No warranty if you unlock it. No thanks. You have to buy a 3rd party warranty
I'd rather pay a dev $50 for a Safestrap; I have no carrier logo or bloatware on mine and its not some ugly two tone.

Yes you can order the T Mobile model.
I don't see why people don't like the 2 tone. I like it a lot.

From what I understand it is. I think they should have just sold it unlocked with warranty and Motomaker option. Seriously, almost Stock Android with useful extra features, color options, fully unlocked, and a version for every service provider? Moto could have more people ditching iOS and Touchwiz by doing that.

Maybe ugly was the wrong word, I've seen ugly phones (brown Galaxy decives) The two tone just doesn't sit well with some, like myself. There should just be options like custom ordered cars.

correct me if i'm wrong but there's ebay seller sell xt1058 unlocked and they said it's factory unlocked , no carrier logo and bloatware and work for any gsm network with minimum 3g or HSPA network, is that true ?
I've seen them but from reading the description all I can gather is sim unlocked which is easy if you buy the phone outright. Another thing I dont think Canadian carriers put logos on their devices either, I could be wrong.

Hi All,
I understand the differences between the Moto X sold by VZW and the Dev Edition in that the latter has an unlockable bootloader and more storage space but I have a few more in-depth questions about the device. I've called and asked Moto, but sadly I trust you guys to give me more accurate answers.
1. Will Android updated come directly from Motorola or will they have to pass through Big Red first?
2. Will VZW bloatware be on the DevEd?
3. Ay other interesting differences between the devices?
I don't really have any interest in rooting my device (tried to get some custom firmware on my PSP100 back in the day and bricked it), and want to (feel forced to) buy a phone on full retail to keep my UL data with promo pricing. Would this be my best choice? Thanks in advance for the help.
1. Will Android updated come directly from Motorola or will they have to pass through Big Red first?
I think future Android OS updates will more than likely be made available OTA by Verizon, unfortunately, despite it being a developer device. I've not heard nor read anything otherwise.
2. Will VZW bloatware be on the DevEd?
Not sure about this question, but I wouldn't be surprised if I saw bloatware.
3. Ay other interesting differences between the devices?
Other than the obvious unlockable bootloader, color scheme, higher storage capacity, there's nothing else that I know of to differentiate the developer edition from the regular consumer edition.

Can you confirm the absence (or presence, hopefully not) of Verizon bloat? If I'm paying 650 for a phone I don't have any interest in tinkering with, I'd like to not have to worry about useless apps sucking up the system resources.
Also, on a slightly unrelated note, I've noticed that the Verizon demo units are a little sluggish compared to the ATT demos. I'm assuming it's either a fluke or the demo app VZW loaded on it. Can any Verizon users confirm the phone is just as fast as the others?
just root and then freeze or delete the bloatware with titanium backup

I don't think we'll know for sure if Verizon apps come pre-installed until someone actually receives their dev edition unit and lets us know. I personally wouldn't have wanted to deal with bloatware either, but since this model in particular does have an unlockable bootloader, rooting and removing these apps shouldn't be too much of a problem.

You don't even have to do that. Just go into Apps and disable it. It disappears from the app drawer.

Are you finally allowed to do so even with bloatware apps? I think I vaguely recall not being able to accomplish this with certain Verizon apps on my Galaxy Nexus.

You can only do that for 16gb but not 32 as of now
I know MotoMaker goes live for Verizon on Friday. Maybe T-Mobile sometime soon.
the pure version is the tmobile. it sounds like they are still out of the 32g. try a white face with 32gb option. and then go back to black. that was working a few days ago. to answer the question... there was no exclusive for at&t at all. the tmo/pure edition was available from the start and verizon is always the last to get their version in, it is cdma.
A little of topic but I wanted to pick up a screen protector today and Verizon said the phone doesn't exist, AT&T (my service provider) said they don't carry it. Best Buy was like "what?" and Radio Shack said they only have accessories for newer phones. I don't think there's an exclusion on it.

You could get 32 last week. They are sold out for now... must be too popular. As with the first-gen X, there is no T-mo specific model, jsust unlocked (why would you want anything else?). I'm holding out a few weeks - hopefully news of the new Nexus will give me another option.
still no luck as of today, I guess it's just out of stock for now.
Stopped by AT&T store today to check out the actual phone and they said they are not getting it in yet either. Wonder how long this thing get hold off from the market
The Verizon model goes on sale at motomaker tomorrow, so go hog wild!

As of today you can now order the Moto X (2014) Pure edition with 32Gb of storage.

It seems a bunch of Tasker commands are not working in Lollipop and I really need to get them working on a Nexus 6. It's a phone for a blind person and I need to be able do things like allow them to touch the screen anywhere to answer, wave their hand over the phone to answer, answer by voice command, etc... but that seems impossible on 5.0+

nexus 6 was released with lollipop. so, officially, no. i know for a fact that the nexus 6 was tested with kitkat, but those builds havent gotten out(code i mean).
Dang. Not good news. Is the only other phone that can use "Ok Google" with screen turned off and the phone not charging the Moto X?
I'm sure there are pre-5.0 roms for the Moto X so I might have to get rid of the Nexus and go that route. I hope the Verizon version isn't all locked down like most VZW phones.

Droid Turbo (verizon) or Moto Maxx (south america) are 4.4 devices, essentially the same as Nexus 6, just 0.8 inches smaller.

With an entirely different board, kernel and drivers. It is not going to be as simple as flashing a rom from them if the idea comes to mind.

It is.
All Verizon phones are very much locked down sans for the N6 or the occasional dev edition device.

Flashing stuff for Nexus 6 won't do any good if the intention is to stick with 4.4.
Also, just because the board is physically a different shape does not mean that it is *WIRED* particularly differently. It is mostly EXACTLY the same.

You can't fix it, but have to replace it. Worse, that part is likely custom made for the N6 and unlikely to be found in the wild. You'd have to look for a broken N6 and pull the speaker from it.

I would think you could use the phone with only the top speaker, I think the bottom one is only used for media playback.

I bought an unlocked Note 8 last year and it was definitely missing some T-Mobile frequencies that the T-Mobile version comes with. I also had worse reception with the unlock one compared to the T-Mobile variant.
