T-Mobile Users Will Have to Buy Moto X Directly Through Motorola For Now

Even though the recently unveiled Moto X is launching on various US carriers, it appears as though T-Mobile customers will have to jump through a few hoops to buy one.

T-Mobile’s very own Mike Sievert confirmed in a conversation with AllThingsD that the T-Mobile Moto X variant will only be available through Motorola directly for the time being. Sievert suggested that T-Mobile could offer the flagship inside retail stores, but that for now going through Motorola direct is the only option. Here’s what the Motorola Official Blog had to say:

Where to Get It

 

Moto X will be available in the US, Canada and Latin America starting in late August/early September.

 

In the US, woven black and woven white models will be available at AT&T, Sprint, US Cellular, Verizon Wireless and at national retailers including Best Buy stores with a suggested retail price of $199 with a new two-year agreement. Additionally, it will be available on all carriers, including T-Mobile, at Motorola.com.

You’ll hear from our carrier partners around the globe regarding exact pricing and availability.

 

*Subject to parts availability

**California residents will have 30 days to return

Pricing still remains a thing of uncertainty as T-Mobile will offer the Moto X with a down payment option versus having the user pay in full.

So, if you call the UnCarrier your home, then don’t expect to waltz inside your local store and find the Moto X waiting for you. You’re best bet is to stalk Motorola directly. We’ll keep you updated here when more details surrounding the T-Mobile variant become available.
