can atleast try it and see if I like it. Honestly my OPO is still holding strong, but the wifi calling and band 12 on T-Mobile would be very nice.

Exchange rate + $30 "Fuck you, you live in Canada" tax.
The screen, camera, and battery life on the Moto is jank. Moto has this following I do not understand.

People bitched about the screen on the N6 but I never noticed an issue with it while I had it but I never looked into it much it was the first Nexus I never tinkered with much apart from trying Cyanogen and the Dev previews.
Camera I don't care about
Battery in the moto is a little less granted but not by a huge margin
Either way, if I was looking to spend around £350 I would get the 5X or even a Nexus 6.
I think Motorola dropped the ball this year in a big way.

Watch Google sell like 5,000 units of the 6P and 40 units of the 5X. Bet these phones flop harder than the Nexus 6, especially without carrier support.

Why would it be $399 CAD if it's being sold for $379 USD? Gonna be $499 CAD.
Frustrated_me

Ohh is it rumored to be 379$ USD? Ohh well, you're right in that case.
Yea but when it comes to america it's gonna have Verizon written across it about 3x.
Urgh...
Can't you import it from here in the UK? Or are the lte networks not compatible?

I thought the 5X wasn't coming to canada unless something changed?
But yeah it'd be about 479-550 for the base model. Pretty redonk.

Depends what you want to do with it really. Top of my head, my usual essentials are Pocket, Pushbullet, Google Rewards, Unified Remote, Onenote... (and all the Google stuff but thats already pre installed)
For Streaming, Plex.
If you have Amazon Prime, install the Amazon Underground app (from Amazon directly, not available through Play Store), they have a lot of paid apps for free.
