haha. I do hope they do actually release it on the 3rd... but optimism is so non-British. Cynicism sits much better ^.^ I think the standard build phones would ship pretty fast anyway so a release on the 3rd for them makes sense; whereas customised moto maker ones will probably take more time anyway.

Here's to hoping a company makes a decent screen protector for this phone too in time for its release! oh wait... hope... bad...
[X Style (Pure) General] Geordie Affy:
Lol

Talking of which I dont think any Tempered glass screen protectors worked on last years model ... proper gutna.

Neither on the Nexus 6... Those round screens sure look nice but they are more fragile and makes it impossible to put a tempered glass.
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
Anybody notice that after the launch there has been zero follow-up by Motorola to ride the positive buzz to a launch? This makes zero business sense unless we consider what also happened just after the launch.

I am wondering if Lenovo is the issue. They zapped 500 from Moto's mobile division in Chicago and also let go of key software dev teams. It could be possible that given the staff reductions and distraction and disruptions this is not a good time frame to launch and would explain the pull of the announcement. Apparently feedback from Chicago does not suggest a facility "all systems go" for a launch and employees reporting they are still in shock and key positions were also laid off that are not filled to cover a launch.

I would not hold breath for a Sept 3 launch and also concerned for product support since apparently will be given to Lenovo who have no clue about Motorola (if you have dealt with Lenovo, they do not appear to have a good grasp of their own products as far as support). Shame too, since was looking forward (big time) to a 64GB version. Hoping I am reading too much into the events.

Whatever the case, you do not launch with such positive buzz and go dark like this. That defeats a key purpose of a launch in the first place.
[X Style (Pure) General] Geordie Affy:
It is mad to think that Motorola have done/said nothing after the announcement of the Style however the only good thing is the fact the shipments and general day to day sales i.e the Moto G 2015 seem to be going as planned without a hitch.

Not long to go before we see what happens lol. But honestly I cant see Lenovo making a mess of this, they are a well respected company also but tbh sometimes companies do make some proper stupid decisions ... Note 5 Not selling in Europe pops to mind hahah.

[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
Hoping that is correct :) The tweet being pulled and the complete darkness after a big launch is not a normal bridge to carry though to product release. a lot of momentum is lost. Whatever the case, Lenovo's timing appears bad.
[X Style (Pure) General] airflyer737:
Motorola Germany just answered a twitter question regarding the release. They expect a release in Germany around the middle of September. So maybe they can hold the 3rd September release in the US :)
[X Style (Pure) General] Geordie Affy:
All I know is that unless your quick your going to be left dissapointed as you're going to have a longer wait. In the UK the Moto X Play is already out of stock it went on sale only a few days ago.

I have a feeling the same will happen with the Style.

Wonder if this is common with Motorola and they run out of stock at launch. I know this was the case with the Nexus 6 but thats always the case with any Nexus LOL.
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
Motorola is very weak in regards to supply chain management and tend to be their own worst enemy. Was hoping Lenovo would help, but appears not to be the case. It is very ironic for a company so weak in supply chain to add the well-intended customer option of case customization.

I posted that the battery COULD be the Achilles Heal for the Moto X Pure, but Motorola supply chain for the critical launch release phase could be as well.
[X Style (Pure) General] Venacephalica:

Nothing's for sure.
[X Style (Pure) General] Geordie Affy:
Can you link where this is please - Thanks.

Yeah it will get released in Europe either on the same day or maybe max 1 or 2 days delay from each country. Cant see it being much more than that.
[X Style (Pure) General] RemnantKing2:
8 days before supposed release date and there hasn't been any new information...what's the deal with that :/

I am expecting at least something by tomorrow.
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
I still think the layoffs are the issue and will result in delays. Lenovo did a poor move doing a mass layoff at the very facility that manages the marketing and supply chain for the products- DURING A LAUNCH. Moto X Play is already out of stock in most markets- likely due to supply chain disruptions until they get realigned due to staff cuts. It only takes a few weeks of lag to disrupt supply.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshhud:
I just noticed the XDA description of the phone has a release date pf September 20th... where did they get that from?

[X Style (Pure) General] Restola:
An historically very accurate source posted on Android Central that the Moto X was delayed about 1.5 weeks after the original release date of 9/2. According to the source the twitter post of 9/3 was an unrelated mistake. Cause of the delay is at least partially caused by the huge port explosion in China.

I don't know what his source is. But he's been very transparent and accurate over the last 2 releases.

Do you mind linking the article please. Thanks in Advance.

[X Style (Pure) General] joshhud:
so went to check out the Moto X website and noticed it said "Available Fall 2015" Well the first day of fall is Wednesday, September 23..... Sept 30th release here we come :crying::eek::(
[X Style (Pure) General] Geordie Affy:
Its said that for a while now.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshhud:
right.. but makes sense doesn't it? Or is Fall in the tech world just September?
[X Style (Pure) General] Geordie Affy:
Well it just says fall, could be anytime in fall. So yeah I wouldnt read too much into it. However really its only extra week from September LOL I say only but I need a badly want a new phone HAHA.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshhud:
My Point is.. fall doesnt start until late September which, if they want to be super specific, would kill the September 3rd date.
[X Style (Pure) General] Geordie Affy:
OH POOP. Sorry I was thinking August (No Idea how when you wrote september twice lol). Blimey is that when it starts, we in the UK dont use Fall or anything like that to describe months.

But yeah I reckon your right. Also lets say it is sept 3rd release ... thats next week so obvs MotoMaker should be live now so people get the orders in innit?

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

All I know is Motorola being very very very HUSH considering tjis is their flagship. Barely seen any adverts or any form of marketing for it - Really odd for a major company.
[X Style (Pure) General] Aridon:
I would think given the lack of news on release that September 3 isn't accurate.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshhud:
I'm thinking the same and I don't like it
[X Style (Pure) General] blitos2:
No news, no cases and accessories... I don't believe we'll see it until the end of September at the latest.
[X Style (Pure) General] geoff5093:
Just look at the positive side. Those who wanted to wait until the next Nexus, now will be less likely to impulse buy the Moto X!
[X Style (Pure) General] Dahenjo:
Can't post links, but see thread "US: Moto X Pure Edition (aka Moto X Style) Available September 3rd [RUMOR]" on the Moto X Style forum at Android Central, starting with post #86 yesterday by happasaiyan (the trusted source) saying it was originally the 2nd (not 3rd) but is now delayed ~10 days.

Supposedly less than a week before release and no proper full review. Did they not send out review units?

Good point! Another reason to believe that its going to be released later in september.

[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
The layoffs probably disrupted the launch schedule of the Pure/Style. Especially for the US. The Play was an international pushed phone and later for Verizon.

Moto though never said Sept 3 beyond a tweet that was pulled within minutes.
[X Style (Pure) General] garyhoggatt:
I was discussing the Moto X Pure with JR Raphael of Computer World on Google+ and he stated he had not yet received a review unit.

You would think there would be some kind of promoting going on even if it is a late September offering. It could be they are in disarray after laying off the employees in Chicago.

Looks like Motorola is going to be in trouble after iPhone news on 9th. The best time to launch would be Sept 2nd. But we will see. Its just few days away now.
[X Style (Pure) General] jswclw:
Motorola should definitely get on with it, but I cannot believe anyone truly interested in a MotoX the would be swayed by anything Apple was going to announce. For me, they would have to start by cutting their prices in half, and that would only put them in the running.
[X Style (Pure) General] rockerrock:
I worked at Apple for three years, owned a Nexus 4 for two of them, got an iPhone 6 my last year - sold the iPhone last week in anticipation of the Moto. I leave country for work next month, let's hope it ships before then!
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
Samsung has relatively the most to lose, since removed key points of differentiation and made a device more similar to the iPhone, but without the Apple iTunes ecosystem.

Motorola has an opportunity here, but I think their lack of channel presence and supply chain proficiency could shoot themselves in the foot, or blow it off entirely. You can't optimize sales opportunities if you can't make enough and place them to sell on time. They have the price, but will they have the placement to sell?

I agree the Pure Style should have been launched NOW and the Moto Play two weeks earlier than was.
[X Style (Pure) General] Spike96:
If you look on the top of the "Playbook" page, it says "August 26, 2015". It's only 4 days old.

Additionally, another user posted on this thread before saying he called his local best buy and he was informed they would have the phone in stock on September 3rd.

We're on track for a September 3rd release, guys.
[X Style (Pure) General] Dahenjo:
Based on the previously reliable source posting today on Android Central, it looks like the 14th:

"3rd was never the day. 2nd was the day, but it's not anymore. Think unlucky numbers to get lucky."

He'd already said it will be about a 10 day delay from the 2nd, and 4/14/24/etc is considered unlucky in Chinese culture, so I'm expecting it on 9/14. Sprint was probably going by the original release date before knowing it was delayed.
[X Style (Pure) General] devsk:
Someone from Bes tBuy at the google+ communities posted this for release date:
[X Style (Pure) General] joshhud:
Still not sure about that best buy source.. I called and they only looked at the website and said no
[X Style (Pure) General] kirdroid:
Don't think iPhone sales or news will affect in anyway the people interested in buying Moto X. The pure editon is not even being sold in carrier stores and its targeting a niche market. Don't expect the pure editon sales to be that great, they are going after the people interested in buying unlocked, unbranded phones which unfortunately is still a minor market. Motorola's main money making phone is the Moto G, E that's where they will concentrate their marketing push I believe.
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
Agreed since Moto's pricing model is intended for people that are paying full price. Moto is actually at an advantage there. Moto would never get people heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem anyway- something that Samsung apparently still does not comprehend. Samsung though could be in trouble from combined fronts:

1. The Apple fall launch

2. A segment of customers not liking the changes to the Note 5 and will move elsewhere (I think this is much higher than some might think) My guess is at least 15% of current Note owners will stay away from the N5.

-Samsung assumes they will gain Apple owners to offset, but few in the Apple ecosystem will bail on their coveted iTunes and lose their apps or media. The device itself is not as crucial as the ecosystem to them.

3. Motorola's price points for a competitive device. Verizon is doing Samsung no favors here, since new contracts do not get subsidized phones and this should help Motorola- IF Moto markets competently.

Again the BIG catch with all of this is Motorola's ability to both market and get product into channels (Amazon & Best Buy) and fill their own inventory. Motorola has yet to prove their competency in this regard and more

the ironic to have all the customization options- that adds complexity and the fulfillment process is gated by cosmetic changes to the device.

I am betting the demand will be relatively high, but Motorola will fail to match the demand in any efficiency or expeditious manner. I only have history to base things on.

Any news when is coming out???
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
Ya, pretty much the whole thread...there's a lot though. Basically Motorola tweeted the 3rd then deleted it. Tech sites took that and ran with it. A guy on AC who's been right on point with these new Moto releases said it was originally the 2nd but now its the 13th. There's also been a Sprint flyer floating around saying the 2nd. A moderator on the Moto X G+ has an in with Best Buy and he said the 3rd-6th. Basically it's a toss up...I'm leaning towards the 13th even though Sunday is a super weird release day.
[X Style (Pure) General] oneandroidnut:
Does release mean in our hands or available to order??? That's a big question. Could be both. Sept 2 or 3 to place order and start to ship the 13th
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
Kinda both I guess. I was under the impression it meant you'd be able to purchase it from all 3 outlets on release day. Order it on Amazon or Moto Maker or just walk in to BB and pick one up.
