Motorola’s Moto X – Ring In the New Year with a Custom Design

I have told you in past posts about how much I love my Moto X phone through Republic Wireless! If you haven’t read any posts about how much I love my phone, well I love my phone and my provider! I honestly never wanted a smartphone until I got my Moto X phone.  I had a flip phone previously and I was just fine with it, but we were paying WAY too much for just talk and text. While I really try hard not to use it a lot outside of talking and texting when needed, I do love the camera and also being able to check my emails when I am away from my computer.  All the rest of the stuff that comes with smartphones is just added bells and whistles, but for me I don’t use it. That’s just my personality!

This last month Motorola recently came out with the new Moto X 2nd Generation, and it is a sweet phone!  Motorola’s Moto X  is a fully customizable smartphone that offers the ultimate in custom gifting – either for yourself or a loved one. I’m sure you all have cash you are just dying to spend after Christmas!  Why not “Ring in the New Year” with a custom design! My husband and I had fun playing around with it trying to customize it to our liking! My husband liked the natural wood look.

MotoMaker.com is the online studio where you can design your Moto X. There are thousands of ways to make Moto X unique to you or anyone for that matter! You choose the colors, leather or wood and decide all the details: front, back, accents, memory storage, wallpapers, even add a name or a short message that is laser engraved on the back Leather backs are available in Black, Cognac, Navy and Natural and are sourced from Horween.  Below is the phone I designed in leather!

The new Moto X raises the bar in design with a perfectly-sized 5.2-inch HD display and a curved frame that fits comfortably into your hand It lets you do more using only your voice, working with favorite apps like Facebook, Twitter, Google Play Music and Pandora. It’s aware of where you are–in the car, in a meeting or going to sleep–and adjusts to your preferences accordingly. You can even name it whatever you want and ask it questions “Wake up, Shirley… what’s the weather?”

The coolest part to me is the camera!  It is a 13 MP rear camera, and my favorite feature on these phones is the Tap Anywhere feature!  The camera makes sure you capture every can’t-miss moment, even at the most dimly lit events!  Don’t worry the Best Shot feature takes several photos before and after you snap the picture and identifies your optimal shot. It even knows if you’ve taken several pictures at a party or on vacation, and will organize them into a highlight reel with options for music and special effects!  How cool is that?

The new Moto X is everything you want in a premium smartphone without the premium price. It is available for $99 with a two-year contract and $499 without a contract. Add $25 for the wood or leather backs. Also check out Republic Wireless to get them for a great deal also!
