New Moto X reportedly showing up in Verizon documents with Moto Maker option

We're days away from finding out what Motorola has in store for the new Moto X, Moto G and Moto 360 but already several leaks have surfaced dropping hints about the new devices. The latest is a document from Verizon lends credence to the earlier images of Bamboo and possibly leather-backed Moto X +1's. It seems the Moto Maker option will continue to be a big feature for the Motorola flagship handset and not just on AT&T. We'd love to have the Moto Maker option for Canadian handsets too, hope it happens. Stay tuned to CanadianReviewer.com on September 4th as we report live from Chicago for Motorola's launch extravaganza.

Motorola to offer Moto Maker customization to the UK, Germany and Mexico but not Canada

Motorola Mobility is going to offer the Moto Maker customization option to Moto X customers in the UK, Germany and Mexico in Q2. There is no mention of having the service available to Canada, which would be an ideal candidate because of its proximity to the US (Moto Maker phones are proudly made in the USA).

Moto Maker is one of the big draws for users choosing the Moto X. It allows for various colour and texture customizations, the ability to choose storage capacities, and even personal engravings and phone startup graphics. Motorola is looking at partners to produce the phones for Europe. So those of us in Canada pining for a 32GB Wood Backed Moto X are out of luck. Sad fact.

Sort of reminds us of how the Moto G shells, which were similarly a huge feature for that device during launch, aren't even being sold in Canada.
