Motorola said that the Moto X Style would be compatible with any US carrier, and Republic was listed briefly with other carriers as being compatible. However, in the past Republic has had to use a tweaked version of Android to enable its signature Wi-Fi calling and texting features -think Project Fi - which added months to releases of the phones and their software updates (I just got Lollipop about 3 weeks ago). I hope these are built in to all of the phones on the initial launch day, but the removal of Republic as a carrier from the website suggests otherwise.
