MotoMaker: how to design your Moto X

2013-08-16
well hey guys it's David with the Virgin we're looking at moto maker this is how you design your Moto X it's available to no one right now but eventually it's coming to 18t customers and hopefully to everyone soon after that this is the real hook of this phone so it's a very sort of nice looking googly tool on those do you click get started and it shows you this is what your phone looks like right now so you can see on the back you can pick any bunch of different colors they're sorted out by you know the boring colors the warm colors the cool colors it's just there are 18 different options and this is how it's showing them to you and you can pick your color and it automatically shows in real time what your phone is going to look like and then you can go to the front and you pick either black or white and the phone will automatically change what it is depending on which you pick so then you pick the accent now you have lots of options to the other two and these are sore their own unique colors it's not totally clear why you can't pick these for other things but you get different options here then the next thing is if you want to have an engraving on the back of your phone and what we've discovered is i can write this is david's and let me do that it'll show me what it looks like on the back you can only have it on one line so you can't write a novel if you want to but there's lots of things that it won't let you say so you can't write the word apple says we'd rather you not say that how about another tribe doesn't like samsung very much i can try huawei huawei is cool but basically the honest truth is you probably shouldn't put an inscription on here because whatever you put three months from now you're inevitably going to eight so throughout the whole process it jumps to whatever things you want to look at the accents or the back or the front but any time you can just turn on the 360 view and it'll actually let you just move around the phone as you want to this tool is a little bit buggy and slow right now but I guess that's why it's not available to everybody so this as of now is exactly what my phone looks like from every imaginable angle the rest of it is picking which kind of phones that you want here I'm just getting a 16 gig you can have it say something when you turn on the phone you can say like sup bro and that's what my phone is going to say to me every time it turns on so what's kind of cool is you can automatically have it all personalized for you when you first turn on the phone which is kind of neat so you can pick your wallpaper there cool ones I like some I really hate a bunch of the other ones and then you can set it to sign into Google account and once you're logged in this means it will all be set up on your phone as soon as you turn it on so once you've set up the phone the exact way you want it to you can style some of your accessories you can get a wall charger that looks the way you wanted to and you can have headphones in a bunch of different colors Sol Republic is the partner here and they'll actually select headphones that they think match your phone so I had those the order they're 3995 extra it can change that however many times i want i can choose between a white and black wall charger and then once you're done it's just a matter of checking to make sure your phone looks exactly the way you want it to you can change any options you want obviously right up until the very end so then all I have to do is click process order and because it's made in Texas or assembled in Texas anyway this phone will be to me in four days that's how it's going to work for all 18t customers when it comes out and hopefully be expanded to many more customers very soon so that's the moto maker tool it's not super different than what you might have thought but it's pretty cool and I'm going to spend a lot of time customizing this phone
