More comments from Scoble:

It actually makes me feel sorry for Microsoft and Blackberry. I can't see a good reason why anyone would bet on those ecosystems after tonight. 

I was personally involved in Vista and, sorry, that didn't bring anything really ground breaking to the table. This product coming tonight will.

I was Apple's #1 fan (quite literally, I was first in line in the Palo Alto Store, which is where Steve Jobs visited, for both the original iPhone and original iPad). I'm no longer an Apple fanboy and the MotoX is yet another reason why. More tonight.

Ahhhh give it to meeeeee

 

[Symphonic]

Chances of this being free (or 20 bucks) on contract?

 

[eznark]

Is this low rent phone the reason Verizon has refused to give a date for the HTC One?

 

[Kinitari]

I hope you find your peace, brave hero

 

[kehs]

I'm a T-Mobile conspiracy theorist, but John Legere just tweeted he's in NYC today. On the same day as the Moto X announcement? Coincidence?

John Leger is the TMO ceo. hype

Rumors said there would not be much of a subsidy from the carriers, but we won't know until 3pm.

Who is this guy and why am I getting hyped

I'll get hyped when I see the phone in action. While I have no interest in purchasing this device, my mom's Galaxy S2 Skyrocket is on life support and she is in desperate need of an upgrade.

Before buying a new phone, I always recommend trying to 'fix' the old one. Before you replace it you could try a reset to factory state or you could try flashing a new different ROM. Make sure its software is up-to-date (GS2 should run Android 4.something and not the 2.3 it came with).

Unless it has physical damage, like a shattered screen, a GS2 should still be perfectly usable. A 1.2 GHz dual-core CPU with 1 GB of RAM is still quite decent.

Please don't. Scoble is easily excited.

Oh, I've done everything for her. I've reset the device to factory, I've bought a new battery (which did help with battery life), updated the software, but it is she who wants a new phone. And I don't blame her. When she stares at my HTC One X, she sees what she is missing (my gorgeous 720p screen) and she wants that. She doesn't want to necessarily pay for a high end device, but something within reason. I think the Moto X may be within reason.

So we are finally going to see this thing in about an hour and 20 minutes?

[xtop]

3pm est, correct. that's an hour and 15 minutes away

 

[Symphonic]

But the internet says it's 12:44 EST

 

[Vyse The Legend]

But the internet says it's 12:44 EST

So, you've been living an hour behind with the wrong time on your computer?

 

[smokeandmirrors]

But the internet says it's 12:44 EST

Not adjusted for daylight savings time. So add an hour. it's 1:48 pm here.

 

[Lothars]

But the internet says it's 12:44 EST

Which is incorrect, it's 1:48 EST.

 

[bananas]

But the internet says it's 12:44 EST

You are incorrect.

 

[kehs]

Isn't it EDT right now?

Posted this in other thread, but posting it here too:

Wait, looking at the Verge's website, are we sure that the Verge event going on @ 3:00 ET is really going to announce and show off the Moto X? Or is it gonna be just gonna be a collection of rumors and them discussing it and their impressions?

Because doesn't the actual Motorola event happen at 8:00 PM ET??

 

[Symphonic]

I'm so confused

I trust you guys totally. One hour.

i thought it was being shown to the press all day now and at 3 the embargo is lifted and moto will officially announce

My response from the other thread, also.

3:00PM is just when the embargo lifts. By then, the Verge will be able to talk about the press event, which happened already this morning, and show off the device if Motorola gave them one.

8:00PM is the launch party in NYC, which yours truly is attending and hoping to snag a phone or hands-on time.

ONE MORE HOURRRRR

[The Bookerman]

Not in Canada! Thanks Google!

Because it's coming exclusively to Rogers?

 

[Polari]

A commenter on The Verge says:

There’s multiple time slots for various groups of media. So, all news is embargoed until Google says otherwise.

So maybe not 3PM?
