Well it seems Verizon has gotten 5.01 already on its Moto X. And here we have the pure edition which is supposed to be the fastest version of the phone to get updates and yet still not 5.01. With 5.0 Verizon got it like 2 weeks before the pure edition. Looks like this update will be the same. So my question is why would anyone pay $500 for the pure edition if it gets updates later than the carriers branded version? What is the point of PURE EDITION.
I'm on VZW and I haven't got the 5.0.1 update. Where did u get ur info from?
Who on Verizon has 5.01?

you can unlock the bootloader of pure edition without voiding the warranty whereas you can't even unlock the bootloader of Verizon version

Pure edition was one of the first devices to have 5.0. They probably won't release 5.01 because the bug fixes don't really pertain to us

Hope that's not the case. There are a few bugs in moto's software I'd love to see fixed. Dunno if that will require a 501, but if so I hope it's soon.

Swappa.com. That's where I got mine. The prices on there for used phones seem pretty fair.

That's a good thing! Pay a few bucks to sim unlock it, and you can unlock the bootloader too on moto's site.
As long as the radio bands are compatible with your carrier.

I actually told cellunlocker that my phone was att and then I realized it was Rogers, I tried the code still and it worked. I get LTE on T-Mobile.

This phone has awesome specs, 5.2 inches is a more reasonable screen size than 6 inches (for me), and the outright price is $100 less than the Nexus 6.
It has everything going for it except it will contain all the VZW bloatware and will of course be locked down like crazy. Because it is a Verizon exclusive, the devs will be limited by ¾ (no Sprint, T-Mobile, or ATT devs) and that leaves me to question is the phone worth the lack of development that Verizon exclusivity creates? By comparison the Nexus 6 is one model for all carriers and is practically guaranteed to have a huge developer community.
If you have your mind set on either the Droid Turbo or the Nexus 6, what are your reasons for selecting that particular phone in regards to your speculations of the future developer communities among all the other reasons?
Maybe? Anyone who tells you a definite answer is simply guessing. You can go check out the other "droid" forums here on Xda to see if they were affected.
Myself I couldn't care less about rooting or flashing ROMs, I'm getting the phone since it's a damn beast of a device

It all depends. I had the DROID DNA which was also a Verizon exclusive and wasn't promoted too much. It had great dev support within a few months. I've had an unlocked bootloader and root for awhile. Then again, it was an HTC device.
What for do you need the developers for this beast phone anyways...
Sent from my One A0001
i can tell from experience last year droid maxx, the software was so fast and cool that i never missed any custom rom, because you would lose active notificacions and ok google now function, i even debloated the stock droid maxx rom and released it for dev devices and it was even faster, i can live with stock rom, but root its necessary, so as long we get root for this one im cool.
All I know is people are pist this phone came out after they upgraded. This is the first time i get a phone beyond my expectations.

In general a Nexus is easy to unlock and develop for and a Verizon branded phone is difficult to. That's not to say the Turbo won't have development or get unlocked though. It's definitely possible but more difficult. I bet there will be some big developers for this device so we'll see. IMO if you can deal with a huge phablet then definitely go with a Nexus over this. I personally just can't walk around with that big of a device.
The galaxy nexus (vzw only model) had insane dev support. I don't think the exclusivity will be the issue as much as the difficulty to unlock it.
Bought a phone that was suppose to be a nexus 6. i didnt realize that it was a little different until about 15 minutes after i bought it. its the same size / looks like a nexus 6 minus the nexus logo on the back. Under the model number it states moto maxx, and the software(android 4.4.4) looks like moto software with bootup images, twist to camera etc. It doesnt have any google apps or the google play store loaded onto it. Any idea of what phone this maybe?I will have to post pictures in a few minutes.
Pictures are below.

Looks like a clone to me. I'd try to get your money back if possible.
Looks like this is what you got instead of a Nexus 6. http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_maxx-6779.php
The Moto Maxx is a legit phone, just not sold in North America. I know Asia, Central & South America for sure.
It doesn't t look like the moto maxx pictured above. It look exactly like a nexus 6 without the logo.(same size and shape)I've been searching and seen somthing about a moto x pro that is similar to the nexus 6 but without Google apps and made for china. The problem is that phone comes with android 5.0 stock and this has android 4.4.4 and says moto maxx. I was given the run around about getting my money back so that's a no go.
its a moto x pro. its an exact duplicate of the nexus 6 on the outside, with a few internal difference. its officially motorola, and only sold in china(or asia).

Except Moto X PRo shipped with lollipop.
Also, it says moto maxx in the settings and also "Shamu_china" in the kernel.
Maybe it was one of those early development versions we see sometimes, but of the Moto X Pro?

its possible it had a version of 4.4 before release, for in house testing. we always see a device or two get out that had earlier versions on it. i know the n6 had 4.4 on it during in house testing, so its possible.
Definitely a X Pro. I'm sure there's a developer around here somewhere (working on trying to get Moto Apps working on the Nexus 6) that would love to get their hands on that.
I posted it on swappa (boneyard) if developer is Interested in it.

From what I've read the Verizon model is locked down, just like the AT&T model.

where did you read the information that big red's z2 is locked down?...
Im trying to decide to purchase, if bootloader is unlockable. On this forum, I've seen a couple of members confirm that At&t is locked down, but haven't read anything about vzw.
Thanks.

I wouldn't think there would be a difference between buying a Verizon branded phone from Motorola or Verizon. Who knows though. I'm currently waiting for the down payment I made on the att one to be refunded so I can buy and unlock a T-Mobile variant. I think I actually prefer the gray to the black anyway.
