US Cellular is only getting the 32 and 64GB variants. I'll probably go with the 64. It'll still be a giant step up from my old S3.

I have a 2013 Moto X developer edition and did a repair request. After a couple days I called to figure out what was up and after 1 hour they couldn't find any replacements and gave me a 2014 Moto X Pin. Does anyone have any opinion on the back options. I hadn't planned this so have no idea what the Motorola backs are like. I tried a Bamboo backed Moto X once and found it really slippery. I'd like a phone that doesn't slip and am considering the Red Leather option. Does anyone have a customized Moto X and have an opinion about the back options?

comper posted:Fair enough. I've just seen a lot of reviews of the S5/Note 4 where they get the international Exynos versions before/after release and they just pop in their T-Mobile/ATT SIM cards and they work just fine. Same with that Xiaomi Note and the G3 that was released earlier in Korea than the US. Maybe it is different with the S6/Edge but we will see. You know what, this is a good point. I have a SNEAKING suspicion that they only test the international phones on 3g or HSPA+ (differs if people call hspa+ 4g or not). Most phones (including international versions) seem to support 3g/4g but rarely LTE in the US due to market segmentation. For example: the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 sold in the US Market supports wildly different LTE bands then the Chinese/SE Asian models. Someone more knowledgeable then I may want to weigh in on it, but I don't recommend buying an international model of ANY phone if LTE in the US is a concern.

No dumb beeping and the indicator light just glows green when charging. Word of warning though, it is lighter in weight and doesn't have rubber feet, so depending on where you put it the pad might not be substantial enough to stay put. The USB cord tension kept moving the pad around on my nightstand. I put some rubber feet on mine and it stays in place so there's that. Anyway, hope that helps. Qi charging is the best thing ever.

I might just end up keeping it and throwing it on the nightstand or a desk or something at home. The light can easily be covered with a piece of tape if need be. I bought this to use at work where I pick up my phone a few times here and there so that beeping isn't the best for that. At home, having it in a spot where a phone will sit on it for a longer period of time won't be as much of an issue unless it's one of those chargers that beeps periodically through the night when the charge went down a bit and it starts charging again. I'm about charged to 100% on it now, so I guess I'll find out if that is the case soon.

Right, I did some research on my own just because I was curious and there seem to be mixed cases depending on the phone. A lot of them do work just fine including LTE but others only on 3G/HSPA. It all comes down to what frequencies they support so like you said in your original post, just verify the phone supports your carrier's bands before purchasing and it should be alright, someone else is bound to try it with the S6/S6 Edge I'm sure. Also, just got my shipping notification from Verizon for my Edge. Should have it tomorrow, a day earlier than I expected, so that's neat. haha

Nice. I'm still torn on what to upgrade to from my 2013 moto x so more goon reviews are always appreciated. Buying straight cash means I plan on waiting a bit longer for consensus. M9 is out, not sure if 2014 moto x would be a big enough upgrade and the Nexus 6 doesn't do much for me. Waiting to see some reviews for the Zenfone 2 but man, this S6/Edge hype is getting to me..

Some of the soft touch backs are a different material, so I can only speak about the blue ones, which are really pleasant to hold and very grippy. I'd get one of those if I was to buy a new Moto X. The wood is way too slippery.
