Where is the Developer Edition?

- Start date
Actually they have added the 7 days to ship clause in the Order Receipt email I received. Not sure why they dont do this in the Order page in the first place!

Quick question on the developers edition
From what I just read, unless I'm wrong hence the question, the developers edition gives you an extra 16 gig over the normal X (unless you purchased one with 32) and a black face with white woven back along with a developer edition emblem. Besides the unlocked phone that's pretty much it right?
If thats true, why not just go to the moto site and unlock your existing X and call it a day?

Am I accurate? Just trying to decide if i should order another one to play with or should i just do it on the one I have using the moto info

One of the dev editions is specific to Verizon, which does not otherwise support unlocking the bootloader. The GSM version can be used on any GSM carrier, works on AT&T (also doesn't support unlocked bootloaders) and T-Mobile, etc. Currently on Verizon and T-Mobile it's the only way to get a 32GB version and on AT&T it's the only way to get an unlocked version.

I guess I am confused because if I had ordered it using Moto Maker on AT&T on a Wednesday I would have gotten the phone Saturday or Monday. The phone would have been custom built and shipped out and in my hands in 4 days.
So instead, I ordered a phone that was already built and in stock and after 4 days it still has not shipped. I am sorry but WTF Motorola?

Yeah, they botched it pretty good. I ordered it as soon as I knew it went live. I just got my shipping confirmation 20 minutes ago.
Can you tell my ingnorant self what the developer edition is and what an unlocked bootloader does? Sorry if its been answered

An unlocked bootloader means that the user has write access to the bootloader. This is typically used to facilitate flashing custom ROMs, kernels, etc. and generally to make software modifications to the device that would otherwise be restricted.

Mine is showing as shipped and in transit. Looking like delivery this Wednesday. I'm not a huge fan of how this all went down. Moto has some work to do on this stuff.
When did you order yours? I don't mean to be impatient, but I'm away on vacation this week and ordered mine to be delivered where we are thinking I wanted to get them while in stock and it'd be nice to have on the trip. Now I'm worried it won't make it until after I head back home later in the week. Doh! Lesson learned.
They haven't. I don't suggest you hold your breath until it's released, however.

Mine has not shipped either, ordered it on Wednesday, got confirmation email at 3:15 PM EDT. I just think they weren't expecting so many people to order it and thought they could actually get it to us in two days, but that is obviously not the case.
The CSR's I spoke to on the phone said it could take up to 7-10 days for processing. The CSR I talked to said I should have it by this week or early next week, I'm just hoping to have it by this week.
I know people over on XDA have gotten emails that their phones have been shipped. I guess that's a good sign, although I haven't seen anyone post that their phone has been shipped today (Monday). I guess we'll just have to wait it out and see.
It would've been nice if Motorola had sent an email to all of us that bought the Dev editions and just let us know that the phones would take longer than expected to be delivered.
