VZW anyone buying this on thursday?

I thought the ultra had a higher resolution screen, but I guess it's just larger. Upon looking at the spec sheet I can see no reason to pick the ultra since the x actually has a bigger battery and a more stock android experience.

The Ultra has a bigger screen (with slightly lower resolution), capacitive buttons instead of on-screen buttons, Droid Zap, and potentially much more Verizon bloatware. Other than that, the only difference is external construction.

I'll be ordering a white MotoX as soon as I can. Hope it arrives before or during the weekend. It would be nice if I could preorder the phone so I can stop worrying about the damn thing to be available and just wait.

I did some math and if you're getting a $300 phone, like the Droid Maxx, it doesn't work out too badly. $330 for the Max on typical upgrade. $350 for the Max on one year of EDGE and you get to upgrade after that year. Not to mention you only pay like 28 bucks when you grab the phone.

the one i'd custom design would probably be the same as the woven black stock one anyhow, aside from maybe the silver accents instead of the black. not enough to make me wait. really the only thing that i'm on the fence on is the 16 gb vs 32 gb.

What is kind of ridiculous is that while Verizon considers Droid Zap to be a reason to get one of the Droids instead of a Moto X, Droid Zap is actually in Google Play for anyone to download to their phone.

It is on Google Play so people can set up their phone to receive Zaps. They cannot use it to send them.

I have a Maxx, and I doubt I will use this feature much. Sharing means 2 ways to me.

And so is most of the groundbreaking Moto X software. I know that it pains you to the hear this but the Moto X is just simply another droid. Its not the gnex that you are dreaming it is.......

I got the HTC One on VZW last Thursday, but I will be ordering the X tomorrow. I was on the fence between the two, and I have seven days left in my return period for the One, so a few days with both phones should help me decide.

I will be ordering the X tomorrow as well.

Good idea. Can't imagine that you will be sending the HTC back but it doesn't hurt to try I guess.

The Moto X isn't anything like a Droid. IT actually has aesthetics, which NONE of the Droids have EVER had.

Yeah I bet it's going to look really good laying on the table hooked up to the charger all the time

Dude, stop being a troll.

Some people don't want to carry around a tablet in their pocket, nor do they need a huge 5" screen. Some work for a living and don't need the battery life to stream 20GB worth of movies every day, so they don't need a 3500mAh battery.

Honestly, that's all the Maxx has going for it. I'll stick to a phone that fits great in my pocket and my hand. Since you already have the Maxx, why are you even in this thread?

Waiting to see if there actually will be a 32gig Dev edition for Verizon.. if not, then I'm not sure what I'll do

 

[Wildo6882]

If there was a 32gb version coming out tomorrow I'd be buying. I am somewhat of an app hoarder and I always like to have the extra space. If the Dev Edition comes out and has a 32gb option that works on VZW I'll probably jump on it. I buy phones outright anyway (and sell them when my addiction has me move to a new phone), so this one would be no different. I refuse to get the VZW Edge program. I don't want to lose unlimited and it feels like I'm just getting scammed, again, by a ginormous company. I couldn't care less about Moto Maker. I think it's a GREAT idea, just isn't for me. I'd probably just get a black one anyway, maybe add in some silver highlights like someone else said. But other than that it would be jet black.

 

[sunburned]

The x is a droid

No, it's not.

What time does verizon usually update its website with the new phones?
