That's £200 cheaper than Moto are selling it for and £150 cheaper than Tesco. This is hotter than a hot cross bun that has been dropped in a volcano. Cheers.

There is a simple solution for this.
Once upgraded to latest Marsmallow (Android 6.0) do this: Power down the phone
Once powered down
Press volume down and power button (at the same time) until you see android logo and full phone spec.
press volume down to select "Recovery Mode" then confirm by pressing power button
Motorola logo will show up, than android logo with text "no command"
now pres at the same time volume up and power button - if nothing happens try it again until you see "Android Recovery" with couple of options.
Press volume down 4x times to select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset"
confirm by pressing power button.
Press volume down twice to select "userdata+ personalized content"
confirm by power button.
Once done
Repeat procedure but this time select "Wipe Cache partition"
Power up your phone, set it up, run all of the updates from play store etc
New / reset android phones do some stuff in background for first couple of hours so it could be still laggy for a while.
After a while you can enjoy lag free super fast phone. - tested myself just now on Moto X Force from CPW.
Solution works on most of the android phones - not just this one.
Obviously... this will delete all of the personal data and settings and will leave yours phone in the "out of the box" condition.
.
One more thing that speed up android phones
Go to:Settings >About Phone
Scroll down
Click 5-7 times
Go back and you will see just activated "Developer Options"
Click on it and find: Window Animation Scale
Transition Animation Scale
Animation Duration Scale
Change all of them to "Animation off"
As you may thought this just turns off "nice" animations - while opening, closing app etc.
But speeds up opening time so the phone is much more responsive.

Couple of pics of the brotect applied to my moto x force. They really are very good. I popped out the cut-outs for the sensors, microphone and speakers (you can bend the glass to raise the edge and put a small blade under to pop them out.
I always fit mine in a cold kitchen, lay some sheets of kitchen paper on the table and then spray them with water/dettox to keep any dust in the area trapped, alcohol wipe the screen and wipe with dry screen cloth.
To align it I use the hinge method - two sticky tabs on the back of the phone that then flap over and stick to the screen protector when it is perfectly aligned.
fold the protector away from the screen a quick final clean and blast with air can (£1 in poundland :wink: )
Peel the backing from the protector and then flip onto the screen - perfectly aligned and dust free (hopefully!)
Then remove the alignment tabs and push out the last few bubbles.
Perfect. Very satisfying :smile:

Great price. Display is shatterproof.

For £300 this looks an insanely good phone on paper, you could buy something better from China, but they typically have quirks.. (My siswoo is stuck on android 4) ... I'd love to know if there's a reason its that cheap...

I've been considering this for ages, had to take a punt on this at this price. £450-500 everywhere else.

I'm in the same boat. Got my Style 2 weeks ago...
It's a perfect phone but hate the battery life tbh.

I just bought an X style too (got mine for £299 though! :smirk:) unless you really need the shatter proof screen they are pretty similar and the style has a bigger screen so i'm still happy with the style!

Good deal if your after that particular handset but if its anything like the moto x gen 2 you could struggle to get a day from the battery.

Opening post
Not sure if John Lewis will price match, but worth a shot.
