Last week, Punit Soni (Motorola’s VP of Product Management) told us that we were “days” away from the arrival of Developer Editions and other carrier models of the Moto X.
Yesterday, Motorola updated their Moto X “ways to buy” page, showing
off the new Developer Edition, which will sport a black front panel
coupled with a white woven rear back plate. The render of the phone also
shows the words “DEVELOPER EDITION” engraved on the bottom.
The company says the phone will have “of course” an unlockable
bootloader, but reminds you in footnotes that unlocking the bootloader
of the phone “voids all warranties and may cause serious harm to your
device.”
The page mentions that the dev edition will “have a look all its
own,” meaning the two-tone color scheme is something different than what
you’ll find in carrier models. Now, once MotoMaker is fully opened up
or should you buy a Moto X card from AT&T, you could essentially
build a similar looking device.
The listing also confirms 32GB of storage and an unlockable
bootloader. No price is listed just yet, but since the AT&T 32GB
model runs $629, I’d be surprised if it was lower.
As we said before, the phone can be already ordered from AT&T,
with MotoMaker customization support coming soon. Other U.S. carriers
including Verizon, Sprint and U.S. Cellular will also have the device in
stores soon.
