This phone looks amazing as it is but I will need to get a Verizon developer edition so I can have some more freedom for ROMS and such. Is there any news about the developer editions getting Moto Maker?
I wouldn't bet on it anytime soon...

For all I know, the gplay/developer edition will come later this year. But it's highly speculative at this point to know if it will come with the motomaker option. We should find in November.

which one should I get.? i was planning on a nexus 4 but im planning on switching carriers and the droid dna looks pretty sickk.
Well if you are planning on switching carriers then why get a Nexus? Nexus with its pure Android offerings, or a Spec Titan with an OEM skin (sense).
Personally I prefer pure Android after dealing with Touch Wiz and carrier keeping Android OS updates away from the consumer. I'm Team Nexus all the way.

Another vote for nexus, buuuuuut.... It'll be a while till you can get one! I tried on launch day and failed and now people who did get orders in are getting 3 week back order emails from Google. So I'm guessing it's going to be at least that long before they're available for purchase.
With all that, another question arises... Do you continue to wait for an unknown amount of time for the N4 or go with the DNA sooner?

idk man.. ive always loved the Verizon Droid family.. they just have that badass-ness about them. and pure android is nice but im leaning toward the DNA. sadly, verizon had 2-yr updates so i will go with t-mobile and the nexus. thanks though

I didn't get the feeling that would be a true Nexus. You know how Motorola is with their bootloaders.

The next nexus will be a Motorola for sure and i am waiting for it! until then i will use the nexus 4 (still waiting for it )
And may it will be named " Nexus Razr"

Only an idiot would doubt that google will make their own phones through Motorola. Its more a matter of when then if.
Its not going to be a nexus I believe it will be branded as the droid RAZR X and will be realesed with 4.2.2 in q1.Google should have 4.2.2 by then.
I'm just skeptical about it being a real 'nexus' device because hasn't every Motorola phone been only sold by Verizon? Idk if moto and Verizon have a contract but since Google owns Motorola anyone would assume they would make their devices but idk

No, Motorola has sold phones on other carriers. For example, I owned a Motorola Photon on Sprint myself.
However, I think this whole rumor is around some "X" phone by Google and Motorola that _won't_ be a Nexus and _will_ be carried exclusively by Verizon. I'll see if I can find a link...
This has nothing to do with the Nexus 4 and since a lot of users still haven't even received theirs yet, we are long way from discussing this phone's successor in here.
I've already moved one of these to Android General if you would like to continue the discussion there.

No official word. It's believed to be available on Verizon sometime in November.

damn
I asked for assistance about it to my carrier since Moto X got released a pair of weeks ago here in Mexico at Telcel. They told me that whenever i go to buy it, and i want to personalize it; they would buy it and give me the PIN for the order directly to MotoMaker.
I don't trust them that much because it seems that they don't know that much about it.
They didn't have heard about MotoMaker until i told them... So let's hope they do what they promised. I'm not that worried because i'm exactly two months away from buying it.

well it matters not now I have ordered the DE!!!! GSM!!
I ordered my Moto X on Saturday through moto maker. Its a Verizon retail version. Any idea if 4.4 will come on it? If I don't have 4.4 is there anything I should do before accepting the update? My understanding is the the bootloader on the VZW Moto X retail version has not been unlocked by anyone yet. I am interested in obtaining an unlocked boot loader and root if possible if only for options down the road. I have been seeing tools like RockMyMoto or something on here...what are those all about. These options seem a lot different from what I am used to on my nexus, could really use a brief introduction to my new device. If I am missing a key topic, a link would be super cool.
Thanks!

i just received my verizon phone today and come with 4.2 so you can still using rockmymoto in case that you want to root
It's supposed to be on the path to 4.4 however I wouldn't expect it until early next year but I might be wrong but that's when vzw releases big updates it seems.

Just got mine today. 4.4 was not installed but it started the download on its own. I didn't realize it until it had already downloaded.

Someone has been living under a rock
Verizon released it earlier this week, and tmobile released it today.
Trying to learn as much as possible about the Moto X before I buy. I am on at&t, and am deciding between the dev edition and the at&t.
Has anyone gotten OTA updates on their GSM dev, and if so was it Moto Google or at&t? In another words, you use an unbranded X on at&t and they update, do you also get all the bloat?
TIA
I've gotten updates on both att and aio wireless with my developer Edition. No bloatware at all. Updates come in same way as with a non developer version
