Hey all,
I've searched high and low, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to determine which Moto X version I purchased on Amazon. Here's a screenshot of my about phone page:

You have the XT1053 - either the T-Mobile (GSM unlocked) variant, or the GSM Developer edition.

If you look on the back near the bottom, you should see "XT1053" in very small letters. Might need a magnifying glass to make it out.

Wow, yup, you're right. That is very hard to make out! It did come unlocked, but was not listed as the Developer Edition. Is there an easy way to tell if I have the Developer edition?

Sounds like the Dev Edition comes with a black front and should say it on the back as well, so mine must just be the T-Mobile version.

The Developer edition ONLY comes with a black front and white back.

If yours isn't that color, it isn't the DEV edition. No worries though....they are EXACTLY the same device. Only difference: While both can have their bootloaders unlocked for free via Moto's website, only the DEV edition retains its warranty after being unlocked.
