on

The developer editions of the Moto X, Motorola’s first flagship phone since it Google purchased it, are now on sale from the company’s website.

Starting today, users can finally order the developer editions of the device from Motorola’s website for $649.99. Unlike the version that is locked to AT&T’s network, users can’t customize the device using the Moto Maker website that Motorola unveiled at the device’s launch. Instead, users will have to make do with a black front bezel and woven white rear case.

That isn’t to say that users have nothing to be excited about. In addition to that special design, the developer editions of the Moto X are completely unlocked. That means that users can switch between carriers in the case of the GSM version and install new applications and versions of Android without all the hassle that users of non-developer unlocked Android have to endure.
