if there is a 32GB version i'm willing to pay $400 for it, otherwise i'll be waiting to see what G2 , N5 and Honami going to offer.

Well the article states that the 32 gig version is $349 so you're in luck.

True. But if they plan to sell it on Play Store, then you might see Nexus 5 before Moto X actually ships to your house.

Yeah, here in Philippines Nexus 4 cost 555usd i thought it will be just like 200-300usd >.

What if I told you that you can't get it here in tunisia?

Yeah, you can. But these units are gray market devices. No warranty from manufacturer.

I don't think Motorola will subsidized this phone on play store, they need to make profits from this phone.

For a dual-core S4 pro and with 4,7" screen phone, $299 is a good price.

The problem for some countries will be the taxes.
Here in Brazil it will be a miracle if this phone arrives for less than $500 (16GB version).

The nexus 4 costs nearly a grand there for the 16gb version doesn't it?

This is Motorola, it's not a Google subsidized phone, so the price is the standard retail price. The Google Devices store is not involved either. It's up to Motorola to distribute the phone, and the countries where it will be available might differ from those where the Devices store is open.

Google doesn't subsidize their nexus devices at all, i tell you what, smartphones only cost $200 or so to be made, it's just oems that make them expensive due to excessive mark-up, Google however doesn't do this thus they are cheap

those specs can get you through any task you throw at it , unless you are only buying the phone to compete in Antutu benchmarks world championship.

Antutu world championship! :-D

14. jdoee100 (Posts: 334; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)

The specs are similar to S3, and S3 costs about ~$500 without a contract. So this is a really good price. If everything is good as advertised, this is going to be a big seller. Of course, if S3 price is lowered to 300, then I'd get the S3.

20. alila2 (Posts: 158; Member since: 01 Nov 2011)

exactly, plus for the benchmark freaks : the S3 score 12,000 on average the Moto X is in the 17,000.

I'm really trying to understand how you feel with the processor additional senors 4.7 720p screen coming in at $299 is a rip. That's incredible. Next thing is carriers need to adjust there monthly prices plans since you own your phone from the start. This might change this flagship race because this phone will give you everything you need.

49. mrmessma (Posts: 232; Member since: 28 Mar 2012)

I wish Verizon would make a non subsidized monthly plan for those of us that own our own phone outright, that know better than to care about benchmarks and having the latest phone, that know what real world performance is, but they're beholden to their investors and ever increasing profit numbers.
