Motorola just announced pre-orders of their updated Moto X with 5.2″ 1080p display begin Tuesday September 16. Two versions will be available for pre-order; the first an AT&T model and second a “Pure Edition” which vanquishes carrier crapware and offers an unlockable bootloader. In addition, the Moto Hint (Bluetooth headset) and Motorola Turbo (fast charger) will be available for pre-order.

Put me down for one 32 GB Pure Edition!
Last year’s phone is still good enough for me, but I’m still tempted by the Moto 360. My Pebble watch is broken and I don’t think I want to bother fixing or replacing it, but you sure do get used to watch notifications pretty fast, and Moto’s trusted bluetooth unlocking is also convenient.
