The rumours that Motorola would soon unveil a 64GB version of the Moto X were true. Motorola explains that the new model is launching “because the Moto X is the phone that keeps getting better.” It will be available starting on June 8 through MotoMaker for AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Republic Wireless customers (it appears that Verizon customers are out of luck). Motorola is also lauching a new very limited time promotion called “Try Then Buy” that will let customers try out their own customized Moto X for two weeks before deciding to keep it (and paying for it of course) or returning it.
Here’s how “Try Then Buy” works:
-
Consumers go to motorola.com starting Sunday, June 8, at 11:00 p.m. to sign up and receive a special code.
-
Then it’s over to Moto Maker, our online studio, to design a custom, no-contract device. A penny charge will be placed on their credit card while the try out the device for the next two weeks.
-
After 14 days, if the consumer likes their phone, their credit card will be charged. If not, Motorola will pay to ship the Moto X back. Those who keep the phone get a promo code for 30% off accessories as a welcome to the Moto X family.
The “Try Then Buy” promotion will only be open for 24 hours from Sunday, June 8 at 2300 CDT to Monday, June 9 at 2300 CDT. Quantities will also be limited to you will need to move quickly.
As for the 64GB Moto X, aside from the additional capacity it will be no different from current models. It will sell for US$100 more than the 16GB model. That puts it at US$449 before you configure it.
