Motorola on Thursday unveiled its’ much anticipated Moto X
which was created lot of buzz recently. A smartphone that consumers can
personalise from the front to the back, to the accents, the wallpaper, the
memory, and even a short message. The phone's customization options are a novel
touch which may appeal to people.
Though the Spec’ Sheet of Moto X look good with average hardware
specifications but not unto that mark which was expected from Google. It is
also to be noted that the Moto X does not include the newest version of
Android. Noting that the newer 4.3 version of Android was only made available
last week. The phone has Corning Gorilla Glass for the screen and the internals
are have a water-repellent coating, which should make the phone safe to use in
the rain. All spec. are same as reported by Dbuster earlier (to know click Unofficial Specs of Moto X).|

The phone will be available for purchase on all carriers,at motorola.com. It would become available in Canada, Latin America and United States around the same time. The Moto X will go on sale at the end of August or the beginning of September for $199 (16GB) or $249 (32GB) (locked with a two-year contract with any of the AT&T, Verizon, Sprint ,U.S. Cellular and T-Mobile ). Motorola said it has yet to decide a price for unlocked version.
US mobile service provider, will let its customers customize
the phone from a selection of 18 colours for the back, 2 for the front and 7
accent colours for an undisclosed time period. While AT&T will allow
customers to customize their phones, rivals Verizon Wireless, Sprint, T-Mobile
US and US Cellular will only be able to offer black-and-white versions of the
device.Motorola had promised the delivery of customised phones
within four days.
Rick Osterloh, Motorola's V.P. for product management, said
consumers have shown that they are interested in putting their personal stamp
on a phone, seen in the popularity of phone cases featuring various colours and
sparkly surfaces. Motorola is still working out which wood to use, he said.
Because different woods "respond differently" to radio signals.
In addition to design changes such as a curved back and the
choice of colours, the phone's key features are found in its camera and it
response to your voice, no touching necessary interface.
