Hi,

No Blur, but you will see things like Moto Assist which I don't use.  I have
the Moto G and no Blur in sight.

All the best

Steve

Subject: [vi-android] A few questions about my soon to be, Moto X.

So, I have a few questions.  None of them really are big deals, but I just 
am curious.

First of all, I'm told this phone is gonna come preloaded with KitKat.  This

does mean when I first turn it on the first time, I should be able to get 
Talkback up and going with my two finger hold, right?  I'm pretty sure that 
won't be an issue, but I just wanna be sure I'm correctly understanding that

it'll work the same way it did on my Nexus 7 2013 tablet as far as that 
goes.

Nextly, does anyone know if this handset is running Moto Blur or any overlay

crap?  I've heard mixed answers on this.  I've heard some say no, it's not 
running blur, but it is running a skin overlay, although it shouldn't get in

the way of accessibility.  Yet, I've heard others say, it does have some 
features not found in other handsets, however, as for the OS itself, it's 
stock Android.  I know I've heard of blind people using the Moto X, and 
absolutely loving it, so I don't think it'll be an issue, as I said.  I'm 
just wanting to check.

Nextly, does this phone have a micro SD card slot?  The AT&T rep I spoke 
with said she wasn't completely sure, and the info she had wasn't exactly 
very clear on this.  she said she didn't think it did, it was just the 
internal 16 gigs, and that was it.

I think the only real other question I have for now is, I'm not a big fan of

the phone always listenning to me waiting to hear me say:  "OK google Now!" 
So, if I don't want to invoke GN by voice activation, can the always listen 
feature which is implemented on the Moto X be shut off?  If not, that'll be 
a major dealbreaker.  Granted, that will be about the only dealbreaker at 
this time that I really can see.
