Wow I didnt know theres only been 2 devices with nano sim thought theres been more but Moto X is rumored to be the 3rd ever
Wonder how much difference that sliver of plastic at the bottom of the micro really makes

The moto x is going to be a massive flop. 200 dollars on contract for the 16gb model. taht sounds fine, for a phone released last year, but in an age of quadcores and 1080p screens.. how do they expect its dual core 720p samoled to stack up?

plus the bonus kicker, rumor has it only att customers will be be able to design their own device, everyone else has to pick from a pre assembled lineup.

the big phone everyone has been holding out to see what its like, and i cant find a single thing that is good about it. heck at this point id suggest getting an lg phone first, and we know how i feel about those.

Well I'm actually looking towards what the G2 brings
That and the S4 are really the only phones I'm considering

i enjoy custom roms too much to use a device with a locked bootloader :(.

i just cant help but giggle at the people who have been chanting the motox is going to be amazing, and have been holding out all year long waiting for it.

Oh ok seems their flagships always get unlocked though and lmao I know I said I would consider the Moto X but once I heard about the S4 based processor, 720p with a smaller screen than my S3 I just lost all interest

I think you had a typo. You mean $40 is the 500mb and $50 is 2.5gb. The $60 is no throttling which is true unlimited.

on metropcs, on tmobile they charge 10 dollars more per month

Yea. If that's what he was trying to say then I apologize :)
Yes, Shabby mentioned tmo, I actually have my personal line with tmo, metro is my wifes.

I started with the $30 100 min 5gb full speed data, with tmo but that 100 mins was just difficult to keep under. My dad calls me for things all the time.
I switched up to the $60 plan for the extra 2gb of data.
I actually passed that 2.5 gbs this last month and let me tell you edge throttled was annoying as heck. I was ready to throw the phone.:mad:

Its not that I didn't read it I just didn't care for it. It's still a phone I want for some reason.

Same here IF it's priced under $350 at the Play Store. My pocket has been spoiled the last 11 months with the small LG Motion and I love that the X a lot smaller than the HTC One with the same screen size. And yeah I know on screen buttons yada yada... The display will be a big upgrade to what I have now and Dual Core is more than fine for my smartphone tasks, I have computers and tablets for more demanding stuff and if the 24 hour battery life is true I'll be more than happy. I'd take true all day battery life over quad-core every day. If it's priced in the $500 range I guess I'll wait and see what the Nexus 5 is all about.

sorry to bump my previous question gman today I was in south Florida by Clewiston to be exact, with metro I always got 4g out there on my gs4 I was only getting Hspa/edge speeds I'm assuming that those towers out there are not updated yet or that's more towards 2014?

That would probably be more towards 2014 since it isnt really a highly populated area which is what they're aiming for 1st
