I'll never buy one of those again either, subsidized or not. One reason beyond the cost is being at the mercy of the telco for upgrades.

So, unlocked, is this thing jail-breakable/cyanogenmodable or similar?

What's a reasonable expectation for how many years I could keep it security upgraded?



The Motorola blog says that the phone will have an unlockable bootloader (in the U.S) which means you should be able to install custom ROMs.


You don't need to be unlocked any more to install CyanogenMod, for most popular phones. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/CyanogenMod_Installer#Supporte...


I really enjoy my $399 32gb Nexus 5. I couldn't be happier.

But yeah, $600-900... never again.
