Sprint has announced that it will start selling Moto X on its network starting September 6. The smartphone has been priced at $199.99 with the usual two-year contract.
The telecom operator has also revealed that new customers who switch their phone number to Sprint from another carrier will receive an additional $100 instant credit, reducing the price of Moto X to $99.99 with contract. This promotion is valid for a limited time.
“Moto X is the first smartphone that can respond to your specific needs with features like Touchless Control, Active Display and Quick Capture,” said David Owens, Vice president-Product Development, Sprint. “We expect customers to quickly become hooked on Touchless Control because of its ease and convenience for everyday tasks like locating the nearest gas station, ordering a pizza or searching the Web for sports updates.
To remind you, Moto X runs on Android 4.2.2 and is powered by Motorola’s custom designed X8 mobile computing platform, which integrates dual-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU, four GPU cores, one natural language processor core and one contextual computing core.
I’ll wait until MotoMaker goes live for all carriers but will all those problems Motorola is having just fulfilling the AT&T orders…who knows when that will be.
