The new Moto X is now available for pre-order in the U.S. Alternatively AT&T subscribers can also visit their carrier’s website to place a pre-order for this smartphone.
Apart from selling the carrier locked Moto X on its website Motorola is also selling the Moto X Pure Edition. There will be no bloatware on this device and it won’t have to wait for carrier approval before a software update is pushed out which is why the Moto X Pure Edition is a good choice for those looking for a stock Android OS experience. The Pure Edition will work on both AT&T and T-Mobile in the U.S.

Those who go with a wood or leather back will have to pay $25 over the $99 price tag, that’s with a conventional two year service contract. Up front the device costs $526. On AT&T Next the smartphone will cost $26.35 or $21.96 monthly on the Next 12 and Next 18 plans respectively.
