Pricing for Moto X ( off contract )

-16 gig $299
-32 gig $350

For the XF to be the game changer they're touting it to be, it'll have to be $199-$249 off contract. That should shake up the mid-range market a bit. If they shoot for the $299-$349 price range then you can expect them to move the nexus devices to the premium price range $399+

rumored specs for the note 3 are 5.9in screen ,13mp cam, 3 to 4 gigs of ram , 8core processor, OVERKILL imo though , i like to find a balance between specs,prices and reliability

Android 4.3 restored project butter quote me on that.....

The specs race doesnt make sense when google is revamping android to make it run smoothly on low spec devices

Moto x will be optimized like the nexus 4

This is what Android 5.0 is bringing to the table

The company's hardware efforts come as it wraps up development on the next version of Android, which is expected to be released in the fall. Among other things, the software will be better tailored to the lower-cost smartphones prevalent in developing countries with the aim of firming up Android's market-share globally, said some of the people familiar with the matter.

Some industry experts say that the most recent versions of Android are better for higher-end devices than lower-end or older ones that had, for instance, 512 megabytes of memory.

The coming version of Android is supposed to remedy the issue, said people familiar with the matter, and also help mobile app developers focus on optimizing their apps for fewer versions of the software.

Am done flashing don't want to have to keep up with rom and kernel updates

and you want to wait 6 months to get an update from verizon lol.....The galaxy nexus exist. It was a horrible experience. The verizon galaxy nexus was 3 updates behind at one point. Nexus needs to be on a gsm network to get the pure experience. You will still need to flash roms to get updates. 5.0 wont reach the galaxy nexus until may of 2014. The moto x is stock android.
