2. Moto X to be Available in the UK on February 1st for £380

Just a day before Motorola’s event in London, the CEO Dennis Woodside announced that Mot o X will be available in the UK on February 1st for £380 off-contract and £25 a month on-contract. Unlike the U.S. variant, you don’t have the option to customize your own device and you’ll get what Motorola has prepared for you.

There are no words whether the Moto Maker will get available for the European variants or not, but for now you don’t have this great feature in the UK, France and Germany as the first European countries to offer Moto X.
