Moto Maker will be available world-wide in March

Moto Maker

MWC 2015 brought us a few stories of all types, yet the presses never stop. Now, Motorola has announced their Moto Maker service will be available worldwide.

Motorola announced a plethora of stuff at MWC 2015, the Moto E 4G being the greatest among them, as well as the new Moto X finally arriving at several countries that had been unjustly overlooked, yet these are not the biggest news the company had to share. Turns out that by the end of March, Moto Maker is going to be available world-wide.

Yet, what is Moto Maker? It’s Motorola’s very own device personalization platform, which allows users to change colors and material of a phone’s case before buying them, as to create completely unique devices fit to any user’s tastes. As of now, this platform was only available for the US and select European countries, yet by the end of March it is going to expand to several other countries.

It seems that the project might also expand to include non phone devices and gadgets to this program, so users could get a Moto 360 smartwatch personalized to their tastes, for example, which makes it a way more desirable product. Is it time to hold off on purchases and wait a bit?

Moto Maker

Hankering for a new Moto X, are you? If you're an AT&T loyalist (or just can't figure out a way to slip out of your contract), the carrier has just published its launch details surrounding the most monumental Motorola handset in a decade. The vanilla black and white models will be available for sale starting August 23rd, with the 16GB version going for $199.99 on a two-year agreement and the 32GB variant for $249.99. (With AT&T Next, the 16GB model is available for $27 per month and the 32GB model is $32 per month.)

Moto Maker shipments will begin on 8/23 as well, with a "lucky few" who registered for early access able to get their orders started on the 19th. Moreover, AT&T will be stocking Skip, and all Moto Maker orders will include a Skip gratis for a limited time. If you're curious to see what kind of crazy coloring options are at your disposal, we're told that major (but not all) AT&T retail outlets will boast a table like the one shown above -- decisions, decisions.

Building a Moto X with Moto Maker (hands-on video)

Moto X

We had a walkthrough with Motorola's dedicated Moto X assembly site during the company's launch event earlier this month, but we've since had a chance to log on and build our own device, selecting front, back and accent colors with a live preview updating along the way. Not much has changed since August 1st, but considering you'll be walking out of an AT&T store with a $200 scratch-off card and a two-year contract, it's worth taking another look at what you'll find when you get home. Click past the break for our hands-on video to see what we managed to make.
