Sadly, I predicted that when Lenovo first came up.

Wow I didn't known they sold them. That was sure quick! Dropped them like a hot potato in what a year?
I think the Texas plant was doomed for three reasons, the AT&T exclusivity on Motomaker, no back engraving to start, and no wood backs until later. The plant was brought online for Moto Maker and they doomed that from the start.

It was a modular production line, also able to accommodate new models quickly.
I'd been there often over the years, watched it grow, shrink, all but die and get improved.
It's a loss for us.

Isn't Motorola based in Chicago? For manufacturing aBd r&d
It will probably be Xiamen, Fujian province from now on. That's where Lenovo does most of their phone R&D and manufacturing. Laptops come from Beijing.

I personally thought that the moto x would be a big game changer and would be something like the iPhone (when I mean something like iPhone i mean we're moto works only on one type of phone, the moto x and keeps upgrading it) but I personally wanted to get it mostly caz the google always on this (I'm sorta a Siri/google voice thingy nut! But sadly I didn't get it... Still working on gettin my first phone!

Maybe the new moto x will be your phone.
Redoing the subject title:
Every maker but Samsung & iPhone glory days are over!
Well Microsoft still has a chance and the new htc looks sexy!! And that cover of it is probably a buying point!
Anyone who cares about the market wants multiple vendors to succeed. We all know what happens when one manufacturer owns a market: for example, when MS bundled their way to a near monopoly in web browsers the result was IE6 
! The thought of what Samsung software would be like without effective competition is too horrible to contemplate

If Boost Mobile had that Nokia lumiai probably would not have this moto g right now. I really liked my experience with Windows phone.
