I believe the "over 2000 combinations" estimate also includes the available boot screen customization as well.
Right. I'm thinking the iPhone 5C would just allow engraving.
I've read that the X is available in 504 or 2000-some different combinations. I'm not sure which figure is correct.
I just got home from day two of Lollapalooza. While I was up front for The Postal Service, I was fiddling with my Galaxy Nexus.
Hope your wait in line (?) was a short one and the "girl next 2 U" made your wait in line even more enjoyable. We try harder now that most of the X phones people order will be delivered by us.
Life's too short to have regrets. There will always be a rumored phone just around the corner. Buy the HTC One and don't look back. Do you really want to buy a 720, 16 GB storage, dual core S4 device with a locked boot loader who's only hype is software based ? Buy the HTC One, unlock it in five minutes, and install Android Revolution HD, enjoy it, and go on with life. Besides, I had installed the free Auto Screen On app, the screen would turn on when I unholstered the phone. Now that I am running 4.2.2, I have the volume button mapped to turn it on.
Won't the 720 screen have some benefits over over 1080 anyways, like using less bandwidth or improved battery life? If so then I'd consider the screen a plus.

I've always been a Moto guy and I hope they have a hit too. And from reading more and more reviews from people who have had the phone for a few days I'm quite a bit less upset about what the phone is capable of then when it was first announced. But I still think that strongly marketing a feature that isn't available to most people will backfire. I think they should have marketed all of the features that you can get on any carrier and let AT&T handle marketing the fact that it is customizable for them.
I agree with much that's been said here. On AndroidCentral.com, this device is a *hyooj* flop. At your local AT&T store, it's a miracle phone in the eyes of your average consumer.

"You mean, I can make it any color I want? Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?"
"YOU MEAN IT KNOWS WHEN I TAKE IT OUT OF MY POCKET AND WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE? GET OUTTA TOWN."
Tech Geek:
"This spec sheet is atrocious. I'm not paying $200 for anything less than 1080p and octacore processing!"
People forget that value is, quite literally, the perceived benefits of a product divided by its cost. If you believe you'll receive the most benefit from higher spec sheet numbers, then perhaps this phone represents poor value. If you believe things like a fairly stock Android experience, intuitive UI features, attractive design, active voice control, SmartActions, and so on come at a premium, then $200 is a steal.
Moral of the story: it's all subjective, and lucky for everyone there are lots of great options available right now for Android -- which is more than can be said for its competitors!
Go take a look at the commercials. Although the ones we've seen so far have the designed by you tag in them, none deal specifically with the customization. They are not marketing that heavily.
I've only seen two commercials. They each go through a specific feature and then spend the last few seconds cycling through different colors with the "designed by you" tag up on the screen. That's pretty heavy marketing. They draw you in with a feature but then want the final, lasting impression that seals the deal to be "designed by you"

Sorry, no. Those commercials are advertising those specific features. The last bit directs them to the website and is not the focus of those commercials.
Ok, gotcha. I'm a little thick sometimes. What i don't understand then is on the commercial for the always on feature, why not just have the phone in an empty room with some offscreen voice giving commands? And why do they bother showing the different colors? Why not just put the website in black letters against a white backing?

Did you even read the review? I've got a shiny nickel I'm willing to bet that you didn't.Droid-life review is up... Battery life pretty much sucks just like almost every Android phone. I knew 2200mah wasn't going to cut it. Should have just bumped up the specs and the battery some, would have gave you the same amount of battery life.
This phone should have had a huge battery. Its not exactly the thinest of the bunch.

While we wish the Moto X had a giganto battery like the new Droid MAXX for Verizon, we are happy to report that battery life here is rock solid. Even with very heavy usage (tons of web browsing, navigation, phone calls, and playing HD games every chance we got) we'd generally make it to 1am with 15 percent battery to spare. We'd expect a normal, lighter user to get the 24 hours Motorola claims, no problem. That's particularly impressive given that, again the Moto X is listening for your trigger command and often lighting up part of the screen to display icons. It milks that 2200 mAh battery for all it's worth, and handily outlasts the Galaxy S4, HTC One, and iPhone 5.
