Moto X 2nd Gen $698 @ Harvey Norman

31

Only place I could find that isn't a grey importer. Expansys have it for $744 here http://www.expansys.com.au/motorola-moto-x-2nd-gen-unlocked-… So I guess it's a pretty good price for local stock.

    This isn't a deal.

    • It's cheaper than somewhere else, not sure what the issue is.

    • Find it cheaper local then.

      • +3

        Because nobody else selling it locally suddenly makes it a bargain? Righto. You can get imported ones from Handtec or Clove for less. I just don't see how this is a bargain if it's at retail price.

          You can get it direct from Motorola (probably need to use a forwarder though) for $359 on Monday:

          Edit: Might have AT&T LTE bands (700/850/1700/1900/2100) though which could be an issue if you plan to use 4G.
          Edit2: Looks like it has LTE 800/1800/2600MHz (B20/B3/B7) so might be OK after all.

        • @dazweeja That works for us Aussies?

        • @ippy:

          Should work on 3G (HSDPA 850/900/1900/2100). LTE will probably work too as it looks like it supports 1800 and 2600MHz which are the main frequencies used by Optus and Telstra in Australia. Would be worth confirming.

          @dazweeja:
          This unfortunately doesn't work. I tried this and my order got cancelled.

        • @Miniml:

          Obviously you might get flagged for your credit card or your forwarding address but others might have success with different combinations (AmEx credit cards and lesser-known forwarders - AusPost ShopMate? - can sometimes work in these cases).

        • @dazweeja:

          This is the exact combination I tried :) amex with shopmate. Received an email that there was a problem with my order and that I needed to call them to rectify, tho in the meantime the order is on hold.

  • I cannot understand how they set the price of moto x. Why would people buy it at that price? Instead of go for Samsung or Sony?

    • ? It's a high end device, with competing high end specs. It's actually a great price I think. To be honest, I would choose this over a Samsung and Sony.

    • I'd say its a much better choice than samsung, and in comparison to a sony Z3, I'd have to think very hard which one to take.

    if i want to pay that much i will definitely choose Nexus 6 at moment it is best android with all latest specs in hood if size doesn't matter for you guys

    • +1

      but a nexus 6 costs almost $200 more and the specs are almost identical.

      • Nexus got a bigger screen 6"

        If one can spend 700 i dont mind paying 200 extra on top with unbeatable specs Moto x 2nd gen specs
        snapdragon 801 processor
        full hd display
        2gb ram
        2300mah battery

        Nexus 6 specs

      • There is actually nothing common between the two phones. The Nexus 6 is a significant upgrade well worth of an extra $200.

  • It's only 16GB with no SD slot. This is a definite pass.

    Don't even know why Moto bothered.

  • How about Xiaomi Mi 3 if you dont need 4G, is it half the price $268 USD

  • Rather get Huawei Mate7 from local JB HIFI and Harvey Norman for around $600 - $630.
    Awesome phone I have to say, good bang for the bucks.
