I do too, but not from Motorola, bcs Samsung sold to them crappy version of AMOLED

At Motorola's launch event for the new Moto X and Moto G this week, I posed the questions to Jim Wicks, the company's senior vice president of consumer experience design. (I posed them indirectly -- via Computerworld's reviews editor, Barbara Krasnoff, who was on site and part of a roundtable discussion with Wicks and another Moto VP.)

Wicks says the delay in getting Lollipop to the first-gen Moto X was primarily the result of "chipset support" -- or rather, lack thereof. That phone, as you may recall, used a custom "X8 Mobile Computing System" that allowed it to provide always-listening functionality before most mainstream processors supported that kind of resource-intensive task.

Evidently, that system -- which bundled together a customized Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor with two additional digital signal processors -- presented problems when it came to playing well with Lollipop. Manufacturers typically rely on individual component-makers to sort out such issues when new Android releases come along. And from the sounds of it, someone involved with the chipset wasn't being so helpful.

The other factor Wicks cites in the phone's poky upgrade progress is the fact that the initial Android 5.0 Lollipop release "had a lot of problems" -- something anyone who used that software can attest to. That, Wick says, is why Motorola ultimately decided to skip 5.0 altogether and jump directly to 5.1 for the first-gen Moto X's upgrade.

As for the elephant in the room, Wicks says the delay had nothing to do with Motorola's altered relationship with Google -- that is, the fact that the company was owned by Google in 2013, when it thrived at timely upgrades, and by Lenovo in 2014, when things didn't go nearly as well.

Wicks says Moto is "lining up support" already to work toward that goal -- both from Google and from the company's various chipset suppliers. He also notes that the new third-generation Moto X is being sold exclusively on an unlocked basis and without any carrier involvement, which will eliminate the added variable of carrier approval that can often slow upgrades down. He concedes that these things are "hard to predict" because "there are so many dependencies" but seems optimistic that Motorola is doing all it can to deliver.

Guys, how much memory left needed in order to be able to d/l or install Duet and Help? I have 1.5GB, still not able to d/l or install. Demmit

you're using Moto X?

Boss, you use up your 64GB that fast? 😨😨

Yeah, while waiting for Moto X Pure Edition
No lah, mine is just 16GB But it's ok lar, just for 2 months use. I bought it cheap anyway. $205 only, with bamboo back. New some more

BTW, have you installed Duet and Help? I was waiting for Duet ever since it was first released, which was back in Nov last year, but couldn't install it on my Droid Maxx. It turned out that it was only compatible with Moto X 2nd Gen. Now already have it, error pulak. Sigh

Thinking of getting this phone now,, or should i wait for new moto x style,, need to replace my old htc ASAP,, my mind keep telling me to get nexus 6 but my wallet prefer the 2014 moto x
This moto x OS is nearly stock android also right?
