This is my fourth purchase of a Motorola smart phone and the Moto E didn't disappoint. The screen is highly legible, start-up is reasonably fast and it does everything I need. Don't hesitate if you are considering this product and can get it on sale.

I needed a speaker this size for a specific space and had just about given up when I discovered the Fugoo. The sound is wonderful. Voices are clear and the base full without being boomy. The bluetooth connectivity works well and provides status updates via voice message. You will also be impressed with the battery life. Give this speaker serious consideration before buying something else.

Pros: * Really nice picture - Triluminos is a winner
* Surprisingly decent sound but will probably add external
speakers
* Very accurate voice search
* 4K upscaling
Cons: * Android apps are very limited compared to previous Sony
provided selection
* Google voice search profoundly (severely) limits shown results
* Only voice search available - NO genuine web browser or
search capability - Ugh! For a supposedly smart TV, it performs
more like an imbecile.
* The clock still doesn't work on the TV information screen (when
changing channels) after informing Sony seven weeks ago.
When will this be fixed?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Do I have to use the $45.00 plan?

I currently use the 35.00 plan and do not have a smartphone. If I upgrade do I have to pay more for my plan?
Smart phones provide POTS, Plain Old Telephone Service, as well as all the fun things that endear themselves to so many users. No, it is not necessary to upgrade Verizon service to use the Moto e phone. You will be able to use it as a regular phone and can still enjoy the smart phone features, but NOT text, when you have WiFi access.

If you want to text and use apps when not in a WiFi zone, then a plan must be purchased that supports these functions. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

P.S. You could consider using another carrier...

How can you remove the divider in the freezer

I don't choose to use the icemaker and would like to have the top freezer basket more open.
Yes, the dividers can be removed. The plastic clip in the very back of the basket sits over the rim. Pry this slightly apart and lift up to release the dividers.

Is this tv available in a 27 inch size?
As of 12-5-15, there are no 27 inch 4K televisions available.

There are a number of 4K computer monitors available now that could be used with an external tuner box. Alternatively, a tuner card in a computer would also allow you to process TV signals.

Stand

Hello joed32, thank you for your message. In regards to your question, the Dimensions (Approx.) with stand are: 1,236 × 759 × 222 mm / 48 3/4 × 30 × 8 3/4 inches and without stand are: XBR-55X850C: 1,236 × 722 × 60 mm / 48 3/4 × 28 1/2 × 2 3/8 inches. For more information, check the operating instructions:

There are a lot of numbers there but which one is the width if the stand?
The link doesn't seem to work.
OK, I just measured and the television STAND is 25 inches wide at the widest point (side to side) and is nine inches deep (front to back.)

HDR

Is this tv firm ware be able to upgrade to the new hdr standard
From the things I have read, the XBR55850C is NOT an HDR ready television. I knew this before I purchased and will upgrade down the road when more of the future specifications (8K, fully implemented HDR, etc.) are readily available.

55X850C wall mount screw size

I'm trying to wall mount my new 55X850C and see it doesn't come with screws, any idea what size I need?
I don't know the exact size but these are certainly metric screw holes. Put a piece of paper over one of the screw holes and use a sharp pencil to punch a hole in the paper. Push the pencil all the way down to set the diameter of the screw. Now use a pin to determine the depth of the hole. Go to the happy, local hardware store and match up the width and lengths you now have determined. If in doubt, buy several different sizes and lengths and give them a test fit at home.

Don't forget to add some length on the screws to accommodate the thickness of your television mount!

Can the stand height be extended up vertically

Depending on how much work you want to do and how much you want to pay, anything is possible. If all you need is a modest height increase of a half inch or so, then remove the stand and drill and tap new holes in the vertical bars that insert into the television.

Please note that increasing the height of the television by modifying the factory stand will exacerbate an already unstable situation with this TV!

A much better solution and one that I will implement is simply making a wooden box to elevate the set to the desired height. This need not be fancy and can be assembled with as few as three boards. Just make sure the horizontal piece rests on the two verticals for gravity defying support. Additional box bracing is recommended for elevation increases above four inches!
