      DAN13L, 30 Jan 2014Wow!! I use to love Motorola. Now I'm disliking Google for ... moreas tribute to your love for motorola, please stay away from Samsung. their ideals are equal or worse than Lenovo. at least when Lenovo started making smartphones, their design didn't look like some rip-off iPhone. at least, they had that honor

                AnonD-227199, 30 Jan 2014Does it mean owners of Moto X n G just got f****d up..... H... moreGreat idea, but maybe thats why they are losing money, why is it a good idea to not change? Stock Android and this stuff is good for enthusiasts and geeks like us but for the general public its of no concern, they couldnt tell the difference in any case.

                Radical changes is whats needed, Google has added bad stuff to an already bad brand, the new models strongly focus on Googles ideals, the most notable being no card slots, things that need to be wiped from their record if they are to rise again.

                  Google suffered at the hands of the phenomenon it help create, cheap Android devices / uselessly high specs. But they have developed Motorola, removed lot of flaws with it, now I'm sure it will be quite useful to Lenovo to get market share in US and Europe.

                    Does it mean owners of Moto X n G just got f****d up..... Have used Lenovo phones and they really suck hope they will not mess with the UI of MOTOs and use stock Android onwards...

                            Seriously you people are jumping to conclusions already??? I hope Lenovo prove all you haters wrong and succeed.

                            To the people who say they are some cheap crap quality Chinese brand, well I reckon they make quality built laptops.

                              Wow!! I use to love Motorola. Now I'm disliking Google for ruining my favorite cellphone brand. I would have rather had Motorola die off than being sold to Lenovo. I guess Samsung will be my number one now.

                                great google were clueless and not so seriously focus or driven on what to do with Motorola mobility-Motorola G is the only praise worthy move by google after their fews years of acquisition.

                                      Lenovo does have an ugly UI but don't you think it is meant for China where Google services are not allowed? Lenovo will obviously keep stock Android for Motorola and it will get updates like always.
