If you live in the States, chances are you won't have a hard time getting your hands on a Motorola Moto X once it is out. That's because the smartphone is bound to launch on every major carrier across the country, and even US Cellular is in the game. Folks in Europe and other places of the world, on the other hand, are in for a disappointment.If you’re excited for the Moto X, and you live in the U.K., it looks like you’re going to need to see about importing the phone on your own.Motorola won't be bringing its freshly-unveiled Moto X to Europe. The reasons for this are unclear but insufficient supply or due to the different structure of the market seem like hot prospects.
“It doesn’t mean that Europe is not a key priority for Motorola,” a U.K. spokesmen of Motorola told them. He went on to add, “Essentially, the Moto X is the first device in a new product portfolio, basically a new family of devices.”The information comes courtesy of a Motorola spokesperson in the UK and doesn't mean that the Motorola is abandoning Europe entirely. It's just that Motorola have other X-branded devices down the line, which will be making an appearance on the old continent.
According to said spokesperson the Moto X is just the first in a line of X-branded portfolio. There's talk that the company will introduce a cheaper variant next, but it's mostly guesswork at this point.In case that wasn’t enough to calm your fears, the Motorola spokesman really wanted to drive the point home. “Because it is the first one, the Moto X has had a real buzz around it, but the U.S. launch is not about the U.S. being Motorola’s priority at all, there are devices coming to Europe. We can’t share what they are as of yet, but they are from the same family. They are cool and they are exciting and there is a lot in Europe coming up.”
Clearly something will be arriving for our friends over in the U.K. and the rest of Europe, but what that is will have to remain a mystery for at least a little while longer.
