How much storage space is available to us on a brand new device (both the 16GB and 32GB options)?

i heard the stock OS uses 6.5GB. if that is correct it would be 9.5GB and 25.5GB of free space.

I'm not sure where you got that number from. Even on the nexus 4 or 7, pure stock takes up only around 3.5-4.0GB. From the MotoX my friend has, it showed 11.88Gb of 16Gb right out of box. There isn't any bloat at all except for two att apps that can be disabled, but it requires a little extra space than pure stock due to the moto apps.

That number came from a Verizon x

And the x isn't a nexus, so it is definitely larger than a N4 or N7

Not being a nexus doesn't change the fact that it is close to pure stock as you get with just the moto apps added in. MotoX doesn't add any of the stuff Samsung or HTC does like the bloaty touchwiz or sense ui.

The 11.88gb number is from an att unit. But that doesn't mean the 2gb difference is due to carriers. I'm betting that guy installed his other apps on there before reporting that number.

Oh trust me, Verizon bloatware is pretty horrifying

But the active notification stuff is a huge chunk..

Active notifications is an app, so it falls under the app category, not system OS. Again, the motoX also has active notifications, so the app isn't going to magically use 2GB more space on the maxx. But I noticed you have 32GB that could account for the difference since larger internal storage reserves more space for more general formatting than a 16GB.

Before I loaded my games and apps I had about 12gb of free space on my X
