Has there been any indication or hint of when this will happen? Other than the vague Q4 tweet from EvLeaks?
I was told by a Verizon store worker November.
Coming from an inside source, it's November 8. That's when the AT&T exclusivity ends.

72 days? that is a weird "exclusive" duration, why not 60 or 90 days, silly AT&T.
I was watching a video (engage I think) and they mentioned November also. Hopefully it is true, just in time for the holiday sales

Hmmm, well assuming that was true, i wonder how quickly Big Red will offer it after the 8th? Hopefully EXTREMELY quickly.... I really need a new phone. :|
The wood backs and the custom engraving will be going live at that time as well, barring any unforeseen issues. They're actually already ready with the wood backs, but are taking their time to get it right so that when the floodgates open in November, they don't run into any issues. Verizon and Sprint are locked in for immediate MotoMaker availability. With the T-Mobile variant, since its the true unbranded & unlocked Moto X, Motorola will just be offering it as an option during the MotoMaker checkout.

Yes, the 32gb is going to open up to all carriers at that time as well. Nothing to hold back come November.

Awesome! Thanks for the info...Will definitely be holding out until November. Well worth the wait. Now the only other question is will the price drop (rumored of course) coincide with that. I won't hold my breath...haha

SO yes...
What are we looking at for a release date and MotoMaker on Sprint? I am on Sprint and am PUMPED about this phone
Copying and pasting the same thing I wrote about Tmo in a different thread, except it applies to Sprint as well.
All black and white will be available for Tmo on Aug 23. $199 on contract, but off contract pricing still unknown. Motomaker for Tmo in November.
Play store version sometime before the end of the year. No clear details on timing or pricing, except that it could be around $350-$400 range.

I ordered off contract. Will try to get an unlock code from Att and continue using with Tmo. Simply costs way too much in the long run to sign a contract with any other carrier than Tmo.

How much is it off contract and how do I get one in my hands (Moto Maker prefered) Thanks for your help!
I feel like a TOTAL noob. I have NEVER bought a device at (Or before?) launch... I like to see the OEM's Quality Control at work first (the general public XD) I just have to get the MX though!

$579 for 16gb. Just wait until this Friday and go to motomaker.com to order. Simple as that.

Subscribing for Sprint info...

I was just in a Sprint store and asked the manager when the Moto X would be released. He said it has already been released in limited quantities, there just isn't a known in-store date yet. He also mentioned a $99 and $149 on-contract price and $500 retail price.

Just wondering if anyone has seen the Moto X in an AT&T store yet? Just curious if the display is out yet or not.

I've been calling every AT&T store in my area for the past week, none of them will have the X on display until tomorrow. Another tidbit of info- apparently only the 16gb version will be available in store at launch, with the 32gb being online only. Kind of a bummer, was really hoping to get my hands on one tomorrow. Gonna have to order it now.

16GB = $579
32GB = $630
32GB is only available through motomaker customization. In-store only the 16GB Black and White units will be available. If you would like to customize, you can walk into an AT&T store and get a SKU card, pay for the phone in full, go online on motomaker and checkout with your customized phone at no extra charge. It will arrive in 4 days.

Thats right, but that ability will not be available starting tomorrow. I have been told by a motorola source that AT&T wants people to come inside the stores and experience the motoX, and as a result, will only give out the customization ability via a SKU card, which you can purchase for the price of the phone ($199/249 or $579/630, whichever method you'd like) and then go on to motomaker.com
However, it wouldn't surprise me if motomaker.com started accepting orders tomorrow without the need for a SKU card. Will just have to wait it out and see.

Yes I know exactly how it's going to work. I was hoping to get a look in store today, before the phone goes on sale. So that I can just order online whenever convenient. But no AT&T store has it on display yet. No biggiee.

i keep hearing over and over that motomaker.com will be up tomorrow (for AT&T only though). so, if you buy a phone through motomaker, it's only going to work on AT&T. but like you said, we'll see tomorrow...
I pre-ordered my note 3 from Best Buy, and originally they had an arrival date of october 1st. Today on the website, that date has changed to September 27th.
I'm honestly hoping Best Buy might be accidentally showing an early shipping/arrival date!
Thoughts?
i see. that is odd. nothing for verizon. hoping they are moving it up too!!

Bwahahahaha.
That could also mean AT&T's shipping their pre-orders earlier than the 10/1 date stated. BB is just an agent for the various wireless carriers and serves at their pleasure. I'd find it odd AT&T would allow a third-party to sell a highly anticipated new device before they themselves offered it. The carriers and third-party resellers are frenemies; all the carriers pay them handsome commissions upfront on the value of the two-year deal (device and voice/data plan) and would always rather avoid that pay-out by doing as many customer-direct deals as possible. I've followed BB's pre-order handling of some in-demand devices and it's been a cluster-f because what's in their system doesn't necessarily reflect what's actually happening. We'll know soon enough and best of luck to all no matter what channel they’re ordering from.
Just checked my AT&T preorder and it still says 10/1-10/2:crying:

Ordered mine on 9/4 I think and it arrived on my door yesterday (10/3) sometime between 2:30 & 3pm. FedEx didn't even ring the bell, but my son told me I had a package as he came thru the front door from school. :sly:

I am new to android and wondering how likely do you think AT&T will get the 64gb version? 32gb is not enough for me and I am willing to wait for the 64gb version but if it is not coming I will get the note 4. Thanks!
I can all but guarantee it's not happening. I asked my normal AT&T rep and he said Google is keeping the 64gb as a PlayStore exclusive.
Now take what he says with a grain of salt, but it makes sense. If they did get it it won't be for months. Look at any other phone (M8) that initially launches. Usually only one option and then down the road other colors and models crop up.

No idea, I was with Verizon forever. Just think from a marketing perceptive. I bet it's available first of the year or Q1 sometime. I highly doubt before then.
It's doubtful that Att will ever get the 64gb one. If you wanted to finance it you could but it directly from moto using that. Alternatively you can buy it outright through them, t mobile or the play store.
Historically has att released more options of a phone later on?
It is almost a year since I got my N6 from Verizon. I would want to upgrade by December. Are the alleged Nexuses from HTC worth it?
Your question is a bit premature. Until the upcoming Nexus phones are released, there's no way to know whether they will be "worth" it or not.

Another rumor is that HTC and Huawei will manufacture the next Nexus devices but they'd be designed by Google.

Will VZW sell a Huawei phone and/or allow it on their network? I got burned last year with a phone from Moto, that at that time, could not activate.
Considering how the current Nexus phones are only available in the Google store, VZW should allow it.

Never hurts to plan ahead and get some advice, here. Maybe they will be announced at MWC?
I would relax a bit guys. We have almost 6 MO the before the next nexus comes out.
I wouldn't be surprised if HTC does build it. Huawei on the other hand. Not very likely as the 6p was one of the worst selling nexus devices and most people refused to by it just because of who made it.

Either one. Due to the nature of Verizons network any AOSP device is gonna have trouble. Also Google will not make the same mistake of 2 nexus devices.
Google could have learned its session, but we will see. Verizon may sell none of them but allow them on their network, to eventually sell one of them. Did Verizon sl the 5X?

To be honest I am not sure. Verizon is not here.
Their biggest issue is the open source licensing. Alot of the telephone stuff for working on CDMA is closed sourced so it is hard to make it open source.

While this is true, the basics are that the stuff to run the phone operations on CDMA network are all closed sourced. So you cant really release a device that is supposed to be completely open source running a CDMA network. Thats why there are always issues with nexus devices and CDMA networks. You see the same thing with sprint the last few CDMA networks in the world as most use the updated GSM network.
