It'll come out when it comes out

I've seen a few things today that look like it'll be on the moto x and moto g within the next couple weeks..
But thanks @nhizzat, I don't think anybody would have put the effort in to answer a question like that! ??

Will Sprint version of Moto X include a Skip?

One of the things I like about the moto x is the skip... What I just read is that you only get the skip if you order through moto Maker is that true?
Link: http://feedly.com/k/157tHVZ
When I ordered yesterday I thought skip comes with every moto X...
Has anyone gotten the Sprint version yet and did it include skip?

No Skip with the Verizon edition.
Only a limited number of Motomaker Moto Xs will come with the Motorola Skip paid for by Motorola.
That sucks, I think every Moto X or any Motorola device should be able to get skip. As long as you have NFC and the app all you need is the equipment right.?

For what it's worth, and YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY, I called Motorola this morning and they agreed to send me a Skip for free.
Here is what I said (and it's true by the way, wasn't waxing BS):
I was nice and polite
I explained that I hadn't owned a Motorola device in over 10 years
That I bought the Moto X largely because of Skip and now that I realized that I wasn't going to get one, that I was disappointed (my Moto X is being delivered tomorrow)
That I felt that I took a chance buying a first generation device
That I felt that I should have waited for Moto Maker on Sprint but decided to order now because of the Skip and other features even though I lost the option to customize my device
That I thought that the Skip came with it
and that the promotion of the Skip didn't really make clear that it was a Moto Maker exclusive
Again, YMMV... 800-734-5870

Verizon Moto X Customization

Hi Folks,
So have a question regarding the motomaker option going live for Verizon. I had bought my moto x about a month n half ago from amazon (verizon). Now that the motomaker for verizon is live, is there a way I can get this and return my current phone / get money back...etc???
Really don't wanna shell out $600 twice

You may have to sell it through Swappa/EBay/Craigslist and use what you get toward the Moto Maker version you want.

You can't return a device that old As stated, you're only real option is to sell your current one. If it's in excellent condition you could squeeze out a little bit over 400. If you can stick to selling locally to avoid any sellers fees.
I remember when the moto x came out there was talk about being able to send your phone in and get new colors. Maybe it's still coming, but it would be a nice option. Personally I want the development edition, but I don't like the black. I chatted on moto maker and they said it's not possible. I think it's sad that they've put so many artificial restrictions on it.

Moto Maker Edition vs. Developer Edition vs. Pure Edition...

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.

Sunrise app/apk on Moto X 2014?

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.

will the gen 2 get 4g in the near future?

Hi,
I really like the reviews of the Moto g 2nd gen phone. The only downside is the lack of 4G. Do you think that a new version of the 5" 2nd gen phone will be released this side of Christmas with 4G added? You see if it might be then I will hold back and buy it when it comes out? If not I would probably buy the current phone limited to 3G or wait until after Christmas to see what new budget/mid range phones get released.
Thanks for your inputs and guidance.

Well Sir..I haven't seen any certainty in print..but I personally hope so..I have (2) XT1045's which is the Moto G 4G LTE (1st Gen.)..I also have the XT1064 Moto G (2nd Gen.) 3G which is comfortable with H+ service also..and I certainly hope Moto will release a 4G version for a few more dollars, as they did with the 2013 Moto G..I'm an exclusive Moto user since 1989 and I certainly hope and expect a 4G release..I'm holding out for the Moto G instead of a Moto X purchase..which I also have the 2013 XT1060 Moto X Dev Edition..
