It's finally happened - Moto Maker is now available in a country other
than the USA. Germany is the first land to get it, but we should expect
the service to arrive in other parts of Europe soon too. Moto Maker
is basically a website that allows you to heavily customize a Moto X
smartphone before you get it. You can select the colors for the handset's
back, and even the material the back cover is made from. Accent hues
are ripe for the picking too, and you can add a few words of your own
onto the phone's back if you so wish.
All of this is way more than your average handset maker allows in terms of
customization by buyers - keep in mind this happens before you receive
the phone, not using any aftermarket solutions. The way things seem to
work in Germany is such: you first go to Phone House and select a plan
with which you want to purchase the Moto X. Alternatively, you can
choose the SIM-free route which will cost you 389, by the way.
After making your purchase from Phone House, you'll receive a special
code via email. Then you go to the Moto Maker website, configure your
device exactly how you want it, and finally enter the aforementioned code
in the last step of the process.
