[Exclusive Rumor] Moto's X Phone: Multi-Carrier, Key Lime Pie, Google I/O & More

[Garemlin]

Locked bootloaders don't really bother me anymore as my need to flash constantly has gone away. When the desire hits I tinker with my Nexus 7. I have come to a point that as long as I can root I am perfectly happy. My phone is always my daily driver and I don't like to tinker too much and end up out of commission with a bad flash or ROM. With that being said I still prefer Moto phones over any other. But their offerings over the last few years have become, for lack of a better word, boring. Both in hardware and software. Hopefully the new X will refresh the Moto line and bring something fresh and new.

even out of principle? That is total crap. "Oh, you want to do what you want with your phone, that you paid for? $15/month extra"

Buy from Google. Cheaper. No unlocked bootloader fee.

Locked bootloader comment coming in 3.....2.......1.......

I tend to think that, if Google really wants this phone to succeed, they will have a bootloader that is either unlocked, or can easily be unlocked. If that annoys some carriers, well... (shrug)

This would most likely bring me back into the Moto fold

Sounds like the Bionic again which I wasted money on.

Prediction;

It'll be thin and cool looking. Have a LOCKED bootloader and an updated version of ugly ass blur running on KLP. Oh and loads of bloatware, because god forbid we don't have bloatware!!


Until Motorola collaborates with Google to make an ultimate Nexus phone I don't care about the X Phone , they'll never get another cent from me again.

Since Google now owns Motorola Mobility, I'm thinking collaboration might be a possibility, LOL.

Remember how Motorola and Verizon screwed the smartphone World with that piece of $hit
Bionic? Never again!

Google owned Motorola when That pile of dog $hit
Bionic was hyped up and put on the market.
You know it's bad when the head of the division opens up then closes a google
Plus page that discusses among other things
The fact that "bionic owners got a raw deal".
