Yeah, I'm inclined to get this one too.

I'm with both of you.  I'm torn between this and the new iPhone (and the new Nexus IF it isn't 5.9" as rumored).  I don't know if I can give up the customization of Android though after having a Nexus 5. 

Probably will wait and see what the real life RF performances are of the devices...  and if USCC gets bought out by Sprint or becomes a RRPP member since their 10x10 B12 channel would be a great fallback in the rural areas around here! 

B41 makes my world. Are you guys doing a write up for the wall? And does anyone have the link to the fcc document.

https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/GetApplicationAttachment.html?id=2373669

Glancing through the FCC docs...  Looks like it might be a pretty good B25 performer, average B26, and good for B41.

 

Model A1524*

FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29)

TD-LTE (Bands 38, 39, 40, 41)

Interesting...  Still no Band 12.  Poor USCC.  They still can't use their iPhones on their main band around here. 

Edit:  But what is even better...  All those T-Mobile customers expecting better coverage when B12 deploys...  Sure hope they don't buy the iPhone 6! 

My feed keeps cutting in and out...  but absolutely no sound.

Lost the feed...

....Awesome

EDIT: its back for me.

And...  its gone.

ok my live feed just stopped.  Still have music

Mine did too.  I had to refresh the page.

Anyone else annoyed at the fact there are two music feeds being broadcasted at the same time?  I muted it of course, but it would've been nice to leave it up in the background until I hear some voices.

I certainly hope that isn't true...  No way would I drop $799 for a 4.7" 16 GB model.

Pioneer and Bluegrass announced now. No USCC announced yet. It makes me wonder if USCC and Sprint are having some backroom buyout negotiations. Or maybe I'm just hoping.

I am hoping as well.  If/when the roaming agreement/buyout gets announced with USCC, it will make the new Moto X all that much more intriguing to me since it includes B12!

Unless I am mistaken most of USCC LTE is band 5. Not that that is a problem for this device.

 

My pet peeve is the listing of bands that are subsets of bands. Listed are 02, 04, 05, 12, 17, 25, 26, 41. By that logic, they should have also included 19 and 38 (and possible some others) to it.

 

Or better yet just save some numbers and list 4, 17, 25, 26, 41...

I know around here B12 is USCC's main LTE band, but they refarmed their 850 spectrum to also add on B5 for the iPhone.  In my particular county, USCC has a 10x10 chunk in B12 (700a and b - USCC is probably the sole reason why there isn't any native AT&T coverage since they grabbed 700b and the cellular A license), but only a 5x5 chunk for LTE in B5.  Either way, good news!

According to the spec, the Sprint Moto X (2014) should be model XT1092 with specs below:

 

GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz);

UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1700 (AWS), 1900, 2100 MHz);

CDMA (850/1900 MHz);

4G LTE (02, 04, 05, 12, 17, 25, 26, 41)

 

It appears it will work on all major US carriers except Verizon similar to the Nexus 5!

Wait...  So this includes USCC's main band, B12?  Very nice if the rumored USCC LTE roaming deal comes along pretty soon! 

Also Motorola typically (at least in my past experiences) puts out devices with above average RF performance.  Hopefully this will be the same.  Depending on what else comes out this month or next, I may need to give this device some serious consideration.

I use reddit to find/fill my customers framilies every day You wasted $20.

Yeah, I posted mine on there and had max discount in two days.  There really isn't any reason to pay for it.

Yeah, I considered that possibility as well.  It's really confusing though, because if it's *not* the display diagonal dimension, then what is it?  It can't be the chassis dimensions, because sqrt(72.6^2 + 140^2) != 149^2.  If we consider reasonable bezel sizes, it would in fact suggest that 149 mm is not the diagonal screen size.  If we consider mathematical truths, then H=140mm, W=72.6mm can't have a diagonal of 149mm, suggesting they are not chassis sizes.  So what is it?

Just throwing out an idea...  Could be completely off, but I don't know how they specifically measure these things. 

What about the fact that the edges are likely curved?  The chassis diagonal will be slightly lower than the equation would say.  It's not like the original Moto X was a complete rectangle...

Droid Life believes this device is the new Moto X (the AT&T variant), which would make sense...  A sliver of hope yet again.

Quote from Droid Life below:

Since many are assuming that the FCC’s measurement of 149mm across the display screen means a 5.9-inch display on the phone, I’ll have to stop you there. Keep in mind that the LG G3 has a 5.5-inch display with minimal bezel, yet it measures 146.3×74.6mm. There is no way that the new Moto X can measure 140×74.6mm, yet have a display that is .4-inches bigger than the LG G3. It’s just not possible. The FCC filing is likely just misrepresenting the situation here a bit by putting “display screen” on the image to indicate that this is the front of the phone. These measurements are for the entire phone, not just the display.

 

Just spotted on the FCC website.

 

 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/fcc_query.php?gc=IHD&pc=T56QA1

 

(just using phonescoop.com to redirect to the appropriate FCC page)

 

This appears to be a flagship-level device since it supports LTE, NFC, WiFi on 2.4 and 5 GHz, etc.  This variant is intended for AT&T/T-Mobile based on the supported bands.

 

Device dimensions: 

   Height: 140 mm (5.51")

   Width: 72.6 mm (2.86")

   Screen diagonal: 149 mm (5.87")

 

Based on that, it's probably the rumored Moto "Shamu"?

I hope it isn't the new Nexus...  I would certainly hope that Sprint would get the next one, but this tells otherwise since I don't see them making more than one US variant.

They have officially sent out invitations for Sept 9th.

Please tell me its old.....

 

I saw the pay etc fees but the 4s is a while back.

It looks extremely old... 

On Framily, you can pay extra for unlimited. But you don't have that options for the new plan

 

But it's good to know there are still unlimited out there.

...And you can keep your unlimited Framily plan - as I am since I have the max discount.  No one is forcing any of the new plans on you.  Do whatever works best for your situation. 

Meh... Nothing too exciting. My full Family plan is better than I would get as an existing customer.

I guess that wasn't meant to be seen by the public took them long enough to figure it out that it was uploaded publicly

Yeah...  I am sure it will be "officially" announced on Tuesday at the event.

I doubt that we'll see Band 4 & 12 in the Note series until the Note 5.

I think Band 12 is a possibility since USCC has had the Note series w/ B12 for awhile now.  Will be interesting though if the Sprint one adds it this year or not.  I am sure they are capable, it will come down to whether or not they had enough time after the announcement from Sprint about the CCA.

The plastic on that thing looks too glossy and slippery to me.  I tend to use my devices without a case.  I haven't dropped a phone of mine in many years (*knock on wood*).

This device looks like the backplate will resemble the G2's in how slick it is.  But...  The M8 in a plastic shell with the same internals?  Could be a RF beast seeing how the M8 holds its own...
