Moto X Officially Drops To $99.99 On Contract On AT&T's Moto Maker ($149.99 For 32GB Version), Sprint, And US Cellular

If you thought that the Moto X was too expensive at $199 for an on-contract phone, you're in a vocal majority. After a couple of months on the market, Motorola would seem to agree. The Moto Maker customization site was updated with the banner below this morning, dropping the price for the customized AT&T model down to just $99.99 for the 16GB version. The AT&T-exclusive 32GB model is also cheaper at $149.99.

Sprint and US Cellular have also dropped their prices, and the latter is still offering a $75 credit if you open a new line and port in your phone number, bringing the final cost down to a very attractive $24.99. Verizon's website still lists the Moto X at $199.99, so it's not yet clear if Verizon intends to lower its price or if they're going to keep the X high. Considering that they've got exclusive and very similar DROID phones to sell, it could go either way. Still, if you're hunting for deals, Amazon and Best Buy have the Verizon Moto X for $99.99 already, and Amazon is selling the Sprint model for just $79.99. Strangely, ready-to-ship Moto X on AT&T's website is still $199.99.
Mobile Nostradamus EVleaks correctly predicted this price drop way back in August. Based on the Moto Maker site and the carrier portals, the off-contract price on the Moto X is remaining regrettably high. There's also no sign of the Moto Maker customization option losing its AT&T exclusivity any time soon. Even so, I'd expect to see even deeper discounts as the holiday season approaches, and of course we'll be sure to alert you to any deals.

Sprint already offers 4G LTE in such major cities as Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. With today’s announcement, Sprint now provides LTE service in 230 markets across the country, including New York City, providing one more reason for first responders, public safety officials, consumers and business people in the most competitive market in the world to choose Sprint.

“Today’s announcement means that we are continuing our nationwide network enhancements, tower by tower, to provide even more Sprint customers the speed and power of Sprint 4G LTE,” said Bob Azzi, senior vice president-Network, Sprint. “Our advanced equipment on the new 3G and 4G LTE network provides service you can count on with faster download speeds and also provides state-of-the-art, compact and energy-efficient multimodal equipment.” Sprint was named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) North America for the fourth consecutive year and was the first U.S. telecommunications company to commit to reducing its greenhouse emissions 20 percent by 2017.

Sprint customer service earns top awards

Additionally, Sprint has greatly improved the customer experience during the past several years. According to the 2013 American Customer Satisfaction Index, Sprint is the most improved company in customer satisfaction, across all 47 industries measured, during the last five years. According to the Reputation Institute, Sprint is the only U.S. telecommunications company whose reputation improved from 2012 to 2013, with scores trending upward across each of the seven reputation dimensions measured.

When you combine Sprint’s top-notch customer service with one of Sprint’s powerful 4G LTE devices – such as the popular Samsung Galaxy S® 4 and Samsung Galaxy Note® 3 or the Moto X™ – it’s easy to see that Sprint is the best choice in wireless. And now, with the Sprint Unlimited Guarantee, customers on an Unlimited, My WaySM or My All-inSM plan are guaranteed unlimited talk (calls to any wireline or mobile phone), text and data while on the Sprint network, for the life of the line of service. i

Tri-band smartphones arrive Nov. 8

fan_677
Sprint’s first tri-band smartphones arrive Nov. 8, bringing to life the promise of Sprint Spark.
Sprint Spark leverages one of the most advanced networks on the market, but it’s the tri-band devices that truly bring it to life.
In addition to the two smartphones coming Nov. 8, select smartphones also will be upgraded to Sprint Spark via an over-the-air update in the coming months. Select hotspots are Sprint Spark-capable today.
Tri-band devices are engineered from the inside out to deliver a flawless data experience. A Sprint Spark-capable device intelligently determines which available band of LTE is needed for a given activity, and joins that band. This all happens in an instant, but the result is a faster, more reliable network while in Sprint Spark coverage.

Android 4.3 And Galaxy Gear Update For Sprint's Galaxy S4 Is Ready, Right On Schedule [Update]

Verizon got it first (for once), but now it's time for Samsung Galaxy S4 owners on Sprint to get their Android 4.3 update on. The over-the-air download should be disseminating today, though we've yet to see confirmation from Sprint itself. Assuming that it is indeed going out, the update comes right on schedule, according to a leaked Samsung document.
sprints4update
In addition to the standard Android 4.3 features, the OTA download (L720VPUAMJA) delivers compatibility with the Galaxy Gear smartwatch and Samsung's Knox encryption system. If there are any other significant changes to the software Samsung isn't saying, but you can expect tweaks to various TouchWiz apps and settings. There's no word on the download size, either.
If you don't see the update, keep in mind that carriers tend to send these things out in waves. It may be a day or two before the new software reaches your phone... and then another couple of days for it to download on Sprint's network.
Update: Yup, looks like the update is already going out for at least some Sprint users. it's a whopping 537MB download, so head for the nearest WiFi hotspot if you can. Thanks to commenterfirecar25 for the screenshot.

The update is rather large at 537MB, so be sure you’re on a Wi-Fi network before downloading (unless you’re on an unlimited mobile data plan, in which case you have nothing to worry about). As always, the rollout is gradual so you might not see a notification for the update immediately, though you can keep checking regularly from the Settings » About phone » Software update menu.
