[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gauravahluwalia:
can anyone help me get one from Mexico?

Also whats the rate like in Puerto Rico and Chile?

I can't go for expensive options because in UK i will be charged VAT as well.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
Try to contact [MENTION=2920544]Jaocagomez[/MENTION] to see if he is willing to help, is the only person I know in Mexico that could help you.

Anyway, if you want the phone, take in mind that it will cost you maybe $200-$300 USD more than what it originally costs, there are no cheap prices when trying to get something from another country.

:cyclops:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gauravahluwalia:
Already did that. Think he is a bit busy.

Think the mexican version is not very expensive. Brazilian one is just too much. It's Already like $800-900.

Also any idea if there will be discount in Mexico for Christmas?

I am waiting for it to release in Colombia. Got friends who stay there. Just hope it's not too expensive
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
Is it as easy as just ordering the phone from the website? Or do we need to contact a carrier from Brazil or mexico? Im prepared to purchase a moto maxx as soon as I can figure out how to do it. Literally have the money set aside at this point.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] h4rri3r:
What is the best way to carefully see if the phone will operate fine on my network in Europe?

From what I read, people with OPO have even access to the 4G and these are the network specs of it:

GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz

WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/8

LTE: Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40

I should be fine, right?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Mexico is sold out -- you buy straight from Moto Mexico website. They are only taking registration details right now.

Not available in Chile yet, that I can find out. Unless it's like Puerto Ricon and being sold in stores.

Puerto Rico you can only buy from Claro stores.

Brazil is very expensive.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] respider:
I paid R$ 1715 (US$ 670) for my moto maxx here in brazil in launch day, but this store sold out pretty fast and I believe the price is back to normal normal (plus I dont know if they ship internationally)

http://www.ricardoeletro.com.br/Pro...-494-481115/?prc=3418&cda=018e-6277-a5e5-be54

In case anyone want to monitor the price
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Then you were lucky. All current Brazil sites have stated 2199 reals (U.S.$875) for the past week. And good luck finding a company that will ship international. The one guy selling Brazil Moto Maxx on eBay is charging over U.S. $1000. So that is the price, unless you live in Brazil, where it's $875.

Mexico was U.S. $571, on special sale. But that sale ended, it's now about $100 more, and they are out of stock. Plus, you can only ship to Mexican address.

The op of this thread has offered to help anyone ship from Mexico, but first Motorola has to start selling this phone again in Mexico.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
You don't need to contact anyone besides Motorola's page to get the phone, but the phone is still currently sold out, and there are no notices of when it can be available again. Problem is that Motorola Mexico only ship to mexican addresses, so you have to figure how to send it from a mexican address to your home.

:confused:

Price here in Mexico is again $650 USD, but phone is not currently available, and maybe it will be until december or next year. About christmas discounts, it could be a possibility, because most of the companies that make discounts on the "Buen Fin", also make discounts on christmas, but no one can assure that.

:fingers-crossed:

Yes, it seems that you won't have a problem, OPO and Maxx have the same bands, although OPO have more.

:good:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
Can I have the phone easily shipped to peru? I have a checkpoint / home in Peru that I could have anything shipped to. Please let me know if mexico will ship to Peru.

Sent from my XT1254
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
Yes, you can ship things to Peru, but still you will have to pay an expensive shipping, with insurance of the product and it is almost sure that you have to pay taxes when the phone enters Peru.

:rolleyes:

Just found this today: http://welectronics.com/gsm/Motorola/MOTOROLA-moto-maxx.html $799.99 at Overseas Electronics in Chicago. I don't know anything about them as a retailer RE: reliability

Just called them - they don't have them in stock, but sales rep said they expect them soon. Shipping is $12.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] almondman1:
Maybe someone could figure out how to put a CDMA (or whatever it would take) radio in one of these phones so they would work on Verizon. ??
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] danger2u:
can trust them??

i am interested to buy it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
I just ordered one. THANK YOU.

How did you find that? Good job.

Just kept hunting with Google for variations on Moto Maxx and Droid Turbo.

Keep us posted as to delivery time
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zed011:
http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Overseas_Electronics

It seems like you either get the phone new or you get a used phone or kept being misled around availability dates. Sounds like a dice roll to me.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
well, as the phone was just released earlier this month I doubt they'll ship used ones. We'll see. The least expensive option right now for getting this phone in the USA. They are probably buying them from Claro stores in Peurto Rico and marking up the price $150. $799 is much better than $1050 off eBay. Hopefully get it before Christmas. :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cushcalc:
Sounds scary. There are so many bad reviews it makes me wonder if the few good ones are plants.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] aaronc_98:
I am rolling the dice too...

The perfect phone for me except for the locked bootloader
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gordonzhao:
I've been to their shop, I'm in Chicago, called them yesterday, they don't have them in yet, they said to call back Monday or Tuesday. If I pay in cash they'll usually go down in price. I still have my turbo order on Amazon so I'll see if they're wiling to do $700 for the maxx, otherwise more than that I think I'll wait for the turbo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] aaronc_98:
Ok I got an email back from them after I ordered. It is a droid turbo they're selling as unlocked (look closely at the LTE bands), so it is not the Moto maxx from Brazil or Mexico. Needless to say I am canceling my order.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Why are they calling it the Moto Maxx, then? I'll cancel my order too.

The PICTURES are of Moto Maxx.

False advertising. Argh....
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gordonzhao:
If I stop by after they have some in stock I can confirm if it's the Maxx or turbo

It was time, congrats!

;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] krabman:
Mine is in customs, sigh. You would think an old man like me that gets a new phone every so many months wouldn't be sweating the wait but I am. Realistically though I have to admit I am somewhat of a slut when it comes to cell phones and when you're a slut..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Yes, please let us know what you find out.

But I've already called them twice, and left voice mails and also emailed them to cancel my order. No reply -- they are probably closed due to Thanksgiving holiday weekend here in the U.S.

Since they already have my money, I've also preemptively opened a PayPal dispute over false advertising. This company is calling it a Moto Maxx and they have pictures of the Moto Maxx (no Verizon logo on the back). But checking the LTE bands listed, it's the Droid Turbo LTE bands. :rolleyes: Everything else says "Moto Maxx" -- even the receipt they sent.

I wish it was the Moto Maxx! But I'm not paying $800 for a Droid Turbo. I don't want a Droid Turbo, I need the Moto Maxx LTE bands for AT&T. (For LTE, AT&T currently uses LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 17, while the Moto Maxx has LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 17. Only lacking band 5, which is not used in every market. )

If, by some chance they are really seling Moto Maxx then I'm going to be disappointed that I'm canceling my order, but I just can't take a chance on $800 and receiving a phone I do not want. :(

_________

EDIT: The company just cancelled my order and refunded my money.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] krabman:
Its interesting to note that the FCC filing for the Maxx shows the bands as 2, 4, 5, 7, and 17 and you would think they made sure they got their numbers right for that. Makes you wonder...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Yes, but the U.S. FCC filing would be for a Moto Maxx sold in the U.S., which is not yet.

Motorola is prepared to sell here, but for some reason has not yet. Maybe Verizon has paid for market exclusivity for X number of months...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] krabman:
The mind does wander but only two FCC filings exist for this device, the Turbo and the Moto Maxx, if there was another variant yet to see the light of day with different frequencies supported it would have to also go through the FCC as a separate device and would reference the previous two as the Max references its previous device in the line, the turbo. What I was thinking when I typed that was that the device on sale now as the Moto Maxx may support both sets of frequencies. This in turn opens up the possibility of changing the enabled frequencies as has been done on some other devices.

Guesses all of it an FCC filing does not guarantee that a device will be sold in the US market.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Has to go through the U.S. government FCC if sold in the U.S.

However, the Moto Maxx is being sold in Puerto Rico, which is U.S. territory. The FCC has jurisdiction in Puerto Rico, just as it does in D.C. and Guam.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] krabman:
Exactly, we have two sets of reported frequencies but only one device, that is what I'm saying. The device being sold in PR should comply with the FCC filing and have those frequencies. It appears to me that this is the same device as being sold in Brazil and Mexico as well. See where I'm going? Either the devices sold in Mexico and Brazil support the same freqs as the FCC filing or not which means either the reported frequencies are wrong down there or the same device supports both sets of frequencies. That is my point.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] aaronc_98:
I was just refunded my money too
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Yes, good point. Additional frequencies can be probably be enabled.

Example: 2014 Moto X "Pure Edition" is having additional LTE frequencies enabled via software update by Motorola -- due to complaints that the so called developer "Pure Edition" initially had less LTE bands than the regular Moto X. Then Motorola announced a fix with upcoming software update. ;)

Since this Moto Maxx is very similar to the Moto X (just MUCH better specs), probably the same can be done -- if Motorola wishes or developers can figure it out. :good:

Ajaja its free this weekend with contract on Claropr:D
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gauravahluwalia:
Anyway we can order it for UK (cancel the contract later or something)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
If you break the contact, they will blacklist the phone. Best way is to pay in full up front, about $650. But you have to get someone in Puerto Rico to buy it for you. Only being sold in Claro stores, not even listed on Claro's website.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gauravahluwalia:
bloody hell.

What's the conversion rate in PR coming to?

In Mexico its coming to roughly $646 which is nearly on par with US price.

OP has already offered everyone is getting it.

Only issue is its sold out in Mexico :/
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Puerto Rico is a commonwealth country under the United States of America, and thus uses the United States Dollar (USD) as their official currency.

http://www.virtualpuertorico.com/puerto-rico-currency.php

So, figure conversion rate of British pound to U.S. dollars. ;) This also explains why this phone went through the U.S. FCC for testing but is not being sold in any of the 50 states. But it is being sold on U.S. territory, and thus comes under the auspices of the FCC.

Puerto Rico guy here in the forum said he paid $650.

http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/ge...ion-coming-t2922398/post57034959#post57034959

Someone else in PR paid $576 in another thread, but he signed some kind of payment commitment for two years, not price in full.

http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/general/moto-maxx-sale-puerto-rico-claro-t2954268/
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] prking07:
That $575 wasnt in a contract, it was on Claro update, like att next and tmo jump, it is no contract and you pay the phone monthly. If you cancel the line you have to pay for the phone. So you can get it for cheaper than full price on Claro Update. And you can cancel any time, no eft, pay for the phone and its yours.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Some enterprising person in Puerto Rico could be making an extra $50 - $100 easy over cost, buying and re-selling these phones, shipping them to people like us. :good:

I reached out to co-worker's wife's boss who is from PR, whose brother still lives there. No word yet.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] y2jdmbfan:
Has anyone compared this to a 2014 Moto X or Nexus 6? Not sure I could justify the $400 premium price over the Nexus 6 and almost $600 over the Moto X without really knowing it is better. The Droid Turbo got bad reviews for a slow camera and ugly design among some other issues.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
This was the phone being tested to be the smaller NEXUS 6, as late as mid August. Identical CPU, GPU, RAM, resolution.

But Google stupidly went with the larger variant.

Nexus 6 is too big, this is what we want. (Anything larger than the LG G3 is too big for a phone, for me. Frame size, not display size.)

Moto Maxx vs Nexus 6

This is what the 2014 Moto X should have been. ;) Instead the 2014 5.2" Moto X was basically a copy of the 2013 5.2" LG G2 (go look at the specs), just as the 2013 4.7" 720p Moto X was basically a copy of the 2012 4.7" LG Optimus G. Both those LG phones were the basis of the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, so they were good phones worth ripping off I guess. :) But the 2013 4.7" 720p Moto X espeicially felt dated when released in 2nd half of 2013, as everyone else in 2013 at the time was going 5", 1080p.

But this Moto Maxx takes it to another level.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] respider:
co-worker's wife's boss' brother

wow that's a lot of links
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Well, normally Brazil would be my go-to. My wife is Brazilian, I have two brothers-in-law who live in the Sao Paulo area (Liberdade and just outside in Itatiba). But Puerto Rico Moto Maxx is about $300 less...

I'm telling you that because I see where you are from. ;) Been to Brazil 4 times (two weeks each time), going back next summer.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] respider:
yeah I got mine for R$1715 which is ~US$670 in the launch day but stock was pretty low at this price, I was pretty lucky

but be aware that R$ 2200 is the full price, if you pay at once you can easily find for around R$ 1950 ~ US$ 750

here in brazil is pretty common to buy things in 12 payments, but if you pay in only one payment usually you get 10% off

not exactly a great deal but not that expensive, it's a good plan-b, see:

R$ 2.199,00

Em até 10x de R$ 219,90

Ou R$ 1.979,10 à vista no Boleto (10% de desconto)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mathab:
If I were you I'd wait till lollipop gets released for droid turbo/moto maxx, I'm really hoping that they rushed on making kitkat version work just fine, knowing that a couple of months later they would release lollipop.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Just in case I need to get from Brazil, the phone you got...

Did you buy from an electronics store, carrier store (Vivo, Claro, TIM, etc) or from Motorola website? I see even

Wal-Mart/Brazil

is selling it on their website.

Is your phone locked to a specific carrier? Like Vivo, Claro? Bloatware?

To get the cash 10% discount, where is the best place to buy it?

Just need to know EXACTLY what to ask for in case I get one of my brothers-in-law to buy it for me. Thanks!

(When I was last in Brazil I got a Vivo prepaid SIM to use in my Galaxy Nexus while I was there. What a hassle! My brother in law had to give his tax number, and they kept pressuring him to sign a contract! First one at Claro did not work, then went to Vivo.)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] alexcreto:
I just went to the store and the guy told me 2200 reais. I said I'd pay in one go and he told me he could give me 10% discount. I payed with a debit card, not sure if the discount holds for credit card. Cash it certainly holds.

It's a vanilla-like phone. You get a couple of Motorola apps, such as moto voice, moto screen and the sorts, but no carrier bloatware.

Likewise, its not locked for any carrier. BTW its now forbidden to lock a cellphone to a certain carrier in Brazil now. Every phone must be either factory unlocked or factory unlockable.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] respider:
usually retailers are stock unless stated otherwise... I got mine from Ricardo eletro, a retailer, and it's not attached to any carrier, no bloatware
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] y2jdmbfan:
Yeah, I have the Nexus 6 right now, and as much as I like it, It is just a little too big in my pocket...I also feel like I need a small case on it in case it gets dropped because of the big size...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Claro PR won't sell without contract

Got someone to go to Puerto Rico Claro store and they said Claro insisted the Moto Maxx could not be bought without a contract. (Maybe they meant it had to be activated, but they said "contract".) The person then went to Radio Shack, but that store was out of stock.

If you bought phone without a contract (paid in full) from Claro in Puerto Rico, which store did you buy from? What if you were buying a gift for someone? Does the phone have to be activated?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Update?

Curious... Did you ever get your phone using this method?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cristiano.elias:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PLGVIE:
Delivery is still said to be expected around the 8th of Dec.

My CC has been charged but I haven't got any further information. As far as I've read here none of the others who bought at the same time, has received neither the phone nor any shipping details, so still nothing to be preoccupied.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mathab:
Just called Motorola, they said "Your phone is still in the factory (if it hasnt shipped I assume it's there....), its expected to arrive on Dec 8th(I know since I placed my order thats the date they gave me), lets wait and see if it arrives by then if not you can call us again" ¬¬ They don't help much... :(
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
An employee edition of the "Moto Maxx" would be nice, but not an employee edition of the Verizon Droid Turbo. I use AT&T LTE.

Got a flight attendant friend heading to Puerto Rico late December. Need to know of the phone has to be activated on Claro to buy it? Anybody know?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cristiano.elias:
And in the twenty-sixth day, [MENTION=5665238]alexcreto[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1220096]respider[/MENTION] said: "Let there be root!". And there was root.

help from someone with a maxx

I was wondering if anyone with a moto maxx would be interested in helping me out a little bit. I have a droid turbo and I'm using it with AT&T. I have ok hspa service but i'm looking into trying to enable band 17 since that seems to be the one missing for most of us that want to use it on AT&T. I've already tried changing the LTE config decimal with QXDM. That didn't change anything so far. The maxx looks similar to the turbo in the fcc filing so I'm hoping that it should support band 17. I was hoping someone with a maxx could help me compare some things. PM me if anyone wants to help. It would be a great help. If any developers have any ideas feel free to send me a PM also. Thanks everyone.
