Thirumalesh: Welcome to Motorola support, How may I assist you today?
Vineet: Hi Thirumalesh.
Thirumalesh: Hello.
Thirumalesh: How may I help you?
Vineet: I was asking "Eric" the one whom I was connected to before I was redirected here about the update to Lollipop for my 1st gen Moto X.
Vineet: Can I expect the update to Lollipop (Android 5.0) before year ends?
Thirumalesh: "Motorola is excited that Google has released the Android 5.0 ("Lollipop") software for mobile phones. Motorola Mobility is now working hard to create Lollipop builds for our eligible devices globally. (Visit Motorola Support - Find Answers | Motorola Mobility, Inc. to see if your phone will receive Lollipop.) It takes time to develop and test the software, but the team is working to deliver quality Lollipop builds as fast as possible."
Vineet: Well, so is there no tentative time by which we can expect an update?
Vineet: (Any inside info, please?)
Thirumalesh: As of now we don't have any official information about exact date , We will be happy to update you once it is Officially Released .
Vineet: I was very excited while purchasing Moto X, and think this gadget is revolutionary, I think Motorola owe atleast a little support for us!
Thirumalesh: I understood your concern .Soon we will announce it officially, kindly wait for official announcement.
Thirumalesh: Are we connected?
Vineet: Well, thanks for the information, although it didn't help much.
Vineet: Waiting impatiently for the update. I hope Motorola answers soon.
Thirumalesh: Sure sir.
Thirumalesh: We are always looking to improve our customer support, so you may receive a survey after this chat. We appreciate any feedback you can provide. Thanks for choosing Motorola.
Vineet: Please do me a favor and send this message to Motorola's developer team that Moto X fans are not asking for the update ASAP, all we ask is to atleast give us a 'tentative' date by which we can expect the taste of Lollipop.
Vineet: Thanks.
Vineet: Bye.
Thirumalesh: You are most welcome.
Thirumalesh: Thank you for contacting Motorola. Have a great day.
