OK, how does it work on Verizon if I am one year into a two year contract and I need to get a new handset? Do I have to pay full price or is it prorated?

 

NO ONE will believe anything you say anymore!

Full price, or they would ask you to tack on another 2 years to existing contract, or pay remainder of current contract, or get an EDGE program, or sign up for another crazy lock-in contract, or just buy another full price phone and carry on with current contract. Alternatively, you can just trade in current phone to T-Mobile and have them pay your ETF and then have T-Mobile as your new service and phone.

 

Nexus program is dead

Something better might be coming though

 

No it is not. Stop it. Everyone is being stupid about this just because one guy decided to join 2 rumors together and spread it around.

Just like the G+ hating techcrunch that started the G+ is dead rumor and now people are running like idiots with it.

 

Maybe they're just changing their approach?

I've seen stuff pop up about "Android Silver", even on The Verge.

 

May 27.

 

i dont think it will change anything for end consumers, the move from nexus to silver.
it'll still be LG and Motorola designing the flagship devices.

 

INCOMING INVITES!!!

 

Hmm, Ill be around.

 

Xperia Z Ultra $450 unlocked free shipping. Makes my Note 2 look like an iPhone.

Perhaps the price of the X will drop soon after this?

 

Did they take that photo using the X, G, or Y?

 

Amaphone render:

It will not. However, it is nicely discounted for today only.

Y?

 

Is there any downside to the Verizon Edge plans?

I currently have 900min, 500sms and 2GB for $99/month plus tax/fees.

Edge would be unlimited talk/text and w/2GB data for $90/month +.

Rep just said I could do a "no cost handset upgrade" to the MotoX if I switched to edge plan...

VERY tempted to get the motoX today from moto directlty...

I Read those too. The only thing is, I usually do want a new handset every year based ONLY on performance. My phones seem to really slow down after a year.

 

I believe when the rep said no cost handset upgrade, he meant you pay nothing up front but you end up paying full price for the device throughout your new contract in addition to paying $90/month.

If you want a Moto X today, just grab it straight from the Moto X website sale today. Can even get a Developer Edition model that will work on Verizon.
They throw in a free skip too.

 

Yeah, you are probably right. I thought they were giving me the handset for free because she said $90 total, but that dies not make sense. OK, getting one from motorola...

 

OK, ordered. Should be here next friday.

16GB black woven/black with silver accent.

 

For $25 more, you could've gotten the 32gb version!!!

 

The next phone, priced for all.

 

Um.........wat? Where did you even get that name from?

 

no need... I have 8GB on current phone and dont have that much data on it

I don;t store music movies or games on my phone.

 

Apps are getting bigger and pictures, and videos are bigger in size than your old phone.

 

Good point speedmon.

I just checked on my phone and I have 8GB internal and an 8GBcard. The internal is 50% used and the storage card is completely empty.

 

Looked at mine. I have 5.7B of App/App data, 843mb of pics and vidoes. Had the phone since December.

I'm sure you'll be fine though. You also get 50GB of google drive storage for two years, so you can have your photos backed up to google+ at full resolution easily. Just in case you need more space you can get rid of pics on your phone and still have them.

Its a good phone though!

Also I dont think the london event will have the next moto x+1 in it. Maybe some clues. They're supposed to be introducing another low cost phone. I think Moto E is the rumored name. Dunno the credibility of this though.

 

Hmm. Don't remember if we talked about Pressy (kickstarter campaign product that adds a physical button to your headphone jack) on this thread, but I think Dimple is going to be much better. Requires NFC.

http://dimple.io/

I think I'm going to buy one to try out - I'm probably the only person on Azine that wants to add more physical buttons to my phone and tablet.

Sorry M8 users, apparently the metal body of the M8 interferes with NFC...

 

Yea I dont really want extra buttons haha. Cool concept though.

 

That's interesting. I have a pressy on preorder.

Probably because of my large phone fetish, I can't stand the on-screen shutter button. Having one on the side is much more ergonomic, and would make one handed shots infinitely easier.

Also double click for flashlight is total win.

NFC sticker is a neat idea, but pressy is more 'portable' if you switch phones/cases a lot. Also I'm not sure if you can assign double-click/hold/etc functions to each nfc button. I assume not.

 

Moto X arrived last night.

Finally got it set up like I wanted.

Skip is "ok"...

You have hold it over the skip for a full second. By "over" I mean basically in direct contact with the correct part of the phone.

I seem to be getting better at getting it to wake and unlock quickly though, so maybe it's user error.

Not as practical as I had hoped, but there is the "keep unlocked" feature when connected to a known BT device which is nice.

 

Where's that???

I have mine to lock after 10 minutes of screen off time so I dont need to keep entering the pw.

My maps hasnt updated yet, but its still updated in the voice. It now says "Use the right two lanes to take the 5 South" Its awesome!

 

Security>Trusted Devices

 

Mines disabled

 

WTF?!

Didn't you both buy from the Moto site? Should be the same...

 

Its cause of my work email

 

corporate email systems disable the NFC, security bypass features, etc. been reading about that.

 

At least you get to use the phone for work and not be supplied some old pos blackberry :/

 

So I just noticed all my contacts are gone!! There was a back up or cloud thing in my notification thing this morn but I just deleted it without reading what it said. Like I do with most notifications. fml

 

No bueno boner...
