I was. Then they offered me $300 off on Black Friday only. Had to change my whole plan around but new phone on payment plan for $324, which I can pay off selling my Turbo, AND saved me $60 a month overall. Deal.

I have to say this. I have read several reviews that say the new Droid (Turbo 2) is a very utilitarian design, meant for the rugged types. Who the heck are these reviewers? After holding this thing it is as sleek, modern and cool looking as any Samsung, HTC, LG or iPhone I saw in the Verizon store.

I got mine today. Ordered it on Black Friday. I got the designed by you 64GB version for 420.00 after 300.00 in discounts. They also gave me 200.00 in account credit for my Razor Maxx HD which I've stuck with for over 3 years now. So far I'm pretty happy with it.

Need MOAR PICTURES.

This whole "1 free redesign" thing is pretty damn fantastic, too.

I have also read some reviews that also say things like that. I have not held a T2 yet, but I think most reviews are directly comparing it to the S6, iPhone 6, G4. Frankly I think the G4\G3 feels so very lux in the hand. Small bezels and that curved back really make it feel a bit more premium then my T1. Same with the S6 Edge. Feels GOOD in the hand.
Not that the T1 feels bad or "brick like" to me. Not even a tiny bit. But directly comparing it to my favoritley designed phone, G3/G4, it doesn't feel AS modern. So I believe review sites are overblowing it a bit. Making it sound much worse then it is.

Although I do agree from pics I've seen: do NOT get the White T2.

I probably should have paid the extra for the 64GB and one free re-design, but I didn't. 32GB phone with a 32GB SD card should be plenty for me. For me personally, I did not like the way the S6 Edge felt....too slippery and awkward to hold. But that's just my opinion, we all have to find a phone that we like and feel comfortable carrying around. I also agree that I was not crazy about the white soft grip back on the T2. I can see that becoming very faded and dirty looking over time. Got mine all setup & running last night & like it a lot so far.

The one review I read didn't like the white because you can see all the sensors and everything on the front.

Look at this thing:

Bleh... no offense to anyone that got one but ... bleh.

I didn't think I'd like the S6 Edge at all. Surprised that I actually liked it a lot.

The redesign thing is cool too because you can do it in 2 years and get a fresh battery.

Pretty stoked to have a (more then I will ever need) 128 GB phone. Got this for $20:

Here is a photo of mine, I got the Black & Dark Gray Metal with Gray Ballistic Nylon back and Black accents. Picked up a 128GB Sandisk MicroSDXC card from Newegg for 40.00 on Black Friday as well. That will be here this afternoon. Almost feels like Christmas already.

I got the same date on my Turbo2 order. I imagine it will be sooner than that. When I ordered my son the 360, it arrived about a week before their expected date.

I ordered mine 11/27 using the Designed By You option and it wasn't supposed to be delivered until 12/08. It arrived yesterday on 12/1, and no they aren't assembled in Texas any more. They are built in China and shipped from Hong Kong Airport to the US. However, from time of shipping of mine from Hong Kong airport to delivery to me in Washington State was about 24 hours, including customs clearance. I couldn't believe how fast it got here.

LOL Not if they're built in the same plant as the Moto X Pure's. I just got the tracking info for the MXPE that my wife is getting for Christmas. The origination point is "SHENZHEN, CN CN"

 

[Sajo]

Yes the new plant is in Shenzen China. It moved there from TX when Lenovo bought Motorola. The shipping estimates are a little over-exaggerated. I ordered mine on Friday and the estimated arrival date was 12/08. I received it last night. My wife's phone is stuck in Customs, but has made it to the US already. You should get your phone a few days sooner than the estimated arrival date.

Wife's phone arrived today. Moto Maker + Droid = Cool!
