Moto Maker: Unlocked GSM Moto X (with NET10 SIM) $299.99 through 7/16

[Mes3]

Motorola canceled my order for no reason other than I guess they felt like it. Oh well.

Anybody know how to determine which model it is once it arrives?

You're supposed to see it on the outside of the box somewhere near the barcodes.

The outside of my box has nothing that shows the model (I'm looking at it right now).

Let the stampede begin!

Can you only use it on Net10 or is it truly unlocked to put on any GSM carrier like MetroPCS? thanks

Sorry for this if its late/naive, but then does it mean its confirmed that the phone is unlocked and can be used with any SIM internationally on a GSM network?

So far, we've been able to confirm the model number.

Motorola advertises it as an "unlocked GSM phone with a NET10 SIM installed". This should mean that the phone is not SIM locked at all.

Why do they never include the model number. If it is an XT1053, I'm in for one. I don't want a phone with Net10 customized firmware on it.

Whats special about the XT1053? I have an unlocked one here in Mexico. I didn't know my device was special.

The big advantage is that it shouldn't come with any carrier "bloatware", the added software that carriers like to add to their phones. Additionally, it has all the frequencies for people who use T-Mobile.

I just ordered my phone, though it shows it will be next Tuesday (a week from tomorrow) before I get it. One thing that makes me feel better about ordering the Net10 version, that this is the generic XT1053, is how it shows that Net10 SIM kit as a free bonus to the purchase. It is listed on the receipt the same way the Skip is listed.

OK. That's true, my Moto X has no carrier software.

So has anyone received the Moto X yet? I received notification that mine is being assembled and feel a bit like a little kid waiting for Christmas.

Moto Maker told me it wouldn't ship until 7-22.

I'm receiving mine today, will update tonight...

Update: received and it works perfectly fine on Cricket Wireless (runs on at&t network).. i would guess it would have no problems on t-mo as well... there is no carrier branding or bloatware. it just came with a net10 sim activation kit...

I was quoted a date of the 22nd for mine to be delivered. I'm hoping to have it sooner based on others experiences. It seems as if Motorola pads their dates somewhat, with most I've seen saying they got their phone early. Looking at other threads, it appears that frequently people received their phone within 3 business days of when they got the email notifying them it was being assembled. While I'm not counting on it, if this holds true, I could have my phone Friday.

So it is indeed XT1053 right?

I dont know how to find if it is XT1053, but if you read my previous post, I asked a motorola rep about my phone details after placing the order...
He replied with this script - "right, I've check the details of your order and it is Moto X Net 10 - 1 of OPTN,XT1053-AFX,16GB,BLK,ENDO model."

So I believe it is XT1053, but I dont know how to confirm that on my phone or on the box...

No, it doesn't say on the box but in small print at the bottom of the back cover of my original phone it shows, among other things, the model number: XT1053. When plugged into my PC it shows only as XT1053.

Please check...an hour and a half till midnight!

Please check...an hour and a half till midnight!

please go ahead and order right now! i confirmed in 3 places...
1) in the back cover of the phone (it is extremely difficult to see atleast on a woven white back)
2) connected to computer and comp says xt1053
3) at the 'Set up wi-fi hotspot' setting, the default hotspot name starts with 'XT 1053.. blah blah"

so yes.. definitely xt1053...
