Our custom Moto X has arrived - and it is sweet

2013-08-21
you ever wonder what it might be like to design the look and feel of your own smartphone and have it arrive at your door just as you'd built it online well we got a feel for what that's like using moto maker here at pocket now last week and Taylor Martin's unit came in a couple days ago and I just woke up to this unit on my front porch we're gonna unbox the Moto X I designed on my very own see how it came out and hopefully give you a feel for what it's like to open up your own customized smartphone I'm Michael Fisher this is PocketNow let's get to it so we've got a pretty good feel of what it's like to unbox the Moto X in general from our standard unboxing and the full review and all the rest of our Moto X coverage but as a reminder this is the device I'm going to slice it open as I speak here by the way it's not often you get to do this in an unboxing it's not often that it's it's shrink wrapped right from the factory this was put together in Fort Worth the difference as I was saying and this unboxing is that this was designed by me using Motorola's customized customizable customization Ladin whatever moto maker software which let me choose my colors my trim colors and stuff we had an editorial about it last week I should read this first before I even turn the power on I wonder what that is all about ok this is about porting your number and all that kind of stuff that make sense makes sense gotta find out where you gotta have you gotta make sure you got all the right things to have I'm very tired alright so let's see oh look at whoa I'm actually quite excited the review unit was black and kind of like unremarkable end but this one will not be that oh I show you the back plate first this is my royal blue Moto X my own design if you will some of you will find it very ugly others I have more in common with will like it this is a royal blue backplate there would be some engraving here if I had been braver but I decided to go song's engraving Taylor Martin's unit if you want to see that now that we got the box out of the way we can actually take a look at the unit see the yellow trim on the camera bezel there at yellow trim is also duplicated on the volume keys and I decided to go for a white face plate instead of the black figuring that the black would clash with blue and hopefully I made the right decision there it is interesting first of all it's interesting how this unit looks with gunner optics on let's go ahead and take those off and now I can actually see there is not much contrast between the yellow and the white but boy it really pops nicely in the this feel I was worried about the back cover feeling different considering it lacks that that we've finished but it doesn't it's just as nice the soft touch is wonderful that dimple is perfect and it feels very very comfortable to hold in the hand would get a wider view here we'll go ahead and power the unit on for the first time and as it powers on we'll go ahead and peel our screen protector off yeah that went and it can wait folks as about say drinking and driving well that's a really bad idea to texting and driving though that that can wait oh it's interesting okay do not change your device's orientation while it's booting it will become confused just holding the device in your hand and kind of giving it a spin around for the first time it's it's it's unlike any other experience not necessarily because of the colors or the options and stuff although there were many and I do like the colors I chose but because you know that you you're stuck with this you're not gonna be able to change this with a casing or a skin I mean probably do a scan but it wouldn't look very good you know or anything like that I mean these are the colors you've chosen for two years so you really better like them I know that I like the blue I like the yellow I wish that I had had more than two choices for the faceplate because I'm not sure I love this the white faceplate on this device but aside from that mild bit of concern I think I would be pretty happy to open up the box to find a phone like this because I like my own design so they're really just a quick look at a customized motox royal blue yellow accents on the buttons and a white faceplate folks do you love it do you hate it would you have done something differently would you have done everything differently
