Moto X: Everything we know about Google's All-American Phone, Designed by You

As some may already know, Google has officially purchased Motorola. Their first phone under Google will be called the Moto X, and it is sizing up to be an Android flagship. The advertisement campaign has pushed the American manufacturing aspect of the phone. This is likely a direct response to the somewhat recent revelation that Apple's iPhone and iPad are manufactured in China by workers who frequently are underage and/or underpaid.
The Moto X doesn't just focus on it's American aspects- it also touts that is "designed by you."
A quote from Motorala's website: 
"People are skydiving out of space ships. But you can't design your own phone? Not anymore. Now Moto X lets you choose the front, the back, the accents, the wallpaper, the memory, and even a short message. It's all your call."

As you can see, the Moto X isn't a standout in terms of its technology, but the strong Google Now integration and the customizable, Made in the USA ad campaign may help it pull ahead.
