Global and U.S. versions selling for $179-199 SIM-free
A little earlier than expected, Motorola's entry-level Moto G is now available to purchase directly from the manufacturer's U.S.-based website. The 4.5-inch Android 4.3 handset is available for $179 (8GB) or $199 (16GB) SIM-free, with U.S. and global-optimized versions of both available. (Moto's site says both devices can roam globally, but the U.S. version is optimized for American networks, and vice-versa for the global model.) In the U.S. you'll be able to use the Moto G on T-Mobile or AT&T HSPA+, but there's no CDMA or 4G LTE support.
The Moto G is one of the most impressive budget handsets to pass across our desks this year. It sports a Moto X-like polycarbonate exterior, a 720p LCD display and a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 CPU. On the software side it's near-stock Android 4.3 Jelly Bean running the show, with a few Moto software tweaks.
Here's a snippet from our recent review of the Moto G:
"Depending on your perspective, the Moto G can be seen as a ridiculously cheap phone considering its quality, or a ridiculously good phone for its price. Either way, it’s a lesson to other manufacturers in how to make a good, cheap Android phone. The screen is the best you’ll find on a budget handset, the CPU, while by no means high-end, strikes a great balance of performance and energy efficiency, allowing the built-in battery to drive the device through a fully day of use with ease."
Moto G orders placed today on Motorola.com should start shipping from Dec. 2.

Just chat with their support, no international shipping, yet. too bad I was ready to burn some cash LOL

Cannot pre-order a case.. That means you will need to make another order and pay for the shipping..

So it looks like the version with AWS 3G has *no* Europe/Asia 3G bands at all. Both support AT&T 3G.
I really hope this means the Moto G will become more readily available in the countries Motorola initially stated they would release the phone, as availability is rather poor here in Western Europe (only the 8GB model is available in only Germany and the UK).
I'm very glad for Americans interested in this phone, but I'm a bit annoyed by how Motorola is handling (or not handling, really) the release of the Moto G.

How do you know (or just guessing?) it'll be friday/monday? My status on amazon.de is " Versand wird vorbereitet" since 25/11/2013 morning and "Voraussichtliches Lieferdatum: Derzeit liegt uns noch kein Datum vor. Wir benachrichtigen Sie per E-Mail, sobald uns das voraussichtliche Lieferdatum bekannt ist" - which means shipment is being processed but the date of shipment is still not known.
I bought it via amazon.es, but the moto g with the tag [importacion]. In the same page of amazon.es my transactions tells me the date. Unfortunately I don't know about amazon.de . If amazon in your country had the [impotation] tag you could give it a try!

Thanks for the tip tyrexs! I've pre-ordered the 16GB model a few days back from Amazon.co.uk, but sadly Amazon says it won't be available until December 12th. Amazon.fr gives availability as December 6th, and Amazon.de hasn't any availability indicator at all.

Service is quite good in socal. I left verizon for t mobile two months ago and it is possibly better than verizon in socal. When I was living in nor cal verizon was clearly better but in socal t mobile has very good coverage
The US variant doesn't ship until Dec 9th.

No go... I can confirm that I tried but the order was canceled not even 5 minutes after placing it. My debit card was issued abroad but has a us billing address and I have a forwarding address in the US. Crossing my fingers Amazon gets them soon or the price on ebay goes down. :crying:

Would Atrix be released in Europe?
Yes, it's coming to Orange in the UK.
4G? or 3g? i am from Greece and if it comes with 3g to europe i will buy it for sure!!!!
The Atrix will do 3G in Europe. The 4G on the Atrix is HSPA+ which will probably be USA-only. It does not support LTE.
well it is coming to europe, here in France the first operator to get it will be Orange(date release march).
I doubt it will be a 4g since france will start constructing it LTE network this year, but it will be HSPDA (dunno if it is + since it is still tested by operators such as SFR) but for sure it will be 3G+ or 3.5G
Lol, there's already a site that offers the "Motorola ATRIX European Version" for pre-order. According to them, the retailprice will be $499.99 and they sell it for $399.99. Here's a link to the site: http://www.cellhut.com/Motorola-ATRIX-Unlocked-Quadband-European-Version-GSM-Cell-Phone-30366.html It doesn't look very trustworthy though

The device will be the same in the US vs Europe. The "4G" title is really just 3.5G speed. Since it supports speeds of up to 14.4Mbps, similar to the LTE speeds Verizon will have initially, the device is being marketed as 4G.
The data speeds on this thing will be limited only by the network, so if your carrier supports HSPA+ of 14.4Mbps or better this phone will be fast. Don't get confused by "4G" marketing techniques used in the US.

The HSPA+ 14.4 Mbps is not USA-only. It will work on any provider that supports it (like all providers in Canada)
Of course it must also be on the frequency bands of the Atrix (850/1900/2100 MHz). I don't know if the Euro version will be any different (900/1900/2100 maybe?)
Ah thanks for the correction, I am not that familiar with the Euro market.

June!? Wow by that time we will be nearing our next release of Superphones. That is really odd considering Europe usually gets the best devices.
Well, if you don't want to wait you could always go for the similarly speced LG Optimus 2x...

Strange considering they issued that press release and all...
http://newsroom.orange.co.uk/2011/0...otorola-atrix-the-future-of-mobile-computing/
problem is that the atrix is seen as
a weapon against the iphone5, so the providers want to use it "fresh" against the iPhone5 launch in june/july ... so i think we will get it in april/may/june. but hopefully some european providers are smart enough and launch it in march ... because with the docks it is much more than just an iPhone5 competitor ...
... and i also want to see it free ( amazon, ph ... ) as soon as possible ... moto?
I just can't wait to see a sim-free version for sale, this will definately be my next smartphone!
Are there already rumors for a release date in Germany?
Yeah, any news about EU release, preorder?
Looks like June on Tmobile in the UK

But the dev ed is American right? Will it pick up 4G in the UK? The US use different frequencies. Is it a hardware limitation or can updating the radio fix it to work in the UK?

The UK version has different LTE bands to the USA. So the 64GB Dev edition will not work on 4G(LTE) in the UK.

Hi, I got it from USA with the help of my friend who lives there.
Thanks
A bit more information on purchasing from the USA and supported networks in the UK....
A friend of mine is the chief technical officer of a VERY large mobile operator
I asked him about the HTC One and supported networks.....he went into an insane amount of detail, but here is the summary
Looking at this USA website
http://www0-shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41599
It says this
HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz (US)
HSPA/WCDMA is basically 3G and will work in UK and Europe with those Mhz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE is just old 2G and will work
LTE - this is where we suffer, as Most of Europe including the UK uses 1800 LTE
So basically, if you buy a phone from the USA, you'll get 3G working no problem, but LTE wont work at all because the UK use 1800 and USA HTC ONE doesn't support it.
If you look at the one here
http://www.mobicity.co.uk/htc-one-64gb.html
You'll see it supports LTE 1800, so that will work in the UK with these new super fast speeds
For me, 3G is fine, so i'm going to go for the USA edition and get a friend to bring me one (when black is available)
But for others the 4G/LTE speeds are a deal breaker
He also said the phone should support HSPA+ as its such a new high end device.
But he said he would have to double check it first (but was pretty confident)
HTC One 4G LTE 64GB ... how much ??
I face the very same problem
I want the developer edition too - I'm just waiting for someone to courier it back from the US for me
Its not worth getting the HTC One 64GB from MobiCity at that price - its actually gone down to £670 now as they must not be moving any of the units
if they knock off another £50-£100 I'd consider it.
The problem in the UK is they just turn a dollar sign $ into a £ sign
HTC One 4G LTE 64GB = £671.99
HTC One Dev Edition 64GB = $649.99
and LTE is only available one network here so it wont be beneficial to me till the end of the year

I actually dont think they do a 64gb black dev edition
although I just realised that MobileCity
are pricing the two colours differently
so they actually havent dropped the price at all
I brought it in ringgit malaysia RM2559.00.

Which provider? Airtel has LTE dongles available in a few cities but that's a dongle.
Afaik Reliance, Videocon and Aircel have plans and they might eventually roll out these services in the next couple of years but none of it (excluding Videocon) is supported by N7 or any other LTE phone currently available here with the exception of iPhone 5S and 5C because they use different bands.
Videocon on the other hand will use the widespread FD-LTE which the N7 supports, so Videocon is your only option.
Check the bands. LTE in India is TD-LTE not so in Europe and US or rest of the world.

every dongle has a SIM card inside it, n thts wht u need.
go to any service provider's showroom, almost all of them hav tailor made data plans for non-calling tablets.
and the manager at my local "airtel gallery" himself told me that airtel will launch 4g services in whole of maharashtra by jan2014 end.
I should say I was talking about lte as a whole (Volte, csfb..) earlier.
Even then, Airtel and everyone else with the exception of Videocon uses TD-LTE (different freq and band, 2300mhz and 38/40 iirc) which the N7 does not support.
Off topic but I want to ask something.
I want to buy Nexus 7 tablet for my wife and kid daughter (3 years old, she play games). But I am kind of confused right now.
I know there is considerable difference between Nexus 7 2012 and 2013. But there is also huge difference in prices too.
Nexus 7 (2013) 32GB is selling for 24,000 Rs on Play store. And
Nexus 7 (2012) 32GB is selling for 10,800 Rs on Flipkart (with 10% discount).
So I am totally confused among these two. Is 2013 version really that much better to justify that much price difference, more then double.
Can someone suggest. Thanks
^^
You could buy it from Amazon if you want for 16.8k + duty which will come to about 21k i guess.

Flipkart is selling it now for same prices as Google Play. It also comes with warranty of course.
So we might also buy new Nexus 7 32GB at 22k with 10% cashback on Flipkart.
I bought Nexus 7 2012 in Feb and it was nice tablet. We usually watched videos, internet surf and play fruit ninja or angry birds, kind of stuff. Then I gave this tablet to my niece. And I was waiting for new Nexus 7 but release price is kind of steep and since Nexus 7 2012 is available for a lot cheaper, I am not able to decide.
Will buying 2013 version wiser considering we can get 2012 at half price?
I think that depends on how you are going to use it, for lightweight games and multimedia the 2012 one should suffice, but then i've not used one of these so you should probably wait for a reply from someone who has used both.
At 10k it is a steal though!

You could try taking it to Asus for international warranty (after trying the fix of course). I don't have touch issues but i have that stain around the Nexus logo on the back unfortunately.
Flipkart now selling 16 GB Nexus 7 2012 for 7,999 Rs only and 32 GB for 11,999 Rs only.
If you want to buy this one then hurry. You might not get better deal in future.
I purchased last weeks for 1000 Rs more.

Looking forward to it as well. Btw did Lenovo already closed the deal with Motorola Mobility? Coz if they did, at least Lenovo Mobile PH can bring this officially to PH..

Looking forward to this!
hoping to get this sooner.. one of the best LCD Displays i want.. an AMOLED..
Lenovo hasn't closed the deal yet, this phone was one of the last (apparently) projects of Motorola and Google. Kimstore can give you pretty much of a bargain (I am by no means plugging them here lol)
EDIT: So since I'm a Sun Cellular user, I'd be using the International one when it hits our shores, right?
Yes the international one should be good. I hope meron official support sa PH like Nexus 4 did
Hopefully there's official support since I haven't seen a single Motorola shop here in the Metro.
I just wanna be able to buy it at least from Google Playstore this time around.
So its official, Lenovo now owns Motorola, hopefully they can bring Nexus 6 to the PH, ASAP!

Really excited to pick up the Nexus 6 when I migrate to the US. Google/Motorola just futureproofed the phone.

Lenovo owning moto now has no effect on the Nexus 6...Lenovo had nothing to do with the product development or release. The nexus is all google and moto. Probably won't be seeing moto lenovo products till mid next year.

I see a familiar name. [emoji3]
Me too. Howdy!
Hey thephantom and stankyou! Nice to see you guys again haha! Planning to buy this beast? Couldn't wait, bought the N5 already. ? I'll just buy the N6 again and sell the N5 haha. Cheers!
Wifey wants to have my N5 so I am "allowed" to upgrade. LOL. Bought my Nexus 5 from Kimstore so might end up buying this there. Price point is a bit steep. I am expecting this at around 35K from online shops so I might wait for a couple more months .
EDIT: And its still not available in locally through Playstore.

I live in the US but wish to have an international model. Where are the best places to order this from?
Thanks!

Ebay but they're crazy overpriced right now. I ordered from clove uk. It's actually cheaper than the carrier models here. Downside is that we get it a week after it releases here in the states

Yeah, clove seems to be the best option. Wish you could get the pre-order bonus stuff.

Does the uk model have exynos or snapdragon and do you know if LTE will work on T-mobile?
https://m.clove.co.uk/search.aspx?strKeyword=S8&Brand=Samsung
Should be exynos SM-G950F SM-G955F

Exynos. And yes lte will work on tmobile. Just know wifi calling and volte likely won't work

What about at&t?
WiFi calling should work on the S8 regardless of where bought. I can't guarantee but with the S7 it wasnt a carrier specific model required to get WiFi calling. UK phones are exynos.

The G955F is missing band 30 for AT&T. It's a relatively newer band AT&T is using in cities, so see if your area uses it.
If you do order from Clove in the UK, be aware that the S8 models are NOT considered Pre-Order and they charge your card immediately and their ship date is at least a week later than the US. Ask me how I found out...
I don't know how. But I was able to order the international version unlocked from Samsung UK. They excepted payment and the shipping address is in the US.

Good point. I get 40-80 in my area with band 30 on my OnePlus 3T. I got 20-30 on my mate 9 without band 30 before I sold it.
I live in Norway and just pre-ordered my s8 silver. Total cost (without any lock) was roughly 760 dollars. 5 years warranty. Expected delivery is around 20th of April.

Samsung is very adamant about their phones only being sold in their designated selling region (EG: UK phones sold in the UK). If I were to bet, you'll get an e-mail from Samsung UK canceling your order once they realize they'd be shipping it to the U.S. If for some reason they do ship it to you it won't be usable. All Samsung's EU phones have region lock. A region locked phone has to be used in its selling region (EG: UK) to make a 5 minute voice call using a regional (EG: UK) SIM on a regional network (EG: Vodafone) before it "unlocks" itself. Only after that happens can you use a SIM from outside the phone's selling region. Caveat Emptor.
This is from Clove; Handtec does the same thing...
Since September 2013, Samsung has implemented a 'region lock' on all new stock. Clove Technology only has access to models designed for the “European” region, which covers both UK and mainland Europe. For correct operation, this handset should be activated inside one of these countries with a SIM card issued for use there. The device will then be able to accept SIM cards from outside of these countries.
Activation requires turning the device on for the first time & completing set-up with the SIM installed, then completing at least 5 minutes of voice call(s) with this SIM. Without activation you may still use the device outside of these countries when 'roaming' - using a SIM card from the listed countries.
If this activation procedure is not followed then the device will lock when first attempted to be used with a SIM card from outside of these regions. Local Samsung support may provide a code to unlock such handsets.
IF YOUR CHOSEN DELIVERY COUNTY IS NOT LISTED, CLOVE TECHNOLOGY WILL BREAK THE SEAL ON THIS DEVICE AND ACTIVATE IT. YOU MUST AGREE TO THIS PROCEDURE IN THE CHECKOUT BEFORE THE SALE WILL COMPLETE.

Where did you get this information from?
Anyone know if a F unlock version will support the new tmobile speeds like the tmobile version
