In-store? - Moto X Q&A

Just wondering if anyone has seen the Moto X in an AT&T store yet? Just curious if the display is out yet or not.

I've been calling every AT&T store in my area for the past week, none of them will have the X on display until tomorrow. Another tidbit of info- apparently only the 16gb version will be available in store at launch, with the 32gb being online only. Kind of a bummer, was really hoping to get my hands on one tomorrow. Gonna have to order it now.

16GB = $579
32GB = $630
32GB is only available through motomaker customization. In-store only the 16GB Black and White units will be available. If you would like to customize, you can walk into an AT&T store and get a SKU card, pay for the phone in full, go online on motomaker and checkout with your customized phone at no extra charge. It will arrive in 4 days.

i believe you can also go straight to motomaker.com and buy outright without having to go to AT&T first.

Thats right, but that ability will not be available starting tomorrow. I have been told by a motorola source that AT&T wants people to come inside the stores and experience the motoX, and as a result, will only give out the customization ability via a SKU card, which you can purchase for the price of the phone ($199/249 or $579/630, whichever method you'd like) and then go on to motomaker.com
However, it wouldn't surprise me if motomaker.com started accepting orders tomorrow without the need for a SKU card. Will just have to wait it out and see.

Yes I know exactly how it's going to work. I was hoping to get a look in store today, before the phone goes on sale. So that I can just order online whenever convenient. But no AT&T store has it on display yet. No biggiee.

i keep hearing over and over that motomaker.com will be up tomorrow (for AT&T only though). so, if you buy a phone through motomaker, it's only going to work on AT&T. but like you said, we'll see tomorrow...

MotoMaker for AT&T

Any Idea when this will happen. Currently my AT&T store (Orlando, Fl.) only carries 3 colors and all in 16gb. They said you need to do motomaker to get 32gb, but they aren't doing it yet!!! Any ideas??
Go to motorola.com to use the moto maker for at&t . What they mean about not doing it yet is probably them not doing it in store.
It's only available for $149 puchase contract or $549 full price. I want the AT&T next upgrade price.

AT&T motomaker was available at device launch. September 16th.
Go through the steps to put it in your cart on the site and you'll be shown options near the end from ATT regarding your plan.
My daughter tried to purchase a PIN to build the X from an AT&T corporate store in Merrillville IN today (10/12/14) and was told that it is "coming soon". She wants to upgrade on her existing 2 year contract because she is grandfathered into a very low rate per month with unlimited data.
Has anyone actually purchased one using this method?
I've seen various dates, all this month, that in-store codes are supposed to become available. Keep trying them unless you are willing to go with what is offered.

[Q] Where can I get the Nexus 6?

Hi, I want to get the Nexus 6 unlocked model before 12/25 and I can't buy it from the Play Store because they don't accept international credit cards and I don't live in the US, I've tried Motorola but they never have phones in stock, I've tried to get information on when will they get stock by chatting with several Motorola representatives but none of them have gave me information about that, and I don't want to spend $700+ on a page like Amazon or eBay, what can I do to buy and get the phone before 12/25?

welcome! I suggest you add to Santa's list.
Lots of folks with the $700+ in hand can't even lay hands on a device. Not even from those sites you are running away from.
Out of a unicorn's rear end. Seriously, they're that understocked. If you aren't in the US, your only options are Play store, carriers and Ebay (and it's like). Since the play store is out, and Moto isn't selling them directly outside the US, your only options are to get one before Christmas is to hope you luck out and can get one from a carrier, or suck it up and go on Ebay.

Actually I can ship the phone in the US, the problem is that Play Store or Motorola accept a international credit card! Think there is a way to buy it from the Play Store with that credit card or that Motorola gets stock and ships it before Christmas?
If you are actually in the US, try seeing if you can snatch one up from carriers? Or consider maybe getting a US credit card? If they don't take international credit cards then there's really nothing you can do on that front. Unfortunately Google has a lot of restrictions by region and there isn't really any effective way to circumvent it.
You could try swappa, but the price are higher. I sold one on swappa last thursday late night, i shipped it friday via priority and it arrived yesterday, thats more faster than GPS or motorola

[Q] Nexus 6 at BestBuy?

I've been waiting for the Nexus 6 carrier-free to come to BestBuy. At this time only the Sprint and AT&T Nexus 6 are available in the store. I can't buy a carrier one because I have to take the phone abroad for someone else.
Any idea when the carrier-free Nexus 6 will come to BestBuy? Or any other suggestions of where I could buy the carrier-free Nexus 6?
Motorola.com
I doubt we'll see an unbranded Nexus 6 at Best Buy.

Get it from Google Play Store or Motorola.
If you get it from a carrier such as T-Mobile (you have to look it up yourself) their phone is not locked to T-Mobile. You will however have to pay off remaining EIP balance or pay for the device outright and have at least 1 month of service.
Sprint Nexus 6 should be SIM unlocked and can be used wherever.
Yup, the only variant that is SIM locked is AT&T's. I would have bought the Sprint version from BBuy, but they want $699 for the 32gb. I don't think so.
I recommend giving swappa a serious look. 32gb blue N6's are going for 700 flat all the time (with shipping included). Consider if you got "lucky" enough to buy one from Google Play or Moto. You'd need to pay $649 plus tax and shipping. That will easily put you above $700. And then you'd need to wait weeks in order for the phone to leave the warehouse.
I lucked up and talked a seller down to $710 shipped for a 32gb white. I say I got a great deal.

Would BestBuy match the GPS price? Or even the Sprint.com price which lists it at $648?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Oh well. I would've chosen Google Play or Motorola.com but I haven't been lucky enough to be able to order from them.
Another question, if I buy the unlocked Sprint Nexus 6, will it be exactly the same as the unbranded Nexus 6? Or will there be bloatware or something like a sprint logo on it? And also will it work outside the USA?

No Sprint logo. "Bloatware" would be determined based on the SIM card.
Work outside of USA..... find that yourself with the bands in your country to the Americas model.
So the Sprint Nexus 6 will be almost exactly like the unbranded one but just $50 above the normal price?
And if I get the Sprint one can I just take it abroad or will I have to use Sprint services for a certain period of time?

It will be exactly the same, but yes more expensive. The only one that is any different is one from AT&T, but even that is essentially the same phone (model number-wise). If you are buying it for outside the US, why not look into the International variant? Or has it not released where you want it yet?

I have to get it for a friend living in Asia and it hasn't been released anywhere but the US and UK yet. If I get the Sprint version of the phone, will I need to use Sprint services for a specific period of time or can I just take the phone abroad?

Verify that the bands will work in China or have the signals that he wants to utilize.
For sprint I'm not sure, ask their customer service as they'll give you a answer. You'll have to buy the phone outright of course.

[Q] Help with nexus 6 (several questions) (tmobile to Verizon)

After attempting to buy from 3 retail tmobile stores (who wouldn't sell me the phone without a plan) I ordered my nexus 6 via the phone. Several retail workers and customer support agents on the phone have told me I need to keep service on my phone for 45days to get the unlock code from them. Currently awaiting delivery (back ordered )
What happens if I don't wait for the unlock code And I just insert my Verizon sim?
The tmobile nexus 6 is suppousedly the same as the Unlocked GP nexus 6, so what exactly is unlocked?
I'm coming from a note 4 (my note 4 lags a lot more than everyone else and I can't take it anymore, couldn't figure out the cause)
will the nexus 6 have multi windows at all?
Also how do you use the notifications on this (I played with a 2013 moto x, is it the same?)
Sorry for all the question and thanks in advance for any help.
I just bought the phone from T-Mobile with their cheapest plan Wednesday and I'm canceling them today. From what I've been Reading I shouldn't have to pay anything for the plan. I haven't used it at all and just popped my Verizon Sim card right away.

nothing, except youll have a code that does absolutely nothing. i bought my n6, n5, and n4 via tmobile. they have never ever sim locked a nexus, never. its exactly the same n6 that you can buy at the play store.

Thank you, you pretty much saved me 45 days of phone bill payment.
Im assuming if i dont activate the tmobile sim, i can cancel/not have any charges.
I prev had the z1s with them for like a month and canceled due to their poor customer service , surprised they let me sign up again. (Then again theyre the ones who wanted me to sign up, i just wanted to buy the phone outright and use it on my unlimted data verizon line)
T-Mo Nexus 6 on VZW
OK, so I see that the T-Mo Nexus 6 works fine on VZW, however I see that all of you said you bought it outright, how about buying subsidized? Will it work if on VZW then, since the phone is getting activated, will it lock it to work only on T-Mo? Thanks for the help in advanced!

As stated above T-Mobile doesn't sim lock phones.... They also don't subsidize phones because they are the "uncarrier" so it will work if you pop the Verizon sim in assuming you have a bank sim ready to go.
As what others have said, T-Mobile doesn't lock the phones.
AT&T and Sprint are on a different story, AT&T I've heard locked their phones via carrier.
Sprint doesn't lock their phones but some people have reported buying them from Amazon have carrier locked so be careful on that.
T-Mobile will however make you stay with them for one month (I believe) before you can cancel. If you cancel, your EIP balance is due. If you pay outright, you'll still have to stick with them for a month. At least thats my understanding of it.
U.S. Cellular also sells the phone now but I'm not sure about their policy.
I just bought a white 64gb off swappa, anything in particular to check for? (My tmobile one is backordered).
Pretty sure i overpayed, but as long as the phone is like new i'll be happy.

Check the imei of course to see if it has been reported stolen etc or if the user has paid off the financing if it is financed.

Swappa pre-checked it, ill check it the imei again when i receive the phone
Its a 64gb CW with an extra turbo charger, dBrand skin, and a qi wireless charger. And it has the one year manufacture warranty.

Wow.... I would have definitely waited a bit longer than pay that much for a phone.
Theres availability, you just need to stick around for them. Have a auto refresh script that alerts you when its available. They randomly add them in stock.

Glad I caught this thread. Few questions to get clarification:
Assuming I buy the N6 from T-Mobile (subsidized or not) - what is their cancellation policy? Someone mentioned 45 day scenario where you can cancel without penalty? Is that true?
Thanks!

They dont do contracts. Just dont activate their sim and call them up saying you want to cancel.
If youre looking for a 32g id recomend buying off motorola.

Probably off-topic

This is probably completely off-topic, but I just spent a frustrating amount of time with someone from sales from Motorola. The person says it is a problem with my browser and I want to know if someone else can confirm this.
Recently I purchased the Moto X 2014 for my spouse. 64GB Pure Edition. No problems. Everything works fine.
Go to purchase one for myself today. Have some free time and use my work iPhone to look up the price while waiting at a job site. Pick all my options, select 64GB option, phone shows up as $499 (which is what I expected).
Go home, try to do the same thing, however, the same phone, same options, 64GB of storage will only go in my cart at $599.
The base model starts at $399 and the Motorola website clearly states that it is $100 more for the 64GB option.
The sales rep insists the correct price is $599. What gives? Is there something wrong with my browser is the sales rep wrong?
Thanks.
What carrier?

Trying to select the Pure Edition model. That one doesn't require you to select a carrier (but it will be used on T-Mobile).
Its definitely 599. i remember trying it before. 64gb is only for the pure and its 599. 399 is for the republic wireless one, its tricky advertising in my opinion. They pick the cheap carrier by default but as soon as you change it to any other one it goes up. The pure edition starts at 499, 32gb is like 549 and 64gb is 599. At least last I checked. Try different browsers and selecting different carrier/storage options. I don't know how you got it to show 499... it jumps straight to 599 for me as soon as I select 64gb.
