Very nice. I think I am going to get the Droid X tomorrow, use it for 30 days, switch back to the Touch Pro 2 and wait for this phone. Samsung seems a lot more developer friendly then the Droid "efuse" X.
That's been out for a couple of weeks.
I tihnk I've pretty much been sold on this phone. Can't wait. This is the one thing that is bringing me back to Verizon.
Hello guys,
just seen this and thought to put this here.. It seems amazon.de (german version of amazon) plans to slash the prices of Moto RAZR and Nokia Lumia in a large percentage (up to 50%) for a few hours only though..
here is the source link:
http://www.gsmarena.com/amazon_de_l...for_the_lumia_800_and_moto_razr-news-3506.php
If someone got the funds for an extra Razr then take it and I will buy it from you in a couple of days! ;p
If I helped, click the "THANKS" button!
Do you know what time that is in either central or eastern time in America?
Appears to be in about 1 hour 50 mins EST
Thanks for the heads up on this. I may have to treat myself to an early xmas gift.
$574 for the Razr.
Did the price adjust just a few minutes ago? I logged into the site but the price hasn't changed from what I can see.
You have to go under lighting deals. Link is here: http://www.amazon.de/Sonderangebote...ick/b/ref=cs_top_nav_gb27?ie=UTF8&node=872398
Thanks. I was hoping to see a stronger price cut. Funny how the article said it could be up to 50% but 20-30% was more probable and we didn't even see a 15% cut.
If it was half off I would have bought one for me and got another to be sold on Ebay.
Do you think the discount will be similar in size on the Lumia?
No clue but its only 41 mins away so I'll wait and see
That was a pretty disappointing discount after what the article said.
sorry guys.. I saw the article and thought this might become useful.. big expectations lead to big disappointments I guess..
3 mins till lumia
$527 for the lumia..
have one in my cart if anyone needs it. be there for 14 more mins
same here..
I had a nice unexpected surprise this week.
I've using an unlocked Moto G (16 gig) on AT&T for awhile. Started to have problems with the earpiece. Did an advance exchange for another Moto G. Received the Moto G, but come to find out the replacement was not unlocked.
After 2-3 different calls to try to figure out the situation, I received a call from another person in advance exchange. This is a true story, but he said because of the hassle and amount of calls I had to go through, they were shipping me the 2013 32 gig developer edition. I never asked, requested, or even got upset trying to initial just to get them to ship the correct Moto G. Showed up today brand new sealed in the box.
Anyway, pleasantly surprised and now need to snoop around the forums on case recommendations. They sent the white background/black front.
Congrats. The dev version only come in one color, black front and white back as you state.

While I don't mean to sound harsh, this is the Moto X subforum so, why are you posting about the Moto G here? I read that post thinking that because of the hassles you had with Motorola customer service they sent you the 32GB Dev Edition of the Moto X, but... now I don't have any clue whatsoever exactly what you got.
I don't think there exists a 32GB Moto G Developer Edition.

They sent a Moto X developer edition.
Mods: please close the thread as it appears this should not have been posted here.
Same thing happened to us!
I bought a brand new Moto G ( previous edition) for my dad and after a few days the sim card slot somehow got messed up and wasn't reading the card. So we called, it was covered under warranty and we gave our info for advanced exchange. When we received the package in the mail it turned out to be a Moto X Dev edition.. I was shocked and called them to make sure it wasn't a mistake. ( I didn't want them to charge me extra for it) . Turns out it wasn't a mistake but they just decided to be nice? Not sure why exactly.. Maybe they have extra DEs sitting around or something, or they want to clear inventory. Anyways my dad and I are both happy campers and their excellent customer service has made us customers for life!
Moto has great support. They really take care of people.
Seems like a fitting place to me.
I just purchased this same dev edition model and I am eagerly waiting for it to arrive!
My custom moto x had a ring around the front camera get loose. I was eventually told (after I sent Motorola the phone) that they were unable to make me the same phone and upgraded me to the pure edition 2nd gen.
Moto has the best customer service from what I experienced. ( I have own samsung. lg, htc , etc, all went through RMA before).
Last time my Droid Razr Maxx broke and could not read sim (UICC card). they just gave me an MOTO X developer Edition. ( back in April). I call and offer to paid more to get customization. They just offer me a custom moto x unlock/t-mobile for not extra cost at all!
I could not be more happier. And I convinced my friends and family to try Moto X.
HTC is very quick in RMA but since moto offer me an free moto x, I could only vote for them
Moto is a great company. But I'm afraid what the future holds now that lenovo has bought them. I think lenovo already closed the US plant where they made custom motomaker phones and outsourced those jobs overseas.
Not to downplay moto's kindness.... But watching ebay it seems people have been clearing warehouses of dev editions lately.
I would imagine that it being a dev edition, at this point they are just trying to figure out what to do with the remaining units... Regular moto x carriers will take and give out for free/pennies until remaining stock is gone... But I bet demand for the developer units has dried up SIGNIFICANTLY now that its an old model of what was already a nich phone to begin with.
Nice unexpected upgrade though. Nice to see companies taking care of customers rather then just performing the minimum expectations..

I'm guessing they still have a lot of stock of Moto X 2013.

May I ask why did you have to RMA all of your previous phones?
I've never had to RMA any of my phones, and I've had several

I owned a lot of phones before ( yes , I am a phone-junk). Some are good, some have issues. It just happens. For those which have issues and still under warranty, I would have them RMA.
That is why I have experienced RMA from Samsung, HTC, LG , and moto.
Not all my phones went through RMA, only a few. But I do know all major phone maker RMA procedures
This is why I won't be able to switch to another brand in the foreseeable future, Motorola tries to show they care. My first Android device was an Xperia X10, which was damaged not a month after I bought it (a known device issue) but Sony wouldn't hold up their warranty and left me scorned forever at them. Never again Sony. And now, Motorola has restored my faith in any company, I just love my Moto X.
Edited - it is $200 on ebay now:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorola-MO...erizon-GSM-XT1060-NEW-UNLOCKED-/221676670648?
This was my original post:
Just wanted to give people a head's up - you can get a brand new Verizon Moto X Dev Ed on ebay for $220. Click through ebates, fatwallet or mrrebates and you get another 2% back. Not much cash back, but it is better than nothing.
I don't think these come with a manufacturer's warranty but idk for sure. It's a great price for a great phone!! I actually like the white woven back/black front combo a lot.
Just search for Verizon Moto X on ebay and you will find the listing. N/A. Last night there were only about 500 sold but tonight over 1600 sold! I don't know how many the guy has to sell.
Also check your email for an email from paypal for a $50 statement credit if you sign up for paypal credit. Not everyone gets the offer, but it came around the end of November. If you sign up and then buy the phone on credit, you will get a $50 statement credit! Check your spam folder if have a paypal account and don't see the offer but like I said, not everyone gets the offer.

Do be aware, it seems most of these are from the September 2014 batch that left the factory with incorrect programming (seems the CID is set wrong) and the boot loader unlock site will tell you that the phone cannot be unlocked.
Your going to need to go to this: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/f2061da875?page=1 thread and read the section of the OP in red letters if that is the case. It provides an email address you can email your information to get the unlock code.
Motorola IS unlocking these phones however, and having read through that thread multiple people have inquired about warranty and been told its being honored...
Still a good deal, I have been happy with my phone... but it took about 5 days to get it unlocked and a bit of digging around to figure it all out. Now that Motorola has been dealing with the issue, and you already know about it it should be a lot quicker to get your code. I got in RIGHT after then stopped having you PM oliver on the forum, right before they started trying to figure out how to handle us all.

i had the sept built one. moto sent me an unlock code and now i am all unlocked and rooted! happy buy
If you're on Verizon and are looking for a smaller phone that can be rooted/boatloader unlocked, get this. Root exploits are likely going to be harder to come by after 5.0. With this phone you don't have to worry about root exploits being closed with an OTA.

I received mine today - manufacture date is 9/2014 and I was able to unlock the bootloader in literally 3 minutes!!!
I noticed the guy is now selling them for $250. I will check the warranty status as soon as I activate the device.
Also on Amazon (for cheaper) 199$ + free shipping
didn't see this post until after i purchased this device through amazon here, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QB3ZF00/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
was a little leary until i got the package, brand new, sept 2014 build/manufacture date on UPC sticker... activated no problems. :good:

Nice, thats a better deal than eBay. Plus its Amazon fulfilled so if there are any issues Amazon is much better to deal with than a random eBay seller.

Me too!
I ordered the Moto X Developer Edition that will work with Verizon Wireless on Amazon yesterday. I can hardly wait to get in my hands so I can play with it and get everything from my Samsung Galaxy S3 transferred over to it. Looks like it will be one that I will definitely be very happy with. I've had Motorola cell phones and smartphones in the past and they have never let me down.

It'll be a nice jump up from the S3. I'm back on the 2013 version after trying both the droid turbo and moto x 2014. It's a great little phone!
I purchased a new Moto X Verizon Dev Ed from one of the cheaper sellers on Amazon. As expected it was part of the Sept. 2014 batch of phones. I used the links provided on the first page and had my code from Motorola in less than 12hrs and had Lollipop installed not much longer after that.
Very happy with the purchase, don't be scared by the Sept 2014 batch of phones the process is simple (if you can unlock the boot, you have the abilities) and quick.

I just went to that last December from the S3 to the Moto X (1st gen). Love it, love it, love it. NO LAGS!!!! It's been seamless and smooth. Battery life is excellent. I get almost a day and a half if I'm not playing Diamond Digger (the makers of Candy Crush). I love the notification without having to open it up (have a pin code). I have it paired with my Bluetooth stereo in my Honda which plays music off the phone. It even reads back to me whenever I get a text message and gives me the option to respond (and this while driving ). I'm still trying to get use to using Google Now commands so I can do things more hands free.

I got mine almost three weeks ago and I'm really loving how this one works. I also find that my phone really doesn't lag like the S3 did. The cell phone signal is also a lot better on this phone. I really notice it when I'm at work.

I am interesting in buy a Droid Turbo 2 and I know this phone 2 general issues(Not charging and Green line). I am not from US so I won't have warranty(just a 90 days warranty from seller).
I need to know if every Droid Turbo 2/Moto X Force has these issues or they were just the first batchs and if there is a way to avoid the issues.
Thanks
I bought the phone 3 weeks ago , and i have no warranty same as your situation , there is no issues with charging and no green lines , all is good with this phone , make sure the turbo charger comes with it , also you should know that this phone doesn't have root and it seems it will never do , so if you care about this thing you should reconsider , other wise this phone is rock solid device really great specs and the screen will never shutter , just make sure you get with it a screen protecter to avoid scratches since its not gorilla glass . battery is also great , i get around 6-7 hours onscreen time 2 days stand by time
If you're not from US buy Moto X Force. No bloatware, unlockable bootloader, rootable...

I bought DT2 in December, no issues at all so far.
BUT, as Zeljko1234 said, if I were you I would probably buy Moto X Force now. I decided to buy DT2 only because X Force wasn't available in Europe these days and I wanted this phone "now, now, now!" Droid Turbo 2 has issues with upgrading due to Verizon upgrade policy or rather lack of it.
I also bought my Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo 2 last December.
I really like the phone but the SLOW..... Verizon updates and no root available are 2 major negatives.
If I had it to do over again, I probably would have waited and bought a different phone, one that had root available. I really thought root would be available shortly after I bought it - boy was I wrong!
Moto x force here too UK and no warranty due to buying from Ebay but i am very happy with it meets all my needs especially battery wise. Iff your not from U.S you ought to go for the x force rather than DT2 like others have said no bloat and you can also root iff required.
