When Motorola announced the Moto X earlier this month, it also unveiled Moto Maker, the online design studio that customers can use to add their personal touch to their new Motorola smartphone. Moto Maker is exclusive to AT&T customers right now, so customization options are only available to current and prospective AT&T customers. The carrier released Moto X on August 23rd, those who wanted to customize their device had to walk into an AT&T store, purchase a credit for the Moto X and then go back to their computer and use Moto Maker. Fortunately, the whole process has now been streamlined. Customers can now purchase and design their new device from the comfort of their couch.

That’s not all. Motorola also announced today that it is now selling unlocked Moto X for $579. The unlocked version can be purchased straight from Motorola itself. The Moto X will soon become available from other carriers as well, Verizon has announced that it releases Moto X on August 29th. We’ve already put the Moto Maker through its paces and have designed a custom Moto X. If you plan on doing the same, do take a look at our guide on how to use the design studio to create your very own unique smartphone.

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.

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.
