I don't think I really want to meet Ryan Mallet, He always came off kinda douchey at Arkansas and now New England.

 

Crochet, croquet...touché.  Well played, Nickel, well played.

I was supposed to put up a display for the Moto X at my Best Buy store to replace the Z10 table, but they only sent us one sign out of everything that was supposed to be displayed. So probably this Sunday we will have live models set up. I've only held the dummy phones we have so it will be nice to play with the real thing.

Android Central is reporting the Moto X will be available starting tomorrow (September 6) through Sprint.  Moto Maker will be available in the coming months as AT&T has the exclusive on that until sometime in November.

News release went out a little bit ago

Funny thing is the only Android/Sprint news feed I don't follow is newsroom.sprint.com

 

Btw, I love how they have a picture of a guy poking at an iPhone4 next to the Moto X announcement.

You, and anyone else on S4GRU, can call me Noah, if you prefer that. Usernames seem so, impersonal.

 

Just start signing your posts at the end like AJ. We refer to him as AJ instead of WiWavelength, which sounds like a decepticon from Transformers!  :lol:

I wish he didn't sign it, then I could call him WiWave, which sounds pretty cool in my opinion.

You are welcome to call me WiWave.  In other corners of the Web, plenty have already done so.

 

I sign my posts basically to assume ownership of them.  I am not going to hide behind some Internet veil of anonymity.  I am proud of my posting legacy and think of myself as a man of letters.

I was mainly kidding, although it does sound cool, but are you sure you're a man of letters? I was thinking more along the lines of hieroglyphs.

Close.  All of my posts are composed in cuneiform before Google's translation service uploads them to S4GRU.  And when I speak of my tablets, I am referring to my clay tablets.

That's pretty intense, you just gotta make sure you don't break the tablets in anger when you see a golden calf.

We have them in my store. I like the look and feel. It tiny looking, very small bezels when I hold it it seems so small, but with a good sized screen. I like the curved backing to.

I bought one, but through telesales, as I was told no stores had received them yet (across the country according to some I spoke to). I should get it today supposedly, though the tracking looks more like tomorrow...

 

I think it will be pretty near ideal for me, but I'm a bit worried that in a year I will regret not waiting for a tri-band device.

The funny thing is, that's really a big selling point for me, but rather the size, build and quality.

holding the phone, playing with it (at at&t) it just feels great, in a way that very few phones do. I would compare it to when I first played with the original evo; it just feels great.

I played with the Moto X at the ATT store as well.  Too bad I couldn't set the voice to test out the always on Google Now feature since it was too loud in the store.  I still don't like that the actual screen real estate is 4.3 inches since the onscreen buttons take up so much room and that it is single band LTE.  I do like the build quality of the phone and feels really nice and the always on Google Now.  I definitely want to check out the Sprint version at the store for kicks.

A little creepy, but funny

 

The really creepy part is that the always on Google Now is going to record and process all of the words and noises that follow.  Hey, we all know that massages lead to...

 

;)

At least at the store I went to, with my voice, it worked even though it had not been set up, you just have to think to try talking to it anyway haha.

It worked amazingly well for the noise level, and turned on quite quickly upon saying the phrase.

 

Screen size might be hard to adjust to if you have a current high end phone, but is the same as my Galaxy Nexus, so it feels just fine to me.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
