The developer edition is carrier free. Even the "t-mobile" version is unlocked and carrier free :eek:
[Moto X General] thehockeydude44:
Yea, yea... he said to check back in within the hour and then disconnected before I could ask anything else. I'm sure the 99 people who were listed as before me asked the same thing...

Imagine how your F5 button feels? JK

Not going to sell out in a minute. If we all checked once a minute maybe they could fix it faster?
[Moto X General] leungalv:
I issue a concurring opinion
[Moto X General] bdpyo:
I guess being they never actually stated the "sale" time, you couldn't just check out at full price then argue for the difference..
[Moto X General] thehockeydude44:
I wouldn't mind going back to sleep myself, seeing as how I got to enjoy the fun Thanksgiving airport festivities, complete with delayed flights, almost missed connections and lost luggage.

[Moto X General] bdpyo:
Maybe it was posted there I didn't see it, I just saw it on here and 2 other "phone" websites.
[Moto X General] robotphood:
I swear I saw it yesterday while checking the website on the Moto G. I could be delirious at this point though.
[Moto X General] thehockeydude44:
The Capitals... They might not be good to me during the post-season, but I'll love 'em forever anyways.
[Moto X General] Talguy:
so are they also having a sale on cases or is there a promo code for them. Does anyone know the promo code for cases if there is one?
[Moto X General] wmdunn:
Code is THANKS for 30% off on accessories.
[Moto X General] CosmicPriest:
"THANKS"
[Moto X General] rockingondrums:
That's cool. It's not one of my division rivals and it's not the Bruins (Chara is an ahole). Sharks play against the Penguins this week, first in the Atlantic Div.
[Moto X General] thehockeydude44:
And at least that worked for me, I've got a 30% off Otterbox sitting right next to my still full price Moto X.
[Moto X General] Talguy:
thanks for it
[Moto X General] thehockeydude44:
Haha, for some reason I have a huge distaste for the Sharks... although when any team is playing the Pens I'll root for them, even Philly.
[Moto X General] wmdunn:
You're welcome ... might want to hit the thanks button.
[Moto X General] Talguy:
Looks like that code doesn't apply to the air jackets. Man I wanted one of those. Anyone have suggesting on a case that improves grip. I want a thin case, something that isn't bulky.

Edit: Nevermind it did work
[Moto X General] rockingondrums:
Why do you have a distaste for them?
[Moto X General] lakedubvt:
My shopping cart just said "You cannot check out with a moto x right now"

[Moto X General] lakedubvt:
The front page for motomaker now just says "coming soon" with no price....getting close I hope
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
How hard is it to change the price on the phone??
[Moto X General] thehockeydude44:
Honestly, I can't remember. I think it had something to do with a friend who was a fan, but it's slipped my mind. I respect the hell out of them though, they're doing amazing this year and have been for a while.
[Moto X General] robotphood:
Exactly. Perhaps they are waiting for the server load to die down.

I ordered on nov 18 and received nov 21.

I am just inside the 14 day period. Considering swapping my custom moto x for a dev edition on verizon.

just call moto the number is on the paper that comes with moto x activation and tell them you want to return it. they email you a return fedex slip and thats it.

[Moto X General] thehockeydude44:
I'm not gonna do that... Somebody tried to do it earlier last week when the deal was announced and they said that due to the "limited stock" of the deal they wouldn't give a refund. Although they did give a smaller gift certificate to their store IIRC.
[Moto X General] onesikpuppy:
It's like the whole Cyber Monday thing was a surprise to them.

No.

Edit: And stop refreshing every second and be patient. Moto knows we want these and won't want a backlash from low stock.
[Moto X General] CosmicPriest:
It won't let you check out even if you do.
[Moto X General] Mike_jnz:
While we bite our nails and wait ...

I am still somewhat of a newb to phones, even though thanks to XDA I figured out how to root and flash roms on my ancient Exhibit 4G. (only because I follow directions well) As far as the Moto X, I am leaning toward the Dev Edition simply because I wanted to try a white back anyway (bored with all black) and I wanted 32 gb anyway (somewhat more future-proof). Seems like a no-brainer even if I never root. But can you tell me if there is any reason NOT to get the Dev? Given the above reasons for getting it, are there any drawbacks I missed?

Thanks and good luck getting yours today
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
Only drawback to the Dev edition is you can't customize the colors.
[Moto X General] jmill75:
Yes but the Dev edition is an awesome looking phone. Im good with the black and white.
[Moto X General] motoridersd:
I did that and then read on reddit that Motorola will not refund you $150, but will offer a $150 credit instead. I just canceled my order. I don't need a $150 credit, and I would pay less in sales tax if the price was $350 vs $550 for the GSM dev edition.

They *say* sale will last all day. So I'll just try later.
[Moto X General] poena:
I bet this goes live as soon as I step out for lunch. :rolleyes:
[Moto X General] Mike_jnz:
Thanks guys I was hoping that was the case. I like the Dev as-is also. I hate white fronts because the screen looks goofy to me, but this configuration is perfect IMO.
[Moto X General] WA_Bob:
Indeed - It's less expensive to wait so I'll just keep refreshing on occasion to see how my luck does.
[Moto X General] Talguy:
I have the same feeling also.
[Moto X General] skwalk47:
I just have a chubby at the thought of a dev edition moto x for 400 and selling my pos gs4 for 225. God I hate that thing, it's the Android version of Alcatraz.

Just gonna have to be patient... But not to patient!

I sure hope they don't limit this to a ridiculously low quantity of each carrier/model. If this sells out quickly, they will not hear the end of it.

No, I just think there was some poor planning on their part for demand. I figure they won't "sell out", but I'm sure some folks will be waiting for a long time to get their phones.

[Moto X General] cmo220:
For those still in their return window, there is this offer. Not nearly as good as a refund but better than nothing. I'm not sure if they will automatically send this or if you have to call them. But form must be returned today by midnight. I called them and they emailed this while I was on the phone with them, that would probably be the best way to make sure you get this.

Funny it says until December 1st but they were offering this to anyone who bought one today before the price adjustment. Easier to just cancel your order if the phone hasn't shipped.

Sorry for the confusion. She ordered the right version after checking all her info. And now we play, the waiting game! Lol

VZW DE now shows 'some items in your cart are no longer available". Item shows as in stock. :(
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
I ordered a slim bumper case form Motorola last night as I can see dropping this some time soon it's so slippery. I really haven't had the need to even root a phone in a long time, I got tired of custom ROMs and mods, but I do like having the option to do it easily if I ever wanted to. Also being able to restore and update from factory images is a plus. And last but not least OTA's can break root and unlocking methods and with the dev edition you don't have to worry about that ever.
[Moto X General] cabraswell:
I'm thinking about taking advantage of this deal (for use on T-Mobile) if I can catch it. My only question is this: What would be the difference between the T-Mo carrier version with unlocked bootloader and the GSM developer edition? Maybe I'm missing something but wouldn't they operate the same once the bootloader is unlocked? Would root methods be the same? I just want to make sure I make the right decision should I go ahead with this purchase.
[Moto X General] DroidOnRoids:
Guess my white Moto X will be listing on Swappa soon lol
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
The dev edition is also sim unlocked out of the box, it can be used on either GSM carrier without anything special being done. You would have to get T-Mobile to give you the sim unlock code to use AT&T, which I've heard they freely give out as long as you're not under contract.
[Moto X General] cmo220:
Multiple people have told me that even though mine is in the 14 day window they can't refund any money. I have to order a new one and return this one.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
Even if it's 1 day old, you'll have to return the phone.
[Moto X General] gtg465x:
I don't think this is accurate. The Moto X isn't officially a T-Mobile phone. T-Mobile doesn't sell it in their stores. If you select T-Mobile on the Moto Maker site, I'm pretty sure you just get an unlocked phone that works on T-Mobile. No need to unlock it for use on AT&T.
[Moto X General] daniel2744:
I think you are right. when i wanted to buy one this was getting me confused lol
[Moto X General] Coderedpl:
I currently have a black non-dev, and actually just purchased a new non-dev one from someone for my wife. Then they announce this.

My first idea was to return that and get the developer edition but it seems like I have what I need as is now. Development seems a bit slow and it's kind of sad to see that this phone didn't get more attention. I'm doubting that out of nowhere it actually will.

Might just stick what I already bought instead of going through the hassle.
