The Motorola X phone release date is scheduled for Aug. 23 for AT&T customers.

The carrier sent out a press release earlier today confirming the date. It also said that a few customers who registered on the AT&T page would get early access to Moto Maker to customize their own version of the device starting Aug. 19.

AT&T also stated that early adopters will their Moto X before the general public, however, accomplishing that will be tough since the carrier only has a short window before it is available in stores.

The rumored Verizon release date for the Moto X is Aug. 29.

A leaked Best Buy inventory screen shows that the Verizon version of the Moto X will be released on that date. The screenshot was obtained by Android Central and the site claims that the handset will arrive in stock on Aug. 15 with a street date for Aug. 29. The publication also revealed that the release of the device was "pushed forward three days from its original Aug. 23 launch date.

Since the device's unveiling, various reports have stated that Verizon will release the Moto X on the 23 of this month. The handset was also expected to launch simultaneously with the new Droid line that includes the Droid Maxx, Droid Ultra and Droid Mini.

The new device will feature a 4.7-inch screen with a curved back, a 10-megapixel camera, the option of a white or black body, 16GB or internal memory, and no microSD card slot. Google will offer up to 50GB of free Google Drive storage for Moto X owners for the next two years. The device will not run the latest version of Android, but will instead come with Android 4.2.2, JellyBean out of the box.
