How long did yours take to arrive?
What style did you choose?

I have just been on the phone to them.
If you ring them they will give you £60 worth of vouchers to use.
I said I don't want vouchers I'll rather have £60 refunded to me. They said they can't do anything, so I said I am entitled under UK law to return the phone within 2 weeks of receiving it.
So now they are processing a return for me.
Stupidity beyond belief.

No answer on the phone, no answer on the chat, we will see the email...

The vouchers are valid only for 24 hours and to buyanother phone, no the moto 360.

That's ridiculous.

Yes I know. Im going to pass the vouchers to a friend, he is buyimg it later

Order placed - 32Gb £399 - Est Delivery 10 Nov.....

Bought the 16GB in black for £359.99.
The ETA of the 10th of November is a bit of a letdown, let's hope it's quicker for such a standard choice (all basic black) :highfive:

Same ETA here, I went all black with Red trim :good:

I had a similar eta when I ordered mine but it arrived in 5 days.

My ETA was about 6 days. Arrived in 3. Was bloody immense.

Howdy. How's you?!
After Lollipop I will have a think. This phone is so good on stock anyway I've not the urge for KitKat. I do know I'd like a few edits on Lollipop though.
Do miss it a bit

Good Enjoying running lollipop on my N5, but craving new hardware :laugh:
Stock on the Moto X does look perfect, but you know once lollipop hits we have to get this dev section going :victory:
Really hoping I get the phone by the end of this week, but it looks like Moto may have a lot of orders to go through (hence the long ETA). The droid turbo does look nice but as someone on here pointed out to me, capacitive buttons, yuck!

I got rid of the nexus in the end and kept the HTC M8, had to get the moto x though. Wanted it from last years model so just bit the bullet. Hopefully you get a good turnaround on your delivery. I imagine I won't be able to resist making something when lollipop drops.
Going to have to get my hands on a moto 360 as well I think.
No droid turbo though. For the same reason. On screen keys are the way forward !

In the same terrible situation as folks without a confirmed date. sony in my country (Singapore) just did a pre-order for SEX1. But I am waiting for operators to pick it up and offer it with contract so that it will cost lesser. Anyway, i am not keen on what the pre-order is giving.

I finally got my HAD TO HAVE IT NOW Xperia - Probably going to sell it .. Haven't even put it in my purse or taken it out of the house. My eyes are older than I am and with the super great resolution everything is too small for me to read .. gotta whip out my magnifying glasses to use it ..
JEEZ ...
Where did you guys order yours from and how much did you pay for it? (include shipping and tax) I'm looking to get one but I dont know where is a reliable place to buy it. Anyone have experience with Clove?

Thank you mom.
I think it does, im tired of *****ing in the other one about my declared war with Motorola
Mine came nicely packaged Wednesday at 11am, free case and all.
got mine yesterday from fedex with the case
Should be here on Monday standard shipping
got it yesterday
got it an hour ago
Little laggy in the browser, but not too shabby
Got mine yesterday 2 day shipping.
Got mine today so you can close the thread now! lol
Got mine today. Poor packaging, xoom box was not sealed and xoom was slidding around freely in box. Everything appears to be fine. I love this thing, only complaints are the speaker placement and the screen contrast. Othewise, I can't set this thing down!

Well add me to the received tracking info side. Should be here by tuesday.
Only 3 more days left of *****ing & moaning for me!
F Motorola, lol, that is all. Still nothing, no tracking or call back
I am also still waiting... I am tempted to go buy one locally to make sure I like it. If I dont I would return the one I bought and sell the one I got from Motorola for some money. But after reading some reviews I think it will be okay.

Samsung Galaxy II seems ridiculously good :P

Hey guyss i was just watching a video seconds ago and it has me really tempted to get it but im curious to try wait for the iphone 5 to see how it stacks up but this video seems amazing the speed and smoothness is godly

Wow looks amazing..
I think im gonna use touchwiz this time too instead of launcher pro... looks well nice
Yeah it does look amazing + super fast response. I want it now

My point was it would be more than one week, and you supported it
Re Fedex - what if the customs stop your package out of all, decide to open it, and then send you a bill for the customs fee? Such packages often spend extra 1-2 weeks at customs, and end up costing more to the recipients.
I have no info on the number of packages checked by the US customs though. I never ordered anything expensive from abroad. I bet the chances of customs intervention are very very low.

Looks very fast in that video, but in this video when its compared to the lg optimus 3d its dog slow, takes around 8 seconds to load the benchmark while the lg takes 1 second, could this be the dual channel memory advantage?

it could also be the pre-production model disadvantage. we will never know exactly what those pre prod models are doing and why they are so slow (relative to other dual cores PROD models). For sure Samsung has premature drivers on them, extra software that is logging everything for troubleshooting and performance follow up, etc. DO not even judge SGS2 by the pre prod models .

Lmao dual channel memory.. given that this LG has 512MB of RAM and that this "dual" thing means that it is cuted in two, there is not much left for it to shine vs the 1GB DDR2 RAM of the GSII...
it s just that it was a very early prototype of GSII, that's all story
Aren't they all prototypes? Even with paltry 512mb of ram that optimus 3d seems to load that game pretty quickly, almost too quickly you gotta admit that.
wow thank you for handtec link! I might actually buy it from there! thanks

The more I look at this device..

The more I want it.. haha I was going to pass on the M9 this year but the more I look at it the more I want it.. I just can't afford it right now Hopefully in a couple months I can. AT&T is charging 700 full price for it The developer is 650 which is a much better option..My wheels are spinning thinking how I could swing it.. hahah
I just wish they didn't do away with GPE so I could do a conversion for the m9 as well
I'm in the same boat. I was gonna pass,or at least wait a few months and pick up a used one.
But I'm starting to rethink it,lol

Feel the same way. Especially since a lot of what ails the phone should be fixed by software tweaks (camera, battery, etc). Trying my best not to hit buy for something that is clearly still half-baked even with the latest updates.

Got the sorry your phone is on backorder email @ 9:30 am. I'm not sure if only the DE phones got that, or all the orders got that. Did anyone that ordered today actually get a confirmation their phone was shipping ?
I'll sell my M8 and M7 now to help offset the price, If they ever ship

i agree. ill defiantely get one,lol... just a matter of when!
M7 + m8 = m9
Definitely getting myself a m9 indeed. Just checked it out and it feels awesome.
An awesome week spent with M9 - all backdraws of M7 and M8 are gone = the perfect phone !!!
Even after the massive slagging this phone took after it's MWC announcement, I wanted it. This would have been my 5th HTC android phone in the last 5 years (including the M7 and M8), so it just seemed natural.
Then came Anandtech.
I can accept that the 810 is a bit of a bandaid for Qualcomm. I can even handle the fact that the camera isn't as good as the competition. But when HTC cheaped out on the display, which is arguably the most important part of the phone, that was just as slap in the face. I've swallowed the bitter pill that there is no software update that can fix the lack of PSR, and am genially sad that I'm not going to get this.
I suggest you see it for yourself ,most people who have got the device early reported the screen is excellent
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The screen is SIMPLY PERFECT.
I must get it. Hahah I can't believe the dev edition is cheaper than the att version at full price. I'm trying to raise the money now so I can get one. I only have $649 left to raise. Hahahhah
Edit just realized htc has the att version for 649 as well. But att told me it was 700. Him any rate. Need this phone. Hahah

It may well be good, and it could possibly be great with software calibration in the updates. But nothings going to address the lack of PSR, which is a shame. The battery life is just not going to be what it should.

I'm not holding my breath for this to happen anytime in the near future. Probably most of us are on our next phone by then.

Agreed. There's nothing that I've thrown at this phone that it hasn't been able to handle. At one point there is going to be diminishing returns when it comes to computing power and phone software. That time seems to be about now. Until more hardcore GPU driven software starts to come out I don't feel I need to upgrade anytime soon.
Yeah we just got LP in June, so I'm thinking next June for MM?? By the time we get it, the rest of Android will be ready for the next version..lol

It was actually July 1.
Soak test was in June, but OTA started July 1.
Back in March, Motorola insiders leaked info that the Droid Turbo would get Lollipop in July. We thought that was a joke, but it was the sad truth.
I stand corrected...
I still think our huge delay had more to do with problems with lollipop itself then Motorola. I'm going with 6.0 before the end of 2015.

Looks like we may be getting MM earlier than expected (those that are more technically inclined). Turns out our bootloader is unlocked! Awaiting release.

I hear you. :highfive: The Turbo is a beast!
I mean, just look at the specs on this thing. Some of the new phones coming out now don't stack up to the Turbo specs-wise. Come on bootloader unlock, I'm keeping my Turbo.
We'll have it as soon as Justin updates sunshine.
Tapped out from my Motorola Droid Turbo, featuring Android 5.1. Please pardon my brevity.
Sunshine was released a few hours ago.
