Estimated ETA for Play Store or T-Mobile? - Moto X Q&A

Is there any estimated or leaked dates for when the X will be showing up for T-Mobile or the Play store? Or what the differences in software/price may be?

No one knows for sure yet.
Probably around the same time the carriers start selling it, so probably end of this month, early September.
As for price, again no one knows, one would hope it's around N4 prices.

If the Moto X is about equal to the N4's price, I would order it. If it's more than $500 full retail price, I would wait and buy it from swappa.com

All black and white will be available for Tmo on Aug 23. $199 on contract, but off contract pricing still unknown. Motomaker for Tmo in November.
Play store version sometime before the end of the year. No clear details on timing or pricing, except that it could be around $350-$400 range.

my intention is to order a custom designed at full price. what and see what happens when a GPE/Dev Edition comes out...

I'm somehow hoping the GPE edition is like N4 pricing, I'll gladly get it if it is, otherwise, Nexus 5 it is.

I've only heard April 20th.
I really wonder how much they will charge US off contract. I am currently on contract with them and i will be upgrading as soon as the phone comes out and would like to know just how much i will have to put out upfront.

Im with you on that.. Im hoping that with the OPTIMUS 3D coming out real soon it will help the 2X stay at a reasonable price.. I bought the HD2 off contract for $449.. I wouldnt spend more than that for this phone..
I believe this phone off contract will probably be around $500.
The way i look at it, i will just renew my contract with tmobile and NOT pay the full price and hopefully if AT&T buys them then i can cancel my contract and hopefully NOT pay and penalty
where did u hear apr 6?
If it is April 6th, great. If not, I may wait for the HTC Pyramid or the SGS2.
Ive only heard Apr 20! I want to know where he heard April 6th!! If so that'd be great

My boss was having problems with one if his phones. The CSR offered him an upgrade and said wait until the 6th. She said there are 3 phone going to be released that day and the g2x is one of them. I read there is a nokia to be released that day, maybe the other is the sidekick?
The second source was someone else who also was told by a CSR rep.
I doubt we see this phone on 4/6. If we do then somebody in T Mobile USA marketing dropped the ball.

The Nokia Astound was announced for April 6th. The CSR is confused about the g2x. No way it would come out in a week when there has been no advertising, nor a price.

She did say 3 phones were going to be released on the same day.
Astound, Sidekick and G2X? Would they even release 2 high end phones on the same day?
April 6 would be great..Sidekick and G2x would make a big sales date!
hey guys i heard april 20th from pocketnow.com
Isnt april 6 next week already? And still no major ads and advertisements and price? So i doubt it. But i wish t-mo would release it early.
that CSR is wrong as of right now the G2X is set for April 20th check out Tmonews. On April 20th 3 things are set to come out as of right now. The Sidekick 4G, G2X, and the G-Slate. I am a RSA and T-Mobile would of let the stores known if it was April 6th. We already have the new Nokia phone at my store for April 6th. So that CSR must of been thinking about the 20th when he was telling you what he told u.
I heard the phones were shown off by lg reps in the store, is this true?

I would not bank on that with this device, as it will work on AT&T - no out here.
Other devices, like MT4G will no work on #G/Hspa+ if they drop TMo bands - that would be a contract out.
I heard it'll be from $450-500

Bought mine for $199.00 on an upgrade which I was going to do anyways, but at least it's in my hands and I am loving it so far. Sold my GNEX for 200 an hour after I bought the N4 , so my out of pocket expense was zero dollars, not bad at all.

Not a big deal for me, I hate AT&T and I have to have a GSM phone because I travel overseas for my business and CDMA is not and option for me. I still find T-mobile the best bang for the buck, hands down. I have never had any issues with customer service and the coverage and network speeds are fine for my everyday needs. So far the N4 upgrade was best 200 dollars I have spent, and I sold my GNEX for 200 an hour after I bought the N4 so my out of pocket expense was zero, not bad.

Google/Dish Starting Own Carrier: Nexus on LTE?

http://9to5google.com/2012/11/16/go...-is-a-go-plans-for-2013-launch-being-hatched/
"we just got word that this is really happening. While the details haven’t been finalized, Google is already deep into development on plans to roll out the service and have it live by mid-late 2013.
Google plans to make the service data-only with voice and SMS only being used as VoIP services, likely with Google Voice"
Doesn't Dish own LTE spectrum? Maybe this is Google's plan to get the Nexus line on LTE? Maybe this was part of their plan all along...
Dish's LTE spectrum purchase: http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/15/3gpp-approves-dish-wireless-spectrum-standards/
i would take this with a pinch of salt.
"we just got word" - not exactly journalistic
Wow this shall be interesting... Well that just help me make my mind up about not signing another two year contract with t mobile when my current one expires in February. I will wait to see what Google and dish have to offer

This changes things a bit regarding the Nexus 4. If Google/Dish will truly roll out service with LTE, and then offer a Nexus 4 (2013) with LTE... maybe it's worth hanging onto my Galaxy Nexus for another year. =O

Like this? Nothing conclusive, just that talks were/are going on, that may or may not lead to anything. The usual rumors, but being in the WSJ adds a bit of legitimacy to it.

"AT&T announced that pre-orders begin tomorrow for the Samsung Galaxy S® 5 in the U.S. at att.com or at AT&T stores. Shipping for pre-orders will begin in early April.
The Galaxy S 5 is available at $25 per month with AT&T Next 18, $32.50 per month with AT&T Next 12 or $199.99 with a two-year agreement. Full retail price for the device with no commitment is $649.99."

Pre-ordered!
Just ordered an AT&T S5 for my wife. I'm on Verizon through work and had them order me a Note 3 that I'll have on Monday. New phones for everyone! LOL
I actually just cancelled the pre-order. I'm going to need the 32gb model.
Question for those preordering, can you let me know how much more stable the new TW software will be? It's good on the Note 3, but that's because I have 3 GB of RAM!
Anyone know if there's a way to preorder for use on prepaid? I'm on T-mobile, but switching to AT&T for better coverage. From looking at their new plans, it actually cost more ($65+tax and fees) for a monthly plan vs prepaid at $60+tax only. Same 2GB of LTE.

I would imagine if your intention is to pay full retail for it, they will sell it to you on preorder just the same as someone on contract getting it subsidized.

Unfortunately, when I go though the process and choose the pay in full option it still forces me to pick a plan to checkout. I guess I'l have to stop by a store next week and see if they can do it for me. Just a pain in the butt.

Paying retail price

I tried to get the 649 retail at best buy but got denied because the Corporate store doesn't allow you to buy full price on Launch Days?
I had to pay the 750 best buy price. Can anyone else confirm this?

I did mine on the next plan... all it is is a monthly payment plan to pay the full retail price of the phone, $650... so it's $32.50/month for the plan that lets you upgrade every year ($32.50/month x 18 months = $650). when you want to upgrade in a year (or 18 months and the phone would be paid in full), you either trade the phone in for the next one or just pay off the remaining balance ($260) and then sell the old one online and get the new phone on the NEXT plan
I don't know much as the next program. I don't like it from what I've read

What is your bill if you don't mind me asking. Mine is $79 plus the 32 would be like $113-114. I think I might wait till it gets a little older and the next price would be a little cheaper than I'll get one.

well, I haven't received a bill yet that has the NEXT upgrade on it... so, my bill is $125 now, will be ~$158.00 with my SGS 5 on it.
$100 -> 10GB data bucket (shared between my wife and I)
$15 -> wife's line cost (for service)
$15 -> my line cost (for service)
$32.50 -> SGS 5
23% off national account discount
taxes
=$158 ish with the NEXT plan added
if you have a 10GB or higher mobile share plan, your lines are just $15/each if you are 1) financing a phone through NEXT; OR 2)pay for the phone upfront

If you're on the newer Mobile Share plans (especially 10GB+) it will save you money over a new two year contract. You do see a little bit of a higher monthly bill, but you save quite a bit over time. Make sure to get AT&T Insurance or Squaretrade, though. And the 20 month Next is better than the 26 month Next.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
If your going to spend $600+ you better invest that into a international version that supports AT&T LTE bands. You won't benefit anything from the AT&T version far as root, roms, etc since our bootloader is "locked"
Also AT&T Next is great if your into staying up to date with the latest devices like most of us here. Like the users said above but with more detail you can choose to lease/finance the device for either 12 months or 18 months. You pay $0 deposit down and depending on the terms of the lease/finance you can either pay $22 or $32 a month.
Your plan and everything decides on how much data you need. i have the 20GB plan with 6 lines. my bill is around $200-$250 a month. 3 of those lines are on the Next program
That's new to me. Wasn't sure the international version could support ATT

meh.. same difference for me.. I'll likely pay it in full in a few months anyways when the iPhone 6 comes out and get that too... in the end, I pay full price for the phone regardless.
The "Next" plan is a ripoff unless you're the type who is scared to sell a phone on Craigslist. An absolute ripoff.

exactly what i have, i coupled my $25 phone payment plan (18 month instead of your 12 month) with the new 2GB data value plan
What if you get it on contract. Its $199 down payment and $320 as ETF.
Total $520.
Is there any catch? You can cancel the contract after 1 month, pay the ETF and keep the phone??

Yup, that's the same thing I did. My contract would have ended this September, but my previous phone (iPhone 5) was one drop away from being completely broken. Because of that, I said screw it, bit the bullet and did the early upgrade to the 18 month Next plan with the 2GB mobile share plan. I would have much rather the traditional 2-year contract plan, but oh well...no way my phone would have survived another 6 or so months.

Yeah, the phone is yours if you choose to go down that path. Personally, I try my best to avoid the ETF, simply out of principle.

This is SO SO SO true! Basically with next you are still paying around $650 in 2 years for a new phone BUT you don't get to keep it.

You can keep the phone on the Next plan. You don't have to trade it in if you don't want to. The phone is still yours no matter what...you just have to pay it off either way.
If i was gonna pay full retail I'd have gotten the Tmo S5 which apparently has an Unlocked BL, it is compatible with ATT LTE. Which is why I asked why the OP paid so much for the ATT version which is locked down as tight as fort knox...Still hoping a root exploit is found for ATT at the very least, if not not a big deal to me as its going to my GF who has no use for custom rom/kernels.
