Moto X Price Announced for Australia, Release Coming Soon
The Moto X price will be set for $549 in Australia, according to a report from Android Authority.
The new device will finally make its debut there after being out for almost a year. There haven't been any announcements from the major carriers in the area. However, it will probably end up being launched on companies such as Optus, Vodafone and Telstra when the time comes. No Moto Maker support has been announced either.
Motorola announced a special "College Collection" of customizations that will be available through Moto Maker earlier this month. Students will be able to apply custom school colors and logos for various schools in the U.S to their device.

This will include new colors and team names of 40 schools. The logos will be printed on clear cases from Uncommon instead of customers having to put them on the device themselves.
The device's successor, the Moto X2's release date was announced for summer 2014 by Motorola earlier this month.
The company confirmed the news during this year's Mobile World Congress during a Q&A session. They said "the next version of Moto X" will arrive sometime in "late summer." Motorola also plans to expand availability of its current smartphone lineup and the Moto Maker tool for its customers. Motorola will bring it to Europe and Mexico.
The company also plans to stick with Android as its primary OS. It also confirmed that the original Moto X will be released in India and Australia during the next few weeks.
The Moto X launched in August of last year and functions as the company's flagship handset. It features specs that failed to wow many critics, but seemed to execute well in other areas including its integration of the Android operating system, which is similar to what is found on the Nexus line. It seems to have grown in popularity thanks to that Nexus-type feel.
