That looks like a bad photoshop job. The paint doesn't match the fiber pattern, not to mention the glow around it.

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

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
Sent from my XT1254
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!

Some guy is selling a bumper on eBay. He says he bought it from a carrier and that it is legit. What do you guys think? AFAIK, this is the first one I've seen for sell. I'm tempted to get this and dBrand's white leather vinyl...

Did yours also come with the warranty paperwork underneath the cardboard that holds the bumper up? That may be one of the best indicators of legitimacy, I don't think any of the replicas bother going that far.

Some of the replicas do come with the warranty paperwork. I've bought a couple that have it. Not only that, both the original and the replicas only include paperwork for Australia and New Zealand for some strange reason. If you have a real bumper and a fake one, the most obvious difference is the plastic around the charger port. It's much more refined looking on the real thing, but even still, you need to have a real one there to compare it to.
Not that it means anything, and it easily could be a fake, but the country of origin is Korea, lg is from Korea. Also, I've been around eBay for a lllloooonnnggg time and have found that generally if someone has 100% rating and is selling something of like that and barely making a profit the item is 9.999 times out of 10 as described. If that makes any sense. Generally with ebay, using it as much as I have, you just get a sense that the seller is legit. buyer protection is excellent between PayPal and eBay, so much so, I've been scammed once on eBay, fortunately, it was minor.
I bought this one for 16.99 free shipping on the 17th it arrived today. It fits great, buttons are very tactile. I was going to order another and the price went up. http://www.ebay.com/itm/350741240702

I purchased this case and I love it. I got the Red Carbon Fiber look. It holds the tablet securely without adding much bulk, and provides great access to everything, open or closed. The leather feel isn't super soft, but somewhat rigid and firm, which is nicer to me than just hard plastic, or soft leather. The prop up also works great and is very stable. For 20 bucks, I am absolutely happy with it.
that groupon link is for refurb'ed units. Walmart is also selling refurb for about $5 i think (both 16 and 32 version). But with Walmart you have 90 days to return...

Hi, I just read that the Developer Edition Moto X is being sold for just $229 on eBay. This is a pretty good deal for anyone who was considering buying a Moto X. International shpping is relatively low too!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Motorol...2GB-4-1-GSM-Unlocked-US-Warranty/221595159583
I agree. I was fortunate to have purchased a 64GB T-Mobile/Unlocked XT1053. I doubt we will see those again. Even the new 2014 Moto X Pure Edition is not offering 64GB.
I bought one, but just noticed this Reddit thread that suggests the GPS might not be working on them... anyone have any info relating to this?
I'm hoping that the reddit thread is malarkey. I just contacted the seller about this. I'll send it back unopened if this is the case. The ad said nothing about this. I read looking forward to getting this phone! Fingers crossed is not true!
Just reread the ad on eBay, GPS is listed as a feature. It states the phone is brand new in box with 1 year Moto warranty. Be cool if one child get moto care for it as well. The phone is in transit, hoping to get it a day early.
I doubt the phone lacks GPS...I mean, Motorola would need to have a lot of faulty Moto's to make such lot of GPS-less Moto X's. I'm pretty sure it do has GPS, very few phones lack GPS nowadays.
Just received mine yesterday, and it arrived a day early, too! No issues whatsoever. It was completely brand new, unopened and untouched. Absolutely loving it so far. Currently been using an iPhone 6 Plus and a Sony Xperia Z Ultra, and I've got to say, its quite refreshing using a compacts sized phone that fits perfectly in the hand.

Hi, I ordered mine from the same eBay link a few days ago (the Moto x 2013 developer edition 32gb, at USD 229) and I'm a little worried because I'm from Argentina and besides the price of the phone itself I also have to pay someone in the US to bring me the phone here, so it's an extra 100 dollars for me.
Anyway, since you received yours already I need to ask you if everything was ok with it, I mean, is it brand new? unopened box? not refurbished and working perfectly fine for you?
Thanks in advance for the help! [emoji12]

As I said, it's a completely brand new and unopened unit - factory sealed and clear wrapped in original packaging (as far as I can tell, it's not a refurbished unit). No need to worry. And it's running absolutely smoothly. Near flawless performance considering the chip set it's running.

Seller is playing some games with pricing, it's been up and down over and over again.
With Lenovorola wanting an absurd $200 to replace the chipped screen on my GF's MotoMaker XT1058 this has a lot of appeal.
Bummed it's an XT1053, no T-Mo HSPA support. Did they make a 1058 Dev Edition, or only the ATT variants?

You're totally right, suffered a moment of brain fade. 1053 is the one to have from a U.S. GSM band perspective.

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.

Hello.
Looks like Nexus 6P color frost is currently out of stock.
Do you think they will be able to buy again before the 25th of oct. ? (Last day of the PlayStore/PlayMusic offer).
Huawei doesn't have the frost version so there's no more options.
No one knows, but If it's like last year's Nexus6 out of stock, then maybe January 2016.
There appears to be a wait list in place now. Based on some of the polls around Frost seemed to be the least popular, so this doesn't make sense.

Well, based on threads here and elsewhere quite a few persons have switched to frost myself included. After watching many previews and hands ons, frost just stands out and looks so good that I and many others have switched. I think google didn't expect the demand and may have planned to manufacture less of it that the others.

That's unfortunate!
Something is up with that color as it is the only one lacking the lower storage option. I don't think it's a stretch to imagine reasons why that might get sold out quickly if they are already limiting configuration options from the get go.
I don't know if it's related, but Japan pre-order opened last night.

32gb isn't popular according to whom? The Graphite and Aluminum both have this variant....as do countless other fixed storage devices.
yeah, graphite and aluminium are anodized. white isnt anodized. maybe that require more process and cost more?
If Frost coating is not made from anodized process, then I'd wonder about how it holds up to scratches. Unless there's a process that can produce a harder coating than anodized process.
this is curious. so "everyone" who ordered graphite and AL models got random ship dates, all over the spectrum, but in the waiting room, you'd see reports of people ordering white and getting much earlier ship dates. now the white is OOS.
i just ordered (another) AL last night and i got the same ship date for my first order.
I dont know if order an AL and maybe frost comes again so I switch...
Google always fail in marketing -_-
So glad i ordered my 64GB frost on day 1.... lol
If you have access to project fi you can get a frost there
