The Moto Z Play Droid is now available for $408 plus the outrageous $20 upgrade fee.

Verizon is gonna Verizon.

As someone who's still using a 2014 moto x, this phone seems like a nice upgrade. Shame Moto doesn't update their phones. I'm tempted by the battery and moto features I've become so used to... but... no thanks, Lenovo.

Why is this a no for you?

Software support. Moto sells you what's on the shelf, and that's what you get, forever. I went to see the phone this morning, it's pretty nice, maybe a little awkward in the hand (I miss their slim bezels). I would have bought it if my Moto x had gotten some security updates along the way, or a Marshmallow update. It's not like they had 30 different flagships to support... they could have done better.

Fair enough. I'm hooked on the active display so I am giving this phone a shot in lieu of no Moto X this year. Not paying $700 for a phone, and won't pay subsidized to lose UDP.

And if you have any warranty issues you have to deal with Lenovo. I you buy at Verizon and add the protection, you deal with them and next day service.
I'm not sure if that's true. In the past as long as I have had the warranty protection on my phone plan and Verizon carries it, doesn't matter where I originally bought the phone.

Not the same. If it a mechanical failure is covered under warranty, why would you go thru your insurance? That costs you a deductible. And why would I not want the configuration I paid for? You have to go to the manufacturer for warranty repairs. My Droid Turbo 2 developed the "green line" issue and Verizon would not handle the repair since I had not bought one of the pre configurations in the store, I had to deal with Lenovo myself. Had an issue years before with Moto X configured thru Moto maker, same deal.
