Putting an end to the rumors and early sightings, Motorola has opened up the Moto Maker customizations for all four major US carriers this morning. Or in other words, customers outside of AT&T are now able to move forward and purchase a customized Moto X. Otherwise, the Moto X is priced at $99.99 on a two-year agreement and at the moment, the Moto Maker site is reflecting an estimated delivery of four days.
The Moto Maker process is broken down into a few steps beginning with the styling. This includes choosing the colors for the front, back and accents as well as adding a signature — aka, the engraving. Step two takes you to the features which includes options to set the internal storage, (16GB or 32GB), boot-up welcome message and wallpaper.
Step three then offers the option to add some accessories. A wall charger is included for free, however Motorola does allow you to choose between black or white. The other accessory options include a case and some headphones. Aside from the charger though, the remaining accessories all come with added expense.
Getting back to the most important aspect though — the design process. Moto Maker allows you to choose between 18 different colors for the back with either black or white for the front. You can also pick from 7 different colors for the accents. At this time the engraving doesn’t appear to add any extra time to the delivery. Finally, while the 16GB model is priced at $99.99, the 32GB model is $149.99.
That makes this really compelling in regards to smartphones now.
