A Pure Edition? Sounds great. Will it be on Verizon? Probably not, but I sure hope so.

Erm... no. Even if it does, they won't allow it to activate on their network. See: Nexus 5. But I guess maybe VoLTE will allow unlocked phones on their network, I'm not sure the FCC ruling on it.But you can certainly bring your unlocked Pure Edition to Verizon if it supports the frequencies.
What? 2014 and Verizon doesn't let you bring your own device to the network? Even Mexican carriers let you do that, and they're not the most technologically advanced of the bunch haha My bad if I misspoke, I've only dealt with AT&T and T-Mobile here in the US, never thought that Big Red would limit their network like that.
But even if they're CDMA couldn't you just call them and give them the device ID for registration on their network? I know I did this with Mexico's CDMA carrier once with the OG MotoDroid.
Unless the device doesn't support CDMA then yeah, I understand why they couldn't do that. But if your phone does support it and it's only a matter of activating the IMEI, what's the big deal? Oh well, it's their policies. I haven't used CDMA in years.
Question. And totally of subject. I really am enjoying the way we can customize the Moto X and I see that it starts at 499.00.
Are the going to charge extra for the type of backs that you chose?
This coming from a Blackberry user, lol.

The unbranded, unlocked version of Motorola's new Moto X will go by the name Moto X Pure Edition. While it will still retain Motorola's custom software tweaks, it will lack any of the carrier software found in the different branded versions of the device. It will also be sold directly by Motorola. If this sounds familiar, it's exactly what Motorola did with the original 2013 Moto X, except it didn't have a name.
If it is a model they approve, then yes you can bring any device. But if it is not a specific model, they do not let you use it.But even if they're CDMA couldn't you just call them and give them the device ID for registration on their network?

Not bad at all. I'll spend a little more to get what I want.
Thanks

Didn't we already go through all of this with the Nexus 7 on Verizon? Aren't they obligated by law to activate devices that work on their frequencies? Wasn't it part of the agreement they signed during some recent spectrum auction?
It will probably be unlocked kind of like a Nexus 5. I hope they don't increase the price too much.A Pure Edition? Sounds great. Will it be on Verizon? Probably not, but I sure hope so.
