ALurker · Sep 1, 2014

Looks like the 32GB will be an option in MotoMaker.

The new Moto X lands in Verizon's system, launching with Moto Maker

Does anyone know what time tomorrow we should expect to hear some news?

Personally not av clue they tend to so it pretty early

Outatime · Sep 4, 2014

Someone posted on Twitter that it was 11:00 CDT. I cannot confirm that.

DirtyDee · Sep 4, 2014

Has it happened yet?

jcmtyler · Sep 4, 2014

Motorola Mobility's twitter feed seems to have some information coming out: http://twitter.com/Motorola. Mentioned that the event in Chicago will have no live feed, but details will be released starting at 1:30pm CT Friday (September 5th). You can post questions for the Q&A session Friday using the hashtag #askmoto.

it's crazy to me that none of the tech sites have ever reported what time this thing is happening today.

I guess for those of us in the USA its technically not even happening until tomorrow.

jackdubl · Sep 4, 2014

Is there any event? The Internet is deadly silent about it.

why would that be the case. I thought the invite said September 4th in Chicago.

Good point, I was getting it mixed up with all the stuff in Berlin... but the Motorola twitter feed DOES say 1am CT Sept 5th, so color me confused.

Everything I've seen said it was the 4th and was based on this:

Now we can "find out more" tomorrow after hearing nothing today? I guess maybe today's event is not an announcement but just a gathering where someone can go and play with the new Motorola products.

I'm getting the feeling that Motorola is going to royally screw up this release.

jcmtyler · Sep 4, 2014

I wonder if the Chicago event today is for media but they're told not to leak anything until tomorrow, and 1am CT tomorrow is some official release, maybe from China? Not sure why you would have an event at 1am in Chicago.

In the meantime, here's a point of speculation: how much similarity will there be between the X+1 and the smaller Nexus X? From the rumored specs perhaps the screen size is the only thing they'll have in common, with the Nexus a step up in just about every category.

ckeegan · Sep 4, 2014

Never mind , just found info on Moro's twitter that said there will be a private press event with no live stream today, and then a public event of some kind at like 2am or some crap.

Way to plan Moto! Idiots.

ALurker · Sep 4, 2014

If they already have a Q&A set up for tomorrow afternoon, is it safe to assume that their unveiling is not going to give us a lot of information?

jcmtyler · Sep 4, 2014

This site says actual, public launch will be in New Delhi tomorrow, which explains the 1am CT spot: http://m.tech.firstpost.com/news-an...moto-x-launch-with-cryptic-tweets-232347.html

jcmtyler · Sep 4, 2014

Confirmation of the "real" event time, and more importantly, a link to the live stream: http://9to5google.com/2014/09/04/wa...oducts-live-at-130-pm-ct-september-5th-video/

Here's an early article, note the device is officially the new Moto X, not the X+1: http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/5/6108473/the-new-moto-x-could-be-the-best-android-phone-ever-made

rushmore · Sep 5, 2014

Wow, this forum is even less traffic than the Note 4's. Not a good sign for sales.

heyeaglefn · Sep 5, 2014

Battery looks like a deal breaker.

ALurker · Sep 5, 2014

Another bad sign for sales: small battery and no SD card. I really wanted to get this phone.

jcmtyler · Sep 5, 2014

How much longer do we have to wait for the Nexus X launch? I've heard October, but I've also heard that devices have already shipped to India.

jcmtyler · Sep 5, 2014

Just got confirmation from Motorola that there will be NO micro SD card. Also confirmed SoC is Qualcomm 801, not 800 like some of the early reports.

That's the phone I'm waiting for. I'm so tempted to get the new X....it looks fantastic. But I want a bigger screen.

Yet they put an sd slot on the cheaper device G. That irony alone makes the X pass worthy alone.
