Probably easier hardware to deal with. It's not as fancy-shmancy

 

[wicked]

Good point. @Wynnded

Less customization, more units sold worldwide, Lenovo ownership. That's my guess. But I agree with @Wynnded, too

You can get a Moto E for $99 and SOL BT Speaker with 1 yr of Tracphone service for $99

Probably most importantly of all, it appears the Moto E isn't capable of VOLTE, so it's running dual antennas and the earlier architecture common with most of the other Motorola phones (and others), that have already received the move to Lollipop.

The following 17 devices (and their iterations), are on Verizon and support HD Calling (VOLTE) with Simultaneous Voice & Data Out (SVDO), so if it's not one of them, then it's likely that the Lollipop update can be ported over pretty easily.

LG G4
LG Lancet
iPhone 6
iPhone 6 Plus
Galaxy S6
Galaxy S6 Edge
Droid Turbo
Galaxy S5
Oppon One M8
Galaxy Note 4
Galaxy Note Edge
LG G3
Google Nexux 6
LG G2
Droid MAXX
Galaxy Core Prime
Droid Mini

Just my two cents worth, but folks have been hammering Moto about this on their forum for weeks. But, in the past they were constantly beat up for not selling enough phones overseas and not supporting the global community for the phones they did sell globally. Along comes the Moto E and Moto G and boom.....millions of units sold globally.....they were a big success. Now they are focusing updates where they have the most market, and now getting beat up at home by Moto X, Droid Maxx and Droid Turbo owners. Sometimes you just can't win for losing.

I can see that as a possibility.. But with the contract with vzw, and all the quick update talk, and releasing a phone that was crippled (voice and data) and most people...including me..didn't even know that..I expected the phone to be able to everything the maxx could and more..

And now sand bagging with information.. They're going to get all sorts of negative reactions..

Would vzw give you 7 months to do anything? I can tell you that if vzw finds an issue with a tower..if they're leasing space..they expect quick response..other than weather stopping climbers...it had better be immediate...

But they seem to carry the ...we're us and you're you, mentality..

I wouldn't say all sorts of negative reaction. Think about it... We're really in the minority that even know lollipop is coming to this thing. Vzw knows this and Motorola knows this. In the end they aren't concerned with the ramblings of a few nerds on some forums.

Well..the number of that few nerds is up exponentially.. But of those people...lots of em are not happy .

 

[94lt1]

Also..for a company with a market share like moto...I'd be doing all I could to keep repeat buyers...those nerds buy their phones..those nerds when ticked...will buy someone else's phone...suddenly the noise of nerds...means a little more

 

[jstafford1]

I see what you mean...but we don't know the actual percentages or the real issues with the update. Could be something simple or big that's held things up. But I'll take a good solid update over one pushed through just to get it out.
