Pissed, haven't even received my 32GB, black leather, red trim phone yet, and I can get it $50 cheaper now. My wife has an upgrade available too, can I buy a new one and return the phone to Verizon w/in 14 days?

Why not try asking Motorola for a credit. For the inconvenience of still waiting for your phone and since they've discounted the price. Pick up a turbo charger and a case or something.

Working on that now, though I really only want to get the $50 discount. Only headache is related to the upgrades. The Moto maker process did take my upgrade, so I spoke to Verizion, aside from having to play some upgrade ping pong with the upgrade on my wife's line, there shouldn't be a problem placing a second order and getting the upgrade back when Motorola cancels my first order. If I didn't have another upgrade available, this would be a much bigger deal.
I only placed the original order on 10/8, which is one reason why I am miffed about the discount. I realize that Moto can't always just apply sale pricing to previous purchases. I'm actually pleasantly surprised that they are willing to take the phone back w/ no penalty (15 day buyers remorse program, includes return shipping via FedEx). The upgrade ping pong is a minor annoyance and worth the $50 to me. It would certainly be nice if they could just cancel the first order... on hold regarding that right now. Cancelling the order wasn't possible.
Overall, both Moto and Verizon customer support were very helpful, and I'll be able to get my discounted 32GB, black leather, red trim Moto X 3 days later than the original.

Hey gang, I've got a bit of a conundrum here.
I'm the lucky owner of a Nexus 5 and it's a terrific phone. Problem is, my first love was the Moto X. I went with the N5 because it was cheaper off-contract as I currently have NET10. I'm still a little bummed that I didn't get the Moto X and I'm sure it'd be easy to trade the N5 for one but first I'd really like to try one out. Are there any good carriers out there that I can pick up a Moto X from and test drive it for a bit and then return it without taking too much of a financial hit? Carrier doesn't really matter, I want to test out the phone itself, not the service.
Ideally, the phone would be perfect for me and I would be able to trade someone's upgrade for a brand new Moto X from motomaker. Know of any reputable places where people trade phone upgrades?
Thanks all!
Whoops! Just realized this should go in Q&A. Please ignore!
Republic wireless just started selling the moto x for 299 with no contract and a 30 day money back guarantee . if you return it within that time, all you pay is the $10 shipping

trust me go to ebay look up Gazelle store they got good condition moto x going for $340 and obviously off contract. 30 day returns and even free return shipping. I was stuck in the same situation as you choosing between these two. Problem is still haven't decided.
Any know the return policy for the Moto X. The website is not clear, it talks about having 14 days to change your design if you don't like it but no mention if you can get a complete refund. I want to buy this as a gift but need the option to return it if is not liked. Anyone ever receive a refund?
Thanks
"For Moto X devices designed with Moto Maker: Let’s say you do all of your designing, get your Moto X, and then decide you have a different favorite color. You can re-design once if you return the first one within 14 days of buying (30 days in California), no questions asked."
I read that as 14 days from purchase date (not delivery date). The website is silent as to the developer edition but I was told in a chat session the developer edition is 14 days from delivery.
I'd post a link but because of the rules, it won't let me. But if you google motorola return policy --- what I posted will come up.
EDIT: I see what you mean now, that language is for design changes. May want to open a chat session to clarify. They will send you a transcript after the session so you will the answer in writing as well.
You can get a full refund for a MotoMaker X. It is 14 days from the day FedEx delivers it to you, just like an exchange. You can open the factory sealed box and they will still accept it for a refund.
You may have to defend yourself if you get one of "those" reps...

I couldn't find that anywhere in their refund policy, has anyone here ever gotten a refund? I'm going to try to chat them up when it's not so busy.
I am not sure if they spell it out explicitly in their policy but they will take it back based on my experience at least. Sorry I was not so clear -- yes, I did get a refund on mine. I got a not so pleasant foreign sounding lady rep who called me on Thanksgiving 8PM asking me why I wanted to return my X for a refund and questioning me. She was a MotoMaker manager and wanted to confirm the refund after I had called them. The next day I got an email from a Motorola rep confirming the refund:

If you look in the Cyber Monday thread, you'll see a LOT of people returned their Moto Xs for refunds as well. I definitely understand where you are coming from in looking for it officially spelled out from Moto so you can feel safe about it, so I guess your best bet is going to be to contact Moto via chat/email (even though their phone support is much more accurate) so you can get it in writing and save it.
They take it back... Even with an unlock code generated. They also email you a prepaid overnight shipping label too. Its pretty awesome. I've not gotten my refund yet but I only returned it on Friday.

Is it OK to get a full refund if I already open it? What number did you contact for returning? Thank you!
Any experience here with refund after the 14 days?
situation is I'm on my 2nd Moto X, both a had software issues. I'm sure Ill be able to refund it no problem based on my circumstances but just want some feedback. It sucks I really liked this phone.
also anyone recommend a good I can replace this with?
-should cost around 400$ w/ tax
-has to be new and from a legit retailer (not ebay or amazon 3rd party sellers)
-not a nexus 5, I here lot's of those are having some weird microphone volume issue.
-no HUMGO phones lol, something close to the moto size
open to ALL suggestions! thanks!
I made a stupid decision to go with motomaker 32 gig full price instead of the dev edition. My fwd facing camera looks like the gromet or o-ring around the camera is coming off and sliding down partially obscuring the camera. Does anyone know if Moto has allowed people to swap from motomaker full price to dev edition since the cost is the same? Going to call later today when I can get on the phone and see if they'll allow it...

Assuming you didn't use any coupons or extra discounts, you could just return the moto maker one and place a new order for the dev edition, since that's usually how they treat "exchanges" anyway. If you had a coupon or discount that isn't available now, they can offer an advance exchange (where they charge you for the new device then refund it when they receive the old one) but I think that only works for straight moto maker exchanges.
I bought the Moto X Pure Edition last night and they offered insurance for $85. I have had two Samsung devices that I used it for. GPS died on my S5 and speaker died on my S4. Has anyone purchased the insurance for theMoto or feel like they should have?
Absolutely I did. I have it on my 2013 Moto X as well. With how cheap the phone is, the extra $85 is a no brainer. $35 deductible and you're covered no matter what happens to your phone short of loss or theft.
I bought it too. Cheaper than the insurance through Verizon.
I have the insurance. It is better then having a case.

i think u have 30 days to add it. log in on the motorola mobility website and do to "my stuff," you should have the option to buy it. unless this is a verizon phone.
i cracked my screen they replaced no questions asked. they gave me a code to go to moto maker and build a new phone. i could change the color or add premium backs (extra cost, of course) if I wished . phone showed up quick.

This insurance is probably the cheapest you could get. I just looked at squaretrade and its more than Motorola. Will give them a call. Thanks
It's the best deal you're going to find & it's direct work Moto. You're not going to find a better deal plus they cross ship.

I just order a moto x 2014 but I didn't order the extended warranty because I want to think about it some more during the next 30 days. Right now I don't think it is a good deal.
It cost $125 ($85 now, and another $40 if you use it to make a claim).
First, the cost seems way out of line. It is close to 1/3 the cost of the phone (I used the cyber Monday coupon for a 32gb, but if you buy only the 16gb on the coupon, the insurance would be more than 1/3 the cost of the phone.) So I'm paying $125 to insure $410 for months 13 through 24 (the phone already has a 1 year warranty). A year from now, the phone could be replaced with a comparable used phone for less than 2/3 's the original; cost, so at best I'm paying $125 to insure a value of $280 or less. That doesn't make economic sense unless you are Motorola.
Second, although the accident coverage starts with day one, it only cover's "accidents" but excludes "negligence." Does that mean if you drop your phone it is your negligence and not covered? The way the contract is written it appears that it only covers damage cause by the negligence of a third party. It doesn't cover any damage caused by intentional or reckless behavior of anyone. So if your friend negligently bumps you causing you to drop the phone and cracking the screen you are covered. If you drop your phone in the toilet it is your negligence and you are not covered. If your friend takes your phone in a fit of rage and throws it against the wall cracking the screen it is not covered because that would be intentional. The contract requires that you submit a detailed description of how the damage occurred. If you don't hire a lawyer to help you write that description, it will be easy for the insurer to deny coverage. Trying to explain how your friend accidently bumped you while you were holding your phone while standing over the toilet isn't going to sound very credible.
Third, it doesn't cover the battery. Batteries are specifically excluded. The one-year standard warranty covers batteries only if they fail to recharge to at least 80%. That means after one year, if your battery dies or only recharges to 81%, you have a paper weight (one side of which is rounded so it can only be used face down as a paper weight.)
The fact that carriers might charge more for similar insurance doesn't make the Motorola extended warranty any better, it just means the carriers' extended warranties are even less economically viable.
Given all that, it seems to me more economical to save the $125 and use it toward purchase of a new phone if the need arises.

Regarding the value of Motocare, before purchasing my Moto X PE 2014, I purchased a 2013 developer edition for $229 on eBay. Never having used the phone, I wanted to see what the moto love was all about.
I had the DE phone two weeks, dropped it, smashed the screen. Motocare covers for a two year period against accidental damage such as breaking a screen. You can break your screen three times.
Put in a claim, paid $39 for essentially expedited shipping. They sent me new 2013 DE in 4 days. Cross shipped as well.
How the heck can you do better than that? For $85?! For 2 years coverage. You will not find better.
Hi guys, trying to make a big decision here and hoping to get some questions on the X cleared up before I try deciding this. I'm comparing between getting a Moto X Pure edition in 64gb vs. the N6 in 64gb (assuming I can find one in stock ever). I've only ever had phones that were easy to root/rom/etc. though. OG Droid & Galaxy Nexus, also a Nexus 7 2013 for a tablet. I'm assuming the Pure edition already would have 5.x on it, but I wasn't clear if there is an easy way to root it like how on the N7 I just use fastboot to boot a TWRP image and flash SuperSU's flashable .zip whenever an OTA comes around and removes it.
The main thing I use root for anymore though is just so I can do something like run Titanium Backup to transfer saved data between devices (for games for example) or to make a backup before an OTA update in case something goes wrong. I could be living in the stone ages though and maybe there's a better way of doing it now lol.
Other things I'm wondering. I've heard varying reports of battery life. I know this has more to do with individual usage and installed apps/etc. but the battery does seem on the small side especially compared to a Nexus 6. Should I at least be able to expect to get through 10 hours of "normal" email/texting/bit of random gaming and not be on a dead battery? My other concern is whether not having the OIS on the camera like the one in the N6 is much of a problem. I should mention that I'd be coming back to Android (phone-wise) from a Lumia 1020 WP which I went with mostly because of the camera on it. I can't deal with the apps issue any longer though and DXOMark is rating newer android phones as having better cameras anyway. So, camera quality is probably the main concern. On paper the N6 looks better, but I'm just wondering if anyone can advise me on how they compare in the real world.
Going with the X would be great because the size is better, I could do the N6 but it's definitely big. I know I'm mostly drawn to it because "nexus" and 3gb of RAM and the camera. On the other hand I can get a 64gb Pure Edition X for like $125 less since moto-maker is showing $100 off right now. Oh, yeah, I'll be paying full price as I'm 1 year into the 2 year contract with AT&T on my Lumia.
Well that's a difficult decision since sizes are for me almost more relevant thing vs 3gb ram bigger battery different camera.
Rooting side victara is pretty easy, bootloader idem but at the moment we have only few people (making a huge work) working on moto x 2014 modding, maybe for n6 you can find a lot more "options"
Root for victara (for now) is only bootable with img file, no flashable zip as i know at the moment.
So i can only remember to you that size question is for me more important as the other things together.
Ps. Victara battery isn't so big but +4 hours on screen time is easy to achieve.

Thanks. Yeah I'm not necessarily looking for roms. I'm actually currently running rooted stock with unlocked bootloader on my N7 and totally happy with that and would probably do the same whether I end up with an X or N6 for the phone. I just wasn't sure about rooting on the X. As I said I'd be getting the Pure Edition which sounds kind of like a Google Play Edition/Developer Edition type of thing where I shouldn't have any issues unlocking and rooting it if I'm understanding correctly. I did figure out after looking closer at Moto's website that the $100 off I was seeing ends on Saturday so I guess I better figure this out quick.

The Pure edition is the way to go. Zero bloat, unlockable boot loader, easy root, fastest updates. The N6 is nice, but it is way too big IMO. The X has all the awesome Moto add ons (display, voice, actions), its performance is great, and it runs near stock android which IMO makes it every bit as good as a Nexus, if not better because of the add ons. Also, the motomaker customizations are amazing. I have a leather one, and I'm still blown away by the build quality and general maturity of it. Seriously, every other phone feels like a toy compared to it. Also, you absolutely cannot beat the price. It's an incredible value, especially with the $100 off.
Thanks. Yeah I'm really leaning towards the X now even though I want to in the back of my mind say N6 on principal of the whole "it's a nexus" "roms" etc. A friend at work also passed on a $140 discount code to me just now which actually only adds $40 to the $100 off promo Moto is already running but still, that's a 64GB X with turbo charger and leather back for $575 vs. $715 for just a 32GB N6 so estimating $770 with tax for a 64GB of that. Yeah, now that I look at that, the choice is becoming a lot more clear
Anyone have any input on ordering it with the Moto Care accident protection for $85 extra? I'm usually very good with my phones although I did manage to crack a corner of the screen on my current phone because I wasn't paying attention and forgot that it was on my leg before jumping out of a lifted vehicle in my driveway......oops.

Definitely get the Moto care. I have it on both my X's (2013+2014). Haven't had to use it, but it's comforting to know that I'm covered.
@flyinion. The discount has been extended until the 17th, in case you need a day or two to decide. It's in the news on all the big Android websites

Thanks, yep I saw the $140 code my co-worker gave me is extended, I think I may have been talking about the $100 promo Moto currently has on their entire site because I didn't know about the other $140 one at the time.
I was in the same position as you a month a few months a go. I decided to go for the Moto X for the following reasons:
1. Size, I was worried the Nexus 6 was just too big. Though I never got to handle one, still haven't now.
2. Availability. I just couldn't get a Nexus 6 around Xmas time in the UK. And eventually got impatient.
3. Price. Motorola was offering £100 off when it first came out. No brainer really. In the end I used my free network upgrade got an iPhone 6 sold that on eBay for £480 (which promptly broke, lol) and bought a Moto X for £380 and stuck it on the iPhone 6's tariff.
4. Looks. Though I did really like the look of the Midnight Blue Nexus 6, I fell in love with the look of a Moto X with Bamboo back.
With regards how long the battery lasts it is really dependent on how much you hammer the phone. Today I've used it quite intensively hitting on the GPU with a lot of gaming and its now about to die at 9pm. However I've had the day off work, hanging around on my own so its practically always been in my hand. When at work or doing other activities I usually have about 30% come the end of the day.
Just to complicate things further you might also want to consider importing a Moto Maxx XT1225.

Hmmm, just based on a quick search, for that price I might as well just go with the N6 though. It would actually be cheaper I'm pretty sure at this point it's going to be an X in either leather which will hit at about 575 with the 140 discount and taxes or 550 if I decide to go with the plastic back. (that price includes tossing a turbo charger in as well)
One thing to consider is the the leather is meant to mark quite easily so you may want to invest in a case.
I have one and put it on if I think the phone might pick up some knocks, when my daughter wants to play with it, a night out etc.

Yeah I'm not worried about that. I saw the Droid Life article about how the lighter colored leather has aged over 3 months and I actually think it looks really nice like that. I think I'm 99.9% sure I'll be going with the X now instead of the Nexus and probably ordering later today. Stopping by a store one last time to see it in person.
Well, just ordered a Moto X with a $140 off code. Really went round and round trying to figure out what design to go with . I was trying to do something with the white face to be a little different but in the end I went with Cognac, black front, red trim, 64GB pure edition, and added in a turbo charger and the 2 year warranty thing. They must have had a ton of orders. When I started looking a couple days ago shipping was about 8 days. Now I have a two week wait

I ordered my 32GB Moto X on Tuesday the 10th, estimated arrival was Wednesday the 18th. It ended up arriving yesterday (Friday) morning. So you may get it early. So far I'm really liking it, especially the active display. I've only used Nexus for the past 3 years, but due to price increase and size I chose to skip the N6. The $140 off brought the total price down to $440, same as my N5 I've been using since it came out (until I shattered the screen dropping onto concrete).

Ah that would be cool. Unfortunately I now need to call Moto in the morning to find out if my order actually went through. My credit card sent a "did you really do this" text and we replied yes and I didn't bother to check my email till later as everything looked fine when I went through the order process. Looked at my email a few hours later and saw a "your order has been cancelled" email due to the card being denied, yet nothing on the Moto site shows it as cancelled just that it hasn't shipped yet. The card showed a pending $0 charge and a pending one for the real amount so I don't know if they automatically retried it and just never sent a followup email

Wow you weren't kidding about the timing. I ordered on Sunday after the fiasco with the credit card on Saturday. Got an email this morning that it shipped already even though it had said 3-2-14 when I ordered. FedEx site says it will be here Monday, shipping email from Moto said Friday the 27th.
So I ended up cracking my screen, again. Luckily Verizon is replacing it as my first screen repair wasn't registered or they're just being nice.
However, when I thought I'd be dealing with a broken phone I started looking at new phones and would love the 6P.
If I stick with the Turbo I'll have a nice refurbed device but I'll have to pay the $25 for Sunshine again.
However, I should be able to get $200 for the "new" device via Swappa or Craigslist and save the $25 on Sunshine.
I could then get a nice new Nexus 6P for $425 via Best Buy's current promo with the gold or use Swappa and get a 64gb for $500. In a case the device should be able to hold resell value so when the new M10, Nexus, or whatever releases I should be able to continue upgrading every year for ~$100.
$300 for a new device really isn't too bad in my eyes especially when my line will be saving $25 a month on our current Verizon plan when I don't upgrade through them.
Thoughts?
So you cracked your screen for a second time and were able to use the free screen replacement that Verizon offers for a second time? The only reason I asked is I just cracked my 2nd turbo after using the free screen replacement last June and was wondering if I could get by using it again?
Sorry to be a little off topic but the only thing I know about the 6P is it appears to be a little to big but looks like a fine phone.

So I ended up cracking my screen, again. Luckily Verizon is replacing it as my first screen repair wasn't registered or they're just being nice.
However, when I thought I'd be dealing with a broken phone I started looking at new phones and would love the 6P.
If I stick with the Turbo I'll have a nice refurbed device but I'll have to pay the $25 for Sunshine again.
However, I should be able to get $200 for the "new" device via Swappa or Craigslist and save the $25 on Sunshine.
I could then get a nice new Nexus 6P for $425 via Best Buy's current promo with the gold or use Swappa and get a 64gb for $500. In a case the device should be able to hold resell value so when the new M10, Nexus, or whatever releases I should be able to continue upgrading every year for ~$100.
$300 for a new device really isn't too bad in my eyes especially when my line will be saving $25 a month on our current Verizon plan when I don't upgrade through them.
Thoughts?

It's a big phone. My wife has the 5x and even that feels bigger, if lighter, in the hand. It will have a great camera though if that's your thing.

I should have asked this earlier but did you do the replacement through the verizon's website or did you take it to a store?
Thanks in advance.
If you're okay with the size, go Nexus. The size was the deal breaker for me.

Verizon's online chat client.
And yeah the size is definitely a turn off to me. Definitely thinking hard about this one!
Id go Nexus, and dump Verizon and go with Google Fi. Cant wait till 5/17!!!!
