Moto X vs. Everybody Else

Check out below for an amazing spec strip down by The Verge:

Moto X Availability and Pricing

The Moto X is coming to all the big players in the US telcom industries. Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, US Cellular, and T-Mobile will be offering the phone $199.99 on contract with 16 GB of storage. The 32 GB model will be priced higher, AT&T is offering it at $249.99.

AT&T has landed a HUGE exclusive. At launch, you can only get a customized version on AT&T. To customize the phone, you have to use the Moto Maker online. Also, you can only pick between 16 back cover options, not 18. AT&T will be carrying only black and white versions at its retail stores.

On all other carriers, you can only pick between the black or white versions as of right now. Motorola will hopefully be be opening up the velvet rope to Moto Maker for other carriers soon. Regardless, the Moto X is available on all carriers, but just not with as many bells and whistles as the AT&T versions do.

The Moto X is Out, Will it help Motorola?

The Exterior

You make your phone

There are 504 versions of the Moto X. Start out by picking one of 18 back covers, either a black or white front panel, and seven colors for the side buttons and rear camera lens. You also pick between 16 and 32 GB for storage. To wrap it up, you can engrave the back of it.

You handmake your phone using the "Moto Maker" online. Even though the Moto X is available on every carrier (GSM and CDMA), the customization is only available for AT&T customers at launch. And, let's say you don't like your phone. You have up to two weeks to ship it bak and grab another one.

Made in the USA

To permit for the custom design process, Motorola has based the entire Moto X operation in Fort Worth, Texas. Bits and pieces come from 16 startes and countries from around the world, and around 2,000 workers or so assemble the phones. Motorola claims that you can order your phone, and then it will get to you in 4 days or less.

The Moto X's exterior is awesome, but the interior is a totally different story.

The Interior

The Moto X has a 4.7 inch 720p AMOLED display. The specs are very mid-range though. The phone is powered by a glorified Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chip with two custom chips for the always-on voice recognition. The phone runs Android 4.2.2 (4.3 is hiding?), with only a little of customization. A stock Android version of the phone is in the works. A $199 phone seems like a very big bet for Motorola. Hopefully, the phone will succeed.

Netflix Rolls Out Individual Profiles, Up to 5 Per Account

Netflix has decided its time to ship individual profiles, allowing up to 5 people to share one Netflix account. Each person can have their own settings, viewing history, and queue. Profiles are coming out today to all Netflix regions, but it may take a few weeks for the new option to appear on everyone's account. Device support may be a little shaky at first, but most platforms are ready for the upgrade today. The only two odd men out, are Android and the Wii. They will be coming "later in the fall" and in mid-August.
