I plan to buy the RAZR, but if buy a US version here in India, will I get future OS upgrades or will my phone be locked?
I had this same question whilst buying my HD7, the shop dealer showed me a T-mobile HD7 and a regular one. Fearing the fact that it will be locked while upgrading, I bought the regular(local) one. ( there was a good 10k difference between the two.)
And like we all know there are two versions, Motorola Razr and Droid Razr, if I pick the latter, will I not be getting any benefits/upgrades or there will be no problems at all?
Hi
Not relevant to the question you have asked, but I have one question and one point:
Question: How much cheaper are you offered the Droid Razr compared to the regular Razr?
Point:
I had found out re Blackberry, that the new 9930 (CDMA version of 9900) does not work with Vodafone in India as Verizon has put some block on it. Ebay sellers in India state that the 9930 will not work with Vodafone India.
Now, could there be a similar block with the Droid Razr as well?
As to your question, I am sure someone on XDA would post the upgrades as they become available for the Droid Razr, it might not be OTA, but I don't think I have heard of an update that has been released that XDA have not also made available manually.
Let me know if the Droid Razr is significantly cheaper than the Razr. If it is, I don't mind visiting Mumbai to pick it up at a cheaper price.

Hi..
Firstly, the device hasn't hit Indian shores...secondly, like I mentioned, when I wqs going to buy the HD7, the Tmobile was 10k cheaper than the legal/local one... I got my for 28 and the US version was 18k...that's a lot...thirdly you are right, someone would post the update here and I don't need to worry about the warranty, as the phone itself doesn't have any, considering its a US device...i am just wondering if its worth the gamble...
If the price difference is as big as your HD7 experience and I could check out a piece in store before committing my money, I would take the risk in buying a Droid Razr. Rs.10K buys a lot of additional stuff, pays a lot of bills...
(Also subject to no network blocks in India like I had read about the Blackberry 9930).

i honestly doubt there will be any sort of block...just that is shouldnt turn out to be a CDMA..as these type of phones dont have a SIM card slot...yes, agree 10k is a lot, but paying that extra 10k is also a lot of peace of mind.
If something goes awry tomorrow, i know i can screw Motorola's happiness. But if the phone is unlocked/jail broken and a US edition, i can say good bye to that 18k and head to the Himalayas...
Your call, all I wanted to know is that can I have a working/functioning US version here in India...?
Also do you know there is a Driod Razr and a Motorola Razr. Droid ones are for US and the rest are for global..

US version ie Driod Razr is a CDMA device and most networks in India are GSM so i suggest not to go for the US Droid Razr coz CDMA devices are generally locked to their respective networks and Indian CDMA operators wont entertain Verizon devices...

I have to agree. Its safe paying that extra bit. Also, am not planning to buy it anytime now seeing the current chaos of some having the green tint and not others...a couple of months lets say?
So I did a quick search if there was any thread regarding people's experience switching from atrix 4g to moto x and couldn't find any.
For those who did switch over to the Moto X, what significant changes did you experience (like or dislike) from switching over from the Atrix 4g? I really love the fingerprint scanner to turn my phone on without looking or having to input any code, which is part of why I have not upgraded or so. My Atrix 4g is still going strong, but I was contemplating whether I should give the Moto X a try.
Another reason why I was thinking of getting the Moto X is that, we, atrix 4g users, were promised $100 credit from Motorola/Google for not updating the OS of our phones, as long as we switch phones to another Motorola phone, if I remember right. So with that being said, the Moto X price just dropped to $99, which would make it essentially free for us as long as we renew our contract if I am correct in thinking so. Has anybody tried that approach yet? The price drop for the Moto X is new so I don't think anyone has tried yet, but I would like to hear opinions about this as well.
Wasn't that offer a limited time one?

I just checked through the email that they have sent me, the $100 credit is still active until... June 30, 2014.
does that apply to international customers?
And is that only if you get a plan?

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to include the link, but its a link I shared in slickdeals.net. didn't seem to get any momentum.
To answer your question, I think you need to be in the mainland US for it to work. You'll need to purchase your new phone (i.e. Moto X, or other phones included in the link I provided), fill up a rebate form from Moto (also included in the link), trade in your Atrix (or other phones that qualify), then they will send you the rebate.
The phone that you trade in must have been bought from the US.
So I've noticed that the flagship version of the Moto X 2015 isn't slated for a release in Canada, but I couldn't find anything on why that might be. My current assumption is that it's got something to do with the awful state of our dollar, but any clarification/other speculation is welcome.
So, I'm looking to buy a one max for the heck of it since HTC decided to go w the 5.2" on the m10. I want to go back to htc but keep the big screen. I'm looking at a sim unlocked 803s. Can anyone let me know the diff between 803s/809d/8088? I'm in the US on AT&T, any issues rooting w this model and is this the best model to use w my carrier? Thanks in advanced [emoji106]

I Just got one from ebay. 803s. Not sure what the difference are but mine got shipped with s.off and super cid. Saved me a few bucks on not having to use Sunshine.
I have tossed between buying verizon Moto z or x pure. Saying price is not an issue. I will use it in T-Mobile. Many said x pure is a better phone than z? Is it true?
I don't use verizon, does z have all GSM bands? can I do firmware update using computer when verizon has new firmware come up?
Any comments are welcome.
The verizon Moto Z does not have all GSM bands. If using it on Tmobile, I would say get the Moto X Pure, despite having 'lesser' specs than the Z. Band 12 is important for Tmobile, and the Verizon Moto Z does not have band 12 support.

The Z is a much better phone. The AMOLED screen on the Z looks better and works better with Moto Display. The battery life on both phones is crappy but at least with the Z you have the option to use a battery mod. Really, the only advantages the X has are the headphone jack and front facing speakers. The Z has a fingerprint sensor, Mods, and will likely get the next major Android version.
There is no reason to buy the Verizon version (Droid model) to use on T-Mobile when there is an unlocked version readily available. The unlocked version has all the frequencies you need.

Hi ccheung,
The Moto Z is a better mobile than Moto X Pure. Moto Z has a better processor, more RAM, a good camera, a better display, and so on.
The Moto X Pure is still an excellent mobile, and will likely be a lot cheaper now that the Moto Z is on the scene. If you can afford it, however, you’re most likely going to want to go for the Moto Z.
Thanks

The better choice is obviously the newer phone, especially in its unlocked form.
But if flashing custom firmware is your thing, the Moto X is actually the better bet as there's an active dev community for it. The Moto Z's dev community is still rather quiet.
