I have no idea if the Moto X is proving to be successful for Motorola, but an early sign that it isn't is the fact the prices are already dropping at the carrier level. Right now you can grab the phone on contract for $99 or under $500 off contract. Now Motorola has dropped the price of the Developer Edition by $100 bringing the price down to $549.99. I know a lot of people are down on the specs, but trust me, the Moto X is one of the best phones of the year.

The Developer Edition has an unlockable bootloader so you can tinker till your heart's content. They offer a GSM or a Verizon version. The GSM version is compatible with either AT&T or T-Mobile. I should also point out that both models come with 32GB of storage. We have both phones linked below.

His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.

@evleaks stated early on that there would be a price drop in the 4th quarter. I’m sure sales aren’t that great but the price drop was expected and shouldn’t catch anyone by surprise.
