I was able to get a 16GB from Fry's in Renton on Friday but it is apparently locked (no unlock symbol at boot). I'm tempted to return this in hopes of getting an unlocked one but it seems to be luck of the draw...has anybody gotten an unlocked 16GB from Fry's in Renton?
Got mine from bestbuy in bellevue and its unlocked.
If you get one without the unlocked icon, you can't root or what?
I was wondering bout this too, i bought a 32gb from Renton on friday, and it has the Unlocked symbol. I'm still reading up on these things, so i have no idea what it means.
If your bootscreen has a padlock your bootloaders unlocked. Doesn't make much difference now but it will when kernels start coming out. Got a 32gbtodayfrom Best Buy unlocked; my buddy got a 16 that was locked. He was bummed!

I cracked my front glass and sadly have imported the phone so patiently waiting for a replacnt glass so that I can have a brand new phone!
I actually ordered the blue back from aliexpress which was just 19$... Hope I get it though...

I personally have a little experience cuz I had ripped apart my droid ultra and droid maxx and replaced few parts as well... And there is already a tear down video of the turbo on YouTube so I am thinking it is gonna be fairly easy! Anyways the shipping is gonna take up to 4 weeks apparently... So gotta forget about it for a while!
I have the blue nylon. While it shows to have the branding in the picture, mine does not have any branding from verizon visible on the phone. Aside from the droid tag on it that is.
OMG that is soooo tempting
I just picked one up at Best Buy, looks damn good.
The blue is a nice dark almost Navy color, and the only branding is the Moto Dot and the Droid logo on the bottom.
32GB only right?

the black ballistic nylon on best buy's website shows the verizon logo too but it doesn't have it. The images online all have the verizon logo for promotion, but actual ballistic nylon devices don't have this logo.
Wow. Apparently VZW has started branding the 32GB Ballistic Nylon Turbos. This is a picture of the back of one in the VZW store I work at..

That looks like a bad photoshop job. The paint doesn't match the fiber pattern, not to mention the glow around it.
Trust me...its not.. Especially since I took the pic with my Turbo
I wish it was lol

my 32gb ballistic nylon has the Verizon branding as well.
Bought it two weeks ago from Costco
only the 64 gigs ballistic nylon don t have the Verizon logo
I have a 32gb ballistic nylon turbo with no Verizon branding.
Granted I got mine a week or two after release.

Yea the 32gb ballistic nylon doesn't have branding either... Or atleast it didn't
Bought my 32g from best buy to use with T-Mobile, and they had Verizon branding on the display model. After opening the brand new one that I opened there was no branding at all. I think it was because it was an older model, under status it says assembled on 10/2/2014. I just bought it 3 weeks ago and am happy without the branding.
Blue ballistic nylon is brand less
Got my 32GB ballistic nylon from Verizon in early November and noticed no branding on it. Ofc I didn't mention it or he may have given me one with branding on it. Haha
Obviously it's a new batch. The only interesting question would be, if you have an unbranded version and have to send it in do they send you a branded version? I would be pretty infuriated lol

But exclusive to Best Buy, and our stock is low most of the time (only a few phones per store.) No matter how many times you tell people how great the phone is, a lot of people won't buy it cause it doesn't say Samsung on it. And most likely will also end up being rebranded with the next shipment or two

or perhaps they don't like the blue ballistic nylon version Best Buy has?
That blue is so awesome I plan to get mine next week this device is the best out of the 2014 bunch imo just wish it had ois and unlocked bl but I can do without on this device I have many other unlocked rooted devices.
Got my 32 GB early enough to be sans tramp stamp

nice but too much
The lack of VZW anywhere on the exterior of my 64GB BN was a nice surprise when I went in to purchase it.
If its got to be there, fine having it on the back since its not the business end of the phone that I look at all the time. What was it, the Note 2 that VZW stuck the logo on the home button, that was too much.
I absolutely love the blue one up above. That is soooo cool!

Does the CPW pixel xl come with an unlocked bootloader like the phones bought from Google play store?

If you bought it online and it's less than 7 working days ago, threaten to return it under the distance selling act unless they give you the discount.

Fastboot and see if device is unlocked, I just wanted to know if it's the same as buying from the play store as those devices are or can be unlocked
Just got mine (Pixel 5" 128GB Black) from cpw and bootloader cannot be unlocked by normal "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot flashing unlock" commands. I had to use dePixel8 first and it worked. But this should only work before Android 7.1.1.
There's a seller on eBay that is currently selling a number of these for $39.99. They have unlocked bootloaders, ggow's HDX Nexus ROM v4.05, and TWRP v2.8.6.0.
I bought 2 and both are cosmetically pristine. One of the two I bought did have a faulty digitizer, but the seller took it back with no hassles. I'm not the seller... I just thought there may be some interest here since this community recognizes the value of these.
Could you please post a link? Couldn't find his offers..
Looks like he sold out. I think there were 6 remaining when I posted.
