Soak Test Invite Time

Its for sure the camera... I just hope it also unlocks band 4 LTE. That would be sweet as hell!!!

Some on the moto x forum mentioned improved idle drain in addition to the camera improvement

What is the benefit of that?

Opens up more pipes in the bandwidth line and allows for faster speeds. Right now, Verizon uses Band 13 I believe, but now that 99% of the country is on that band with Verizon, they are ready to open up some new lanes on the highway, which is what Band 4 is. Phones older than the S4 won't have it with a few exceptions here and there.

This also allows you to use T-Mobile's frequency as well if you want to switch SIM's with T-Mobile since they're system is already in Band 4. Some of the other companies also use Band 4 in other countries, which makes for having more LTE options available. The Maxx is a world phone at the same time.

You should see significant speed increases. Right now though, New York is the only city that has Band 4 Verizon I believe, with the other major cities coming this November.
 
How does one receive an invite to the soak testing?

I really hope this is the case as well. I'm only hopeful since the new S4 update is unlocking it, but we'll see if this Droid update is simply a "port" of the Moto X update...
 
Update pushing out tomorrow for those that signed up...
