Moto X Phone Wooden Back Plate Customization Delayed Once Again
The Moto X phone wooden back plate customization option was delayed once again.
Motorola will not be supporting the wood backing for the Moto handsets for a few more weeks, according to a report from Reuters. This is the second time the customization option was pushed back as it was originally expected to be available at the device's launch.
Despite the option being delayed, other specials will be available for the Moto X phone during the 2013 holiday shopping season. The device's price recently dropped to just $0.01 for customers who purchase the device on Amazon with a new contract through either AT&T or Sprint.

Unfortunately the new deal will not allow buyers to customize their device using Moto Maker, but it is still great savings for anyone looking to pick up the handset. The Moto X is also available through Verizon for this price. All three carriers are offering the device in black and white.
Various carriers such as T-Mobile have already begun rolling out Android 4.4, KitKat for the Moto X.
Unlike AT&T's soak test, T-Mobile fully rolled out the software to the device. It will be pushed out in phases so it could take a few days to reach certain people.
New features on KitKat include enhancements such as restyled status and navigation bars, a new full-screen mode, color emoji support, improved closed captioning support, stronger security, and an improved phone app with the ability to look up contacts directly from the dial pad. The camera will gain a touch to focus feature as well.
The update should begin rolling out for AT&T users soon as the carrier began soak testing the software last week. Verizon performed similar soak tests and released the software shortly after.
