Cancelled my Google Play order and got from Motorola, cheaper shipping and I don't think I will have to pay sales tax. Order from Google wasn't supposed to ship until 12/24, Motorola says 12/19.
They are gone now. Darn...

I ordered mine as well. I think shipping was free, but you did have to pay tax.
I just looked at Moto's terms of sale page and it doesn't say where sales tax applies. I wish all online sellers would specify that -- some do.
I'll bet the price comes down in the next couple of months.
At least it seems to be available (both 32Gb versions, no for the 64s) as of a couple of minutes ago.
Motorola is required to collect sales tax on sales shipped to any state wherein they have a physical business presence. Even if they don't collect it do to not operating in your state, though, you're still responsible for reporting and paying a 'use' tax (self-reported sales tax, essentially) on goods where the seller did not collect it on the State's behalf in almost every state - just google your state and "use tax" to find out if and how it applies. Point being, unless one plans on essentially committing tax fraud, one won't save the cost of taxes by going with one online seller over another, or over a local store.
Also, on point to the thread, but MB and CW 32GB models in stock as of this posting. Go get 'em!
I realize I'm still on the fence about which storage variant to get, in terms of futureproofing. I'm not a gamer, nor do I download many apps, except to try them out on recommendation. The 64 GB CW is tempting, but the price isn't. How can I be sure the 32 GB variant will have enough storage to handle Android M, N, and possibly O? I have a 16 GB S3 right now, and I'm using up just over 4 GB of space, not including the 4+ GB the system takes up. Just over 3 GB that I've used is dedicated to music. It's a hard choice.
