Now Available from Verizon

[nemov]

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

Verizon is gonna Verizon.

See my post below, you can order direct from Motorola

Awesome. I thought I read they were enforcing that fee on phones purchases elsewhere as well.

My order just had tax, no upgrade fee involved

This is my understanding as well. Tax, but no upgrade fee.

Verizon online orders no upgrade fee.

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.

Mine had one before I cancelled it. Did you buy outright or get a subsidized price?

Why is this a no for you?

 

[honda1k]

Sorry that's what I was told. I'm waiting to order when otterbox has a case for it.

 

[azdmelani]

You're right- online only waived activation fee

What a great price. If I didn't have my Force I would be tempted.

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.

Anyone have the Z Play Droid yet? This phone looks better to me than the new Iphone.

Saw it at the store today. Phone is pimp.

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.

Since Verizon didn't carry the past two unlocked versions of the Moto X, it was not available for warranty protection.

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.
