At least in Canada it remains incredibly difficult to get the G or X without a plan or contract. I can't help wonder what exactly it is that makes Motorola so resistant to direct selling in the frozen north.
The single greatest thing about the Nexus 5 is how easy it is to buy the handset with absolutely no consideration about the carrier at all, and it's sad that Motorola haven't learned this from greater Google before going off to Lenovo.
Doubly sad, as the products deserve a lot more attention. I do wonder if they're concerned about them being good enough to cannibalise vast swathes of the market.

- w1ntermute 13y agoIt just doesn't make sense to target a developed nation with high smartphone penetration that has a population of only 35 million. Moto's aiming to sell the G and E to price-sensitive first-time smartphone buyers in developing nations, probably with the plan that by building a brand now, those customers will buy higher end Moto smartphones as they gain wealth.
