I just received my Bamboo Moto X. I am currently on a Samsung GS3. Other than being very "white" (I usually prefer dark colors but I wanted to get white front face to match the mandatory white bamboo bezel on the back), I am mostly impressed with the device.
It has quite a bit of heft to it. It feels solid, but I have a minor quip about the build quality. There is a slight "bulge" in the bamboo bezel (see first picture). There is also a noticeable dark "edge" around the bamboo (see second picture). Almost like it's dirty or smudged. I wonder if this is an effect of the manufacturing process - maybe glue residue or something. Engadget's Saturday unboxing unit seemed to have the same issue.
Anyone else get one of these? Any similar experiences with the bamboo? I'm tempted to try to clean it a bit, then use the 30-day return window if it won't go away. I'm not thrilled about the dirty look on the edges - it just looks a little grimy.

Thanks!
