We should know the price by know. I've been wondering if they're thinking of lower than the normal price?

Wow, pretty awful that VZW is going to market Command Center nd Zap as selling points.

Is the Moto X the only moto phone that gives you 50 gb free google drive space for 2 years? If so, its very typical of VZW to not put that on their comparison.

Wireless charging would have been nice on the X though.
 
What the hell is Zap and Command Center. Time to look that up.

Well, I've narrowed my phone choices to either the X, Maxx, or Galaxy Note 3 ... 3 vastly different phones. The X's marketing hype is working on me with custom colors & 32GB that I'm willing to wait for on big red, but realistically, it'll either be the Max (with it's battery life, bigger screen, wireless charging) or the GN3 (even bigger, probably does all the things that the GS4 can do, assumed better camera since Motorola needs to figure out their software with their's).

Point proven: sometimes the most heavily marketed phone in the store isn't necessarily the BEST phone in the store ;)

yea that chart is such B.S. Doesn't even mention battery life and storage limits. That's pretty much the only real life experience the user will actually notice. Maybe the unibody design too, i've read in the X reviews it has big seams between the back and the front plastics. But the other things they are trying to differentiate on (ingress, zap, command center) are just pure marketing gimmicks!

I wish the x had command center, according to droid life they said it was the moto circle widget from the past or at least a part of it. That widget functioned very well and so awesome.

haha yea i saw that graphic the other day at work it made me lol... i mean its accurate but missing some pro's for the X so obviously biased... ill be selling the maxx for the battery life but the moto X over the Ultra and then the mini for the cheaper / smaller phone.

the X beats the ultra in almost every scenario in my book and will be the same price so that will be my push as a salesman when it comes to the two of those phones

I'm interested in both the Ultra and the X. From your point of view, in what areas does the X beat the Ultra?(other than customization. I'm on Verizon so that won't be available when I buy my next phone)
 
New here so I really apologize if I missed this being discussed already. I'm stuck on Verizon with my upgrade being available tomorrow. Has there been any news on whether Verizon will get the 32GB version of the Moto X? I've heard yes and no. I'm jumping the iPhone ship so its either the 32GB Moto X or waiting a bit longer for HTC One. Thanks!
 
Welcome to the forums! :)

My understanding is that the 32 GB versions will come from the Motorola customized order site, initially available for ATT, other carriers later (unknown date).

Others here will chime in if I'm wrong, the info on that has been confusing.
 
Hi Bholt - welcome to Android and welcome to Android Forums!

To the best of my knowledge there WILL be a 32GB Verizon X, but it will only be available on MotoMaker, which means sometime around the November time frame (no actual date given).

It's great to have you here :)
 
There's quite a few features I like about this phone so I guess I'll just have to check it out once Verizon has it in stores. I have a 16gb iPhone right now and have had any space issues so I think I'd be ok, but I'd definitely prefer a 32gb. Not sure I can hold out until November! Doesn't sound like I would be disappointed with either the Moto X or HTC One, though. Thanks for the help!
