Moto X smartphone appears on the Best Buy site

One of the more anticipated smartphones this summer is Motorola's new Moto X.

During its unveiled earlier this month, it was said to be coming to all major US carriers, and that it allows for greater user customization. Though it wasn't clear yet what the pricing would be and when it would be released, it now appears that August 23rd may be the date.

Today, the Moto X is showed up on the Best Buy site for Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint in both the white and black colors for $199.99 with a 2-year contract, or $699.99 without contract. Keep in mind that the $699 off-contract price may not be accurate, as Best Buy often charges more for off-contract phones than buying it directly from the carrier. Yesterday, Leo Laporte stated that carriers are only paying $350 for the Moto X, so he believe it would be $199.99 - which is confirmed by the listings on the Best Buy site.

Are you planning or buying the Moto X?

Thanks Tom!
