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.

Great! Thanks a lot for the info! Hope it arrives soon!
@brodyr90
That's what I had hoped. Nothing but a troll thread on reddit. I ordered from same site. FedEx has had it since Wednesday afternoon & I can finally pick it up this afternoon.
What version Android came loaded? Any OS updates after firing it up?

It comes loaded with 4.4.2 but upon initial boot up, it prompts you to the latest 4.4.4 KitKat update.
ordered one also two days ago, the price as of today is $259, wiidbzxt thanks for starting this thread:good:
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?

Anyone know where I can find the Verizon variant?

I'd recommend doing a search to find out what bands of LTE ATT is currently using in your area.

You're totally right, suffered a moment of brain fade. 1053 is the one to have from a U.S. GSM band perspective.
Got one @ $259.99. Can’t wait for it to arrive, obsessively checking if seller shipped it yet.

It has 800 processor and 2GB RAM, and FHD screen.
Has there been any word on the release date?

It's Nov 22 according to BH.
$300 Wi-Fi
Finally I ordered one from newegg for $330 (BH keeps selling out).
I will test out whether the bootloader is unlocked or not.
If so, I need somebody to make TWRP for it.
Update: I received it and it's indeed a great tablet for the price.
My review (check Matthew)

You ever get twrp or custom ROMs installed?

The BHPhoto site has it on a one day sale for $499.
Hey guys! Don't kill me for asking all these questions, but..
I'm currently using a Nexus 5x, but it's gone bad (Melts chargers, usb data connection melted, etc)
I'm really interested in the Moto G5 Plus, but, I'm having difficulties finding it in person, so i intend to order one online!
So my questions go:
I have only seen two varients, a 32GB-2GB, and a 64GB-4GB. Is this it? Are they all "Potter" And will work with this rom?
Is the bootloader difficult to unlock? i see some kind of scrubber and pasting of data on a website i found.. seems kinda simple but i wanna be sure ♥
Is it safe to buy one on Amazon? The 32GB Variant is currently on sale. Is it safe to use the "Moto Maker"?
I see "DTV for XT1683 model" is broken. What is "DTV" and which model is XT1683?
Thanks for your consideration! ♥
EDIT: Too late, bought the 64GB Varient from Amazon. Wish me luck!
I just picked one up for my wife and have been pleasantly surprised. Of course we are coming from 3 yr old phones, so anything is an upgrade. Having the finger print reader, fast charge, adequate camera (certainly better than the LG G3 camera), unlockable boot loader, etc all for $180 for the non ad 32gb version I feel it is an incredible bargain.
I hope you got the non-ad version from Amazon as you cannot unlock the boot loader on the ad version. That is the only issue to watch out for. You can get rid of the ads on the ad version, but there is currently isn't a method to unlock the boot loader (and likely never will be).
Enjoy!

Which G5 Plus did you buy? The cheaper Amazon subsidized version or the slightly more expensive non amazon subsidized version?
If you bought the Amazon subsidized version just note that the root process will likely be different than the non subsidized version. See this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/help/resolved-root-moto-g5-plus-amazon-t3652932
Its a good phone with one or two issues however. Moto is apparently rolling out today a potential fix (see this post in their support subforums) for the poor/garbled audio on Verizon, no word yet if it works or if it fixes any of the other issues (like low volume on headset) the phone has.
Title says it all. Looking to pick one of these up as a tinker device. I know the Verizon bootloader is not unlockable, but are any of the other carrier branded devices unlockable? I've heard the AT&T and Metro PCS versions may be. Thanks!
I think that the Verizon version is the only one that's not unlockable. I can confirm that the MetroPCS/T-Mobile version is unlockable.
Verizon one
The Amazon ads version isn't unlockable either. Though they have removed the ads I believe.
I got the Amazon Version for 130$ Works great. I think there are cheaper version though. Just have to find one that you like, other than Verizon.
