From CNET: Motorola is trying to lure phone shoppers to its Moto X smartphone by offering $100 off the price of the contract- free 32GB edition.
In an online sale that started at midnight ET Wednesday and ends at 11:59 p.m. ET Thursday, Motorola brings down the price of the no-contract 32GB Moto X to $300 from the usual $400. Snagging the deal requires that you customize the phone through Motorola's Moto Maker website, where you can choose the features, style, and accessories for your phone.
Released last summer, the Moto X has garnered overall positive reviews. But like other smartphone vendors, Motorola faces intense competition from market leaders Apple and Samsung and so is under ongoing pressure to drive sales of its own flagship phone. Motorola may also be prepping a successor to the Moto X, another reason for pushing the current model by trimming the price tag.
Motorola has dangled sweet-but-short sales of the Moto X before. In early May, the company offered the unlocked 16GB version for $300, but for one day only. And in January, Motorola trimmed $100 from the off-contract Moto X, but again for just one day.
