So, the assembled in US Moto-X Cellphone is on sale at Amazon for $0.01

If anyone happens to be out of contract, they have it listed at this price for Verizon and Sprint for new two year, two year renewal or renewal of one of the phones on a family plan (If you upgrade at different times).

I ordered mine about 10 minutes ago (Upgrading from the Galaxy S2). It might not be a marketplace leader like the Galaxy S4 or the iPhone, but it has some decent unique perks (Flip to camera, active windows, etc) and, yes, I'm one of those people who had the assembled in the US aspect push me to making the new two year commitment.

Figured I would leave this here for anyone who was going to be phone shopping this holiday weekend.

on edit: changed made to assembled

second edit: link to Amazon's Moto X search page http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=moto%20x

Good to read this! It's a good start (Assembly) but for freight control purposes (where it leaves their DC) its made in the USA. We've got to start somewhere!

Besides, most places I know will still do a decent trade in value on the standard Moto-X colors sold through channels other than MotoMaker. I went with white.

worse phones we ever had. she bought the new iphone and i bought the new lg.

we used to have moto`s and they were tanks but the later gens were not good. maybe moto will regain their market.

And one that traded their galaxy in for an iPhone. Just goes to show no one product will be loved by all. My next phone will be a note 3 for sure.
