A cuad core costs less than that

Normal Price for XT890

Hello guys, I'm curious about the normal price of this phone in your country. I've discovered varying price range among certain countries from eBay and Amazon, and since the phone has not officially been released in my country, I cannot know what is the normal price for it. Perhaps you may share the price quotes in your country in this thread?

I bought my mobile in last year's christmas. It was R$899 brazilian Real, U$440, €340. Now you can find it by R$ 999 reais.
So the lowest is still $440. Hmm. I begin to question those sold for under $300 on ebay. The seller even offered manufacturer warranty for 1 year. Any1 has experience buying from them?

in germany amazon sells it for 297 euro. that's about 380 usd. (by the way, amazon ships all over europe for free. the prices in the different amazon stores sometimes vary a lot! so it's worth to check)
I'm from Indonesia, so Amazon is pretty much out of my zone. My only option is ebay for international purchase. Well, I guess the idea of buying the phone is behind me now as I've learnt that the phone is still incompatible with certain apps that I play and use. Thanks for the info guys

The official price in Mexico with Telcel is $8,000 MXN (around 630 USD), but there's been a promo since the launch offering the phone for $6,000 MXN (around 475 USD). In the beginning the guys from the stores said it will only last the current month, but now it's the normal price.

[Q] Possible to buy UK Moto X in the US?

The US motorola site lets you purchase a Moto G (Global GSM) model at the same price of 199$ for the 16GB one.
I was wondering if its possible to buy a Moto X (XT1052) UK edition (with LTE 1800mhz) from the US at around the same price (329$).
The Moto X if bought in UK converts to around 550$ which is prohibitively high and you don't get the customization options as well.
I wouldn't say so, whoever Motorola's distributor is in the UK wouldn't be over joyed by that.
Are you in Europe or USA?

Yup, ebay. but for that price probably only used ones. Hope that helps!
Also, you could see which US versions match your bands since they're on sale for cheap for another week.

Am in Asia actually and am trying to have a friend in the USA buy it from Motomaker. And the LTE band used here is band 3 (1800), which the UK Moto X (XT1052) has.
The used UK models on ebay are double the price of a brand new US moto x. Guess I'll have to skip LTE.
I am in Ireland and to get a 32gb Dev Edition, I had to buy from the USA. I won't need LTE for probably 2 years.
Mine including shipping cost me €320
There are people in Ireland and on Ebay looking for €600 for them!!

Dual Sim Version?

Seems I'm the first one to open a Thread for the Moto G 2014. *proud*
Did anyone find a source to get a dual-sim version of the Moto G(2) 2014? Preferably on the European mainland.
I'm thankful for every information I can get!
Cheers,
M

Motorola gave out the dual-SIM version to journalists, including myself, yesterday. Is this not the one being sold on Amazon?
Actually, I find it hard to see anything on Amazon. Not helped by Motorola thinking it could call the new Moto G the Moto G (2nd generation) or Moto G 2014 as people are also calling it.
It makes it quite hard to identify which is which on the website, and no doubt elsewhere.

I don't know what is sold on Amazon? With Amazon I would give it a blind order try but I can't find it on .co.uk nor on .de. Did you find it?
Not yet. Lots of the original 3G model at some rather inflated prices though.
Any chance you can upload 2 or 3 pictures taken with it?

I don't know about the European mainland but you can get it in India from Flipkart.com; sales are starting from tonight at sharp 1200hrs.
Yes, the European version is with dual sim, at least believing on Expansys and Handteck, that already are selling the phone... can't find it on amazon thought..
The only downside there it seems to exist is that there are only a 8GB version
Sorry to tag on this thread, does the 2014 moto G have a multi colour LED notification?
Lots of misleading info out there...anyone know whether the US has a dual SIM version and the bands for the dual SIM versions? The Motorola website as it is now is pretty useless.

Before I ordered mine on friday I asked Motorola Germany via facebook if it has dual sim as i couldn't find any infos on motorola Hompage or the german onlineshop (notebooksbilliger.de - they sold on friday with 32GB microSD for € 199,-). On facebook they told me it has dual sim.

Where did you buy it from rafael ?
I'm planning on getting mine but I'm not sure which seller would ship it quicker. (I was between Walmart and Submarino - These are Brazil only retailers if someone is wondering).
It may be a great phone from what I've been researching.

[Q] Droid Turbo works outside of the US?

Hi, if i buy a Droid Turbo from Verizon at full cost, will I be able to use it in Central America with a 850 HSDPA band and get good speeds on 3G (1 to 2 mbps)? Or does it just use Edge outside of Verizon?

The turbo covers hsdpa 850 so it should work fine on 3g. You'd just need to add the correct apn

Because I don't know when the Mexican version (Moto Maxx) is coming out and probably the price is going to be around $800, that's the price in Brazil while the Verizon version is going to be rough $650

Brazil and Mexico are really different countries, so also the prices are. The Moto Maxx start to sell on Nov 13, and it will cost the same as the Verizon version. The only version that Motorola would be selling here is the Ballistic Nylon version with 64GB. All the information was from the yesterday's announcement, so I guess it's a better option.
:good:

I know for sure that people would be selling them in eBay or a page called "Mercado Libre", that is kind of the mexican eBay. In Mercado Libre they already sell all the newest phones at very reasonable prices; you can always ask to some vendor if he is willing to make international shipping, because some vendors do it and some don't.

Actually in Costa Rica we also have Mercadolibre, but here the phones are about $300 to $400 more, with eBay the problem is that the prices of new phones are almost $200 more because its hard to get, I'll definitely look in the mexican mercadolibre but I need around the same cost as the phone, you think that Motorola Mexico would do international shipping?

The page in Motorola Mexico doesn't allow to do international shipping, because the address it get is from the CP you enter in the form, I tried with couple of CP from USA and the form was showing cities from Mexico, so I guess the buy is not possible directly from Motorola page.

Where are you located? In Mexico, or elsewhere? You have to ship to Mexican address, and use Mexican credit card. (If you are in Mexico, then I don't know why it won't let you change to your Mexican state.)
In one of your posts you say you are Spanish, so are you in Spain now?
If outside Mexico (especially in the USA), best choice is to buy the Puerto Rico Moto Maxx off eBay/Swappa. Best because Brazil Moto Maxx is still much more expensive on eBay. And Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, so you can easily use U.S. Priority Mail.

Yes, back in January Motorola Mexico closed the loophole that let us buy Mexican Moto Maxx using non-Mexican credit cards. I got mine before that happened, AND I bought it during the Christmas sale.
Your English is good enough.
