The two android phones that I have had are Motorola – Droid 1 and RAZR 1. But the recent decline in their phones and their arrogance to refuse to unlock bootloaders are really the last straw for me. The next phone I get will not be a moto for sure. Plus, they are still just planning to update phones to JB, Who knows when they will get to 4.2? Finally, who are going to be in the lucky “hundreds” to be guinea pigs? This is just laughable at best.

I hope to see the new Googarola do just that. If you are you and come back to check this post, will Googarola ever have a unlocked phone sold via the Play Store that will run on Verizon?

MFN allows you to test FINAL software, so any bugs have to be addressed in a future patch, or if severe enough they’ll delay the release to fix it; for the most part though, everything is baked in with MFN builds. This sounds like you can preview TEST builds and provide feedback to improve the software as they build it, rather than the other way around. If this is the case, it’s a major win for us.

well trust me, im right. There is a guy i follow for news because he has sources within moto itself. Everything he says comes true and he says a moto nexus is coming in 2013. They are also working with intel on a quad core beast phone.

Motorola is only going to release 2 or 3 phones next year, one of them being a nexus but all of them being beast phones.

not only that, but one of the things won during those negotiations was unlocked bootloaders for a couple moto phones in 2013. Not only that, but verizon is facing pressure from the FCC AND FTC because locking bootloaders was basically found to be illegal.

tell me you are not this naive. you are telling me that you of all people heard nothing of the recent contract negotiations between motorola and verizon in which google stepped in, sent in its legal team to back moto, and totally took it to verizon at the table? you’re telling me you hear none of that?

And have you seen the new blur? its basically stock with smart actions.
