To start with. Hopefully that means we're not far out for the launch?

Yeah. I'm wondering What's the holdup on the release dates

 

[1901Madison]

Seriously. I assume the phone will be released by Verizon in July. Why the hold up on letting the public know the exact date of release?

This is wishful thinking but maybe they are waiting on daydream certification and will slap some stickers on the box if they get it.

Not gonna lie, I had no interest in this phone when it was announced. That being said, after hearing some very positive first impressions, I am definitely interested now. This whole Verizon exclusivity is a killer though. Really hurting any chance that the phone has for success.

Exclusive for like a month...

Yeah, but it's pushing the phone back to compete with the Note 7, iPhone 7, and new Nexus devices. Not a smart move imo.

Verizon phones tend to work on most or all of the other networks.

Agree. Moto should have taken a page from 1+ and announced it and released it right away. Moto will see exclusives hurt, just ask HTC about carrier exclusives, and you will see why they are in the shape they are in now. Risky move going against the note 7 and iPhone.

Where did you see news of release on the 28th?

It was on one of the articles that covered it at the launch event. Let me see if I can find it.

Mashable leaked the 21th for preorders and 28th for release as well as the prices $624/$720.

A little web search gave me this. When you click on the link it has been pulled. Think it's safe to say they leaked it and weren't supposed to

Droid-life (who was at the event) responded to this in the comment section of one of their stories by saying roughly 'I don't know what some people don't understand about blackout periods'. Not an endorsement of the validity of the mashable post, but not a disendorsement (I made that word up I think).

Hopefully the NDA/blackout ends soon so we can see some reviews and other info.

 

[robertopod1968]

Think we will see the blackout end this Thursday along with an announcement that they are available for preorder to ship the following Thursday.

I thought someone said available in stores on July 28.

 

[robertopod1968]

That's what I meant. Preorder to receive on Thursday the 28th or pickup in store on that day also

Good morning, boys and girls!
