Does the Moto X spike your interest?

There’s tons of talks about the Motorola Moto X around blogs and forums. Will it have a locked boatloader?  Verizon won’t have Moto Maker until later this year. The specs aren’t mind blowing. The hands free actions are gimmicky. Its not made in America, but assembled in America (had to put that one in there).  And countless other talks and arguments over this device.

I for one am extremely excited for this phone. This phone isn’t necessarily “assembled” for us Android geeks. Its made for the masses across this planet that love the idea of having a unique phone with a wooden like backing or pink highlights around the phone. The hands free actions would blow a persons mind like my mother, who still thinks Siri is a ton of fun. The average consumer has no frigging idea what the hell a boatloader is and they couldn’t care less. I know the word “made” in America is the wrong terminology, but that term gets thrown around and it does fire us Americans up hearing “Made in America”.

Mark my words!  This phone is going to sell like hot cakes. Google has a ton of dough they’re going to not only put behind this product, but also advertise the hell out of it (500 mill to be exact).  You will see young girls carrying a hot pink Moto X, business men and women with that fancy wooden backing and all of them saying “OK Google play with me”.  99% of the future owners don’t give a crap about locked bootloaders, kernels, ROMs, or even CyanogenMod (not sure how anyone wouldn’t care about CM).  These sales reps at the major carriers are going to be selling the hell out of this phone, and it will start with a shake of the phone to launch the camera. BTW…  Can’t wait to see how many insurance claims get used from that action.  The Nintendo Wii totaled a bunch of flat screen TVs, let’s see what the wrist flick camera launch can break (trolol).

August 23rd this phone will be available and mid September you’re going to see a crap ton of people with funky colored phones and they’ll all be shaking it and saying “OK Google”.  When it comes to Verizon I’ll be one of those people.
