Absolutely! I think I'm the first at least in Shreveport, Louisiana with a water-proof Galaxy S4 ACTIVE on MetroPCS, and the BYOD program isnt even available here yet! I was gonna make a post about this but out of all the freakin 2 dozen dealers we have here and no corporate store (yes as far as the CDMA network goes we are a Metro LTE market), the one store i do business with got the GSM sim cards and hooked me up Saturday!

Years ago in another life I ran SCCA Autocrosses.
A friend of mine wanted to get The First Chrysler GLH Turbo in the State of Florida.
He got with Chisler and flew to somewhere in Michigan to watch his GLH go down the assembly line. I think he took possession of it AT the factory.
Go for it Dee2!

I don't know if I'll be the 1st in Jersey to get one but I am leaning towards getting the Moto X if the price is right. That leaked Rogers video helped me decide. Dual core is plenty fast for my phone use and the rumored 2gb ram will help.

Not that I was on the fence about it any way but when my lady seen it she was impressed on top of the color options and she wants one now.
I may not agree with what you say, but will defend your right to say it.

Well then you have to get one before yoyr lady if you want to be first, maybe even if you open yours first. If you ain't first your last.

So Verizon just announced 3 new Moto Droids that share many of the rumored features of the Moto X. The "always listening", the camera shake to wake, 720p screen with almost no bezel etc. Now as far as the processor is concerned it also matches up with the rumored 1.7 dual core, but here'swhere it gets weird. The phones all share the same SOC, a new Motorola one dubbed the X8 which has 8 total cores. The 1.7ghz dual core app processor, a 4 core 400mhz GPU, a contextual computing processor, and a language processor. So my 2 part question for those who know this stuff better than me is:
1) Given that these phones seem very Moto Xish is it likely that this X8 SOC will also be on the Moto X?
2) What the heck do these extra cores mean in real world performance? Will this SOC raise it from midtier performance?

We talked about that in the moto x thread and a thread I made in the lounge its looking like the moto x is packing that 8x and means just that
