Whats the difference... my Verizon rep is providing pricing and options for the regular edition and the "Moto Maker Edition", but on the Motorola website all I see is the "Developer Edition" and in other news stories I see "Pure Edition"... whats the difference? Purely symantics for the same unlocked bootloader version of the Moto X 2014?

Moto 2013 - dev edition had an unlockable bootloader. you could get a version for at&t/tmobile or for verizon
Moto 2014 - pure edition has an unlockable bootloader and no carrier branding or apps. you can only get this for at&t/tmobile at full retail price through motorola's moto maker, and you can customize the colors and storage
Moto maker - lets you customize the design of your moto x (2013 and 2014). can not be used on the 2013 dev editions
there's some confusion here because you can use moto maker to make a pure edition moto x. however the important thing to know on verizon is you have 2 options: a preconfigured color & storage straight from verizon, or a customized version through moto maker. however you cannot get a pure edition on verizon

Moto Maker is the version where you get to customize it and select the colors you want. If you get this option and use either AT&T or VZW the bootloader will be locked down and not available to be unlocked unless someone comes up with a method to do so.
Pure Edition is a GSM only version (works on T-Mobile and AT&T) and it is sim unlocked as well as bootloader unlockable (the new GSM Dev edition)
Developer Edition is only available on the old Moto X, that was the version you have to pay full price for just like the current Pure, but the old Moto X had a VZW Dev Edition.
Excellent... thx. I guess I'll be getting the standard VZW one and then hoping "someone comes up with a method to do so"

As of right now, if you order a Verizon Moto X, you will be getting last years. They don't have an officially announced model yet (and I am speculating they could just release the new Droid (that looks really cool) and not an X).
My Verizon rep (we're Gov) definitely sent me pricing info on the "New Moto X - 5.2" etc... when I asked him yesterday AM he hadn't heard anything yet... but after doing some digging he was able to provide pricing etc this morning....

I'm a little bit confused. I want a moto x with all the moto apps like moto assist, voice control and active display. If I want to root the device and install xposed framework. Which one do I have to buy? I'm living in Germany and when I go to moto maker there is nothing I can't choose among different versions, except in storage size and colour.

All of this model discussion is for US models. There should be just one EU model (that I am aware of) that should work with all common bands in the EU and have the software of the Pure edition. The issue here is the US mobile industry is a mess and controlled by the mobile networks, making moving between providers (or traveling out of the US) a pain in the neck.
Unless your on T-Mobile in which case you can go overseas no problem. Love T-Mobile!
Singapore Use
Hi,
I live in Singapore. I just wanted to check that the pure edition should work here if I can get it shipped to me?
I know the LTE is not working for now but it should work on HSPA+ I think.
Will it still get the updates from Motorola/Google or are those USA specific?
Thanks a lot.

Does it work?
Has anyone tried the Sunrise app (found @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792487) on their new Moto X 2014 (VZW or ATT) to attempt to unlock their bootloader?
Just curious, as your experience will influence my decision about which Moto X to buy for VZW network (i.e., Moto X VZW 2013, Moto X VZW 2013 Dev Edition, or Moto X VZW 2014).
Thanks in advance.
It won't work. I asked @jcase in that thread.
*Sunshine by the way.
motorola's support site doesn't have factory images for the new moto x pure edition (or any other 2014 moto x for that matter) in the event that you get into a pickle (like me).
anybody? ferris? anybody?
I would like this as well. Almost got myself into some trouble yesterday
Since Motorola does things which are US only, I was wondering what this pure edition is. If I order a phone on Moto maker in the UK, do I get a "Pure edition"?
EDIT: Nevermind, I found out it does count as pure edition.
Always was a nexus guy, then got the moto x (1st gen). Loved it.
Just upgraded to the N6. It's too big, and I miss moto display.
I'm currently on At&t (member of a family plan at a good rate), and not under contract.
Which Moto X variant would you recommend?
I'm confused about the Pure Edition. Does it include moto display, etc..? Or is it the same as the play store edition?
Yes get the Moto X Pure edition. You will really like it. The model number is XT1095 and will come with either a Net10 or a TMO Sim. It has all of the great moto software.
I am currently using it on AT&T.

Pure edition is just a new name for the unbranded variant. It still has the exact same software (minus any ATT apps) -- in other words, it's NOT a play store edition
