I'm still waiting for Lollipop on my Moto X....kspirit - Tuesday, August 18, 2015 - link
Probably shouldn't have bought a carrier controlled device then.dragonsqrrl - Tuesday, August 18, 2015 - link
Many carriers updated the Moto X in a timely manner. Motorola took longer than expected to roll out Lollipop, particularly to the Moto X 2013.tipoo - Saturday, August 22, 2015 - link
Huh, my first gen Moto G has been rocking Android L officially for months. It was on Telus/Koodo, there was a bit of a wait after Motorola released L before the carrier caught on, but not too bad, just a few weeks.HardwareDufus - Monday, August 17, 2015 - link
