Motorla has begun sending out invitations for its official Moto X unveiling on August 1st at a media event in New York City. The flagship Android phone has been rumored to launch in August, and yesterday Motorola tweeted a picture of the device being assembled at a plant in Texas. Print ads for the Moto X have already been in circulation, and multiple leaks have revealed specific details about the highly anticipated device.

Multiple leaks have indicated that the Moto X won’t actually ship to customers until the last week of August. We expect Motorola to announce pre-orders after the unveiling and then start shipping from various carriers as the weeks progress.

Google Chairman Eric Schmidt has been seen using the Moto X in the wild, and a leaked promotional video from Rogers, a Canadian carrier, recently showed off several key features in the new device.
