Hello All,
Just officially signed up to this forum as I've exhausted all of my research.
Background:
In Dec, I jumped on the bandwagon and purchased 2 phones that were advertised as 1st Gen Moto X DEV Edition XT1060 - Verizon from a 3rd party vendor on EBAY. There were quite a few sold on this vendor site (many of you were probably also looking at this phone due to the good price). I have already read the post-purchase vendor reviews to see if anyone experienced what has happened to me and didn't see any negative reviews. Anyway, just got the phones on Friday and was preparing to finally put my Droid X's to rest and activate the Moto X's. After opening the phones, I was disappointed to not see the "Developer Edition" imprint on the back of either phone, meaning that I believe that I have the standard plain-jane consumer 1st gen Moto X - Verizon .
All of my research (the XDA and various other sites) indicates that if there is no "Developer Edition" imprinted on the back, then it is not a Moto X Dev Edition...period. Before I call the vendor tomorrow and raise cain with them, I was wondering if there is any other way I can determine if I have DEV edition phone WITHOUT powering up the phones because I don't want to activate these phones in case I decide to return them for a refund. Can I confirm simply by the IMEI number and without calling/chatting with Motorola direct. I'm also tracking that the warranty doesn't apply if not purchased from Motorola direct.
I understand that the bootloader can still be unlocked on a non-DEV version (thus voiding warranty) and I can still achieve my rooting/tethering etc, but that's not the point. The point is that I believe I have received a product that is not what I paid for as advertised by the vendor. Funny thing is that the factory sticker on the boxes the phones came in lists the phone as a MOTXT1060DEV, but again, not DEV Edition imprint on the back of the phone.
Appreciate the help from the Moto X subject matter experts on this site.
