Seven months after launching in the U.S., and two months after the U.K., the unlocked variant of Motorola’s current flagship smartphone, the Moto X, is now on its way to Australia and will be available to purchase within the next couple of weeks. According to the support page on the manufacturer’s website, potential customers can pick up the handset in either black or white for AUD$549, and will be able to pop in a Telstra, Optus or Vodafone SIM card upon receipt, though, it is expected that support for more carriers will be added in the not too distant future.

Sprint will begin selling Moto Maker codes in-store beginning Friday, March 14, according to leaked promotional pages that have surfaced online. Customers will be able to go into a Sprint retail store and grab a Moto X on contract, then take home a code that will allow them to customize the device online before it is delivered.

There are some caveats, though.

With every passing week, OnePlus has been revealing a new feature and specification of their upcoming handset — the OnePlus One. In the last few days, they have revealed that the handset would sport a 5.5-inch 1080p display inside a body that is smaller than the Xperia Z1, a Snapdragon 800 processor and a 3100mAh battery.

Today, the company has revealed that their upcoming handset will also feature a Moto X like always-on listening mode and is actually taking feedback on their forums for the wakeup phrase. 

If you own a Moto X on AT&T and have joined the Motorola Feedback Network you should be receiving an invitation for a new soak test this afternoon. Unfortunately, we don’t know exactly what this latest update will bring, but recent rumors suggest that the latest build of Android 4.4.2 KitKat will be included, together with some minor fixes for the built-in camera application.

Motorola has updated its official Touchless Control application on the Google Play Store for Droid Ultra, Droid Mini, Droid Maxx and Moto X owners running the latest build of Android 4.4 KitKat. This latest version of the app allows its operators to say a voice command and in return have their notifications read aloud to them without even having to come into physical contact with their phone.
