Motorola Moto 360 Heading To T-Mobile On Nov 12, While Verizon And AT&T Are Restocking; Two New Colours Hinted
Motorola Moto 360 smartwatch is reportedly heading to T-Mobile and the release date is pegged for Nov. 12.
For quite some time, this incredible wearable gadget has been sold only by Verizon and AT&T. In the hindsight, when the watch got released in September time frame, it sold like hotcakes. But then, the availability of this gadget has not been to the expected level to meet the growing demand. Nevertheless, the Moto 360 is the first smartwatch running on Google's Android Wear OS with a round-dial.
Apart from T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T are also stocking back the Moto 360 and it is expected to hit the store shelves back again on Nov. 12. Even though T-Mobile did not announce the Moto 360 officially, the company representative responded back to a question asked about the availability via Twitter. The surety came from none-other-than T-Mobile's Senior Product Manager, Des Smith, via Twitter. Hence, his answer in affirmation is as good as an official announcement, according to Phone Arena.
Moving on to the material and colour options of the Moto 360, there is no information available on T-Mobiles variants, at this point. However, the 299 USD smartwatch will be available in the much-appreciated leather band design in Verizon i.e. when the carrier re-stocks. Plus, the base model of the device will set the buyers back by the 250 USD.
A recent leak showcased the Moto 360 in a brand new colour "Gold." But then, realizing the mistake Motorola and later, Amazon took down the page with Moto 360 in Champagne Gold hue. The point to be noted, however, is that the gold watch had a matching gold strap. In addition, a silver hued Moto 360 complemented by a brown/cognac leather strap is also in the offing.
As far as the key specifications go, the Motorola Moto 360 features a 1.56-inch display, TI OMAP 3 processor, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of in-built storage and 320 mAh battery unit. Moreover, AT&T is offering a dual-deal. Potential buyers can purchase a Motorola Moto X smartphone and AT&T will cut 50 USD from the original price, making it a handsome 199 USD.
Here is the Tweet corroborating the release of the Moto 360 under T-Mobile.
