It gives them a chance to cut off issues before they are real issues. But the roll out time is usually very quick. Once they start, it's not long before it's out to everyone. The groups get larger and larger with each portion of the rollout, so you should have it very soon.
I definitely understand the reasoning for the rollout, it just seems weird to me that it's basically two days later and my Moto X Pure Edition still doesn't have the update. There can't be that many Pure Editions floating around out there that it should take many days to get to all of them.

Yeah, I am always excited for a new update, I just have no idea what it will entail. I just wait and find out once it's on my phone, lol.

Sherm, do you have any thoughts on the Moto 360? I thought about getting one but I might wait until the second version.

You'd be surprised. Since Moto allowed people to finance phones directly through the site, we're seeing a dip in carrier sales and a big increase in the website traffic.

I like my 360. There was an update last week that helped tremendously with battery life, which was my only complaint. The fit is good, it's smooth, and the new metal bands are absolutely legit. I don't really know what they would do differently for a second generation. So I'd say if you are anxious to get an Android Wear watch, pull the trigger.

One last question. Am I going to get a notification that an update is ready? I keep going in to the settings and manually checking for the update because, like I said, I'm an impatient SOB. Can I stop doing that?

Ya. You can stop doing that. It'll automatically download in the background and then give you a notification that it's ready to install.

BTW, if the update doesn't come today I'm holding you personally responsible for selling me on this phone. :)

Ha! All I did was let you see it early. LOL.

But I will take that hit.

Basically I can't get past Moto using the TI OMAP chip in the 360. Stupid reason on my part, I know.

If it makes you feel better, I have two live Moto X's, both with AT&T SIMs in them and neither has gotten the update yet. I switched my VZW work line from the Turbo to a Moto X to check and didn't get the update at all. So I just went back to the Turbo.

But I'm loving it on my Nexus on my personal line.

Pretty much any high end droid that came out since the galaxy note 3.

iPhone 6 would be my third choice right now behind the Moto X and the Nexus 6. But, I'm picky in that I refuse to buy a carrier-exclusive or carrier-bloatware'd phone.
